On a clear winter afternoon, The Lighthouse Restaurant at Cleveland Point provided a beautiful backdrop for Richard and Kerrie’s intimate microwedding. With sweeping views across Moreton Bay and a charming gazebo setting, the venue perfectly suited their vision for an elegant, classic ceremony shared with close family.
The ceremony took place in the gazebo, where sparkling bay views
framed the couple beautifully. A stunning arbour dressed in flowing white
draping and rich burgundy florals added romance to the fresh sea air and created
a memorable focal point for their vows.
Every detail reflected timeless style. Richard looked dapper
in a smart suit with a crimson tie and matching rose boutonniere, while Kerrie
was elegant in a long-sleeved gown with a lace bodice and sweeping train. Kerrie’s
adult daughters wore burgundy wrap dresses as bridesmaids, and Richard’s adult
daughters stood proudly as groomsmaids in matching multiway gowns.
The ladies’ soft curled upstyles complemented the romantic
feel of the day. Kerrie’s granddaughter made a sweet flowergirl in soft pink,
while her grandsons were adorable ring bearers in little suits. The bridal
party arrived in style in a white stretch limousine.
Although the guest list was small, the emotion was immense.
With only their nearest and dearest present, every word and glance felt deeply
personal, creating a ceremony centred on love, family, and the joy of being
together.
Afterwards, the group headed across the road to Cleveland
Point Recreation Reserve for photos by the water. The bay views, foreshore, and
lighthouse precinct offered a stunning setting for relaxed family portraits and
elegant bridal images.
While photographs were underway, the Lighthouse staff transformed
the ceremony space into a dinner setting with tables, chairs, and an outdoor
heater.
The sweet details were beautifully planned too, with a
decadent red velvet top tier and vanilla cupcakes topped with fresh berries and
swirls of frosting.
Richard and Kerrie’s winter microwedding was a lovely
reminder that weddings do not need to be grand in size to feel extraordinary.
With the bay sparkling behind them and treasured moments shared with children
and grandchildren, their day was intimate, elegant, and timelessly romantic.
