Autumn Wedding at Cleveland Point

Autumn in Brisbane is a magical time of year, especially at Cleveland Point. The sun was shining, casting a warm glow across the park, and a gentle breeze sailed through the trees, providing perfect shade for an afternoon wedding. The setting was stunning, right by the sparkling bay, with a bamboo arbour dressed elegantly in white draping and florals, creating an enchanting focal point for the ceremony. At the centre, a round jute mat marked the spot where vows would be exchanged.

Rows of crisp white Americana chairs lined the aisle, awaiting guests who arrived early, buzzing with anticipation. On the front seat, a framed photo served as a heartfelt tribute to the bride’s late father, ensuring his presence was felt.

The ceremony began with flower girl Isabelle, shyly tossing petals in her pretty white dress. Next was bridesmaid Merlin, striking in emerald green, her dress shimmering softly in the sunlight. Then, with a beaming smile, Syalina made her entrance on the arm of her brother, Fiqra. He wore traditional Indonesian wedding attire, as did many of the guests—a beautiful nod to heritage and family. Syalina’s curled hair and flowing white veil completed her look, and her joy was evident for all to see.

Liam’s dad stood by his side as best man, a sign of the bond between the two. The wedding rings, carefully placed in a glass pyramid, were then passed to the parents of the bride and groom, who offered their blessings, making the exchange even more meaningful.

After the couple sealed their vows with a kiss, they walked out together to the classic tune “Forever” by Kiss, surrounded by cheers and laughter.

This autumn afternoon at Cleveland Point was a celebration of love, tradition, and family. With the sun shining, a gentle breeze, and every detail thoughtfully prepared, Syalina and Liam began their forever in the perfect setting.

After capturing photos with family and friends, the group celebrated with a reception dinner at the Lighthouse Restaurant over the road.

Wedding at The Lighthouse, Cleveland

 

Sasha and Josh chose to celebrate their wedding over the long weekend, making it easy for their friends and family travelling from interstate to join them for the occasion. Wanting a laid-back and informal atmosphere, they opted for a casual garden ceremony, selecting a picturesque spot right beside the iconic lighthouse at Cleveland Point.

The ceremony site was beautifully styled by the team at Beautiful Illusions, who set up a striking white, circular arbour adorned with autumn flowers in rich shades of burnt orange. As midday approached, the couple’s loved ones gathered around. Despite his best intentions to keep his emotions in check, Josh found himself wiping away tears as Sasha made her way down the aisle.

The ceremony itself struck a perfect balance between heartfelt and light-hearted. There was plenty of playful banter, and the guests found themselves alternating between laughter and tears as they witnessed Sasha and Josh exchange their vows.

After the ceremony, Andy from A Thousand Miles Photography organised everyone for a group photo, capturing the joy and excitement of the moment. The guests then made their way to The Lighthouse Restaurant for refreshing drinks, while Sasha and Josh took a moment for their newlywed photo session. Once the photos were complete, the couple joined their guests to relax and enjoy a lunchtime reception by the bay, sharing good food, wine, and company.

Wedding at Cleveland Point Lighthouse, Brisbane

Wedding at Cleveland Point The Lighthouse

With a newborn baby in the family, Annaliese and Tom didn’t have a lot of spare time to organise a wedding. They tasked the award winning team from Pop Up Weddings Bayside with organising their entire wedding for them.

Their wedding day dawned a beautiful winter day, with the sun shining and a light breeze. With careful planning, high tide coincided with the ceremony time, and Moreton Bay was sparkling.

Steve set up a white hexagonal arbour and added the floral arrangement of green foliage and white flowers. A jute mat was set out to mark the ceremony space. White Americana chairs were set up for the guests.

Our groom, Tom, arrived at Cleveland Point, carrying the couple’s baby daughter, who snuggled into his chest. Tom looked very dapper in a suit and tie. The guests started to arrive and greeted Tom with hugs and well wishes.

Bride, Annaliese, arrived at the destination in a pale lemon convertible car. She stepped out on the arm of her dad, Andy, and followed flowergirl Evelyn down the aisle to “The Good Ones” by Gabby Barrett. And I think everyone who has ever met Tom would agree that he is definitely one of the Good Ones.

Annaliese looked breathtaking with her hair curled, wearing a stretch lace dress with a veil. The couple gazed at each other adoringly as Annaliese stepped up to the arbour and took Tom’s hands and held on to them tight.

The couple both wrote lovely vows to each other, promising to stand by each other’s side through anything that life throws at them.

After the ceremony, the guests tossed dried flower petals up as the couple walked back down the aisle together, ecstatic to be finally married.

The couple enjoyed some photo time by the Lighthouse as their guests made their way over the road to the gorgeous Lighthouse Restaurant, which looks out over the bay.

Congratulations to Tom and Annaliese from all the team at Pop Up Weddings. We hope you continue to look at each other that way for ever and ever.
