Mid-week wedding on Straddie

Mid week wedding on Straddie

After being together for 15 years, this couple decided to marry on the beach. Being mid week, they had the beach to themselves. The couple chose a 10am ceremony time, which allowed for a few photos afterwards, followed by a lunch at the Straddie Pub.

Micro Wedding at New Farm Park Rotunda

 

A wedding isn’t about the flowers, although the florals at this wedding were gorgeous. A wedding isn’t about the outfits, although this couple were cool and casual in crisp white linen. A wedding is about the atmosphere that a group of people create. G and T have learnt what’s important to them, and this was represented in the beautiful words they spoke to one another, and the adoring way they revere each other and everyone around them.

Brisbane baby naming ceremony

Brisbane Baby Naming Ceremony

Halle’s baby naming was a beautiful way to catch up with her parents, who I married in 2022.

The baby naming ceremony coincided with Halle’s first birthday celebration and was held at the couple’s home.

The family went to lots of effort, putting together a pink balloon arch for the ceremony.

They chose a song by Tim McGraw called, “My little girl”.

Three Godparents were appointed for Halle, and I presented them with certificates to remind them of their lifelong bond with Halle.

Micro Wedding at Drevesen Park, Manly

Micro Wedding at Drevesen Park, Manly

My second wedding for the year was a very sweet micro wedding for a second time around couple. With just their adult children and a couple of close friends attending, the ceremony was held at Drevesen Park Rotunda at Manly.

This couple has such an adorable Meet-Cute. The groom spotted a gorgeous lady in his favourite coffee spot, and asked the barista about her. He paid in advance for her next coffee. In an “only could happen in the movies” moment, they met up, found there was a spark between them, and fell madly in love.

My first wedding for the year was at Cylinder Beach on North Stradbroke Island (Minjerribah) for Elope Stradbroke.

The couple chose the Sun Salutations package, which included this sunrise arbour from Miss Weddings.

With just their parents and children in attendance, the couple made it official in a very simple and relaxed ceremony.

Micro Wedding at Mount Coot-tha

Micro Wedding at Mount Coot-tha

Hazel and Zac added some personal touches to their micro wedding amongst the trees at J.C. Slaughter Falls at Mount Coot-tha. To carry their pooches, dressed cutely in tutus, they decorated a cart and filled it with bubble blowing machines. This was pulled along by Hazel’s sweet little sister, also dressed as a ballerina flower girl. Crafty Hazel also made both her own bouquet and Zac’s boutonniere. They chose pale green and purple as their colours, and chose flowers to match on the triangular shaped arbour from Miss Weddings.

Hazel chose to walk down the aisle with both her grandfather and her great-grandfather, which was just adorable. She chose the song, “All of Me” by John Legend. She wore a high low dress. Groom Zac wore a cream coloured suit. The guests all wore colours complementing the purple and light green theme.

To top it off, Hazel’s grandmother baked a cake with a surprise gift inside – a pewter marriage certificate holder!

Morning wedding at Lagoon View Nursery, Redland Bay

Morning wedding at Lagoon View Nursery, Redland Bay

Rebecca and Craig opted for a short and sweet morning ceremony with a super relaxed vibe for their November wedding.

Craig wore a gamer’s shirt, patterned with gaming controllers, and an ice blue bow tie, teamed with chinos and Vans. This reflected their quirky personalities and their shared interests. Rebecca was unconventionally bridal with a two piece outfit, matching a white sleeveless lace top with a mauve tulle skirt.

Rebecca wrote in her vows that she had found gravity with Craig.

Craig described their love story as a “choose your own adventure” book.

The couple chose songs from their favourite video games for the ceremony. For the processional, Rebecca walked in to “Garfront Mercenaries” from Xenoblade Chronicles 2. The signing music was Zelda’s Lullaby, and the recessional music was “Still Alive” from Portal.

Their wedding was simple and genuine, perfectly reflecting their life together.

Thank you to Craig for leaving this 5 star review:

“Cheryl made our special day perfect. From the moment we had our first meeting she was so supportive, thorough and gave us a wedding information kit to make planning everything related to the ceremony easy. She was great with following up leading up to our special day and ensured she had everything she needed to cater the ceremony to our needs. I would highly recommend Cheryl to anyone looking for a celebrant for their wedding.”

Micro Wedding at Sherwood Arboretum

Ceremony #71 2023

Micro Wedding at Sherwood Arboretum

Elasma and Cameron met at a speed dating event. Cam managed to insult El in the short space allotted to them to chat, however, he was able to turn it around in the break time, and the pair soon clicked. Some time later, as they dined at a restaurant, a fellow diner mentioned to El that she could see that Cam was totally in love with her just from the look on his face.

The couple contacted the team at Elope Brisbane to plan their micro wedding. They invited only immediate family members and chose the tranquil gardens at Sherwood Arboretum for their ceremony. They chose blues and purples for their colours.

El walked into the ceremony on the arm of her son to “Tennessee Whisky” by Chris Stapleton. She wore a slim fitting white pants suit which was absolutely stunning and showed off El’s commitment to fitness. El later told us that this was her Plan B outfit when she didn’t love her original online purchase. Cam was casual in a light blue t shirt and quirky blue suede shoes.

El and Cam wrote their own vows, which, like them, were a little quirky. El said, “ I can’t wait to find out what we will be when we grow up,” along with a couple of maths jokes. And Cam thanked El for her patience with his left of centre sense of humour.

The ceremony started to light raindrops falling, and luckily the Elope Brisbane team had clear plastic umbrellas handy for the couple and their guests. By the team the certificates were signed, rain was tumbling heavier, and we were thankful for the nearby gazebo for the post ceremony photo shoot.

They emailed, “Thank you for making this milestone of our lives really special and intimate. Our families felt included and are very grateful for that. We feel lucky you are the one who married us. Thank you.”

This was our last wedding for 2023, and was such a beautiful, intimate, and genuine memory. Each of our elopements has been unique and special, and really shows how 2023 couples had the assurance to make their day their own idea of perfection.

Pop Up Wedding at a Thornlands backyard

Pop Up Wedding at a Thornlands backyard

Sharlene and Adam decided to marry in the backyard of their parent’s home and entrusted the team at Pop Up Weddings Bayside to coordinate the wedding day of their dreams. Being December, the couple decided to hold their ceremony later on a Saturday afternoon to avoid the heat of the day.

Miss Weddings set up a circular arbour with foliage and flowers of orange, pink, and cream, which matched with the flowers in Sharlene’s bouquet and Adam’s bouttoniere, and the flowers atop the wedding cake. Maid of Honour, Robyn, wore a coral dress, which tied the colour palette together.

Sharlene wore a beautiful A Line lace off the shoulder dress with a mocha underlay. She wore a veil attached to her curled hair, with a pretty side hair clip, and coordinated her jewellery with a bracelet, drop necklace and earrings. Groom Adam wore a cream coloured suit, with a white shirt, black bow tie and black pocket square.

As the shade slipped onto the lawn area, guests took their seats, glad of the breeze from the bay. Adam walked down the aisle with his best man Nathan and his parents, to an instrumental version of Thinking out Loud. Then the guests held their breath as beautiful bride, Sharlene walked down the aisle, preceded by her Maid of Honour, and accompanied by both her mother and father, to an instrumental version of "Can you Feel the Love Tonight" from the Lion King.

After a short and sweet ceremony officiated by Cheryl Landsberry, the couple signed their marriage certificates and walked back down the aisle , hand in hand, to “Come and Get your Love” by Redbone, as their guests blew celebratory bubbles.

After some photos around the tended gardens with photographer Romana Saeheng, the wedding party and their guests enjoyed a catered outdoor reception on the back deck under the starry skies.

Sharlene and Adam are still on a high with such glowing memories of their wedding day. They wrote,” Thank you for all your efforts to make it a great wedding. Our family and friends told us lots of positive words about you and the ceremony.”

Wedding at Redland Bay Golf Club

Relaxed wedding at Redland Bay Golf Club

Frank and Fharida found their true soul mate in each other. They decided on a simple and relaxed wedding ceremony at Redland Bay Golf Club, and chose the colour palette purple and green.

To begin the ceremony, Frank and his four groomsmen walked into the ceremony space to “Listen to the Music” by the Doobie Brothers. Following her bridesmaids, Fharida walked down the aisle to “For You” by John Denver. Music and song are both very important to Frank and Fharida, and they took some time to consider their ceremony music choices. For their signing song, they chose, “Here comes the sun,” by the Beatles. Their recessional song was “Happy Together” by The Turtles. Included within the ceremony were some lyrics which the couple created for their musical duo, Fhareedom. https://www.youtube.com/@fhareedom1799

“Everyday seems so magical

When I spend it all with you

There could never be another moment

Than right now here with you.”

Frank and Fharida are both passionate about a healthy lifestyle. They enjoy preparing delicious and nutritious low carb meals at home, and even have their own YouTube following. They chose healthy options for their wedding meals, and splashed out on a little sugar for their wedding cake.

Thanks for contributing a five star review! “Cheryl is very accommodating when we asked her availability to be our marriage Celebrant. Frank and I were so delighted to the outcome of the wedding ceremony. I highly recommend Cheryl.”
