INSPIRATION... Where did you get most of your wedding inspiration and ideas from? Pinterest was amazing for ideas I would often see little things I liked and screen shot them. I made a separate photo album on my phone so I didn’t forget and would often refer back to these. The Mid North Coast Weddings magazine was also the first and only bridal magazine I bought and I loved that it was specific to the region I wanted to get married!
The chef at Sporties Tuncurry also came up with a delicious menu that everyone loved. We couldn’t dance so we didn’t have a dj, instead we played trivia after dinner and I had my niece perform two dance routines!
THE FLOWERS... We chose Gingermegs Styling Flowers Hire because I found them online and absolutely fell in love with her flower arrangements. I knew I wanted fresh flower bouquets and I loved her floral creations. Megan was amazing to THE CEREMONY... We chose the Green Cathedral because deal with and we arranged everything of its beautiful setting and it being a via email which was perfect since it’s a place we both agreed on. We both love four hour trip from home to the coast so holidaying in Forster and when we first I couldn’t always just pop in to see my visited the Cathedral together it just felt vendors. like the right place for us. What was the inspiration behind your The best part about the ceremony flowers? I knew that I wanted a more location was how beautiful it is. It is the open style bouquet and that I wanted to perfect backdrop with the lake behind include sea holly as it is quite a similar you and then surrounded by the beautiful colour to the colour I chose for my palms, so many gorgeous photo bridesmaids dresses. I then googled opportunities. some ideas and just left it up to Megan to come up with a design and I absolutely loved what she came up with. THE RECEPTION... We chose the Cape Hawke Surf Club Any advice you would like to share originally because of the location regarding your flowers? overlooking One Mile Beach and I had If going with fresh flowers have some planned to do a lot of the decorating / vases for them ready at the reception to styling myself. Covid threw us a few keep them fresh! hurdles like I’m sure it did many in 2020 Also have a plan for them afterwards so but we really wanted to get married so they don’t go to waste and like giving we made it work. We ended up having them to someone to take them home. I our reception at the Sporties Tuncurry also wanted to have a keepsake of my and they couldn’t have been more flowers for years to come so the day accommodating! after my wedding I packaged up the The best part about the reception venue flowers from my bouquet and sent them was although it wasn’t our first choice, off to Blooming keepsakes in Cairns they did everything possible to make our where they are currently being day great and give us the beach vibe we preserved and turned into glass orbs wanted. They set everything up for us which ill be able to keep forever. that I originally planned to and transformed the room. They also were MAKEUP & HAIR... happy to work with White Palms I chose Dallas from Saabi collective for Weddings & Events to switch out the my hairs because not only is she my chairs so we could still have the gorgeous normal hair dresser, she is very talented tiffany chairs. and she is also my friend and was
coming to the wedding anyway so it was an obvious choice. I chose Karina Hair and Makeup for my make up as she is from the Mid North Coast and absolutely loved my trial with her. I think it is important to have people you are comfortable with and you like their work as you do spend a lot of the morning of your wedding getting ready and you obviously want to look your best. Anything else you would like to share? Whatever happens, just go with it. Covid through many hurdles at my big day (number restrictions, no dancing etc) but it still turned out magical and we had such a great time. Remember to relax and enjoy the day you spent all the time planning it and when its finally here just remember to slow down and enjoy it. Also its very possible to plan a location wedding without too much stress. I found vendors were happy to communicate via phone and email and it went just as smoothly as if it had of been in person.
