10 Tips for a Beach Wedding

Beach weddings are enormously popular. Beaches at Sandgate, Scarborough and Redcliffe include parklands and gazebo for the use of the wedding party.

At my latest wedding, which ended with a Sand Blending Ceremony, it looked very much as we might need shelter from possible rain. We were ready one way or the other, but in the end we had a perfect day.

Here are some planning hints for a beach wedding. 

1.  Take a walk on the time of day, and the day of the week which you favour for your wedding day to see just how popular the beach is. 

2.  If a dawn wedding appeals, check the weather forecast to ensure that your wedding day is the sunny day you expect it to be. 

3.  A beach wedding ceremony can be windy and very windy. Think about your wedding hairstyle and wedding dress when planning your beach wedding. 

4.  How about the tide? Do you know whether the tide will be in or out, and how it will affect the wedding site. 

5.  What about that wedding march? Will it be a rocky climb down to the beach or a walk in soft sand? Consider your wedding shoes, and that of your wedding attendants.

6.  When planning your beach wedding, think of your wedding guests. Can they walk barefoot? Perhaps part of your wedding planning can be a basket where they can leave their footwear. 

7.  Is there any protection from the sun? Warn your wedding guests to bring umbrellas and bring along a supply of bottled water and sun screen.

8.  Theme your wedding ceremony by including wedding rituals such as sand blending, pebble wedding wishes,  

9.  Decorate the beach wedding site by outlining with sea shells, coloured stones, flower petals, protected candles.

10. And always have another venue in mind just in case.

10 Tips Planning a Public Garden Wedding


    
Some of the most popular Weddings performed take place in the many beautiful public gardens such as the Brisbane City Botanical Gardens. Take a walk though this extensive park bordered by the Parliament House on one side and the Brisbane River's northern banks on the other, with extensive gardens, ponds, and bird-filled trees. Before deciding on your wedding ceremony sites …

1.      Check out the nooks and crannies as well as those areas specifically designated as wedding lawns.

2.      Walk through the gardens to see the kind of setting you can have for your wedding ceremony. Gardens in bloom, ponds, waterfalls.

3.      Consider how much privacy you want and will get for your wedding ceremony in that particular area.

4.      Is there much noise from passing traffic, or water features, which might make your wedding ceremony difficult to hear.

5.      If finding the Wedding site is complex include a map with your wedding invitations and mark the area with ribbons or balloons – if allowed.

6.      Let your guests know whether the walk to the wedding site is flat or rocky, dry or muddy, so they can dress accordingly.

7.      See if there's any undercover area for you to have your wedding ceremony in case of rain.

8.      Find out if you need to book the area, and who to get in touch with to do so.

9.      Find out what conditions apply.

Wedding at North Lakes Golf Club


A Club may have many facilities to make a great venue for a Wedding Ceremony and a wedding reception to follow.  When checking out a club for your wedding consider the following:
  • Will the wedding ceremony take place in one room, and the reception in another.
  • Has the club a special outdoor setting in which the wedding ceremony can take place, together with wedding photographs.
  • Has the outdoor ceremony site any shade for the convenience of guests during a hot summer wedding day. 
  • Similarly, if the area is not undercover, what is the backup plan if it rains on the wedding day.
  • See if you can get to see the wedding site when the staff is setting up for another wedding.
In the case of North Lakes Golf Club, an archway and chairs were set out in the grounds where the ceremony took place, and was followed by a reception indoors. 
Just as we were to sign the Register, we were interrupted by a short shower. We raced under cover, bringing our table and chairs and finished the signing sheltered from the rain.

What's an Intimate Wedding?

What makes a wedding special?

It’s all in the details, some say.

1. The style of your wedding invitations.

2. The setting of your wedding site.

3. The wedding theme.

4. The special people in your wedding party.

5. The wedding guests who’ve come from everywhere to be at the wedding celebration.

6. The wedding decorations.

7. The wedding bouquet.

8. The personalised wedding vows.

9. The unique wedding rings.

and many, many more.

Yet this particular wedding, taking place at my home, was special for one reason only, that the couple were at last able to say ‘I do’. Not in front of hundreds of excited wedding guests, but in front of two witnesses and the celebrant.

WEDDING AT WOODY POINT

Perhaps you could call this an elopement wedding. The only people present were those closest to the hearts of Hayley and Glenn; their three children and two friends. 

The weather was at its best as Hayley and Glenn promised 'to love and to cherish' each other and offer their children a life of love and security.
