When it comes to choosing your wedding color palette, it's all about creating a vibe that feels uniquely ‘you’. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Whether you're dreaming of soft, natural tones or bold, statement hues, your color choices set the mood for your big day. Here are a few things to consider:

✨Venue & Setting: What colors complement your location and natural surroundings? Indoor vs outdoor can make a big difference!

✨Season: Think about shades that reflect the time of year – lighter hues for spring, deeper tones for autumn.

✨Eco-friendly Materials: Choose sustainably sourced fabrics and decor that reflect your color vision while caring for the planet.

✨Your Style: Your palette should represent your personality. Whether it's timeless elegance or playful chic, make it personal!

As you plan, remember that less is more – focus on quality, sustainability, and creating a luxurious yet eco-conscious celebration.

When most couples hear the word “wedding” they also hear “cha-ching!” To help you on your planning journey to an eco-conscious wedding, here are some detailed tips to keep your special day green and budget-friendly:​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​1. -Choose a Sustainable Venue:
Look for outdoor locations like gardens, parks, or eco-friendly venues that prioritize renewable energy sources and sustainable practices.
2. Opt for Digital Invites:
Save trees & cut down on postage costs by sending digital invitations. Websites & e-cards can be just as beautiful & memorable.
3. Rent or Thrift Your Attire:
Consider renting your wedding dress and suits or shopping at thrift shops. Not only will you find unique pieces, but you'll also reduce waste.
4. Support Local Vendors:
Source flowers, food & decor from local businesses. This reduces the carbon footprint & supports the local economy.
5. Eco-Friendly Decor:
Use recycled, reusable, or biodegradable materials for your decor. Think potted plants instead of cut flowers, or hire out your decor.
6. Minimal Waste Catering:
Choose caterers that offer organic, local & seasonal menus.

Keep your celebration kind to the Earth and your wallet! Don’t forget that being eco- conscious doesn’t mean you have to downgrade your vision for your big day; eco-luxe is a thing too! More on that one later though!

It’s been a minute! I’ve been away from social media and my business for a little bit.

So why the hiatus you ask, well, let me fill you in!

As I launched On This Day Events, all the pieces in my work and family life were aligned and I was ready to take myself and my business to the next level, but there was this one nagging little piece of the puzzle that I couldn’t quite find.

After chatting to my hubby, we quickly realised that while we loved every aspect of the family and life we were building we felt incomplete- something or rather ‘someone’ was missing and not too long after I launched my business, without even realising it, that little someone manifested!

We were thrilled to be expecting our second bubby but I knew what that meant for me.

Having been through a rough time the first time round , I was gearing myself up for another bumpy ride and bumpy it was! A whole season of bumpy and then some. Something had to give for little bit and sadly,but not regretfully, that was my business. That in a nutshell, is the reason for my disappearing act!

Now that we’re on the other end of said season and our little family is complete and thriving, I’m happy and ready to get back to other part of me and my new era! An era of expanse and growth,of creation and learning and all to better serve you!

I’m so ready to get back to this part of my life and I’m thrilled to say officially… I’m back and now taking bookings into 2025 and beyond!

If there’s anyway that I can help you plan your perfect day, business or milestone event, please reach out and let’s chat! Let’s get planning!

Planning a wedding can be hard work. There's a lot of decisions to make and lots to consider. Often these decisions need to be made quite quickly due to the availability of suppliers who are often booked out months or even years in advance. It's time-consuming, complicated, and costly.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Imagine this – you spend months planning the perfect wedding with all the necessary arrangements, only to be devastated at the last moment when you realise that a particular supplier you booked is unable to fulfill their services for whatever reason. Nothing but disappointment, right?
​​​​​​​​
We can help avoid issues like these by working with select suppliers we know to be reliable, trust- worthy and all round epic humans.

Stay tuned because our supplier directory is coming soon! A handy guide to all things weddings in Brisbane, the Sunshine Coast and the Gold Coast!

Are you looking into having a Sustainable Wedding?​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
The venue you choose for your wedding is an important decision because it will not only set the tone for your whole day, but will be where a good chunk of your budget is spent. Add in the fact that you're trying to make sustainable choices, it makes sense to invest the majority of your budget on a venue that keeps to your sustainability values. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
As you'll be spending the majority of your day at the venue celebrating, the environmental impact can be significant so here are few questions to ask your prospective venue to see if they align with your values & goals for your special day:​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
- What is your stance on single-use plastics? ​​​​​​​​
- What are your food waste & recycling policies?​​​​​​​​
- Can we host our ceremony & reception at the venue?​​​​​​​​
- Can you tailor a seasonal menu for us?​​​​​​​​
- Do you support any environmental initiatives?​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Hope this helps you in making the decision to potentially have a more sustainable wedding! ​​​​​​​​

Well, hello there!​​​​​​​​
I thought I’d take this opportunity to introduce myself and welcome you to my little corner of the “ ‘gram”. ​​​​​​​​
I’m Alda, Lead Planner, Stylist and Founder of On This Day. ​​​​​​​​
I believe every couple deserves a wedding that is beautiful (and meaningful) for them whilst being as light as possible on the planet. I love our planet and try my best to do right by her in all areas of my life.​​​​​​​​
Here’s a few fun facts about me: ​​​​​​​​
I’m Zimbabwean born and raised and am Portuguese by heritage. I have called Australia home for 16 years now and love this gorgeous place.​​​​​​​​
My Hubby is Peruvian-Australian so between us, we speak a few languages. ​​​​​​​​
I adore mindful travel and soaking up new cultures and landscapes. ​​​​​​​​
I’m a huge supporter of the performing arts and used to perform and teach speech and drama in a former life. ​​​​​​​​
Most random fact about me? I’m a massive comic book fan and Superman is my guy.​​​​​​​​
That’s me in a nutshell! Thank you for following along and I look forward to getting to know you! ​​​​​​​​
