I love weddings, but not always for the obvious reasons. Weddings are a day that brings everyone together for one reason - LOVE!
It brings everyone together for all the right reasons and not only do the couple get to enjoy the moment of celebrating their love, but so do their nearest and dearest.
I love little moments like this that are pure happiness and put a smile on my face every time I look at these photos 💕 Weddings are all about the micro moments, the special moments you remember for a lifetime…

I love making dreams come true!

Thank you for your beautiful review Alesha Lynam…

"What a day and it was all because of Kathy and the wedding planning co. My day was everything I ever imagined and more - was spectacular. Kathy is a wealthy of knowledge and helped me choose what was important and what I could do without and I couldn’t be more thankful as it meant that I got the day that I wanted and invested in areas that were most important to me. She is so detailed orientated, nothing was missed or overlooked.

Kathy was also the MC at my wedding and what an MC. She bought everyone together, ensured it went off without a hitch and made the party incredible. She can really bring the party to life and it was perfect.

Also, can I just say I didn’t have one stressful moment, worry or concern the whole day. I got to sit back and enjoy the day - Kathy took care of it all. Wow!

Thank you so very much Kathy, you are amazing and I couldn’t recommend you more." - Alesha Lynam

Customer Love ~ We love hearing from our clients and being able to help and provide guidance. We know and understand planning a wedding is difficult, no matter how big or small, and as the day nears closer it can become more and more stressful. Our wedding advisor session is perfect for our DIY brides who may have questions about budget, suppliers, timings and general do’s and don’ts for a wedding - basically any wedding question you have we can provide our advice. Alesha today called us and was getting concerned about the run sheet ordering for the day, seating arrangements, food supply and general questions about what we would recommend. The wedding advisor session was exactly what she needed, we provided our professional advice and set her mind at ease. We are so glad we could help her today and make planning a wedding that little bit easier… and more importantly glad she can sleep again and not be as stressed.

If you are interested in an advisor session send us a message and organise one ~ we love hearing from brides and helping where we can.

Picking the perfect wedding flowers can be an exciting yet tricky task 🌿 Here are some steps to help you pick the blooms for your big day:

🏷 Determine your budget: Before you start looking at flower inspo and start falling in love with different flowers, and arrangements, it's important to establish how much you can afford to spend on this aspect of your wedding. This will help you narrow down your options to avoid overspending.

😍 Consider your wedding style: Think about the overall look and feel you want to create for your wedding. Are you going for a classic, romantic vibe, or something more modern and minimalist? Your florals should complement your personal aesthetic and wedding style.

🎨 Choose your color palette: Your wedding flowers should be cohesive with your wedding color scheme. Think about the colors that will be used in your bridesmaid dresses, your reception centerpieces, and other décor elements.

🥰 Pick a florist: A professional florist can help you bring your vision to life and suggest the best flowers for your wedding based on your preferences, budget, and wedding style. Look for a florist with experience in wedding design and ask to see their portfolio to get an idea of their style. Checkout Blooms of Noosa 🙌🏽

👌🏽Be flexible: Depending on the season and availability, your first choice of flowers may not be possible. Be open to suggestions from your florist and consider alternative blooms that can achieve a similar look and feel.

By following these tips 😇 you'll be able to choose the perfe
