Sunshine Coast Vintage-Themed Wedding

Kerry and Ric were married in a sweet Catholic Church in Pomona on the Sunshine Coast and held their reception at the stunning Balinese-style Palmyra estate and private resort in Tinbeerwah, Queensland. The wedding was themed around the gorgeous Alice Temperley gown that Kerry wore with touches of baroque and a relaxed vintage style.

Gown: Alice Temperley (bought in London).

Suit: Soho Workshop menswear, Melbourne.
Wedding Party: Two bridesmaids wore navy blue dresses from Florence, Italy. Two groomsmen wore Soho Workshop grey-blue suits.
Accessories: Vintage Parisian clutch from great-grandmother with hanky from grandmother inside, flowers in hair.
Flowers: Tuberose bouquet and displays at reception.
Ceremony: St Patricks Catholic Church in Pomona. Followed with individual mini bottles of champagne for guests.
Wedding Caterers: First Class Functions in Noosa, QLD.
Reception: Palmyra estate in Tinbeerwah, Sunshine Coast hinterland. Sangrias and finger food, Aussie wines with gourmet BBQ, Magnum icecreams and shots.
Music: Leah Rush band, Brisbane, QLD.
Decoration: Balinese-style tea light candle-holders with baroque placemats on tall white stands.Chinese lanterns and flame lanterns around infinity pool.
Cake: Italian cake made by chef friend Simone covered in violet sugar leaves with persimmon and berries.
Budget Tip: Don’t worry about wedding cars. No one sees them. We hired a bus instead to help get people to and from the wedding venue and the reception and back to Noosa.
Eco-Friendly Tip: Hire a bus, it saves people driving and makes for a good party en route!
I wish: … we could do it all again and that Ric’s dad could join us.
Something Special: The wedding party all stayed with the bride and groom at Palmyra for a week. Pre and post wedding functions in and around Noosa. As we gave people almost a year’s notice, lots of our friends made a holiday of it and stayed in the region for a whole week. Made for lots of quality catch up time for all.
