Micro wedding at Mount Coot-tha

Lilac micro wedding at Mount Coot-tha

High school sweethearts Demi and Aaron slipped off for an intimate micro wedding in the Brisbane bushland, surrounded by just their immediate families.

When they first met in year 11, Aaron cleverly borrowed Demi’s phone in maths to “use the calculator function” and instead slipped his phone number into her contact list. They grew together as individuals and as a couple, and decided that they couldn’t imagine their lives without each other. 

Demi chose the colour lilac for her bridesmaids which is one of my favourite colours.

She walked down the aisle to “Beautiful in White” by Shane Filan.

The team at Elope Brisbane coordinated the event so that Demi and Aaron just had to find their outfits and wedding rings and turn up on the day. How is that for a stress free plan?

Stylist Mel from Miss Weddings provided the arbour with white draping and the flowers were from Redlands Florist.

Celebrant Cheryl Landsberry kept the ceremony relaxed and intimate.

Photographer Romana Saeheng captured some beautiful photos of the couple.

And Demi turned up in a super cool hotrod!

Micro Wedding at Newstead Park Rotunda

Jazzmin and Jason had been to a few weddings, and they knew what they DIDN’T want for their own wedding. They didn’t want fanfare, fuss, extravagance or drama.

The couple approached the team at Elope Brisbane and asked for a quiet, intimate, genuine and relaxed ceremony with just their immediate family.

They booked the rotunda at Newstead Park on the Brisbane River via the Brisbane City Council web site, so were assured of the use of this area.

Stylist Mel from Miss Weddings placed white Americana chairs in the gazebo and assembled a timber arch with white fabric draping. Michelle from Little Miss Flower Shoppe provided the florals for the arbour, Jazzmin’s bouquet, and Jason’s boutonniere.

No wedding is quite complete without one, so Cakes by Simoneprovided a small cake for the guests to enjoy after the lunchtime reception.

Celebrant Cheryl Landsberry – Marriage Celebrant led the couple through the legal vows and witnessed them sign the three marriage certificates.

After the ceremony, photographer Romana Saeheng Photography and Graphic Design snapped relaxed photos of the couple around Newstead Park and the Brisbane River.

Married on Straddie

Harmony and Dalton dreamt of a relaxed island wedding and contacted the team at Elope Brisbane to collate a team of wedding professionals for their day.

Harmony’s vision was to create a boho vibe, with sand/tan colours, bare feet, and proteas. They invited only their immediate families, who were thrilled with the chance to have a couple of days away together on beautiful Straddie.

Steve from Kandid Kombi transported Harmony to the beachfront. She looked gorgeous in a simple knit dress with a baby’s breath flower crown. Dalton was relaxed in a white shirt with navy shorts.

On Straddie, there’s no need for formalities – or shoes!

Harmony’s dad walked her down the path to the beach, and Harmony and Dalton asked their mums to be their witnesses, which was a poignant touch. Their 2 small boys presented the wedding rings.

The ceremony styling was by Mel from Miss Weddings, pics were snapped by Romana Saeheng Photography and Graphic Design, Dan Hodgson Freelance created a video story, celebrant Cheryl Landsberry – Marriage Celebrant made the legals all so simple, and Cakes by Simone baked a white chocolate and coconut mud cake.

What a chilled way to be married!

We love an excuse to get to Straddie for the day, so contact the team at Elope Brisbane to make your Straddie wedding happen.

Gothic Wedding

When is it OK to wear black at a wedding?

When it is Halloween.

Nicola had just about given up on online dating, but John caught her eye with his profile picture. He was on stage with his bass guitar, in a mid-air jump. And her heart skipped a little beat.

Soon they started chatting, and once he realised that Nicola could hold a conversation using Slipknot song names, John asked Nicola to meet him for coffee. He arrived to pick up Nicola from her home, a plan Nicola started second guessing after panicking that he could be an axe murderer. But she opened the door to a cute guy in Vans and a band T shirt, and Speed Dealer sunnies.

But, despite not having high expectations from an online date, Nicola and John ending up talking and laughing for six solid hours. They hardly noticed the time slip by, and both felt their instant connection.

The pair were soon inseparable, feeling like they had known each other for their whole lives. Their life was a rollercoaster of late night gigs, coffee runs, inappropriate jokes, and making each other laugh so hard they had tears running down their legs.

John said that he felt like he had found his best friend. And Nicola knew there was no one else she would rather spend time with.

Nicola and John knew they wanted to be together forever, but they also knew that a traditional white wedding was just not them. Which is why they contacted the team at Elope Brisbane .

Stylist Mel from Miss Weddings created an arbour with black draping. Celebrant Cheryl Landsberry worked with the couple to design a quiet and intimate ceremony respectful of the cemetery surrounds and found a black dress with Morticia sleeves from Dangerfield. Photographer Romana Saeheng Photography and Graphic Design filtered the photos to give a sombre vibe. Roses were placed on surrounding gravesites as a mark of respect.

John’s dad proudly escorted Nicola to the ceremony site to The Only Exception by Paramore. Nicola was striking in a black fitted dress with a black lace veil and a gold, Gothic crown which was actually made from cable ties! John was dashing with his hair combed down, wearing all black. Their two witnesses also dressed in top to toe black.

John promised, “I’ll always love you with all my heart -till death do us part.”

Nicola’s promise, “I will love you always and forever -I’m fatally yours” matched her tattoo.

This ceremony was one of the most heartfelt, sincere, and intimate ceremonies we have been involved with, and we will remember forever our time spent with John, Nicola, and their family.

Even with a combined 50 years experience in the Brisbane wedding industry, the team at Elope Brisbane had not discovered this quiet and peaceful location by Lake Samsonvale.

Jacinta and Ryan decided on a low-key and intimate wedding ceremony with just their immediate families.

Jacinta wore a gorgeous dress by Madi Lane. Her bouquet was hand made by a very clever friend.

Celebrant, Cheryl Landsberry ensured all the legals were taken care of, and photographer Romana Saeheng captured some beautiful moments as the clouds parted to allow a glimmer of golden sunshine to fall on the lake.

Styling was by Miss Weddings.

Samantha and Bradley had the best little wedding last weekend. They travelled to Brisbane from country NSW with just their immediate family and were married in a simple ceremony by the Brisbane River at Hamilton.

Celebrant Cheryl Landsberry shared the couple’s admiration for each other.

“Samantha: Brad says that you make him feel loved and truly happy with who he is.”

“Brad: Sam says that she looks forward to you returning home from work, and you light up her whole day by walking through the door.”

Awww!

Sam wore a slinky white dress, with hair and make up by An Eye for Style Wedding Hair and Make up.

Miss Weddings styled an arbour with Autumn colours, and the matching bouquet was supplied by Little Miss Flower Shop.

After the ceremony, photographer, Romana Saeheng captured some cute snaps of the couple against the fun backdrops of Eat Street.

The couple  hired a private container at Eat Street for their reception dinner.

What a fabulous concept! Modern, stress-free, and uniquely them.

Thanks to all the team at Elope Brisbane.

Rhett and Chitra wanted a simple and fuss-free wedding with just immediate family and booked the Wedding Lawn at City Botanic Gardens for their ceremony. They asked the team at Elope Brisbane to take care of all the details.

Mel and Deb from Miss Weddings set up bamboo chairs and draped the bamboo arbour with a white cloth.

Chitra walked down into the ceremony on the arm of Rhett’s step-father, Greg, to Christina Perri’s song, A Thousand Years. Rhett’s mum, Joy, had a tear in her eye when she saw the look on Rhett’s face as he watched his bride arrive.

Celebrant Cheryl Landsberry created a sweet ceremony for the couple, and they signed the certificates with Rhett’s sisters as witnesses.

Photographer Romana Saeheng captured all the magical moments of the ceremony, then took the couple around the Botanic Gardens for a photo shoot amongst the floral landscapes. This photo was amongst the snapdragons in the formal flower garden.

The family then headed off in search of some cool drinks and a long and relaxing lunch.

Micro wedding at Kangaroo Point

Criona and Michael had just one request for their micro wedding at Kangaroo Point – they wanted their pup, Fenton, to be included in the ceremony. This was no problem for the team at Elope Brisbane, who are always delighted to work with furbabies.

Stylist, Miss Weddings, created a circular arbour as the backdrop for the ceremony which was held by the Brisbane River on a glorious afternoon. Criona’s family, all still in Ireland, watched the ceremony via Zoom, and the couple can’t wait to jet back to Ireland as soon as they can to celebrate their wedding twice over.

Celebrant Cheryl told the story of the couple’s meeting at a beer garden at Southbank. Criona was chatty, and entertained Michael with tales of her life, her adventures, and her misadventures. Luckily, Michael was an eager listener, and the couple have been together ever since.

Photographer Romana snapped the couple with and without the star of the wedding, Fenton, and also took the opportunity to take photos of family and friends who had gathered to celebrate.

The celebrations then continued at a nearby waterfront restaurant, where the couple dined and danced until late into the evening.

Congratulations to you both!
