Micro Wedding at Brisbane Botanic Gardens, Mount Coot-tha

  • Posted By cheryl
  • on June 10,2023

After making the decision that they were in it for life, Mandy and Adam pictured a simple but elegant wedding with just their closest family present.

Mandy and her lifelong bestie, Maddi, prepped for the ceremony together, before arriving at the ceremony location in a sleek, black car. Mandy wore a beautiful white lace dress from @White Lily Couture, and Maddi wore a slinky midnight blue slip dress. Both had waves in their hair. Mandy takes care of her beautiful fair skin and looked luminescent  – a timely reminder of the importance of sun protection (I’m vowing to put this into practice more often now!)

Mandy and Maddi walked into the ceremony to “Across the Stars” by John Williams – a nod to Mandy and Adam’s shared passion of all things Stars Wars.

Deb from Miss Weddings had set up a white circular arbour with blue florals and white Americana chairs in the ceremony space at the Palm Tree Lawn at Brisbane Botanic Gardens, Mount Coot-tha.

Adam was looking super dapper in a crisp navy suit with a white shirt and a navy tie. His hair and beard were freshly trimmed, and he smiled as he caught sight of Mandy walking down the aisle towards him.

I loved working with this quirky couple to create a ceremony which reflected their personalities. We included a quote from Lord of the Rings, a reference to building Lego models together, a mention of the couple’s haughty  cat, Salem, and goals of coffee drinking on the balcony together.

It wouldn’t be a Mandy moment without a Taylor Swift song, so Adam’s first concession to his new wife was walking back down the aisle to “Paper Rings” by Taylor Swift.

After their intimate ceremony, the couple and their guests enjoyed cupcakes to reenergise during a photo shoot around the gardens.

Ceremony Venue: Palm Tree Lawn at Botanic Gardens Mount Coot-tha

Coordination: Elope Brisbane

Celebrant: Cheryl Landsberry

Photographer: Romana Saeheng

Flowers: Little Miss Flower Shoppe

Cupcakes: Cakes by Simone

Teneill and James wanted to be married, but they didn’t want all the drama that can accompany a big wedding, so they asked the Team at Elope Brisbane to create a relaxed micro wedding with just their immediate families. Following their intimate ceremony at Rainforest Gardens, Mount Cotton, the combined family celebrated with dinner at a local restaurant.

Teneill walked into the gardens on the arm of her dad, accompanied by the song, “All of me” by John Legend – the Lindsey Sterling string version.

Celebrant Cheryl Landsberry told the couple’s cute story of meeting as teens working at Bunnings. Their family grew with the addition of their furbaby, Beau. Together, Teneill and James enjoy a road trip, with James driving and Teneill in charge of tunes and snacks. They are looking forward to living each day together with maximum happiness and laughter.

Rainforest Gardens has so many lush photo locations – photographer Romana Saeheng captured newlywed photos around the property.

The brief for Tayla and Michael’s intimate micro wedding was for a casual, relaxed, simple and genuine ceremony with a family focus. They didn’t want fuss and drama, just a pure and quiet ceremony surrounded by their loved ones.

They asked the team at Elope Brisbane to coordinate the ceremony, then booked a restaurant for a celebration dinner, with a party with friends to follow.

Mel and Deb from Miss Weddings set up a leafy circular arbour in the tranquil bushland, and the family watched on as Tayla and Michael exchanged their sweet promises to each other.

Celebrant Cheryl Landsberry ensured all the legals were taken care of, and photographer Romana Saeheng captured the moment on film. A videographer was also on hand to create a mini movie to surprise their friends with at the celebration party.

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.
