Tiffany + Jordan @ Froggys Beach, Coolangatta

Feb 14 2021

To say Tiffany and Jordan’s wedding was a celebration is an understatement! This wedding was a PARTY! Joined by guests from their “gym crew” they were ready to have fun from the start. Changing up tradition, the first glimpse the guests had of the bridal party was the Flower-MAN instead of a flower girl – a hilarious new trend we hope.

Tiffany wore a beautiful, fitted dress with stunning lace details on the arms and train. The pink Peony in her bouquet are extremely rare and only in season in October and November our amazing vendor Seven Blooms Casuarina always finding ways to add those extra special touches!

The ceremony was fun and light-hearted reflecting the couple beautifully. The vows were so moving even our seasons Celebrant was evening crying!

Despite the weather warnings we ended up having perfect weather all day (on a side note, don’t use the iPhone weather as it is inaccurate for our region, you are best to check out the BOM radar on your wedding day).

Lauri + Levi @ Bramblewood Farm, Tweed Hinterlands

Oct 22 2020

Locals to the Gold Coast area Lauri and Levi were looking for a simple Byron Bay elopement with just immediate family and their gorgeous little girl, Millie. The couple chose Signature Collection with styled ceremony package, and selected our newest property, Bramblewood on the Tweed Coast as the venue for their laidback wedding.

Located in the Tweed Valley this venue gives couples spectacular ocean views from Coolangatta all the way to Surfers Paradise! The rolling hills of this quintessential farm venue meant photography, done by yours truly, meant that we had quite the adventure getting photos and videography to capture the beautiful afternoon sun. Martin and I jumped in the back of Lauri and Levi’s car and we followed Bramblewood owner Daniel through cow paddocks and up to the top of the ridge for some epic sunset portraits.

Lauri and Levi’s first date was a picnic at Brunsweck Heads. Levi organised the date, but it turns out he didn’t really organise very much forgetting to bring a rug or any food or drinks. Instead getting fish and chips and sitting on the grass to eat. The images from their wedding pay homage to their first date. Sitting on a log in a grassy field imagining their lives together.

Congratulations Lauri and Levi!

Caitlin + Anthony @ Froggy’s Beach Coolangatta Gold Coast

Oct 22 2020

Having a ‘COVID wedding’ kept Caitlin and Anthony on their toes. Just a few days out from their wedding in Kingscliff, we had to change locations to Froggy’s Beach at Coolangatta to allow Mum to attend the special day. Unfortunately, the change of location didn’t mean that everyone could attend and Anthony’s brothers joined the ceremony via FaceTime. Even posing for the family group photos after the ceremony on the iPad!

Caitlin wore a Cinderella inspired blue dress with to-die-for blue velvet heels! Her flowers, by @sevenbloomscasuarina, created a dramatic contrast using bright blooms in pink, peach and purples. Celebrant Leisa from @ceremoniesbyleisa ensured everyone was properly sanitised during the signing of the official paperwork, using a nearby rock as the official signing table. Anthony looking pretty happy with his new wife giving everyone the two thumbs up after signing.

As the sunset, Caitlin and Anthony added a personal touch to their wedding day photos Anthony brought his fishing rod along to use in some of the portraits as an inside joke with Caitlin, as he is always ‘Gone Fishing’. Personal touches like these are a fun addition to more traditional wedding images, especially when you have a beautiful backdrop such as those found in Byron Bay and the southern Gold Coast.

Anita + Shane – Burleigh Heads, Gold Coast by Luxe Elopements

May 27 2019

We gathered at North Burleigh on the beachfront, a small collection of Anita’s and Shane’s family waited patiently. It doesn’t matter how many times we have an elopement by the oceans edge – there is just something so magical and romantic it, something that always brings rush of excitement and joy within.

The couple travelled all the way from New Zealand to elope on Australia’s pristine coastline, they told us they had always wanted to get married on the beach so they could not only have a beautiful ceremony but also a beautiful holiday with their family. (Too sweet!)

So we waited in the sand at North Burleigh as Anita made her way to us ever so gracefully, holding the most incredible bouquet of flower in a sweet Boehme style dress; she looked nothing short of a goddess. They held hands and their love was brighter than the sinking sun beside us.
The full moon rose over the ocean and hues of pink and purple exploded on the horizon, it was breath taking and completely magical. It was as if Mother Nature was congratulating the newlyweds too and giving them the most beautiful ceremony possible!

How did you meet?

We met through a mutual friend. Anita’s flatmate at the time was the physiotherapist for Shane’s rugby team. We met on a night out in Queenstown, and the following day Shane added Anita on Facebook. However, we didn’t actually start talking until a month later when we ran into each other again. We hit it off right from the start- Shane was in love after two weeks! 😉

When you laid eyes on each other, what were your initial thoughts? Shane: She’s a bit all right. (Quote:) “You are so beautiful and have such nice eyes, I can’t stop thinking about you.”

Anita: I had heard a bit about Shane through my flat mate and had seen pictures of him, but when I first saw him I thought he was so handsome. He was quiet and seemed a little shy but so easy to talk to. He has such amazing blue eyes- they are quite striking.

Tell me about your first date!! Who asked who and how did it go? Where was it? Our first date was at the Courthouse cafe in Alexandra. After messaging for a bit Anita ended up coming through Alex for a work training so stopped on the way to see Shane. He invited me out for lunch. It was great, nice and relaxed. The conversation flowed easily.

What made you chose your wedding venue/date/time?
We’ve always wanted to get married on the beach, this way we get to have a beautiful ceremony on the beach and also a holiday with our family, some of whom we haven’t seen in years.

How did the proposal go?
Shane proposed to me on the 25th June 2016. We drove to Christchurch to pick up the new addition to our family, Tyson, a golden retriever puppy. On the way home we stopped at Lake Pukaki, which is a beautiful lake that looks towards Mt Cook. As we were taking photos and letting Tyson walk around Shane dropped a knee. I cried, I felt so lucky to get to marry my best friend. A puppy and a ring in the same day- best day ever!

KIND WORDS
“Sarah-Jane and her team at Luxe Elopements are amazing at what they do. We live in NZ and eloped to the Gold Coast, and they made the whole process so straightforward and easy. Communication was great, emails were answered quickly, and they made our day so stress free. They organised everything for us so we could relax and enjoy our wedding day. We cannot thank you enough for making our dream day come true.”
