Mt Tamborine Mountain Weddings

Mountain Weddings On Australia’s Gold Coast The Gold Coast really is a beautiful place. Most people know it for its spectacular coastline, sun drenched beaches and world class surf. The Gold Coast ocean certainly is an ideal setting for a beach wedding with sun, sand, venues for the ceremony and reception and guest accommodation all closely tied together. The Gold Coast has an inner heart too though, known as the Gold Coast Hinterland. Mt Tamborine and the Lamington National park are famous destinations of our hinterland and they offer a spectacular mountain alternative for you to consider for your wedding. The views from the peaks are breathtaking, offering mountain ranges and countryside which run all the way to the coastline. From less lofty heights there are hidden valleys and gullies hiding spectacular waterfalls, crystal clear waterholes, beautiful flora and fauna all easily accessible by walking tracks. Surrounded by such amazing natural wonder, your wedding photos will be breathtaking. Your guests also will enjoy the crisp mountain air, every day of the year. During the colder months, the winter fog rolling in will delight them as they warm themselves around an open log fire. In summer they will welcome the cooler air, a relief from the tropical Queensland heat experienced on the coast and in Brisbane. Reception venues are many and varied from the small and intimate, to the large and grand. From winery settings, to churches, estates and wonderful country homesteads. There is an option available for every style of wedding. Given the amazing setting of the Mt Tamborine National Park though, you and your guests will probably want to stay a night or more and take the opportunity to enjoy the wonderful mountain hospitality on offer. If so, your accommodation options also require choice. If you want something small and cozy, one of the mountain villas could be an option, a perfectly luxurious option for the bride and groom. If pampering is on the cards. Try one of the relaxing retreats. This could be a great choice for the bride on the eve of her wedding. There are hotels and motels for groups of guests, homesteads and wineries all offering accommodation for people looking for something specific. Mt Tamborine really is a wonderful venue for a wedding. Have a look at what it offers, you won’t be disappointed.

…Of course, there is also the anticipation in being able to celebrate the wedding of your dreams. Every couple wants to celebrate the first day of their togetherness in the best way possible.

This is why the couple must go all the way in bringing about the most perfect celebration on the day of their wedding by picking the perfect theme.

The Beach Wedding Theme

Having a beach wedding is one of the coolest ways to celebrate the special day of the couple when they are finally united as one to spend the rest of their lives together. The beach wedding provides the marrying couple with utmost freedom in their creativity.

For one, the beach can set the perfect setting in this solemn ceremony. The beauty of nature itself is perfect already to give a wonderful background.

The beach can also give you and your guests the feeling of romance and serenity, thereby making your wedding celebration a solemn and loving touch.

Beach Wedding Ideas

Here are some ideas that you can consider to come up with a perfect Beach Wedding Ceremony.

1. Pick the most perfect time of the day that will make you happy. It is best to choose between sunrise and sunset. The sunset can give the most romantic mood while sunrise can provide the most anticipating atmosphere.

Each of these choices will also give the most spectacular backdrop for your wedding pictures and videos. Just imagine a romantic ceremony with the attractive colors of the sun in the background.

2. If you feel like having a fun wedding, the beach will also be a good place to execute the plan. You can come up with a nice beach party that will be able to allow your guests to participate in activities.

Most brides dream of being brought to her groom in a horse-drawn carriage. Some even envision themselves in horseback with their loved one. A beach wedding will allow you to execute these plans.

You can also have programs during your wedding day where people can just feel laid back and unpretentious in the environment that you cannot achieve in hotel wedding receptions.

3. Your beach wedding can be added with other themes that will definitely delight the heart of the marrying couple.

Most of the adventurous ones have ventured on coming up with a pirate wedding. You can have costumes and decorations rented to give the perfect finish to your plan.

The guests can also be given a chance to enjoy some activities like a treasure hunt. After the celebration, sailing off to the waters will definitely give the romantic finale.

4. The beach wedding can also be done during the nighttime and let the couple enjoy a beach party with their closest pals and relatives. This is especially delightful for young couples.

You can celebrate the wedding as you move under the stars and hear the waves of the beach in your ears.

5. You can also have the most intimate and solemn ceremony in the beach. The bride and groom can walk barefoot in the sand and enjoy the simplicity of nature and the company of the closest friends.

6. You can also enjoy so much freedom when it comes to decorations. You can simply let the beach and nature become your own decoration.

At the same time, you also have the option to have fun. You can put up candles, torches, sandcastles and other details that will delight the heart.

7. This beach wedding theme will also give you a wide range of choices for your wedding favors. You can do it Hawaiian style by giving out luaus or some beautiful shells to your guests.

Conclusion

Celebrating with a beach wedding theme will definitely give you the freedom to enjoy your wedding day with the wonders that the beach and nature can provide.

I am having a beach themed wedding next summer…?

I am looking for ideas. We are making our own invitations (message in a bottle) and we are going to be doing our own centerpieces (sand/water/shells/floating candles). We decided that since we are doing a theme, we wouldn’t necessarily stick with a color theme but want to incorporate ocean colors – blues, greens and tan/beige neutrals. What flowers for bouquets would you suggest? What about favors? What other decorations would work? I just don’t know where to start!!

I like the ideas shown on this color palette. Check out the green bouquet.

And here is a cake, using those same colors.

As for where to start, you start at the Knot.

Use their wedding checklist and budget calculator, on the left under “planning tools.”

You may not want or need everything mentioned at the Knot, but it is a good place to start.

Oh, and I love steel drum music for beach weddings. See here:
