Your Essential Guide to a Dream Wedding on the Gold Coast

Planning a wedding on the Gold Coast is an adventure in itself, filled with possibilities. With Feather & Finch Photography by your side, dive into these practical, actionable tips to make your special day as enchanting as the setting itself.

Embrace the Natural Beauty:

  • Sunrise and Sunset Ceremonies: Consider timing your ceremony with the sunrise or sunset. The Gold Coast’s skies create a spectacular backdrop during these hours.

  • Natural Decor: Use the natural scenery to your advantage. Minimal decor might be needed with the ocean or hinterland as your backdrop.

Venue Selection Strategies:

  • Venue Visits: Schedule visits to various venues at the same time of day as your planned ceremony to get a real feel for the light and ambiance.

  • Weather Contingencies: Always have a plan B, especially for beachfront venues. The beauty of the Gold Coast is matched by its unpredictability.

Photography Tips:

  • Golden Hour Photos: Schedule a time during the ‘golden hour’ for some couple shots. The soft, warm light makes for stunning photographs.

  • Candid Moments: Let us know if you prefer more candid shots or posed ones. We aim to capture your day your way.

Streamlining Guest Experience:

  • Transportation for Guests: If your ceremony and reception are at different locations, consider arranging transport for your guests.

  • Welcome Packs: Create welcome packs for out-of-town guests with information on the Gold Coast and your wedding itinerary.

Personalizing Your Ceremony:

  • Write Your Vows: Personalized vows add an intimate touch to your ceremony, making it uniquely yours.

  • Local Flavors: Incorporate local elements, be it in cuisine, decor, or music, to give your wedding a true Gold Coast flavor.

Sustainable Wedding Practices:

  • Eco-Friendly Options: Consider sustainable options like digital invites, locally-sourced food, and eco-friendly decor to minimize your environmental footprint.

Conclusion: Your Gold Coast wedding is a journey of love and celebration. With these tips, we hope to help you navigate the planning process with ease and excitement. Remember, at Feather & Finch Photography, we’re not just capturing your wedding day; we’re celebrating your love story in every shot.
