Wedding Stories
Kylie & Aaron
posted 2008 Aug by Jeannie Sheppard
Married on the beach at Point Lookout, Stradbroke Weddings decorated Kylie & Aaron’s ceremony with the contemporary look of cream market umbrellas, white Americana chairs and scatters of flower petals. Bottled water on ice and Stradbroke Weddings’ large white golf umbrellas were on hand to keep guests comfortable as they waited for the Bride’s arrival and female guests were given pretty paper fans to stir up the breeze.

Kylie chose Stradbroke Flowers to provide all her floral requirements on the day with teardrop bouquets for both herself and her Bridesmaids featuring green Anthuriums, white Phalenopsis Orchids and tropical greenery.

Said Kylie and Aaron; “Aaron and I were so happy to have Jeannie and Stradbroke Weddings as a part of our wedding team. Jeannie was a great help right from the beginning. The ability to hire things and organise flowers, etc on the Island was great. The ceremony looked gorgeous and the flowers were beautiful. We wouldn’t have had such a successful wedding without Stradbroke Weddings. I would recommend Stradbroke Weddings to anyone getting married on the Island. They will make your day perfect. Thanks again” Kylie & Aaron March 2008

Lavender and white was the theme for Amanda and Matthew’s recent wedding at Point Lookout. They chose the Main Beach cifftops for their ceremony but as breezes picked up on the Southern side of the Point a change of venue was necissitated and Stradbroke Weddings swung into action to install their beautiful ceremony decorations at Deadman’s Reserve where the weather was calm.
Stradbroke Weddings’ Coordination services on the day meant that Amanda & Matthew had nothing to worry about as all service providers were contacted regarding the change of venue and our coorindator was there to greet guests and ensure all ran smoothly. Vine arches accented with lavender and white flowers formed the aisle to the ceremony site where Amanda & Matthew stood on a carpet of thousands of Rose petals.
Amanda and Matthew chose the gorgeous Stradbroke Hotel for their reception with the lavender and white theme carried through to the decorations installed in the room by Stradbroke Weddings. Tall vases filled with white Lilies and lavender crystals were illuminated from beneath while chairs and tables were draped in lavender and white linen. As night fell, hundreds of candles twinkled in the room and Amanda and Matthew cut their cake beneath a twinkling arch of white and lavender flowers.

Stradbroke Flowers supplied Amanda’s fresh Bridal flowers which featured a cascading teardrop bouquet of lavender and white with matching natural-stem posies for her Bridesmaids.
“This is just to say thank you so much for everything you did. The wedding was a fairytale and we couldn’t find one fault if we tried. We are so happy we went with Stradbroke Weddings. It made our journey so easy and relaxed. The day was magic! Amanda & Matthew
