Sunshine Coast Beach Elopement
Sammy and Norm’s Sunshine Coast beach elopement was the perfect blend of elegance and intimacy, with a relaxed and heartfelt atmosphere that made their day truly unforgettable. Planned to perfection by the talented team at Elope To Sunshine Coast, their intimate celebration in Caloundra exactly what they dreamed of. Sammy looked breathtaking in her custom gown by George Wu Couture as she got ready at the stylish Rumba Resort, surrounded by her mum, her daughter. Their two impeccably dressed furbabies, made the cutest wedding guests in their doggy tuxedos.
With a secluded beach as their ceremony backdrop, the couple exchanged vows overlooking the sparkling Pacific Ocean under the guidance of their warm and wonderful celebrant, Stacey Morris. After their heartfelt “I dos,” we chased the golden light along the boardwalk and white sand, capturing dreamy portraits that reflected the love and joy of their special day. Sammy and Norm’s elopement was a reminder that sometimes, the simplest celebrations—surrounded by those you love most—are the most meaningful.
Tips for Including Your Furbabies in Your Wedding
Your pets are part of your family, so why not make them part of your wedding day too? Including your furbabies in your celebration can make it even more special—and let’s be honest, who doesn’t love a dog in a bowtie or a cat with a flower crown? Here are some tips to help your furry friends shine on your big day:
1. Dress to Impress
Get your pets looking wedding-ready with some adorable accessories! Think tuxedo bandanas, flower collars, or even a tiny tutu. Just make sure they’re comfortable—because no one wants a diva moment from a pup pulling off their bowtie mid-ceremony.
2. Assign a Pet Chaperone
Ask a trusted friend or hire a pet handler to look after your furball throughout the day. Between getting ready, saying “I do,” and dancing the night away, you’ll be busy. Having someone dedicated to your pet ensures they’re cared for and can take little “time outs” if needed.
3. Practice Makes Perfect
If your dog’s starring role involves walking down the aisle, practice ahead of time! A few rehearsal runs will have them strutting like a pro—or at least not running off to chase a seagull.
4. Capture the Cuteness
Let your photographer know your pets are part of the day so they can plan a few fun shots. A candid moment with your dog licking your face? Priceless.
5. Consider Their Comfort
Weddings can be overwhelming, so make sure there’s a quiet spot for your pet to relax and recharge. Pack their favourite treats, water, and maybe a toy to keep them happy.
Having your furbabies at your wedding adds so much love (and a bit of hilarious chaos) to your day. Embrace it—it’s all part of the fun!
