Hair and Make Up at A Darling Affair

Your wedding day is your one chance to look jaw-droppingly AH-MAZING.  You get to spend the whole morning getting fussed over and trust us, you will want people around you who you feel super relaxed and comfortable with (while still trusting that they’ll do a tip top job of making you look and feel your best).

We searched high and low to bring you the best Hair and Make-Up professionals we could for our recent Sunshine Coast Fair and we know that a lot of you have already booked in with some of these vendors (high fives to you!  you will LOVE working with these girls).  If you’re still on the hunt then let me introduce you to Sass & Niki, Boudoir Blush, The Beauty Case and Kayla Marshall Hair.  Awesome chicks with style and great personalities to boot!

Awesome photos by When Elephant Met Zebra!

The Fashion at A Darling Affair

Aside from the two spectacular fashion shows on the day, we also had a lot of other bridal fashion on show at our Sunshine Coast Fair – and not just for the ladies either!  If you didn’t get a chance to see what our creative and unique fashion stars were offering up on the day then fear not Darling – here is a little recap in images to get you through your day.

Thanks to When Elephant Met Zebra for the photos below featuring the stalls from Begitta, Urbanna, Judy Copley, Ivie White and the very cool Cooper Brothers.

Wedding Cakes at A Darling Affair

Who can resist a taste testing sample of a wedding cake? Not me! You can usually find the A Darling Affair team in the recovery room after our big events eating chocolate cake. We are treated to all the left overs. Those are the perks.

We had some AMAZINGLY talented wedding cake designers at The Wedding Fair who you must simply look up – The Sweet Spot and Coast Wedding Creations.They take great pride in their cakes and have experienced eating wedding cakes that look great on the outside but not so yummy on the inside. A total let down.Perfecting their art in flavour AND appearance. They want you and your guests to end the night off begging for a second piece of cake.

So that i stop wishing that a chocolate mud cake is right in front of me, here’s what we are talking about with pictures from The Wedding Fair by When Elephant Met Zebra.

Wedding cars at A Darling Affair

We have a passion for riding in style at A Darling Affair HQ and we love to have wedding car hire companies at our fairs that are a bit different and VERY unique.

So we can’t go past the fun you can have jumping in and out of a Kombi with your whole wedding party thanks to Deluxe Kombi Service OR being in the the brand spankin’ new restored mint beauty from Holden Oldies.

They are both A Class services and there will never be an awkward moment of silence between you and the driver on you wedding day. They are just as excited as you to share in your experience.

We were SO excited to showcase our Sunshine Coast Photographers this year… these guys are the cream of the crop and we couldn’t be happier to have welcomed them into the A Darling Affair family.  We’ve heard that lots of you have booked your photographer from our fair – woohoo!  If you are still looking, then stop everything right now and check out the websites of these superstars… we promise you’ll love them as much as we do!

The Photobooths at A Darling Affair

It’s an understatement to say that we LOVE photo booths! They brought such a happy vibe to The Wedding Fair on the Sunshine Coast.

To run a photo booth company you need to have some cool props, awesome backgrounds and be a totally rad person yourself so that if the wedding guests are a little shy you can help shake their nerves and show them a few poses to help get them started.

All our photo booth companies at The Wedding Fair have different booths which makes them unique. Here’s the behind the scenes sneak peak photos from When Elephant Met Zebra from of their set ups and our guests having fun in them!

In order The Photobooth Guys, When Elephant Met Zebra and Caravan of Smiles.

Stationers at A Darling Affair

We have something we need to admit to… over here at ADA HQ we are all stationery addicts.  It’s true.  If we’re not working hard at bringing wedding fairs to life then you can usually find us scouring the net and our local shops for all kinds of wonderful stationery. We own more stationery than the normal person would ever probably need.  But we wouldn’t have it any other way.   The Stationers who we had lined up for our recent Sunshine Coast fair REALLY made us excited.  They all ooze with uniqueness and creativity… they had so much pretty on display that it was a bit of a sensory overload for us…

Without further adieu we’d love to show off some photos (thanks When Elephant Met Zebra!) of the amazing stalls created by Maytide, Gemma Lauren Invitations, With Love Stationery and Design and Cartamodello.

Film Stars at A Darling Affair

We were lucky enough this year to have not one, not two, but THREE amazing videographers at our recent Sunshine Coast Fair.  These people are not only creative but they are also a lot of fun and we LOVED chatting with them all on the day.  We can pretty much guarantee you that you’ll not only be rewarded with a super high quality, creative and unique wedding film if you book one of these guys – but you’ll also have a VERY fun day if you let them play a little part in your wedding.  Promise!

Thanks to When Elephant Met Zebra for the cool pics of our film stars – Jasper & Ruby, BXC SMXTH PRODUCTIONS and Lester and May

Celebrants at A Darling Affair

You might be one of the lovely Darling’s who emailed us recently letting us know you booked your Celebrant at our recent Sunshine Coast fair… if so – virtual high fives coming your way!  If you are still on the hunt, then we can highly recommend one of these awesome people… they all brought their A Game to A Darling Affair and we can only imagine how much life, love and FUN they would bring to your ceremony…

When Elephant Met Zebra – all kinds of wonderful happened…

It will probably be no surprise when we tell you that Brian from When Elephant Met Zebra is probably our most favourite photographer who ever walked the earth (we know that’s a big call.. but seriously… have you seen this guys work!?).  He photographed one of our Darling’s (Emma & Riley) weddings earlier this year and he’s been our official photographer all year this year.  We’re also VERY excited to announce that we’ve managed to secure Brian again as our official photographer for 2015 – woohoo!

You may have seen Brian (looking extremely fashionable thanks to Urbbana!) running around at our recent Sunshine Coast fair excitedly taking photos of all our vendor stalls, fashion parades and anything pretty or creative that took his eye.  It’s our pleasure to now show you some of our favourite photos from the day… get yourself a cuppa and turn your phone off… you won’t want to be interrupted, these photos are all kinds of amazing.

And in case you’re wondering who the man is behind these images… here is a sneaky photo of him that we stole from his Facebook page… thanks to Maytide for the image and thanks again to Urbanna for dressing Brian!
