LOVE NOTE MUSIC

A Darling Affair 07/12/2015 0 Comments

Love Note was born out of the need for something different.

When a close friend asked Ange to sing at her wedding, she wanted to suprise her with something a little out of the ordinary. Unable to find a song that perfectly captured who they were or the awesomeness of their relationship, she decided that she needed to write the words herself. Not only surprising them with their very own original song on their wedding day, she also recorded the track for them to keep forever. (Is it just us, or does Ange sound like the coolest friend ever???)

Dan and Ange are Love Note Music, a Sunshine Coast based, acoustic live music duo who specialise in creating the perfect mood for your Sunshine Coast, Brisbane or destination wedding. Whether it’s performing acoustic covers with a unique twist for your ceremony, cruisy afternoon sets for canapé or cocktail hour, relaxed music or getting the party started at your reception, Love Note make sure that every moment of your day is accompanied by a great vibe.

Running since 2010, they offer a unique service creating original arrangements of your chosen ceremony songs, or if you want something completely different, original wedding songs written especially for you! Composed from your story and recorded for a keepsake, a little memento of your day you can keep forever.

You won’t want to miss meeting (and hearing) this awesome duo at our next Brisbane Wedding Festival held on January 30th, 2016. Until then, visit them on Facebook or their website for more information.

Georgia Young Couture make the kind of gowns that Brides dream of.

Specialising in made to measure Bridal gowns and evening wear, this small team of dressmakers are experts in their field.

For founder Georgia, three years of working in the couture industry was not enough. With a desire to inject her own signature style into her work, Georgia Young Couture started with humble beginnings on the dining room table. Within six months her business had generated enough growth and interest to move into a new home, an old graffiti studio in the Melbourne suburb of Fitzroy. Wtih the help of her fiance, she turned the rundown building into an amazing Bridal boutique that is a delight to visit.

Each gown is hand made under the one roof in Fitzroy and is lovingly created from start to finish by their experienced Couturier. Involving clients fully during the process, Georgia works closely with Brides from the first consultation, through to selecting the perfect fabric and watching the gown take shape throughout the fittings.

Unique and original designs make this couture boutique a favourite with Brides to be. Georgia’s loves for finding that perfect balance between a classic feminine shape and mixing it up with a modern, fresh design, make her stand out from the pack.

Georgia Young Couture is in hot demand and we’re beyond excited that they will be joining our line up of amazing vendors at our next Brisbane Wedding Festival held on January 30th, 2016. Hosted by the Brisbane Racing Club, it’s going to be a great day that you won’t want to miss! Until then, you can find Georgia Young Couture on their website or visit their Facebook page for more information.
