True love is brought to life in vibrant colors. This styled shoot was designed to capture the fun, carefree energy of a summer pool party with chic Palm Springs vibes, all set against the stunning backdrop of sunny Queensland, Australia. The talented team at White Parrot Photography perfectly translated this vision, capturing not only the bold, playful hues but also the beauty of the surroundings and the undeniable connection between the couple. With every detail meticulously planned and flawlessly executed, the result is a celebration of color, romance, and the joy of summer love.
For this shoot, the team chose Essence Peregian, a new luxury boutique hotel nestled in the unspoiled coastal village of Peregian Beach. This stunning resort was the perfect setting for the team’s vision of a vibrant, joyful atmosphere. The pastel color palette, beautifully curated by Kerrie & Ellie from Bloom and Bush and Sunshine Weddings, brought the scene to life with soft shades of yellow, lilac, blue, and pink. The goal was to capture the warmth and playful spirit of a summer celebration, and every detail radiated that sun-kissed joy.
Ceremony
The bride looked effortlessly chic in a short cocktail dress for the ceremony, standing gracefully among white cylinder pillars adorned with vibrant florals set by the pool. The minimalist yet elegant setup perfectly framed the intimate moment, with soft pastel blooms cascading from the pillars, adding a romantic touch.
The scene was beautifully officiated by Sommer Saunder Celebrancy, creating a relaxed yet stylish atmosphere that truly captured the nature of modern romance. Every detail, from the florals to the bride’s playful yet elegant look, embodied the vibrancy and joy of this summer-inspired celebration.
After the ceremony, the newlyweds started the celebration in style by heading to the poolside bar at Essence Peregian. Sipping on refreshing cocktails and indulging in delicious canapés provided by the hotel, they soaked in the relaxed, joyful vibe of their unforgettable day.
Reception Decor & Celebration
As the celebration shifted to the reception, the bride wore a breathtaking long gown by Shona Joy, perfectly paired with sparkling diamond and gemstone jewelry from Leskes Jewellers. Valentina from Sunshine Brides completed the look with flawless natural makeup and soft waves, giving the bride an air of effortless, timeless, and chic elegance.
The tablescape was a vision of summer elegance, thoughtfully styled with layers of textures and varying heights. Tall tapered candles stood among lush floral centerpieces, while bright yellow napkins, gold cutlery, and palm-themed menus added a playful yet sophisticated touch to the setting. A whimsical purple wedding cake adorned with pink flamingos by SweetP Cakes and Cookies brought a fun twist, perfectly complemented by vibrant purple and pink welcome signage and seating charts from Little J Design.
For the flatlays, the team continued the colorful theme, featuring a blue ring box and clutch from The Whole Bride, beautifully displaying blue engagement rings and pearl earrings alongside vibrant purple and pink wedding invitations and matching shoes. Every detail tied together the summery, vibrant atmosphere of the day.
