The Perfect Wet Weather Wedding Plan

Written by Cheryl Landsberry Celebrant / Photos by Romana Saeheng

Lou and Anthony pictured an intimate outdoor ceremony by the water. But when an almighty storm cell took out their surprise ceremony location on the Brisbane River, their private dining space at Sure Thing Chapel became the perfect place to say “We do”!

Lucinda and Anthony travelled from interstate with just their children for a family focused, low key, wedding experience. They asked the team at Elope Brisbane to create a Love Adventure to meet their vision.

Lucinda and the couple’s daughters were glammed up by Hollywood Brides. The family were then picked up from their accommodation by Steve from Kandid Kombi and were transported to Kangaroo Point cliffs for a photo shoot with Romana Saeheng Photography and Graphic Design.

Lucinda wore a gorgeous white lace gown with a sexy sheer panel at the hip. Anthony and the boys wore forest green jackets with white shirts and chinos. The older girls wore slinky champagne coloured dresses, and the little girls wore pale pink party frocks.

Unfortunately, the raindrops thwarted plans for a ceremony by the river, so a quick switch to indoor plan B was in order. The couple were wed in a sweet, light ceremony, which we had crafted together via distance. The flower girls loved their role as professional petal scatterers and ensured all the wedding photos were full of colour.

Candles were lit for a catered, private dinner set up at Sure Thing Collective & Wedding Venue by CuppaMakeCake.

Lucinda and Anthony wrote these words of recommendation,

“Cheryl was so friendly and easy to engage with, even with our busy schedules, and communication from afar. On our day, Cheryl was easy to redirect to our wet weather plan, and integrated perfectly with our small group, complimenting the feeling of being surrounded by family

From start to finish, we felt Cheryl’s warmth, and kindness through her softly spoken words, smiles, and encouragement of laughter. Thank you, Cheryl, for being a part of our day, and being so efficient with the legals as well.”

This wedding day was memorable, enjoyable, special, and above all – hassle free. I think we’ll be seeing lots more couples take this option up.
