Planning a spring wedding?

Brisbane Celebrant Walkabout Creek Wedding Venue

Planning a spring wedding in Queensland in 2025? That’s exciting! Here are some helpful tips and advice to make your wedding planning smooth and stress-free:

1. Choose the Right Date

  • Spring (September–November) is a beautiful time in Queensland, with mild temperatures and low humidity.

  • Be mindful of school holidays, public holidays, and major local events that might impact venue availability and accommodation prices.

2. Pick the Perfect Venue

  • Outdoor Weddings: Queensland has stunning beaches, gardens, and hinterland locations (e.g., Noosa, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Scenic Rim, Brisbane).

  • Indoor Weddings: If you prefer a weatherproof option, consider wineries, heritage venues, or luxury resorts.

  • Backup Plan: If you’re having an outdoor wedding, have a solid wet-weather contingency plan.

3. Lock in Key Vendors Early

  • Photographers, videographers, caterers, and florists book out quickly in spring.

  • Research and book your Celebrant early if you want a personalised ceremony.

  • Consider a wedding planner or on-the-day coordinator for a stress-free experience.

4. Seasonal Flowers & Styling

  • Embrace spring blooms like peonies, roses, and native Australian wildflowers.

  • Soft pastels, earthy tones, or vibrant florals work well for a spring wedding theme.

  • Outdoor fairy lights, candles, or lanterns add a romantic touch for evening receptions.

5. Wedding Attire for Queensland’s Climate

  • Choose breathable fabrics like chiffon, silk, or linen to stay comfortable.

  • Grooms and groomsmen can opt for lighter suits or relaxed attire for beach/hinterland weddings.

  • Have an option for layering (e.g., shawls or jackets) for cooler evenings.

6. Accommodation & Transport

  • If guests are traveling, book accommodation blocks early, especially in tourist-heavy areas.

  • Consider transport options if your venue is remote or if alcohol is served at the reception.

7. Legal Requirements

  • Ensure you complete your Notice of Intended Marriage (NOIM) at least one month before the wedding.

  • Choose a registered celebrant who can guide you through the legal paperwork.

8. Budget & Hidden Costs

  • Account for additional costs like permits (for beach or park weddings), overtime fees, and vendor travel costs.

  • DIY elements can save money, but factor in time and effort.

9. Plan for Queensland’s Spring Weather

  • Spring is generally dry, but have a backup plan for unexpected rain.

  • Sunscreen, hydration stations, and shaded areas are great for outdoor ceremonies.

10. Enjoy the Planning Process!

  • Start early to secure your dream venue and vendors.

  • Delegate tasks to friends, family, or a wedding planner to reduce stress.

  • Take time to soak in the excitement your big day will be here before you know it!
