Nestled in the lush Sunshine Coast hinterland, Maleny Manor set the stage for Stacey and Blake’s unforgettable wedding day. With stunning views, a gorgeous venue, and a beautiful couple, their special day was nothing short of perfect, despite the ominous weather forecast. Here’s a look back at their incredible day, from the morning preparations to the grand reception.
Getting Ready: The Calm Before the Storm (of Emotions)
The day started early with the groomsmen, as Blake and his two best mates (along with his dad) prepped for the big day at Maleny Manor. Blake, who confessed to being a bit nervous before the ceremony, was reassured by the support of his closest friends and family. His dad added some light-hearted humor, joking about how many photos he’d need to be in, which, of course, meant we made sure to get plenty of shots with him!
After a fun and relaxed photo session, it was time to head to the girls. Stacey and her bridal party were getting ready in the manor’s elegant loft, which was beginning to feel a bit warm as the day went on. But even the heat couldn’t take away from how stunning Stacey looked in her dress. Her gown was nothing short of a showstopper—elegant, timeless, and fit for a princess. The grand train flowed beautifully behind her as she shared an emotional first look with her dad. There wasn’t a dry eye in the room as Stacey’s father shed a tear seeing his daughter in her wedding dress for the first time.
A Stunning Ceremony with Perfect Timing
Guests made their way to the helipad, where Stacey and Blake’s outdoor ceremony was set up. Though the weather was touch-and-go, the couple decided to take the chance and go for the outdoor ceremony, and boy, did it pay off! The clouds parted just in time, giving way to perfect weather for the vows.
Speaking of vows—Stacey and Blake’s personal vows were heartwarming and emotional, leaving no one with a dry eye in sight. As the ceremony ended, they walked down the aisle surrounded by a shower of rose petals, a moment so beautiful it could’ve come straight out of a fairytale.
Couple Photos at Maleny Manor
One of the best things about Maleny Manor is how much the venue itself offers for stunning wedding photo locations & backgrounds. We didn’t have to leave the property to capture some amazing shots, though if you’re looking for a different vibe, nearby spots like On The View or Petrichore Estate offer breathtaking views of the Glass House Mountains. Regardless of the location, Stacey and Blake looked radiant, and their love for each other truly shone through in every photograph.
The Reception: A Night to Remember
As the newlyweds entered their reception, they kicked off the evening by entering with a dance. The energy was electric as friends and family stood around to celebrate their love. Guests were treated to heartfelt speeches from parents, friends, and Blake himself. Laughter, tears, and touching stories filled the air, as everyone reflected on the couple’s journey so far and their bright future ahead.
The Perfect End to a Perfect Day
Despite the morning’s threat of rain, Stacey and Blake’s wedding turned out to be nothing short of magical. Their love, the support of their family and friends, and the breathtaking surroundings of Maleny Manor made it a day to remember.
