Walk a day in her shoes

Walk a day in her shoes…..

Challenge accepted!

We all think after a few years we know all about it …but do we actually?

No sorry we don’t, so operation walk in her shoes began.

Step one organise the details with some great friends in the industry.

Step two get the right undies, shoes and attitude and go for it.

Step 3 try to act natural in front of the camera with the fab Talitha from Artography. Another great learning curve!

Elizabeth de Varga and Makeup by Kim McLeod came to the rescue with at least 15 gowns , jewels headpieces and the know how…thank goodness.

As our Brides often get ready onsite it was the best exercise we could have done to see how it feels, how long the process takes and how to manoeuvre in a gorgeous gown when you are not used to frocking up.

Where we out of our comfort zone YES, did we feel odd, then great ,then awkward …ummm yes we did in a beautiful, fun kind off way.

It made us reassess spacing, cueing of entrances to the ceremonies, patience when you move and the gown is not flowing…shoulders back flick and kick…smile and turn.

It gave us a better idea of the timing from upstairs to the ceremony pavilion and how to go about it. How long it takes for the girls to start to relax into the process of being a superstar for the day.

An appreciation of how much they may be out of their comfort zone hoping all the planning and choices come together on the day so you are the one in the white dress looking and feeling amazing.

So not only was it a great team building exercise and much cleaner than Tuff Mudder or Paintball the Kitchen staff suggested but it gave us some great tips.

We all have bits that work and do not work for us choose a gown made for you and altered for you with love and care.
Makeup can be a breeze when you have wedding professionals
Getting ready onsite is enough without transporting to and fro to a venue.
A relaxed environment is essential.
You will need help with a long train or veil and we can advise the bridesmaids better on gown handling work place health and safety now for all involved. Yes some gowns are a work of walking art and have to be treated accordingly.
A pre shoot for your engagement will make you more comfortable and cancel out the poses you think my work in which on reflection simply look odd.
Staircase guide advice now comes from first hand experience.
Bouquet positioned bellybutton and out making a beautiful frame of your silhouette with your elbows.
Have a spot for tissues or a hanky or a gown with pockets…very handy.
Enjoy it and the process with all your heart and with some assistance from the venue and those that care about you have the time of your life.

We so appreciate out team who have climbed to amazing heights in the Wedding Industry. Special thanks go to two of the most amazing Coordinators in Australia, Peta Howie and Amy Long ,along with Marlene Murray who have provided Maleny Manor with an outstanding reputation. Adding the professionalism, love and care as a team to every wedding takes real dedication and these ladies have been the most outstanding representatives. It takes a special person to be at the top of their field in Australia consistently and these ladies are amazing.

The Chairman of the ABIA, Mr John O’Meara said it was a great privilege and honour to have one of the world’s most lavish and opulent Hotels, Palazzo Versace as the major sponsor of the Designer of Dreams Awards. Just like a wedding is a Day to Remember, the 2015 Palazzo Versace Designer of Dreams Awards was a Night to Remember for all 190 attendees who celebrated a night of entertainment, extravagance, opulence and haute couture cuisine.

The 2015 ABIA Designer of Dreams Titles is a national program designed to determine the best Vendors Of Wedding Services in Australia over a consecutive period of four (4) years. Each year the ABIA conducts the Annual Bridal Industry Awards in each of the 5 mainland States of QLD, NSW, VIC, SA, and WA.
Over the past 4 years, the ratings received by each Vendor in the State awards are accumulated under a structured computer based algorithm to determine the contenders for the national awards.

The 2015 national awards were determined by the votes of 126,216 couples who were married over the past four (4) years. These newlyweds nominated a total of 3,476 Wedding Vendors across Australia, of which 697 qualified for the national titles culminating in 199 Finalists and 36 winners.

The Chairman of ABIA Mr John O’Meara said that Maleny Manor should be extremely proud of being honoured by Australia’s peak industry body as the No.1 Designer of Dreams in the Category of Ceremony Venue especially when one considers the level of passion and commitment required to consistently excel in the design of products and services which culminate in the delivery of the brides perfect day.

Mr O’Meara went onto to say that the Australian bridal market is one of the most demanding of industries as it requires wedding vendors a one off opportunity to deliver excellence the first time, every time, there are no second chances. Repeating this outcome year after year after year, bride after bride after bride is a daunting task for which thousands of wedding vendors strive to achieve. It is all the more daunting when the entity who determines this outcome are newlyweds who have been through the process of selecting and engaging wedding vendors who have demonstrated their ability to design the ingredients which culminate in the delivery of the perfect day. Maleny Manor is one such company who has consistently delivered these dreams over a consecutive period of 4 years culminating in being honoured as the Best Ceremony Venue Australia.
