Bush Wedding Gumdale Brisbane

Bush Wedding in Gumdale

Celebrate your bush wedding in Gumdale, the delightful outer-Brisbane suburb in Queensland.  The Gumdale Historic Museum is an authentic pioneer’s house right in the heart of Gumdale.

So near to Brisbane and the southern Bayside areas, this charming venue is just perfect for an Australian bush wedding. 

House in the Bush

Experience the feeling of living in a house in the bush in the early 1900s.  The house is constructed of depression-era, 1920s-1930s, tin shingle and weatherboard.  It has furniture, clothes, books and tools that are authentic depression-era, and these are just delightful.

The house sits in an Australian bush setting with grassed level ground and is next to its sealed car park.  This makes for easy access, especially for the Bridal Party and guests.

There are lots of fantastic natural bush photo opportunities too!  Not only are the outside areas great, but the inside of the house are also perfect for those fun photos.  Create your own bush life with some props from the museum’s collection.  This truly is the authentic bush adventure!

The adjacent Gumdale Progress Association Hall is also available for hire, either as a ceremony venue, or reception venue.

Please contact Robyn Nalder:  International – 61+732455009  Australia – 07 3245 5009 for hiring details.

I Love Bush Weddings

I love bush weddings!  Not only are they relaxed and fun, but everyone feels welcome at a bush wedding.  I create unique wedding ceremonies that capture the true essence of an Australian bush setting.  Contact Glenda to book  for your Australian bush wedding.

Bush Bride

Meanwhile, please enjoy the following tale of a ‘Bush Bride’ as she settles into domestic life in the Australian bush.  She may be new to the bush, however this Bride is no shrinking violet!  She is always cheerful as she comes to grips with the various challenges of life in the bush.

7 New Cleveland road

Brisbane Autumn Brides & Weddings

Brisbane Autumn Brides & Weddings…beautiful

Brisbane Autumn Brides really do have the best of everything!  Autumn is a delightful time of year in beautiful Brisbane, the capital of Queensland.  Autumn is an ideal time for weddings.  Not too hot and humid during the day, not too chilly in the evenings.

Brisbane outdoor home garden wedding setting

Brisbane outdoor home garden wedding setting

An Autumn wedding ceremony in the great outdoors is a popular choice for Brides & Grooms in Brisbane.  Fresh air, natural surroundings and relaxed.

When is Autumn in Brisbane?  The Australian Autumn is from 1 March to 31 May.  However, as Brisbane enjoys a sub-tropical climate, the weather often feels more like summer.  The Autumnal Equinox for 2021 is 20 March.  This is the time when there is an equal number of daylight and night-time hours.  It is said that this is when the world is ‘in balance.’

Brisbane Autumn & Easter Brides & Weddings

Brisbane Autumn also means Easter.  This is a popular time for weddings.  Easter holidays in 2021 are celebrated from Friday (Good Friday), 3 April to Monday (Easter Monday), 5 April in Brisbane.

Planning a Brisbane Autumn Wedding

Planning for a Brisbane Autumn Wedding?  Planning to invite guests from outside Brisbane, perhaps from overseas or interstate?  Here are some important points to keep in mind:

  • The state of Queensland (as well as Western Australia and The Northern Territory) does not currently observe daylight saving time.  The Australian Capital Territory, New South Wales, South Australia, Tasmania and Victoria, however, do observe daylight saving time for part of the year.  In these states and territory, daylight saving time ends on the first Sunday in April.
  • The daylight hours get shorter during Autumn.  The later in Autumn, the shorter the daylight hours.  This is important when planning a daytime outdoor wedding ceremony.  Knowing when it is daylight in Brisbane is very useful!
  • Your Notice of Intended Marriage must be in the hands of your Celebrant at least one month before the date of your wedding ceremony.

Book Brisbane’s Really Good Celebrant now!

Dates for Saturday and Sunday Autumn wedding ceremonies are still available!

Don’t wait (or at worst forget about it).    Uh, oh, you did forget, didn’t you?  Don’t panic, contact me now!  If you have already made your wedding arrangements, and the wedding is less than 1 month away, you may be able to apply for a shortening of time in certain specified circumstances.

Garden Wedding – Glenda J Ashleigh Celebrant

Garden Wedding with Brisbane’s Very Good Celebrant

A Garden wedding with Brisbane’s Very Good Celebrant, Glenda J Ashleigh, is just delightful!  The sun is shining, the birds are singing and everything is as it should be – perfect!  All is well in the garden.

Peg & Pog - Garden Wedding

Peg & Pog garden wedding

Parks and gardens in Brisbane, Queensland (fantastic one day, perfect the next!) make great venues for outdoor wedding ceremonies.

Brisbane’s Very Good Celebrant, Glenda J Ashleigh, conducts the wedding ceremony just the way that Peg and Pog want.

Everyone feels relaxed and happy.  They really enjoy the charming ceremony and the garden setting.  The roses are blooming, the grass feel like carpet, and there is plenty of space for all to see.

Garden Weddings & Weather

Providing the sun keeps shining, all will be well for the wedding party, service providers, and of course those very important people, the guests.  Delightful!  But then, who can control the weather?

A few clouds drift over, and then some more…  Quick!  Here comes the rain, run!  Where do people run to?  What do they do when they get there?  What do you do with soggy people?  A bedraggled bridal party does not look good, especially in photographs and videos.

If you consider holding your wedding ceremony in a garden or one of the many delightful parks in and around Brisbane, be prepared with a ‘rainy day’ option.  Is there shelter close to the ceremony area?  Is the shelter large enough to provide cover for everyone?  You might want to tell guests to bring their ‘brollies or you can provide umbrellas for them.

Be prepared.  Check out the shelter option in your chosen park.  Avoid becoming a ‘soggie’ on your wedding day!  Delight your guests, they will thank you for your good planning.
