Sunshine Coast Bride’s magazine made it’s introduction in 2008 (as an offset to Queensland Brides) and it has had huge support and success over the past year. As I am a supplier and advertiser in the magazine I have had the pleasure of working with the team to work through the motions of the creative side of the production. Last year My work was chosen for the front cover (pictured) of the 2008 edition after a day of producing some amazing looks alongside other coast suppliers they were shot for the magazine providing all Brides from the Sunshine Coast with some wonderful inspiration. This year in June once again I was given the opportunity to take part for next years publication and even though we are not able to see any of our amazing work until it is released in December, if last years is anything to go by then I am extremely excited for this years launch as it is going to be amazing! Stay tuned

Even though I am in the peak wedding time right now I have been thinking that it is time I catch up with some of the exciting things that have happened this year. One of them being back in May, the Abia Awards. I had the pleasure of attending as I had been nominated again this year. The Abia’s are an industry award that recognises excellence within the wedding industry across Australia for all wedding suppliers and services. Votes are provided by Bride’s and there are several categories in which each supplier is scored on. In 2008 I came 2nd in Qld for Bridal Make up Artist of the year. This year being even closer if you can believe a tenth of a percent! I managed to secure 2nd again in Qld. The winner being from Brisbane sees retrospectively that Kim Image Specialist as the top supplier for Bridal Make up on the Sunshine Coast, something I am very proud and pleased with. With scores being so close in all categories this year it just goes to show the quality of suppliers that are dominating the field now. Evalyn Parson’s backed it up again winning Bridal hairdresser of the year for the second year in a row. Congratulations Ev and well done for the Sunny Coast!
