Byron Bay is more than just a location—it’s a feeling. The combination of pristine beaches, rolling hinterland, and a vibrant yet relaxed culture makes it one of Australia’s most sought-after wedding destinations. Your guests will love the mix of celebration and holiday vibes!
Styling Your Wedding at Sol Gardens & Sol Byron Bay
The right styling enhances the natural beauty of your venue while reflecting your aesthetic. Here are some expert-recommended ideas:
For Sol Gardens: Embrace Organic Elegance
- Floral Installations: Use native Australian blooms like proteas, orchids, and gum leaves for a timeless yet earthy feel.
- Natural Textures: Think raw timber tables, linen napkins, and rattan details to complement the garden setting.
- Soft Lighting: Fairy lights, candles, or lanterns will add a romantic glow as the sun sets.
For Sol Byron Bay: Chic & Sophisticated
- Neutral Palette with Pops of Colour: Soft whites, creams, and sandy tones keep the look elegant, while bold florals or metallic accents add drama.
- Modern Tablescapes: Sleek glassware, geometric centrepieces, and minimalist décor let the venue’s architecture shine.
- Coastal Luxe Touches: Incorporate sheer fabrics, shell details, or driftwood elements for a subtle beachy influence.
Bridal Hair & Makeup to Complement Your Venue
Your beauty look should harmonise with your venue’s aesthetic while ensuring you feel confident and radiant all day. Here are my top recommendations:
1. The Bohemian Bride (Perfect for Sol Gardens)
- Hair: Loose, flowing waves with delicate braids or fresh flowers woven in for a romantic, garden-ready look.
- Makeup: Dewy, glowing skin with soft bronze tones, flushed cheeks, and a subtle lip stain for a natural yet polished finish.
2. The Modern Romantic (Ideal for Sol Byron Bay)
- Hair: A sleek low bun or soft Hollywood waves for timeless sophistication.
- Makeup: A soft smoky eye, defined brows, and a nude lip for a look that’s elegant but not overdone.
3. The Effortless Byron Bay Bride
- Hair: Beachy, textured waves in a half-up style for that “just stepped off the sand” vibe.
- Makeup: Minimal foundation, bronzed skin, and a glossy lip for a fresh, no-makeup-makeup look.
