Kingaroy’s Glendon Street forecourt took on a festive look for a few hours on Saturday night to help launch the South Burnett’s first digital bridal magazine and website.
The new Cherish This Day wedding industry group – which aims to make the South Burnett a favoured place for weddings – treated guests at the launch to a delicious High Tea, accompanied by wine and soft drinks supplied by Kingsley Grove Estate.
South Burnett Deputy Mayor Kathy Duff, who has written the foreword to the first edition of the digital magazine, was on hand to cut a specially decorated cake.
She was accompanied by fellow councillor Ros Heit and Member for Nanango Deb Frecklington.
Cherish This Day secretary Jo Berry thanked guests for braving the cool winter night to attend the launch.
She said the group aimed to bring out a new edition of the free bridal magazine twice a year.
The magazine will feature big, bright photos and up-to-date articles supplied by the group’s members.
It will also discuss the latest trends in weddings and focus on the beauty of the region as a place to hold idyllic nuptials.
Both the digital magazine and website will promote the services that the group’s members can provide for wedding and event organisers, Jo said.
“We believe this two-pronged approach will encourage local brides to think twice about taking their wedding out of our region, and encourage out-of-region brides to venture to the country for their special day,” Jo said.
“The South Burnett is the perfect bridal destination and Cherish This Day intend to put it on the bridal destination map.”
The magazine was designed by the group’s vice president Amanda Wenck, from Truth Designs, who said it involved an enormous amount of work but she hoped readers enjoyed it.
“We wanted to make sure the magazine has real substance,” Amanda said.
Cr Kathy Duff said she was honoured to be asked to write the foreword to the first edition, and thought the group had an excellent concept.
Member for Nanango Deb Frecklington congratulated the group on their initiative.
“I think this a really great idea, and I wish you every success,” Mrs Frecklington said.
