About Us:

We are a small company that is based in Byron Bay and are locally focused in our ideals for each wedding website we create, We buy locally and spend locally. We realise that for everyone to exist in these areas we have to support each other.

Thats why each wedding website is restricted to businesses within that area, if you are looking for a bridal gown in Townsville then we hope you will support the Townsville bridal gown businesses, if you need a Limousine in Byron Bay then please choose a local operator, these simple things are what we are foundered on.

The concept started with baybrides.com.au, the idea was created some 15 years ago, before we ever thought of the internet. The idea was to be able to distribute specific information easily to specific groups of people eg: a bride and groom. In 1986 my sister got married in Ballina NSW as this is where we grew up and my parents still lived there, it was home. My sister was actually living in Cairns at the time with her fiancee, the added expense of phone calls and flights home (even more expensive then, THANKYOU Virginblue ) to get things organised within a weeks holiday was a major stress, before going back to Cairns again. Mum had to handle most of it.

If she had an information source like baybrides.com.au her life would have been so much easier.

Many of my friends have had similar experiences as that area like so many others has a tendency to have people leave for the "big smoke". Yet they all want to come home to be married in possibly the most beautifully diverse place in Australia. I have travelled through Europe, the Mediterranean, Asia and Africa and I can honestly say Australia is more than equal to anything I have seen.

Upon my return from overseas it was evident that nothing had changed, the need for such a service like baybrides.com.au was even more urgent as more and more people were discovering the beauty of Northern New South Wales.

My name is Tim Connel and I'm a wedding photographer, I was constantly being asked "can I recommend....?", "do you know a good...?." it was not hard to work out there was a demand for baybrides.com.au.

baybrides.com.au started July 1st 2001 and we have seen the need in other areas of Australia, we have now started www.tropicalbrides.com.au for Far North Queensland, www.sunshinebrides.com.au for the SunshineCoast Queensland, www.capitalbrides.com.au for the Canberra Queanbeyan region NSW and we are working on www.australianbrides.com.au to cater for evry area of Australia with our "Local" focus skills.

If you have any suggestions as to how we can improve our service to you please email us, we would appreciate all your comments. We are progressing rapidly with our services and information and the sites is updated daily as we develop new material.

We have MAJOR plans to grow our service which all have to meet the same criteria...."is this what a bride wants to know, see, experience?"

We hope to make planning your wedding so much easier than ever before, where ever you live.
