A Thing Like That
February 10, 2016
Alex and Steve's wedding was all about being thrifty but also not being wasteful. They had a £3000 budget, had their reception at a community hall and the bride wore a dress made by her mum from organic cotton an bamboo. The flowers were all picked on the day and the cake was made by the mother of the groom.Read more...

British-born Aisling and Australian Jeremiah met in Vancouver. Although they now live in Australia, they wanted to go back to where they first met to be married. "Our wedding theme was 'Two Worlds Collided', began the bride. "The INXS song of the same name was how it all began it was our song from the day we met. It suits us because our personalities and tastes are very different. We are from two different countries. We had two different wedding locations and I ended up with two wedding outfits."Read more...

I think Shannon and Jordy's summer wedding might just be one of the prettiest I've ever featured. They kept things relatively simple, but it made for a really beautifully styled day.Read more...

If you've picked up a copy of Rock n Roll Bride magazine this month, you will have seen that nestled in between the wedding prettiness and awesome advice, is a photo shoot from a campaign that I'm working on with Plan UK. The global children's charity have created these ring wedding favours to help raise money and awareness for making child marriage a thing of the past.Read more...

Casey and Will wanted an intimate wedding where they could spend lots of time with their loved ones. Instead of booking a traditional wedding venue, they hired a holiday home that they could all stay in.Read more...

Burning Man is a place where anything goes, so it was the perfect place for Angela and Michael's to have the wedding they've always dreamt of. "We were married at Burning Man so our theme was loosely a mixed interpretation of a royal wedding", the bride said. "In truth, weddings are rarely just about the bride and groom and we wanted a wedding that was just about us. We already had tickets to Burning Man and had heard about people getting married there so once the idea was put forth it was an easy decision to make. When we told our families our plans they were completely unsurprised. Apparently running away to the desert is completely in-keeping with our personalities and reputation!"Read more...

If I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times, more than anything else in your wedding, you should invest as much as you can in your wedding photographs. After the cake has been eaten and the dress is relegated to the back of your wardrobe, the photos taken of your special day are all that remain (well, apart from the marriage of course!) They will sit on your parents' mantelpiece forever and when you're old and grey you'll be dragging out that photo album to show your grandkids how young and gorgeous you looked.Read more...

Danielle and Darren were set up on a blind date. Their wedding was inspired by a trip to Tunisia and their love of travel in general. They were also influenced by Glastonbury and their family, friends and children.Read more...

Amy and Ryan wanted a sweet, nostalgic and happy wedding. They were married at Star Hill Ranch in Austin, in March. "I originally wanted a ceremony at our house, but there was no way we could fit everyone, so we brought elements of our home to the venue", Amy said. "We both love mid-century ascetics, but didn't want it to be too kitschy or overdone. One guest described it as 'if Wes Anderson remade Steel Magnolias' which is a fantastic compliment if not just a really, really good idea."Read more...

Prepare to get your swoon on with Karly and Geoffrey's adorable vintage influenced wedding. "Geoffrey and I had both been sent to the tiny coastal town of Prince Rupert, BC for work", Karly explained when I asked her how they met. "We were set up on a blind date in the fall of 2012 by a mutual friend. Six months later we were shopping for a house together. I was a bit of a hippie wild child and never would've seen myself ending up with a policeman, but he is just so wonderful and we fell in love so quickly and easily. We got engaged in January 2014."Read more...

I was a bridesmaid for the first time in November. I was actually the only one at the wedding and that, coupled with probably the most laid-back bride in existence, meant the whole experience was a breeze. Carly's only stipulation was that I wore grey. Easy. We went to one place and ordered my dress then and there.Read more...

Magda and David wanted a simple autumnal wedding with lots of warm colours. Their reception was held in a restaurant with gold chandeliers and they decorated the tables with ivy and leaves. "We wanted the wedding to feel like we were just at home", the bride said. "Our dress code was 'whatever makes you feel relaxed' and we made almost everything ourselves."Read more...

I think at some point or another throughout their wedding planning, most brides throw their hands up in the air and shout "Screw it! Let's just elope!!" Whether it's the mounting costs, your parents driving your bonkers or the fact that you're spending more time than can be considered sane panicking over DIY projects, I'm pretty sure its a common fantasy for a lot of engaged folks.Read more...

A couple of years ago I ran a contest for one very lucky bride to not only win a bespoke wedding dress of her own design from Wendy Benstead, but also free wedding photography with Assassynation! Well the lucky winner of that competition was Gemma, who married Nathan in May! Their wedding was super small, they only had 11 guests.Read more...

Inspired by Wes Anderson, Jennie and Fergus planned a quirky wedding at Camp and Furnace in Liverpool. "Our wedding was Wes Anderson themed in the sense that small nods ran through the venue decoration, entertainment and outfits", the groom explained. "We're both massive fans of his films and the level of set design minutiae that goes into them lent itself quite nicely to an underlying theme for a wedding."Read more...

When I think about the most alternative wedding suppliers in the UK, I always think of Sassy of Assassynation Photography and Jo from The Couture Company. These bodacious babes are repping the alt bridal world like NOBODY ELSE! Co-founders of the Eclectic Wedding Extravaganza (taking place in Birmingham next month) they wanted to do this photo shoot to showcase some of the coolest wedding stuff out there right now.Read more...

One of the things I get asked about more than anything else is my hair and some of the most popular articles I've ever written are about it too. Maybe I should just ditch the whole wedding thing and become a hair blogger instead!? HA! Maybe not, but I got so many questions when I posted about my new pink-blue do, that I figured I'd do a quick Q&A on the blog. I hope you find this helpful and if you still have questions feel free to pop them in the comments and I'll try my best to help you too.Read more...

Jenny and Steve were married at The Electric Cinema, the UKs oldest cinema, in Birmingham. "We'd have loved to have a festival style wedding", said the bride. "We love going to festivals, seeing live music and I'm a big hippy at heart. However due to our budget and in the light of keeping things simple and as stress-free as possible, we had to ditch this idea."Read more...
