Becky and Si had a retro inspired wedding in Birmingham. "We didn’t really set out to have a specific ‘theme’ but just went for things we both like", said the bride. "Si came up with the idea of inviting guests to join in with dressing in a 1950s style if they wanted to, which I wasn’t sure about at first but there were lots of awesome outfits!"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...

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...

Aimee and Lenny met when they were both working in Cruise Liners in the Caribbean in the early 2000s. "It was far from love at first sight", laughed the bride. "I used to think Lenny was a bit of an idiot! After we both left the ships we stayed (loose) friends on Facebook and in 2009 started a conversation on a photo that went like this: Aimee, 'You look fit Lenny! You're aging well!' Lenny, 'Why Thank you! No-one has ever told me I look fit before! Will you Marry me?' From there we started messaging one another about our 'fake' wedding. It eventually progressed to normal conversation, then daily chat which went on for a couple of months. It soon became apparent that, bizarrely, we were falling in love over our written messages (which we cutely called 'Love Mail' because Lenny's surname is Love!) So, eight years after we'd worked together, I arranged to meet up with this guy (who I used to hate) and who's emails were giving me butterflies. It was supposed to be for one night but I ended up staying for a week. And that was that!"Read more...

Lindsay and Steve originally planned to elope in Las Vegas, but when the bride fell pregnant those plans had to change! "We had booked our wedding ceremony and flights to Vegas to get married in October 2014, followed by a UK Day of the Dead themed reception a week later", Lindsay began. "A week after we did this, I found out I was pregnant! Cue cancelling of the Vegas plans and, shotgun wedding in London, and the nicknaming of bump as B.V (Baby Vegas)! We brought our plans forwards to August and, fortunately, all of our other suppliers were super accommodating and we were able to move all our UK plans forward without a hitch."Read more...

Jody always wanted a steampunk themed wedding, but their theme really came to life when they booked their venue. It came complete with a funfair! "When it came to planning our wedding there were very few surprises for anyone who knew us", Jody began. "I have never been one for anything traditional and after 12 years of catering weddings James did not want anything traditional either."Read more...

Sian and Nathan's wedding was a celebration of 'them'. They wanted to put their own spin on everything so they handmade all the decorations for the reception, had their dog in attendance and, just for fun, had little Lego men on the groom's buttonholes!Read more...

There must be something in the water because I've now featured three brides with blue hair in the past week. Well, it is the best hair colour after all! The reason I fell in love with this wedding has nothing to do with Kaylee's tresses though, and everything to do with the fact that they had the most kick ass day, on a minuscule budget. I love sharing weddings like this because they prove that it is completely possible to have an awesome wedding without spending a fortune. You just have to prioritise what you really want (in Kaylee and Jake's case their only big expense was the photography) and be smart about where you get everything else. The bride found her wedding dress in a vintage store for £20 for example!!Read more...

Nic and Dan were married on Friday 13th July at 13.00 at St John the Evangelist Church in Brigg. The day started with them both getting '13' tattoos and ended with a pub reception at The Exchange Coach House. Nic didn't want a traditional dress, so she wore a black one lined with skull fabric! Skulls were a recurring theme throughout the day, and were also on her custom Converse, their cake, and the DIY bunting that decorated the venue.Read more...

I think a lot of you will know Sassy already. She is an amazing wedding photographer and I'm really lucky because I get to share her incredible weddings all the time. A few years ago she also wrote an article for me about her own wedding photography experience which went kinda viral (read: it was one of my most popular articles of all time!) So, when she told me that she and her gorgeous husband, Ian, were renewing their vows in Thailand I was really, really excited. Excited for them because they'd finally have the epic photographs they deserved, but extra excited for me and you because I knew she'd let me blog it!Read more...
