Claire and Chris were married in June at The Dome in Worthing. The inspiration for the wedding was to have a small, intimate day with their closest friends and family. "We wanted to feel surrounded by love from those dearest to us", said the bride. "We had 31 guests and found this to be the perfect number. We had plenty of time to speak, hug, laugh, cry and dance with all of them."

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.

Burning Man Wedding

Luca-Mercedes Stemer

February 6, 2016

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!"

How to Save Money on Your Bridesmaid Dresses

February 3, 2016

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.

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."

Denver Dive Bar Elopement

Harper Point

February 2, 2016

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.

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.

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."

Frances Sales

January 24, 2016

Nicole and James set £5000 as the budget for their September wedding, and remarkably they actually spent less than that! Having the day at a village hall, hiring a fish n chip van for catering, and asking guests to bring along dessert, was how they saved the majority of their money. They also didn't spent a lot on fancy outfits.

There's just something about a Vegas elopement. Yes, for many people it might seem like a cliché, but I never fail to get excited about seeing a super cool, super in love couple getting hitched on their own terms. After all, there's nowhere else in the world quite like Las Vegas!

Philip and Stacy pulled off their awesome steampunk inspired wedding for just £5000! "Our venue, Papplewick Pumping Station was the perfect backdrop for a steampunk wedding", the bride said. "The theme inspired the groomsmen's styling. The bridal party were more traditional, but with an alternative twist, much to the surprise of my family who assumed I would wear a gothic or neon pink dress!"

Nay and Oli planned to marry in Vegas on a family holiday in October. "We decided to tie our wedding into a family trip to Vegas for my father's 60th birthday," the bride explained. "The priority for us was no fuss, we’d already hijacked the family holiday, we wanted it quick and simple. We decided to do it this way as I thought it’d be a crime to go to Vegas and not get married, so I proposed to Oli using a ring which a jeweller friend had made, and stuck it in a fortune cookie which I'd made and decorated with our three year old son!"

Emily and Glenn were married at the bride's childhood home. She wore her grandmother's wedding dress and they wanted to make sure everything they did minimised waste. "Our wedding inspiration was to use second-hand, borrowed, vintage and thrift store finds", Emily explained, "We really focused on re-purposing things for the day. This meant incorporating vintage furniture as seating and using items my father had collected over the last 30 years as décor. Everything was DIY but since we did not want to buy anything new we stayed away from crafting and mostly decorated with old lanterns and vintage furniture. We also borrowed a lot of stuff from friends and family so that we didn't have to buy brand new things."
