Ahh the circus! So colourful, so fun, such a perfect theme for an alternative wedding! Tamara and Chip's Florida wedding was a true DIY labour of love. They did almost everything themselves. "We are both light-hearted and fun people, so we wanted our day to feel like a party with our family and friends", explained the bride. "We are not stiff and formal, but love vibrancy and uniqueness! Our whimsical circus theme fit perfectly with how we wanted our wedding day to feel."Read more...

Chris and Emmy were married early in the day, so they wanted to lay on lots of entertainment for their guests. "We wanted a day that was relaxed, fun and family-friendly", wrote the bride. "We had our humanist hand fasting ceremony at 10:30 in the morning, so we wanted to make sure there was plenty for our guests to do throughout the day. We go to a lot of festivals and run a dance tent with my family called the Griffin Tent, so we used that as a starting point, using the marquee and having a pub quiz and live bands in the afternoon. The river running through Loudwater Farm is the same river we both played in as children (we've known each other since we were 11!), so we had fishing nets and wellies for everyone to paddle. We added archery, circus toys, dreamcatcher making and an art and crafts den, and finished up with a silent disco."Read more...

I am passionate about proving that when it comes to your wedding, its not what you spend, its how you spend it! Shhh don't tell anyone, but the nuptials I feature with minuscule amounts of money in the pot are always secretly my favourites too.Read more...

Sarah and Sibley's wedding was held at The Barn at South Milton. They planned a day to celebrate them, the joining of their families and do have a damn good time! Spending just £7000, they saved money by wearing high street clobber (Sarah's incredible sequinned dress from JS Collections at House of Fraser and Sibley's snappy suit from Moss Bros) having a DIY cake, picking wild flowers and making all their own paper goods and decorations.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...

Siobhain and Ben wanted a fuss-free and relaxed wedding that they'd really enjoy. So they invited just 12 guests and planned the whole thing in only two months! "Planning a wedding in just two months was stressful at times", explained the bride. "Our guest count was only 14 people including Ben and I but it was perfect, I always liked the idea of having a small intimate wedding, it felt so much more personal, everyone was a part of it."Read more...
