Daniela and Thomas's wedding day was a mixture of Rock n Roll, psychobilly and Dia De Los Muertos, which the bride describes as a "Happy, loud and without any conventions" kind of day. They had 'first look' photos taken and also stopped in at an Oreo pop-up store on their way to the ceremony, which was held in an old circus tent! Their reception party was in a rockabilly club in the middle of Berlin where they had a live band playing so it was like a gig - they first met at a psychobilly concert in the bride's hometown of Munich, so this was a lovely nod to that.

Amber and Chris were married in October and took inspiration for their wedding from Amber's vintage skull engagement ring. They wanted their wedding to feel old worldly, and described their wedding theme as a 'Memento Mori Romance'. Roughly translated, 'Memento Mori' means 'remember you must die' and Memento Mori jewellery was given to loved ones to remind them that life is fleeting so to live each day to the fullest.

Although they got married on Halloween, Charlie and Chris decided they wanted their wedding to have a different feel to most themed Halloween weddings. With the groom's father being from South America, a Day of the Dead theme made way more sense. "Chris’ dad is South American and he’s always loved day of the dead", explained the bride. "We both absolutely love autumn with all its vibrant copper tones and Halloween is our favourite holiday. We always celebrate it in a big way so it was an obvious choice for our wedding. We also wanted the whole thing to reflect my heritage too so the Asian influence throughout our venue, The Matara Centre, was really important."

Robert and Katy's Scottish wedding was themed around lots of different things but skulls and 80s movies played a big part! "The wedding theme turned out to be a bit eclectic, with elements Robert loved like 80s films (they were our table names), a pork pie wedding cake and elements that had a slightly gothic feel such as a skull centrepiece at the head table and 'til death do us part' favour boxes."
