Robin Clark

October 28, 2021

This wedding h so perfectly merged the modern festival wedding trend with the 1960s hippie aesthetic. Kristel and Joe chose Black Oak Ranch as their venue, which is widely considered to be America's longest running hippie commune. It is also known for it's involvement in music and politics over the years, including serving breakfast in bed for 400,000 people at Woodstock!

Midsommar may be a horror movie, but the aesthetic is anything but scary, which is why Shar and Scotty were so heavily inspired by it for their not-at-all Halloweeny summer wedding. When Covid hit, it made them realise what they really wanted (and didn't want) for their day so they had their reception of cake and informal, unplanned speeches at the bride's mum's house and spent less than £2,000 to boot!

Kristen Wynn

October 11, 2021

Heather and Anthony chose October 31st 2020 as their wedding date but they didn't want the usual themed wedding with Halloween decorations and costumes. Instead they wanted their day to feel traditional but in black instead of white, "I like to think it was quite the creepy yet classy affair", said the bride. For the colours, they went with a ghostly grey and magical magenta except for their outfits which were all-black.

Analog Modern

August 17, 2021

Hannah and Mike postponed their wedding by almost a year due to COVID, finally tying the knot on April 3rd 2021. Although they organised most of it last year so weren't totally sure how much they spent, they know they wanted to keep the day affordable, with their only big cost being entertainment - in fact it was most of the budget! The groom works in the wedding industry so was able to call in favours and have friends make the food and cake, they didn't bother with centrepieces or flowers and they asked their guests to bring their own drinks.

Retro & Rock n Roll Inspired Coney Island Wedding

Year and a Day

August 6, 2021

Nicole and Brandon are both huge music fans so they wanted to incorporate music into as many details of their wedding as possible. From the invitations which were record and cassette tape designs, to the flowers made from sheet music and even the centrepiece which were all instruments. The favours were guitar picks, magnets, buttons and stickers and were set up like a merch table and the music that played throughout and the reception was a combination of guest requests (which they asked on the RSVP cards) and their own favourites

Kat

FRESH

July 26, 2021

Emily and Jan's boat-access, micro wedding was pure magic. Jan wore a vintage suit while Emily was in a hand-dyed, hand-made red wedding gown. Only their closet family and shaggy dog made the Covid-cut guest list for the day which took place on Slocan Lake in British Columbia. They were wed under a lovingly homemade driftwood arch on a private cliff, which could only be accessed by boat. After the ceremony they ate charcuterie and cliff jumped - perfection!
