Quinn and Savannah’s wedding in the Hoh Rainforest wasn’t about grand entrances or elaborate decor. It was about staying true to themselves—embracing nature, grounding themselves in their shared love, and creating an intentional space where they could celebrate without feeling the weight of societal norms or family expectations. Their ceremony in the heart of the Pacific Northwest was intimate, real, and deeply meaningful.

Louise and Johan wanted their forest wedding to reflect the surroundings. They chose a neutral and natural colour palette of nudes, greenery and some black. They invested a big portion of their £180k budget on the flowers, decorations and hiring the incredible Blomboy, to bring it all together for them on the day. It was also really important to them to make sure they had the very best food and drink for their guests.

Brides wearing leather or denim jackets is nothing new (in fact I'd say it's probably one of the 'trends' I see more than anything else these days!) So, when a bride is able to take something we see a lot, twist it on it's head and make it 100% her own, well we are DOWN. That's precisely what Gia did when she married Adam in August. She wore a quite traditional dress but added a twist of 'her' with her custom made jacket by Charlotte Hudson.

Jane and Ben were married in South Africa in April. They wanted their wedding to feel natural, beautiful and 'foresty'. They were inspired by A Midsummer Nights' Dream and wanted something that resembled a wonderland forest meets a magical fairyland!

Michaela and Aviad were wed in the Ben Shemen forest, Israel. They wanted a relaxed wedding, just like they are in their every day lives! "We met while working together at the same bar", began the bride. Nothing happened between us for a long time until we were both invited to a friend's wedding. Maybe it was the magic air of a Jewish wedding, but I started to see something between us. Before we knew it we were on a date in a Greek restaurant in Jaffa!"
