The idea of splitting a wedding over two days—a smaller, intimate ceremony on the first day, followed by a larger, more laid-back reception on another day—gained popularity during the pandemic and remains a popular choice for post-COVID couples. This approach reduces the pressure of formality and having "all eyes on you" during the vows, making it feel more like a personal moment rather than a performance. It also allows for a more relaxed celebration with everyone else afterward. This is exactly what Sioned and James chose to do when they married this summer.

On a crisp February day, the Lunar New Year for the year of the dragon no less, Chris and Barbara-Anna exchanged vows in a celebration that felt like it was pulled directly from the pages of a fantasy novel. They were wed after eight years together, nearly exactly to the day they first started dating.

On October 6th at The Lost Village of Dode in Kent, Natalie and Maxx acted as models for a Snow White and dark fairytale themed wedding shoot. What started as just a pretend handfasting ceremony ended up being really moving and emotional for the couple, so they decided to actually make the commitment for real!

Marc and Chloe have always been interested in gothic style and an alternative lifestyle - meeting at a metal gig in 2012 - so it was never a question that they’d have anything other than a wedding that reflected their true selves!

Sarah and Arran were married in August, after two years long distance between Manchester and Brighton. They wanted their wedding to just reflect them, have a venue with a brown sign, and be beautiful. For entertainment they had snail racing (!) and even made a DIY snail arena for the day!

Ross and Gem were married at the Medieval Banquet Hall at the Park Hall Hotel, which set the theme for the day. "Our inspiration came from our love of ‘old’ England", began the bride. "We adore its majesty and history. We weren't particularly taken by the ‘average’ wedding with pastel colours, white linen, paper straws and sugared almonds, ans we wanted something people would remember. I also wanted to do loads of DIY in the run up. We spent a lot of time making sure that everyone would be entertained throughout. Not many weddings have fire eaters and King Arthur as the toastmaster!

I'm totally biased of course, but blue hair is sooo the best hair colour ever. Since I've gone over to the blue side I can't imagine ever wanting a different colour, it just makes me so happy! So, obviously, Samantha's gorgeous cerulean tresses instantly caught my eye. But then I saw the rest of the wedding and I knew you'd love it too! Any Game of Thrones fans out there?

Lauren and JP's Glasgow wedding was based on their mutual love of Scotland and literature. "Our inspiration was really just stuff we like", Lauren wrote. "Medieval mixed with Scottish mixed with books mixed with 50s mixed with tattoos mixed with pumpkins! It was lucky that our mish-mash just worked in the space together! There’s nothing like that moment when you see your vision for the day come together so well."

Medieval Wedding in a Castle: Ben & Victoria

If there's one type of wedding I don't see a lot of, it's one with a medieval theme. So when Ben & Victoria's wedding - set in a castle and featuring owls, hawks and a castle shaped wedding cake - landed in my inbox I was thrilled to be able to feature it. The wedding was held at Castle Ladyhawke in Tuckasegee, North Carolina in November. "Ben proposed on a camping trip to the mountains in North Carolina", began the bride. "He conspired with my bridesmaid and photographer best friend to surprise me by proposing on top of a mountain with her taking photos. He also planned two surprises for me for our wedding that were really special. The castle had a tower with a flag pole on top and with the help of his best man he came up with a coat of arms flag for us as a new family together. He used our wedding colors and an owl sigil, to tie in with the bird that brought us our rings, our love for Harry Potter and the mascot of the university where we both met and graduated. It looked really cool at the castle and is something I'm happy to keep always."
