Laidback Tuscan Villa Wedding via China, Australia & Poland

Ellie Kime

June 19, 2018

Kornelia and Gareth's gorgeous Tuscan festival wedding is proof that the enormity of wedding planning is really worth it, as they were bringing friends and family from literally all over the world (they now reside in Shanghai, China, but met in London, and Kornelia is originally from Poland via Australia!) Their week-long "Charlo-palooza" - "a day is definitely not enough time!" - was essentially a holiday for all of the people they love, and they really got involved in all the small details to make it perfect. And they looked sensational whilst doing it - Kornelia's Zac Posen-esque dress is the stuff of dreams.

Simple Tapestry

June 7, 2018

Music is a massive thing for Carrie and Dee, who met at a house party after they'd finished working at Belfast Music Week in 2011, plus Carrie photographs bands for Getty Images (as well as weddings!) so it was a major theme for their New Year's Eve celebration. Their other big love is good food and wine, so the meal had to be amazing! Basically, they said, it was all about everyone enjoying themselves.

So of course it had to be their wedding day, too! They eloped on their fifth anniversary and married in Cornwall. The whole day was about them just being together and really feeling the love.

Ed and Aileen

May 20, 2018

If this is how you do weddings in Chicago, I want in. Let me just list the boxes Brandi and David ticked on their incredible day: a romantic rooftop first look, getting hand tattoos in their hotel room, playing with smoke bombs against the backdrop of a spectacular rainbow, and their two pups were the ring bearer and flower girl! Then, as if that wasn't kickass enough, a week later the bride contacted photographers Ed and Aileen Photography to do a 'trash the dress' session, which took place in Lake Michigan on a 2°C day! That's not just setting the bar high, that's sending it stratospheric.

Laidback Vegan Wedding in Brighton

Violet and Jacob didn't choose the plant life, the plant life chose them. And that's why their super chilled Brighton wedding day was a totally vegan affair with tons of gorgeous donuts, pizzas and other goodies. They married in a low key, intimate ceremony with just 35 guests at Brighton Town Hall, with part one of their reception following in the coffee shop where they first met. By approaching their styling in a laidback way and their family and friends all pulling together to provide various services, they managed to create this gorgeous day for under £5,000.
