Laura and Ben didn’t just want to throw a wedding—they created a real three-day festival! Hosted at the Yoghurt Rooms in East Grinstead, the couple’s “Happily Ever After Party” brought together 80 friends and family members for a weekend of camping, music and fantastic food. Ben even designed a custom logo which graced everything from the temporary tattoos to high-vis jackets and was even stamped on empanadas!

From the sunflower-themed garden games, vintage doily backdrop, and a ceremony led by Oceana’s mother—the day truly reflected the couple’s likes and values.Read more...

Emma and Steven's wanted their wedding to feel personal and very much in sync with their own story. Their theme of "colourful-retro-city-chic" was woven throughout with nods to family, music, and memories. They had their ceremony at The Old Marylebone Town Hall and a casual pub reception, and the bride wore her mother's dress. In total they spent less than £10,000 but still had the wedding day of their dreams.Read more...

Zoe and Stephen didn’t just plan one wedding—they planned two. First came a private legal ceremony, held a month ahead of their big day, where Zoe wore a dinosaur print dress. But the main event was an immersive, nerd-tastic celebration centred around all the things and people they love. “Each week as we planned, we’d come back to the same question,” Zoe said, “Does this choice fit our ethos of having the things we love with the people we love?”Read more...

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.Read more...

Part elopement, part micro wedding, Brenda and Nick wanted to get married abroad, but not entirely on their own. Rather than eloping just the two of them, the couple, who are from Wisconsin, invited eight of their best friends to come to England with them as their bridal party!
