Megan & Henry wanted their wedding to embrace the beauty of Australia and to be a mixture of glamour and the 'make, mend and do' styling of the 30's & 40's. The wedding was held in the Officer's Mess at The Gap Bluff Centre, Sydney.Read more...

"Must. Remember. To. Breathe" I thought as I looked through this amazing set of images sent over by Gabby of En Route Photography last week. It's not just beause bride-to-be Bonnie is utterly stunning...and has blue hair...and is rocking that amazing 80's dress like nobody's business... but just check out the LIGHT! The relatively simple rooftop backdrop (in Berlin no less) is the perfect location for such a breathtaking bridal shoot.Read more...

Ney & Phil's DIY wedding was loosely based around the theme of a books and libraries. "We wanted a literary theme and thought using vintage books as invites would be a lovely idea," Ney told me. "We met at University studying English Literature and just love books, in particular old Penguin classics. We found some companies that can make them for you, but they’re expensive so we decided to do them ourselves."Read more...

So you're probably sick of hearing about The Designer Vintage Bridal Show (I have banged on about it somewhat) but I've just received the official show photographs from my bestie Emma Case and I wanted to share them soon as... I know some of you will want to see my tutu at least!Read more...

It was really important to Dawn & John to have a stress-free and personal wedding. John proposed on a bridge in Paris after the couple had been together for sixteen years (erm, excuse me guys but you don't look old enough!) John is in a band, and although he's used to being on stage, he was super nervous about having all eyes on him at his wedding, so his understanding bride-to-be promised a low key and intimate wedding.Read more...

Nanda & Lee were married at Casa de Santa Teresa right in the heart of Rio de Janeiro. Although they followed some tradition, for example in Brazil its traditional for each bridesmaid to wear a different colour, they wanted to put their own stamp on their big day.Read more...

Jeff & Andy had a Jewish wedding at The Legendary Park Plaza Hotel, Los Angeles which turned out to be a very special venue for Jeff's family. "After we had signed the contract with the venue, we found out from a relative that Jeff’s great-grandfather lived at the Park Plaza, when it was an Elks Lodge, for a short time in the 1940's."Read more...

Raminta & Giedrius' engagement shoot took place at Giedrius' Grandparent's house in a forest in Lithuania. The groom spent many a-summer here during his childhood so it really meant a lot to him to have the shoot here. The couple are from Denmark and traveled to Lithuania especially for this shoot. They found award-winning photographer Svetlana Batura to be perfect for the job. What wonderful images they created!Read more...

"Our inspiration came from our wish to have a wedding that was different to any we had been to and our main focus for the day was to try and make it as fun as possible for all the guests," newlywed Jo wrote. "We wanted to have an informal day that just felt like a party. We both like antique decorations and I have always wanted a vintage dress because I wanted something different and not something that you might see someone else wearing at another wedding. I also loved the idea of my dress having a history and making someone else day special before mine. In the same way as I love the fact that the diamond in my engagement ring belonged to Charlie’s Great-Grandmother."Read more...

Oh my...where do I even begin? I feel so terribly ineloquent as it comes to writing the experience of the Feather Love London Workshop. Like the words don't know how to clump themselves together in my mind to make coherent sentences...So you know what, I've decided not to go through the teeny details of the day. Instead I plan to inwardly digest everything I soaked up from Noa & guest speaker Emma Case that day and (probably) come back to you later with a grand old revelation. If not, I know you're going to just die over the styled shoot we put together as part of the workshop. Bet you haven't seen a wedding like this before!Read more...

Just a quickie post today to remind you that I, alongside a number of other wedding bloggers, will be at the Designer Vintage Bridal Show in Birmingham (UK) on Saturday 8th and Sunday 9th October. I've got a few little treats planned and I'm even bringing Gareth & Roo along for this one. We'll be like one big Rock n Roll Bride family!Read more...

I'm officially dying over this wedding. Overly dramatic maybe but oh Lordy how beautiful is everything? Emi sure has that ethereal look down. Her Baby Ceylon gown (found on eBay) and vintage veil combo is just perfect...and don't even get me started on her short evening dress by Jones + Jones and Jeffrey Campbell American Flag boots. Seriously... The DIY wedding was held at Blo Norton Hall in London (its hard to believe this place is in the city!) The humanist ceremony took place 5 years to they day that the couple met. After the touching ceremony, the speeches were held outside in the beautiful grounds. The informal wedding breakfast was also held outside.Read more...

Oh South Africa you do have some beautiful light...and how lucky are Zigi & Warren to have had Shanna Jones Photography to capture it so magically? "We wanted a different wedding that represented our style," Zigi told me. "Something that was unique to us as a couple. Warren is into Cars/Bikes & Fashion. I am into Food/Art/design…and unfortunately cars too. We decided to do a Road trip to our destination (this is something we do often & is actually part of our lives). The plan was to do it over 4 days & 3 nights to ensure we really don’t miss anything, but also get the time to spend with the various groups of people. The plan was that the entire group would get to know each other by being in the same town for 3 nights. This would mean on the wedding night we can just hang!! Quite a few of our friends are muscle car collectors – so about 10 cars drove up (where others brought their off-road bikes to go into the mountains)."Read more...

Faith & Chris were married at Camp Brockway in Pratt's Falls, NY. The theme of the day revolved around birds, but more than that it revolved around the love and the fact that the two of them were committing their lives to each other. After a touching outdoor ceremony, the couple enjoyed some time having their photos taken by Love Me Do Photography.Read more...

The bride's love of all things indie, unusual, hand made, recycled and upcycled was the catalyst to the theme of this creative wedding. After a hand-tying ceremony, where their friends and family all added a strip of fabric to their hands, Mel & Carl invited their friends & family to a laid back and family-central wedding reception.Read more...
