A wedding created in soft colours with lots of texture.

Sharon & Orion had a load of fun at their Nottingham wedding, getting around in a pedi-cab, and the ushers and bridesmaids following behind on tamdens… The subtle tones they chose for flowers and bridesmaid dresses combine perfectly with the texture of Sharon’s dress.

Claire & Joe’s August wedding reflected the rustic surroundings with the wildflower dispays and touches of home-made charm in the details. All their family and friends got together to create a day full of personal charm. As a photographer herself, Claire trusted friends to capture the day – it can often make for a more relaxed and personal style as your friends know you well…

“Flowers came from a local wholesaler and were agapanthus, lavender, freesia, astrantia, blue scabious and gypsophila (for the country look)  shamrock crysanths, pale pink large roses, white akito roses.  Agapanthus were amazing.  They are also called African Lily and matched the bridesmaids perfectly.”

Vintage wedding ideas are becoming more popular. Why not have a wedding with a tea party theme…

Personally Tea has been part of my heritage as my Dad is a tea taster for a major brand, and my parents are from Yorkshire and drink gallons of the stuff. Between our wedding and reception we held a tea party in the church hall so we could invite a larger number of people. Friends and family brought a plethora of cakes and we were served tea by the Mothers Union.

Here are some ideas to whet your appetite...   More...

It is getting exciting now with just one month to go. RSVP’s will be coming in so you can start sorting table plans and numbers. Start finalising details and getting the plans in order.

You should have final numbers shortly so you can clarify details with the venue and caterer. Start communicating your plans to the wedding party so they know what you would like them to look after on the day – remember you will not be running round with a clip-board on the day so your wedding party take that from you...

The final straight... make sure you spend time together this week to talk about what you are about to do and remind each other why you are doing it. It can be all too easy to get caught up in plans...
