Choosing The Riverside Glasshouse in Leamington Spa as their venue, Kim and Chris tied the knot in a celebration that was inspired by their love of vintage and DIY with a tropical and Tiki twist. The day stood out with meticulously curated retro-tropical theme, and all the amazing Americana and mid-century modern decor… all of which they made themselves! “We were introduced to Tiki culture initially from visiting Disney’s Trader Sam’s Enchanted Tiki Bar, Enchanted Tiki Room, and Polynesian Village Resort, discovering more about it online, and visiting other Tiki Bars like Trader Vic’s in Lon ..read more

Wedding day jitters aren’t to be taken lightly. The guilt, the self-doubt, the midnight anxiety. You know what? Let’s just say it how it is, you’re going through some serious shit here. So, for the next few minutes, I’m gonna try and be as positive, calm and reassuring as possible. Like someone might talk to a horse that’s about to bolt. Easy, boy. Eaasssy *strokes nose* First of all, don’t feel guilty about feeling nervous. It doesn’t in any way mean you love your partner any less. Nervous is normal. If I got the job of Head Red Wine & Cheddar Guzzler at Sainsbury’s, I’d be vibrating wit ..read more

The day was intimate and romantic with influences of Moulin Rouge. After the ceremony they and their loved ones went to Pepe’s Italian & Liquor for a dinner in a private room. “I have always been obsessed with Moulin Rouge since I was a kid, I would make up dances (not really knowing what any of the lyrics meant)”, Elisha told us. “I always knew the ..read more

Sammi and Anton are having a big wedding in August on a private island in the Philippines, but as they live in London, they needed to do the legal bit here. So, they decided to make a day of it – inviting their closest family for a ceremony (on their anniversary) at Camden Register Office, dressing up and getting some great photos! “Our big wedding will be gothy and nerdy”, the bride told us. “This wedding was kind of a last minute decision, but we still tried to make it so we stayed true to who we are.

Any couple planning their wedding can exercise control over the napkins, the choice of wine, the four different flavour combinations of the cake. But, how can we properly prepare ourselves for one of the scariest monsters a couple can contend with at their wedding… the nightmare guest? According to the countless weddings I have observed as a wedding singer, the many I have attended as a guest, and the one wedding I have planned myself (my own) … these gargoyle guests come in many sizes, shapes and forms. We could be talking about a ghoulish grandmother, who gnashes her teeth and shows her cla ..read more

Kevin and Larissa’s wedding was held in Wambacher Mühle, an old mill museum, in Schlangenbad, Germany. Rescheduled three times due to COVID, third time was certainly lucky charm for this pair and they eventually tied the knot on the 23rd June 2023. “Each postponement, while disheartening, only strengthened our bond and our desire to celebrate our love with all our dear ones,” shared Larissa. “In Germany we say ‘all good things come in threes’ and so it was with our wedding. We decided to let this be the slogan of the day”. They even ended the night by both getting a 23 tattoo! Their theme h ..read more

The Asylum Chapel is one of the coolest alternative ceremony spaces in London, and as soon as they walked in, Elisa and Will knew it was the place for them. The day was relaxed, personal, informal and intimate. However, their main inspiration was to create an inclusive day. “Our goal was to create a day that was inclusive and personal, where everyone felt part of our journey, regardless of their beliefs, “Elisa shared. “We wanted to celebrate without relying on religion but not at the cost of excluding any of our guests who were religious, or otherwise. We tailored the ceremony based on how w ..read more

With a total budget of just £2,000, Riley and Liam’s wedding is a masterclass in how you don’t have to spend a fortune to get married! They had a small ceremony with just a couple of guests, at York Register Office followed by dinner at Fancy Hanks, an American bar and kitchen in the city. “We wanted as little chaos as possible”, Riley told us. “We’re quite laid back people, so we wanted a no fuss wedding! Also, as it was a small wedding, we didn’t want to create a theme or a huge amount of work – we originally had a larger wedding booked with a theme and colours involved, however we later o ..read more

Your wedding should be a reflection of you and your partner, that’s step one when it comes to planning a rock n’ roll wedding!
