Alexandr and Ekaterina’s wedding took place in their hometown of Penza in Russia. They wanted their day to be just like a fairytale.
“We wanted a no-frills wedding”, wrote the bride. “Something light and summery. We wanted our guests to feel like they were about to go on holiday! Our theme was a mix of old school tattoos, wings, roses, birds and feathers. We were also influenced by summer, nature, freedom… what could be better?”
The ceremony was held in the woods. They set up the chairs, and the red rose and feather ceremony backdrop and then carpeted the aisle with pure white feathers. AMAZING!
Russohota , in Russia. “The most memorable moment of the day was our friend’s drum solo on plastic buckets and basins!” she explained, “that kept us all dancing! My dress was ordered from Thailand, and it came in even cheaper than my groom’s attire. I wore it with a denim jacket I already owned.”
“There is nothing we’d change about our wedding, we were delighted by all of it. If you plan a wedding that is creative and full of love it will always be a unique and memorable day!”

Abigail and Lisa's wedding was eco, natural and laid back.

South African Woodland Wedding: Terri & Brad

Terri and Brad had a woodland themed wedding in - surprisingly - a woodland! The venue for both their ceremony and reception was the Pecanwood Estate. "We wanted our wedding to be casual and symbolise the reason for celebrating the day, which was our love for each other", explained Terri. "Our budget was small and wanted to utilise things that we already had or things that we could make out of wood or paper keep it simple. The theme was based around swallows because they symbolise our love for each other. The day before Brad proposed to me we were at a tattoo convention in Cape Town and he suggested we get matching swallow tattoos. Swallows choose a mate for life, and will only nest with that bird and no other, we had them placed on his hand and my wrist as if they were flying into each other."

Noel & Dee's Cork wedding had a laid back, bohemian vibe and was held at Ballyvolane House. The ceremony was held outside in the woods. "The owners of Ballyvolane House, Justin & Jenny Green and their wedding coordinator Breffne McKenna organised our ceremony and reception flawlessly", began the bride. "We didn't have to worry or think about anything on the day as everything went so smoothly. Even when our celebrant didn't show up, there was no issue as Justin stood in to conduct our ceremony in the woods. This made it even more special. Our guests didn't know any different, and just assumed Justin was the celebrant until he came around during the reception with a tray of champagne. Some of the guests commented that we were really getting our money's worth out of him! We can't thank them enough for going above and beyond in every way."

"I wasn't the kind of girl who had dreamed about her wedding day since the age of five", began newlywed Leah who married Simon earlier this year, "and being engaged on December 20th and getting married on March 31st didn't give us a whole lot of time to plan anyway. So I found myself in a little deep at first, but a few days into discussing ideas, we realized how cool it was to be able to create an event from the things we love - nature, the woods, rustic details. Daily life delivers you many inspirational things, and having eclectic tastes we knew it wouldn't be a cookie cutter or 'paint by numbers' kinda wedding."
