Stephanie and Ryan were married at the bride's parent's home. They wanted a budget-friendly DIY day which was themed around their favourite colours. "I had always wanted a beautiful deep navy/ blue as my wedding colour theme", the bride told us. "This happened to suit Ryan too with his red hair and blue eyes. As we started looking for bridesmaid dresses we found these beautiful marigold coloured ones and fell in love.

They even had candles and sparklers at the table which looked amazing!

If the thought of being the centre of attention on your wedding day fills you with nervous dread, then let me open up a world of new possibilities for you. Cat and Paul did things to suit them - completely. Not being a girly, girl or ever wearing dresses, two weeks before the wedding the bride decided to go with what made her feel comfortable. That meant wearing jeans, and not doing a 'grand entrance'. She didn't walk down the aisle at all, in fact there was no aisle. She and Paul greeted their guests together as they arrived.
