Ana and Chris met on OK Cupid, bonding quickly over their mutual love of travel. Ana was actually Chris' first online date and six years later they were married! They wanted their day to be non-traditional, full of colour and to have lots of nods to recent travels (Ana's dress had custom embroidered patches on it of things directly inspired by some locations they've visited together – Easter Island, Singapore, Mexico… and of course, London, where they now live).

Lonely Hunter Weddings

March 8, 2024

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. The colour scheme then shifted to include marigolds and yellow/orange tones as well as all the blue."

Jeff and Karla's wedding in Los Angeles was the epitome of Southern Californian casual charm. Their golden-hour palette combined the beauty of a late-summer sunset with the backdrop of the Verdugo mountains. They also included some accessibility features, such as a sign language interpreter during the ceremony, to ensure all their guests were able to enjoy the day. They had lawn games and plenty of room for the kids to run about and play.

With a budget of just £4,000, they pulled off both an intimate family wedding at the registry office, and then a few days later a bit party for everyone else. "We chose to get married around Halloween as it's my favourite time of year", Claire told us, "I also wanted to bring in my love for all things celestial."

Colourful Mid-Century Inspired Wedding with the Bride in her Nana’s Dress

Sioned Abuan

January 23, 2024

Held at Zephyr Lodge in Liberty Lake, WA, Kendra and Adam wanted a colourful, retro inspired wedding which they discovered was actually pretty unique for their area. In the Pacific Northwest the wedding default seems to be moody, muted and rustic, but they wanted the opposite! It made it pretty difficult to build the bright colourful wedding of their dreams at times, but luckily (with a bit of help from Rock n Roll Bride!) they were finally able to find some like-minded vendors who were thrilled to be a part of their day.

Describing their wedding theme as "relaxed, welcoming and a little bit farmy", Erin and Adrian ultimately aimed for a down-to-earth and relaxed atmosphere. Their love for nature and passion for sustainability played a significant role in shaping the day, from their outdoor ceremony, their use of native flowers and even the bride's sustainable dress, which was made from the fabric of the one her mother wore when she got married.
