Jenny and Steve were married at The Electric Cinema, the UKs oldest cinema, in Birmingham. "We'd have loved to have a festival style wedding", said the bride. "We love going to festivals, seeing live music and I'm a big hippy at heart. However due to our budget and in the light of keeping things simple and as stress-free as possible, we had to ditch this idea."Read more...

Ben and Rosie's fun-filled July wedding has a summer festival and retro kitsch vibe. "Above everything, we wanted our day to be fun," said the bride. "It hard to pick one theme because it just turned out being everything that was rattling around in my brain! However we were inspired by the 1950s and 60s and anything cute and handmade."Read more...

Oh Danni and Ben, your wedding gives me LIFE. I am so excited to share it on the blog today. This gorgeous heavily-tattooed pair were hitched in Maidstone, at a venue called Kent Life. "Our wedding theme was a bit of a mixture of 1950s, rural farm life and a tea party!" said Danni. "We love the 1950s anyway, I have a huge collection of dresses already and we just love the music and the dancing. I really love that our wedding was personal to us and wasn't generic."Read more...

Running your own business is probably one of the best things ever, but the fact that you don't get a Christmas party along with the rest of society is very sad indeed! So my fellow self-employed babes and I are planning on throwing our own cocktail, cava and Mexican food shindig this weekend. It's going to be epic and of course there's only one thing on my mind... finding a brand new outfit!Read more...

Kirsty met Oz when she went to work in his tattoo studio. "We're both tattoo artists and after several months of working together it became apparent that we were meant to be together", she told me. "Two years in, Oz popped the question. We spoke about our big day regularly, and we saved and saved like mad. After 12 months we decided to bite the bullet and book a date and venue. We continued to save and had some generous donations from loved ones to help us on our way."Read more...
