Can you guess what initially drew me to Marie-Claire & Nick’s wedding? Yep…her Fur Coat No Knickers vintage wedding dress of course! Marie-Claire also got her wonderful vintage veil from the store and her shoes from Rachel Simpson (yep, another one of my favourites!)
“I guess I didn’t want a regular corporate feel wedding with lilies, tight white roses and a white bodice dress!” Marie-Claire told me when I asked her what inspired their wedding. “So I had a look around for alternative things and found Fur Coat No Knickers and my red dress!”
“From there I decided I’d like something quite vintage and low key. We tried to use suppliers which were in our area to keep it local – all the flowers came from a mile up the road and the singer Kirsty Macleod is one of our neighbours. Nick’s Mum also made chutney as favours for our wedding and his brother designed the label. Our invitations came from Dottie Creations (you can see them here.)”
Thank you so much to Marie-Claire & Nick and of course their wonderful photographer Annamarie Stepney for sharing this wedding with us today.

omg. I NEED that dress! Those Chutneys are a wonderful idea for favours, lovely wedding 🙂
My kind of wedding – just gorgeous.
As always, vintage is my favourite way to go. Beautiful job!
This is so beautiful. I love everything about it! Gorgeous dress and so lovely to see a couple so obviously enjoying their wedding day.
An interesting theme. Not seen a dress like it at any of the weddings that we have covered.
Beautiful looking day,fantastically style. Love the bold colour. Great images 🙂
Could this be any more perfect? That tent is from a dream.
I love the bride’s red dress! Very eco-chic since you can get more uses out of it. Also, I love all the vintage elements, especially the china.
I love these, the dress, sure, not traditional, but the red of that and the blue suit work really well. Really cool!!!!!
Love the colors and the vintage aspect of this wedding. The detail shots are exquisite!
Thank you Jenny for your lovely compliments!
And thank you Rocknroll bride for featuring this beautiful wedding. It was a real stunner 🙂
