Not everything around your wedding has to be “Pinterest-worthy”. In fact, we’re here to champion something we’re calling the anti-aesthetic wedding movement. Reject the curated feeds, the staged set ups, and the endless pressure to make your wedding look like somebody else’s.

The anti-aesthetic wedding movement is about putting personality before perfection. It’s about wearing the thing you love, not the thing that photographs best or is the most ‘flattering’. It’s about food that tastes good, not food that matches the colour palette. It’s about celebrating the blurry photos, the chaos, and the unmatched wild energy that happens when you bring everyone you love into one room together.

Let’s stop treating weddings like styled shoots or a content creation exercise. Embrace the unplanned interruptions, the awkward speeches, the aunt who gets too drunk and insisted on doing karaoke – even the photos that aren’t quite perfect. This is the stuff you’ll actually remember, this is the stuff that actually gives your wedding its heart.
