All You Need is Love

September 19, 2018

Emma and Kevin wanted their wedding celebrations to reflect their lives, 'as if you'd just walked into their house', and I think they totally nailed it. A relaxed barn ceremony, a navy (non) wedding dress from Dorothy Perkins, and their two lurchers made their day super personalised and absolutely perfect for them. Bucking loads of traditions - which Emma wisely says "carry too much symbolic baggage", they got married on a Tuesday to save money. Oh, and they also had a beer blessing. So, y'know...

If this elopement had a soundtrack, it'd be a very emotional rendition of You Take My Breath Away mixed with the Game of Thrones theme tune. Jess and Sam's beautiful wedding is a genuine breath-taker, as they got married at Glendhu Bay Lookout, which looks over the Mount Aspiring National Park. Fittingly, I am now aspiring to get to this national park, stat. Then, they took a helicopter ride to Fog Peak and, well, the photos speak for themselves.

Free the Bird

Ella and Michael's wedding is the wedding of plant lovers' dreams. Their venue was the Glasshaus, a plant nursery based in Melbourne, and their styling was simple, green and nerdy - in the most breathtaking way! It's so beautiful I'd even brave the 42°C heat (yep, celsius, you read that right; Ella and Michael got married on the hottest day of the year) to be there, and that's coming from a girl who complains at 22 degrees. But enough about me - let's talk about this STUNNER of a big day, shall we?

Diana and Vlad's wedding was an actual dreamland, and I don't think you're prepared for what your eyes are about to feast upon. They had three parts to their wedding and each was as incredible as the last: first, their gothic Romanian city hall wedding; a week later, their "Harry Potter in the mountains" themed reception; and finally an after-wedding photo session in Ireland, where they now live. It is just delicious from start to finish.

Through The Woods We Ran

August 9, 2018

Sarah and Shaun's boho movie-inspired wedding is incredible, for many reasons. Their venue, Rich Mix Cinema, looked like SO MUCH FUN,  and their styling was sensational (any couple who gets married in front of Leonardo DiCaprio's face on a screen is a winner in my eyes). But above the awesome alternative styling and the delicious photos from faves Through The Woods We Ran, Sarah and Shaun's wedding is amazing because of their story and their planning approach in the face of major adversity
