Nature Inspired Meadow Wedding with Skinny-Dipping!

in Wedding. Written by Photos by

Katherine and Jason’s wedding was like something out of a movie, and was a real community effort. They rented a cabin for all their guests to stay in the week before. The day itself started with a first look, right by the water, followed by an intimate and nature-inspired ceremony. They served burritos and dessert bought from Costo and the day ended with them skinny dipping!

Most of all the wanted their day to feel personal to them. The field they were married in was buzzing with bees. They kept the decorations simple, instead focusing on the people they love that were there with them.

Gothic Castle Ruins Wedding

in British Brides, Wedding. Written by Photos by

Karen and Dean were married in the ruins of Ettington Park‘s chapel in October. Their day had a gothic theme which was reflected in the bride’s choice of black wedding dress (made by The Couture Company), their Black Cherry Cake Company cake and all the decorations. They used skeletons, trailing ivy, dramatic candelabras with black candles and purple and black flowers.

They were helped a lot by their friends too. “We were inspired by our love of goth and rock music”, said the bride. “We had friends who made lots of decorations that were spread around the venue. Tony Iommi from Black Sabbath and his wife Maria attended as they are very good friends of ours too.”

Golden Hour Desert Elopement Inspiration

in Styled Photo Shoots. Written by Photos by

So this might not be a real wedding, in fact it was a photo shoot done in about 20 minutes before they lost the light, but I think you’ll agree it’s gorgeous enough to warrant a feature. In fact I may love these shots more than some of my own wedding photos – ha! Prepare to be INSPIRED.

Asura and Ivo, a real couple (because obviously, I mean you can’t really fake this kind of chemistry!) were asked by photographer, Jasmin, to model for her after she found them on Instagram. They’re both from Angola in Africa but they met and now live together in Tucson.

Laid Back Woodland Wedding with an Embroidered Floral Dress

in British Brides, Wedding. Written by Photos by

Rosie and Alex’s beautiful early summer wedding was held at Hothorpe Hall in Leicestershire. The fantastic thing about their venue was that they were able to be married outside in the woodlands, like they always wanted. This helped to set the theme of their day.

“The theme unfolded from the venue and the stunning woodland setting”, explained Rosie. “I had always had a secret dream to get married outside and the when we saw The Woodlands I knew this could be possible. Al and I are country bumpkins at heart, what with trees, a babbling brook and cabin-style accommodation, the venue had it all. Also it is only 10 minutes from our home, making it perfect for the majority of our guests.”

“I started collecting bits and bobs as soon as we got engaged, and things grew from there. My good friend Millie (who also made our cake) helped to decorate our venue with beautiful flowers – she has such an eye for detail and after the ceremony I saw what she had added and I was blown away by what she added to the dĂ©cor.”

A Ghanaian Prince Marries his Italian Princess

in Engagement. Written by Photos by

Engagement shoots don’t get any better than this. Taking place in Italy, where the couple live, it just screams love, happiness and damn good style. Isn’t that what being a Rock n Roll bride is all about!?

Griffith, from one of the noble families of the GA tribe of Accra, Ghana, met Ilaria in Rome through a mutual friend. Three years later he asked her to marry him. They wanted to celebrate their engagement with some beautiful, fun and colourful photographs taken in their own flat in Italy. They also shot down by the beach, as they both love the sea.

Ilaria’s GORGEOUS pink gown was handmade for her and all of Griffith’s accessories came from Ghana. Ilaria’s engagement ring was handmade by a little independant jewellers in Ghana as well.

If there’s one thing I hear over and over again from the brides in our private Facebook group, it’s that they’re sick of only seeing the same traditional wedding dresses in every boutique they visit. They want designs that are different, quirky and colourful! They want to support independent designers and they want to find a unique gown, veil or piece of jewellery to help them feel like the bad ass bride that they are.

Bricks and mortar boutiques are not always the best place for alternative babes to find the wedding dress of their dreams, which is why so many of you flock to the internet for your search. And today, I’m about to blow that inspo wide open by introducing you to a brand new online bridal marketplace.

All of the featured designers have to apply or be invited to sell on the platform meaning you know you’ll always be buying from a company you can trust too.

The main products they carry are wedding gowns, bridesmaid dresses, jewellery, accessories (such as veils, headpieces, sashes and garters) and underwear and loungewear for the big day.
