When I published an article 18 months ago about how I rescued my bleach ravaged hair, I never knew it would be so popular! In fact it still gets traffic and comments every single day from people struggling to fix what constant bleaching has done to their tresses. While everything I wrote in that post still stands, I have discovered a few new wonder-products recently so I thought it was high time for an update.

Traditional Meets Modern Rock n Roll Wedding

Bridgwood Wedding

October 19, 2015

There were parts of Becky and Stewart's wedding that were traditional - the grand manor house, the toastmaster, the order of the day, and others that couldn't have been more Rock n Roll. The bride wore an incredible blush pink wedding dress and veil, their portraits featured smokebombs, and there were nods to their mutual love of music throughout. This wedding goes to prove that you can intertwine the wedding traditions that you like with the alternative elements that you crave and it will still totally work!

Carmen and Doug were initially dreading the wedding planning process, but when they realised that didn't have to do the traditional stuff, it became so much fun! "I had these images in my mind of priests, Hilton convention centres, big shiny bridesmaid dresses and drunk cousins", Carmen said. "Then I realised that our wedding could be whatever we wanted it to be, and I found the whole process really fun. Drunk cousins made an appearance, of course, but it was still fun!"

Andrew and Caroline had an eclectic themed wedding in a tipi on a farm. They knew exactly the kind of wedding they wanted and they hired fantastic suppliers to bring their ideas to life! "Our wedding was a gorgeously unique quirky vintage wedding with boho vibes and laidback funkiness!" explained the groom, "After our church ceremony we had our reception in a tipi at Bassettwood Farm in Tissington. We looked at many venues but the farm was perfect for the kind of wedding we wanted. We wanted a relaxed day that flowed without stress or forced constriction and that is exactly what happened."

Milly and Willo wanted a big party for their wedding, full of colour, fun and surrounded by everyone they love. They both love classic cars so the hot rod theme kind of happened accidentally!

The Style-Conscious Choice: Bridal Jumpsuits from House of Ollichon

Kat

October 14, 2015

Even before Solange Knowles looked incredible at her 2014 wedding, jumpsuits have been filtering through to bridal fashion in a major way. Dresses aren't for every one, so why should you be expected to don a bright, white frock just because you're walking down the aisle? For the babe who is looking for something really different, a jumpsuit may well be just what you've been searching for!

October 13, 2015

When it came to organising their wedding, Jess and Tony had one thing in mind - family. This was their second time around (yes, they married each other twice!!) and this time they wanted to do things completely on their own terms. "Our wedding was shabby, ethereal, vintage, pin-up, country and quirky", explained the bride. "Basically, it was anything but normal!"

Patrick and Hazel love the 1950s and rockabilly style so they wanted to bring this into their day. When watching Grease one day, the bride also decided she needed a carousel at the wedding!

Happy Thursday babes! I hope you've all had a fabulous week, even if the weather has been as shithouse around your parts as it has been around mine. It's definitely Autumn now huh!?

Juliana Laury

October 8, 2015

There was one thing more important to Jamie and Zach than anything else at their wedding - family. "We wanted all of our loved ones with us to make a day full of amazing memories". said the bride. "Having our grandmothers as our flower girls was by far the best decision we made. My mother also walked me down the aisle."

Five Reasons Why Our Wedding Entertainment Sucked (& How You Can Avoid Doing the Same)

Kat

October 7, 2015

There's very little I would fundamentally change about our wedding. Sure, the styling would be very different if Gareth and I were to get married now, but in terms of how the day played out, it was petty much faultless. Except for one big thing - our entertainment. Having never booked a live band before in my life, I had no idea what we were looking for. So when a friend of my mother's said she went to a wedding recently where the band we're "great" and they came in under the budget we'd set aside for them, I was sold. "Easy", I thought, "that's another thing ticked off our ridiculously long to do list."

Scaring The Shit Out of Myself in Sweden

Kat

October 5, 2015

There are certain things that come up in my line of work that I think "You know what, I really should do this, but I'm terrified." It happened when I quit my full time job, when I first travelled across the world on my own and when we decided to start our own publishing company... And it happened again when I was invited to speak at Way Up North, Europe's first wedding photography summit being held in Stockholm. Although I was scared, I found myself saying yes. I mean being asked to be in a line-up with some of the most amazing wedding photographers on the planet is kind of a big deal. I would have been a fool to turn it down.

Retro & Kitsch Wedding at the Madonna Inn

Heyday

October 5, 2015

The iconic Madonna Inn in San Luis Obispo, California, was the perfect setting for Jasmine and Kyle's retro wedding in August. They wanted their wedding to reflect the 50s and 60s - an era that they both love - as well as to be colourful, pastel, kitschy and easy-going.
