These beautifully gritty wedding images were shot at an abandoned warehouse in Badajoz, Spain. Wedding photographer Jesus Caballero explains, "I had an idea to shoot an urban wedding shoot. I wanted lots of black and a simple table arrangement. Imagined this wedding to be very informal."Read more...

In thirty days I will be thirty years old. If I'm honest I haven't been particularly thrilled about hitting the big 3-0. People have been telling me how much I'll love it, how your thirties are so much better than your twenties etc etc, but I dunno, the latter part of this last decade has been pretty fucking fabulous.Read more...

You are not how many Twitter followers you have, Facebook likes you've gained or the emails sitting in your inbox. You are not more important when you're busy or in-demand. You are not the money in your bank, the expensive clothes in your wardrobe, the house in the right area or the fancy car in the driveway.Read more...

Today's DIY hair tutorial is actually quite a classic bridal hairstyle. But funk it up with your most fabulous accessories and it can be anything but! This is the third tutorial from my collaboration with Your Cloud Parade and 10.11 Make Up (you can see last week's hidden braid and the previous week's faux hawk here!)Read more...

January can be a slower month for those of us that work in the wedding industry. Less people get married in winter and so for many industry professionals this is the time when they can stretch their legs and do some experimenting. This is exactly what my friend Lisa Devlin wanted to do when she started to plan this gothic wedding shoot.Read more...

Cathie and Claire were hitched at Glenmore House. Their wedding was bright and full of fun! The pair both rocked amazing outfits, Claire in a red Candy Anthony dress and headpiece and Cathie in a corset from Fairy Gothmother and trousers by Vivienne Westwood. At their reception they had a popcorn cart, bunting, vintage suitcase for cards and vintage vases and jam jars for the flowers with tea lights.Read more...

One of the highlights of my recent trip to Palm Springs was visiting The Saguaro, the famous rainbow hotel. In fact our friends Allie and Christina booked in here just so we could stop by and take photos!Read more...

Bex and Scott had a two day wedding, on 16th and 17th September 2013. They wanted a long celebration so they could get married twice! The first day was the legal ceremony followed by a low-key after party. On day two they went all out with a handfasting ceremony, a tractor ride for the guests and a facepainter!Read more...

Feeling overwhelmed because of your dependence to all things digital is, undoubtedly, the curse of the modern era. And we're all guilty of it. I don't know about you, but when I look at my personal dependency it's particularly scary.Read more...

Jakob and Zoey were married in Melbourne in November. Their reception was at Thornbury Bowls Club. The whole day was a really casual affair. The bride and her bridesmaids all wore vintage dresses and the whole day had a 1950s vibe. They were even married by Elvis!Read more...

If there's one thing that makes me happy more than anything else it's lots and lots of colour! So, obviously, Carly and Jason's wedding was right up my street! The couple were married on Pebble Beach, under the Brooklyn Bridge and their reception was held at Dumbo Loft. Carly's incredible sunset ombre dress was, unbelievably, from ASOS!Read more...

The work of South African wedding photographer Jacki Bruniquel never fails to blow me away. The way she captures things is so unique and wonderful, I love looking at weddings through her eyes. So I was thrilled when Robin and Tamarin's gorgeous day landed in my inbox. Not only did Jacki's beautiful photographs make my heart go a-flutter, but the wedding itself is too gorgeous for words! If you're looking for some really organic and nature-inspired wedding ideas then this one is for you...Read more...

Well, that's a blog title I never thought I'd write! I have to admit, when I received these photos from Fiji based (but will travel!) wedding photographers Kama Catch Me, I was initally dubious. "Oh this will be a weird one", I thought. Well, I actually wasn't wrong... but it's weird in the most awesome way!Read more...

Helen and Toby's rainbow wedding took place at Coombes Farm in Lancing. The didn't have a huge budget, £8000, but they made it go far with plenty of personal touches and DIY projects. The cakes, flowers and stationery were all done by friends and they didn't hire a fancy caterer to feed their guests. Instead of gifts they asked their guests to each bring their favourite dish!Read more...

Today I'm sharing the second hair tutorial from my collaboration with Your Cloud Parade and 10.11 Make Up (you can see last week's faux hawk here!) This is a elegant and ethereal a half up, half down hidden braid style would be perfect for boho or casual brides. And I promise it's not as complicated as it sounds! The best bit? It uses all the same supplies and products as last week's tutorial so if you tooled up for that one you can now give this one a bash too!Read more...

This week has been hard, one of the most emotionally draining I've had in a long time. I've cried a lot, I've stared at my computer screen not knowing what to do, I've told people I love them more than I ever have before.Read more...

When my favourite vintage wedding dress shop launched their own, self designed, collection based on vintage styles (but able to be sized up to a Uk size 22!) I was super excited to be able to host an exclusive competition for one of my readers to win one. Alongside Fur Coat No Knickers founders and designers Emma and Laura, I read every single entry, eventually picking the gorgeous Diana as our winner. Her story touched our hearts and we were all so honoured to be able to fulfil her dream to feel beautiful on her wedding day.Read more...

Alfred Angelo, America’s oldest and largest family-owned and operated bridal company, was founded by Alfred Angelo Piccione in Philadelphia. Since 1933 they have been designing wedding attire for brides of all tastes, styles and budgets. So when they got in touch asking if I'd like to showcase some of their quirkier styles on my blog, I jumped at the chance. After all, that's what I do best!Read more...
