Colourful Woodland Adventure Wedding: Beckie & Paul

Kat

Silverstar Photographic

December 16, 2013

You are going to love Beckie and Paul's wedding. From Beckie's amazing pink and teal corset and skirt combo to her purple and green hair, and their amazing DIY details including the knitted faux taxidermy bust centrepieces (!!) this really is a crazy creative wedding with a difference. The ceremony was held at Blackfriars Priory in Gloucestershire and the reception at the quirky Over Barn which came complete with farm animals and a bowling lane!

Mermaids and Rock n Roll By the Sea: Winona & Dave

Ryan MacDonald

December 15, 2013

Winona and Dave were married on a friend's property in Maple Bay, on Vancouver Island. This venue really set the tone of their day, with personal touches throughout. The overall theme was a 1950s rockabilly seaside with pops of nautical, mermaids and Rock n Roll!

Etsy Christmas Gift Guide: Skulls

Kat

December 13, 2013

If there's one thing in competition for my love of all things sparkly, its anything with a skull on it... much to my mother and my husband's dismay! I'm not sure where this slightly macabre fascination came from but if there's something in a shop in the shape of a skull I am instantly drawn to it.

Thursday Treats: Now Including Business Bites!

Kat

December 12, 2013

With the new year just around the corner, I've been reviewing how I do certain things and seeing how I can make improvements going into 2014. One of the smaller changes I've decided to make is to merge Thursday Treats with Friday's Business Bites post. I've decided that dedicating a whole blog post slot to a second links round up article is a bit of a waste and so instead I'll now be posting either a second Green Room article each week on a Friday afternoon or another real wedding feature! You're very welcome.

Epic Handmade Barn Wedding: Lauren & Dean

Kat

Love and Perry

December 12, 2013

Lauren and Dean wanted their wedding to be a big party for everyone, but mostly one that they'd really love to go to! They handmade pretty much everything ("I think I burned off my fingertips with hot glue over those few months" Lauren laughed) and hosted it on a private properly in Granville, MA.

Intimate Beach Ceremony in France: Anna & Jarrah

Kat

Pretty Days

December 11, 2013

No matter how many weddings I feature, or how many cool, quirky and original décor and details I see, it is always the simple and emotional, small weddings, that really slay me. Elopements, intimate ceremonies, the great outdoors. Anna and Jarrah did exactly this, travelling from their home in Australia to a beach in France, with just their parents and very best friends in attendance.

Laid Back Calgary Art Gallery and Pub Wedding: Deanna & Mike

Kat

Blair Marie

December 11, 2013

Deanna and Mike were married in an art gallery in Calgary and their reception was in their favourite pub. They wanted their day to be fun for themselves and their guests so they kept things relatively simple, with minimal decorations, and just focused on the stuff that really mattered to them.

Rainbow Summer Camp Wedding: Sara & Joe

Kat

Blushing Bride Studio

December 10, 2013

As soon as I saw Sara's incredible rainbow dress I just knew I had to feature this wedding. I mean, goodness, any bride that rocks a dress like that is guaranteed to have an amazing wedding. I wasn't wrong! The day was held at Camp Kinkora in Montreal where the bride used to go to summer camp as a kid.

Honeymoon Travel Guide: Swimming with the Fishes on The Great Barrier Reef

December 9, 2013

One of my ultimate highlights of my trip to Queensland was snorkelling on the Great Barrier Reef. It wasn't something that I ever thought I'd have the opportunity to experience and I nearly squealed with delight when I found out that it was on our itinerary.

Edgy and Elegant Phoenix Hotel Wedding: Evan & Catherine

Kat

Encarnacion

December 9, 2013

Evan and Catherine were married at the iconic Phoenix Hotel in San Francisco and their reception was at the super cool Chambers Eat + Drink. They wanted a wedding that was edgy yet elegant - just like them! The venues they chose really helped to set that mood. "After a long search for wedding venues, we were feeling uninspired", Catherine began. "Pricey and cookie cutter was the theme for most of the spaces we looked at. We needed to find a place that inspired not only us but our guests."

Cosy Alternative Restaurant Wedding: Sandra & Kristijonas

Kat

Balti Rėmelia

December 8, 2013

Sandra and Kristijonas were married in Lithuania, at Jalta, an alternative restaurant in Vilnius. From the outside it looks like a wooden house, they serve food made from locally sourced ingredients and they have a DJ in a greenhouse (which is actually where they had their ceremony!) The tree-lined terrace garden was the perfect setting for their laid back and cosy reception.

The Blogcademy Down Under: Auckland

Jel

December 7, 2013

You might think that teaching three workshops in three weeks would be enough, but not for The Blogcademy! In between our two Melbourne classes, Gala, Shauna and I flew to New Zealand for our final location of the year. Our venue was Generator, a super rad event space in downtown Auckland.

Etsy Christmas Gift Guide: Winter Warmers

Kat

December 6, 2013

Snugly winter goodies make perfect Christmas gifts. There's nothing I love more than finding something soft and warm under the tree that I can wear immediately (and probably not take off until April). The chunkier the better.

Thursday Treats: Photo Booths, Karaoke and Monster Hangovers

Kat

December 5, 2013

Greetings from hangover HQ! Last night I was in Brighton on my first Christmas party of the year with the Photography Farm crew. There was a photo booth, karaoke and wine... oh so much wine. It was an utter blast but of course I'm suffering for it today. In fact all I'm really capable of is lounging on the sofa and indulging in some lovely internet procrastination - won't you join me?

Elegant Red, White and Blue Wedding: Cameron & Lizzy

Caro Hutchings

December 5, 2013

Cameron and Lizzy chose a red, white and blue colour palette for their August wedding. Starting with the bride's stunning bespoke gown and the groom's three-piece suit, it then filtering though to the hydrangeas and rose arrangements, and finally the attendant's clothes.
