Santorini is - by far - one of the most beautiful places I've ever visited. So when Shannon and Joss' wedding landed in my inbox I didn't hesitate to say "Yes, I want to feature it!" They had their ceremony on a terrace at Marizan Caves in Oia, a reception dinner at Katharos Lounge on Katharos Beach. The following day they had sunset boat cruise around the Aegean sea.Read more...

Fiona and Mike wanted an outdoorsy, chilled out wedding that was as fun for their guests as it was for them! They went above and beyond to provide entertainment, drinks and food that everyone would enjoy. Having as much as possible locally sourced was also really important to them both.Read more...

Even in beautiful Byron Bay there's a possibility of rain on your wedding day. But it didn't stop Jacob and Nicola's celebrations. In fact I completely love those rainy portraits on the beach. Magical! Their wedding was held at Clarkes Beach Holiday Park and ran over a whole weekend.Read more...

Chris and Emmy were married early in the day, so they wanted to lay on lots of entertainment for their guests. "We wanted a day that was relaxed, fun and family-friendly", wrote the bride. "We had our humanist hand fasting ceremony at 10:30 in the morning, so we wanted to make sure there was plenty for our guests to do throughout the day. We go to a lot of festivals and run a dance tent with my family called the Griffin Tent, so we used that as a starting point, using the marquee and having a pub quiz and live bands in the afternoon. The river running through Loudwater Farm is the same river we both played in as children (we've known each other since we were 11!), so we had fishing nets and wellies for everyone to paddle. We added archery, circus toys, dreamcatcher making and an art and crafts den, and finished up with a silent disco."Read more...

Their budget was only $7000, but that didn't stop Sara and Jeremy organising one of the most gorgeous barn weddings I've ever seen! "The most unique part of our wedding is how many people came together to help create all the details", said the bride. "So many wonderful friends helped make things from decorations, DJ, photographer, cakes, and even marquee, to really give our wedding a handmade feel."Read more...

Devin and Nina were married at the Solitude Mountain Ski Resort in Utah, in May. Her completely stunning dress was 'Josee' by Grace Loves Lace. "For our wedding day I wanted simple, and unique", she wrote. "We were exhausted of going to the same wedding over and over and wanted to do something a little different."Read more...

Lindsey and Jason were married at The Red House in Cassadaga, in upstate New York. The venue really set the tone for their casual, DIY day. "Our wedding theme was laid back, bohemian, vibrant and eclectic", explained the bride. "Which truly reflected Jason and I. We really didn't stick to the traditional formalities when planning our wedding but instead we choose to personalize our day in a way that we felt most comfortable with."Read more...

While planning their colourful and DIY heavy wedding for May this year, disaster struck. Stu and Lisi's flat burnt down, bringing with it nearly all of the things they'd collected for their wedding so far! Starting over must have been massively stressful, but they were still able to pull off the DIY wedding of their dreams in a relatively short time frame!Read more...

Amanda and James were married in Derry, Northern Ireland. The day started with the bride getting ready at her parents' house and a catholic ceremony, but that's where the tradition ended! Their reception, at Thatched Cottage in Craft Village, was a true reflection of them as a couple. Casual, laid back and thrifty.Read more...

Kristin and Eric were married on 28th December and so they wanted their wedding to have a festive, gilded vibe. They day was held at 1927 Events, a historic space in Seattle. "The time of year really guided our choices", wrote the bride. "We always wanted a wedding close to the holidays, so we really went for a romantic cocktail and dinner party vibe rather than a wedding. We wanted it to feel really informal instead of the traditional agenda burdened wedding."Read more...

I was convinced this wedding was a styled shoot with models. Convinced. These kinds of beautiful people don't exist in real life do they?! Well, apparently they do, and I've got the photographs to prove it. Stand by for some serious wedding envy my friends - That light! That dress! Those model-esque bridesmaids!Read more...

If I'm being 100% truthful, I've been a little bit over styled wedding shoots for a while now. Some of you might have noticed that I share less and less of them on my site these days. In the most part it's actually because I simply have too many awesome weddings I want to share instead (yay!) but in others its because there really are a lot of boring shoots being produced. Harsh but true!Read more...

Who says gritty and urban can't also be pretty and colourful?! Not this girl! Which is why I completely love this rainbow-hued shoot sent over by LeeYen of Loblee Photography. Shot in Salt Lake City, these dreamy images have really brightened my morning!Read more...

Aimee and Adam couldn't have the wedding they originally planned, but not wanting to wait to get married they decided to keep things small and as simple as possible. It was just the two them and only really close family and friends in attendance at their Oklahoma Supreme Court ceremony.Read more...

Bryan and Brittany live in New York but were married in Oklahoma where most of their friends and family still live. They'd planned a very different wedding originally, wanting an all outdoor affair, but, just five weeks before the big day they realised it just wasn't going to work and they had to find another venue. Panic stations! Luckily, they came across The Womb art gallery, owned by Wayne Coyne, lead singer of The Flaming Lips. They asked him if he'd consider letting them have their wedding there, which he not only agreed to but he came along and partied with them too! Now that, my friends, is pure Rock n Roll.Read more...

As far as simple and breathtaking weddings go, I think this family focused elopement in Big Sur, California wins everything. It was just Ulysses, Cyntia and their two gorgeous children, Pheonix and Galaxy in attendance. Their officiant, Colette Cucchia, was there to marry them overlooking the water and their wedding photographer captured the whole thing beautifully.Read more...

Naomi and Glen spent just £4000 on their amazing boho wedding in a yurt in September. They saved money everywhere - from the bride having her dress made by a friend, the food being made by friend and family, DIY stationery, the flowers being arranged by Glen's mum and the cake being made by Naomi's sister in law!Read more...

Jake and Amanda spent just $4000 on their amazing wedding. Everything, bar the catering, was either homemade or donated by friends and family. The location was a friend's estate in Chatsworth, California. They chose a secluded clearing amongst the trees with breath taking views as their ceremony spot.Read more...
