We've seen the trend for brides cutting their hair before their reception a few times (and we love it) but this is definitely the first time we've seen someone cut and colour their hair midway through the wedding! That was just classic Gaelle though - she didn't want their wedding to be like anybody else's. Not wanting to be outshone, the groom cut his long hair as well and the reaction from their guests was priceless!

Lou and Muz wanted their wedding to feel like stepping into a dark, enchanted forest, with a streak of Disney magic running through it. They chose Danby Castle in Whitby as their setting, bringing together gothic atmosphere, woodland details, and the references that mean the most to them.

Karly and Erik wanted a small wedding which felt like them - romantic, playful and a little strange. So, they got married inside a medieval-style stone castle on the Florida coast with no guests, no formalities, and no pressure to do anything that didn’t feel right.

When a couple's aisle walk goes viral because of the groom's incredible reaction to seeing his bride, you just know the rest of the wedding is going to be spectacular! But make no mistake, Amanda and Tyler's wedding was not just a viral moment, every single detail was a fairytale.

The idea of splitting a wedding over two days—a smaller, intimate ceremony on the first day, followed by a larger, more laid-back reception on another day—gained popularity during the pandemic and remains a popular choice for post-COVID couples. This approach reduces the pressure of formality and having "all eyes on you" during the vows, making it feel more like a personal moment rather than a performance. It also allows for a more relaxed celebration with everyone else afterward. This is exactly what Sioned and James chose to do when they married this summer.

Travelling from Los Angeles to Yorkshire, Garrett and Felicia brought their friends and family to the stunning Allerton Castle for what they described as a "Regal Riff Raff" themed celebration. The vision for their wedding was “opulent but gritty… like if grunge grew up.”

Jonali wore her mother's wedding from from 1989 (with a few minor alterations) when she married Michael in September last year. She wanted to play homage to her mother while still making her look her own so she had the sleeves and a bow on the butt (so 80s!) removed which she then used to wrap around her handmade brooch bouquet. Other than that, their main inspo for the day was their venue, Hammond Castle, and wanting to have a dark, 'til death' vibe.

The main inspiration behind Alan and Laura’s wedding was something that they both hold dear; their two beloved cats! Laura also has a thing about skulls, so they needed to feature heavily in the day too. “In fact, I always wanted our wedding to have a bit of a gothic vibe,” said Laura, “so when we found our venue we were over the moon!”

Wow, wow, wow! Get yourself ready because you are going to LOVE Hannah and Andy's wedding! They were married on 7th September 2018, their eight year anniversary, at Allerton Castle, a beautiful gothic castle in Yorkshire where some scenes of The Secret Garden were filmed. They wanted their day to feel personal and although they ended up spending quite a bit more than they originally planned, they have absolutely no regrets! The day was opulent, dramatic and just what the bride always wanted.

Marc and Chloe have always been interested in gothic style and an alternative lifestyle - meeting at a metal gig in 2012 - so it was never a question that they’d have anything other than a wedding that reflected their true selves!

Bunny and Michael's elegant castle wedding is an absolute STUNNER. Their big day was gothic whilst still being glamorous, grungy yet gorgeous, and dark without being dull. These scenes look like they've been lifted straight out of a fantasy world (not that we're complaining, in the slightest!)

Diana and Jason had already booked a month long holiday to Europe together, when a friend suggested the idea of eloping. Straight away they knew it was perfect for them! Neither of them wanted a huge middle-eastern wedding (which is the tradition in Diana's family) so their month long holiday turned into a pre and post wedding honeymoon!

Sara and Marc were married in a castle. Their day had a gothic feel and the bride wore purple! Their budget was just $8,000 and they saved money by DIYing the décor, not having a DJ or band, and by avoiding using real flowers or having a traditional wedding cake. They were also very lucky to win their wedding photography in a competition!

Kelly and Thom wanted their wedding to be inspired by their love of travel, but with fun little unexpected touches. They weren't constrained by a particular theme, they just picked things they liked, such as having a 'Herbie' Beetle as their transport! The ceremony was held at Old Wardour Castle and the reception at Spitfire House Farm, private farming estate owned by family friends.

Kat and Matt wanted anything but a traditional wedding. They started the day by having their ceremony at Old Wardour Castle in Salisbury. "The inspiration for the wedding was everything we enjoy: computer games, Game of Thrones, Lord of the Rings, swords, horses, cats, dragons and castles!", said the bride. "We love looking around castles and historical sites, so finding a ruined castle licensed for weddings was amazingly perfect!"
