Josh and Katie met in secondary school. After being in the same tutor group and not exchanging a single word, it took until they ended up in a mutual friendship group in college several years later for them to finally hit it off! They’d been together for nine years and engaged for eight of those before planning their wedding day. As self-confessed Star Wars geeks, with matching Star Wars tattoos already, they knew they wanted a day that captured their nerdiness without being tacky, and also complimented their wedding venue as that was the first thing they picked.

Melissa and Nathan’s Rock n Roll love story starts seven years ago with a post-gig high-five gone wrong.

Undeterred by this initial hiccup, their relationship blossomed over the next 18 months and culminated in Melissa meeting Nathan off the plane from his stint on an American tour. They’ve been together ever since!

Looby and Ryan's big day was not at all traditional but incredibly personal, and that's why we love it so much. The couple eloped to beautiful Cornwall, with a ceremony in a refurbished rustic barn with just the registrar and officiants as their witnesses, followed by their 'reception': A night in in a beautiful cottage at the venue. We love their whole attitude towards wedding planning and how true to themselves they stayed - Looby and Ryan, we salute you!

Heather and Kev’s wedding was full of quirky little DIY touches. They didn't want it to feel too orchestrated though; they just wanted it to feel natural and homemade.

"We wanted to keep things DIY too, with no massive styling required. We wanted it to feel like we’d done everything ourselves and that it was authentically ‘us’."
