Dianna and Nathan are big fans of Lord of the Rings, but aren't fans of being the centre of attention. They decided that an elopement (from one hemisphere to the other!) and a ceremony held in The Shire-esque Puck's Glen in Scotland was the perfect solution, especially as a forest location was high on the wish list for their day.Read more...

However, the day turned out to be magical and full of colour, love, support and happiness. The bride said that their favourite part of the wedding was that, "We each got to marry our best friend."

Jane and Ben were married in South Africa in April. They wanted their wedding to feel natural, beautiful and 'foresty'. They were inspired by A Midsummer Nights' Dream and wanted something that resembled a wonderland forest meets a magical fairyland! Since the wedding was in South Africa's Autumn, they also wanted it to have an autumnal feel. They used lots of dried leaves and autumn colours.Read more...

Michaela and Aviad were wed in the Ben Shemen forest, Israel. They wanted a relaxed wedding, just like they are in their every day lives! "We met while working together at the same bar", began the bride. Nothing happened between us for a long time until we were both invited to a friend's wedding. Maybe it was the magic air of a Jewish wedding, but I started to see something between us. Before we knew it we were on a date in a Greek restaurant in Jaffa!"Read more...

Mor and Amnon were married at a nature reserve between Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. The location helped to set their theme of 'concrete and nature'. "We didn't want to decorate the place too much because the forest around is was everything," began Mor. "We wanted people to come and enjoy nature, but to have the concrete floor too dance on too!"Read more...

Bridal fashion doesn't have to be boring or ordinary. Oh no, why not take those old-fashioned ideas and flip them on their head?! Antlers, coloured gowns, cardigans, plaid... the possibilities are endless!Read more...

"Our family and friends MADE this wedding happen," explained Natalie when I asked her about her wedding. "Brynn & I didn't want to have a wedding designer, but I think my mother now holds that title. She spent the eight months of our engagement collecting wine glasses and silverware from thrift stores. Her and my aunt accumulated all the décor and oversaw virtually every design detail. My grandmother sewed all of the napkins and a family friend arranged the flowers for the centerpieces. My father created and made the cocktails and roasted coffee beans for the wedding favors (Brynn’s mother sewed the favor bags). My super-talented friend, the visual manager of an Anthropologie in DC, built the ceremony backdrop & platform and made all the signs. We asked a family friend to bartend. My best friend’s father and my cousins hung all the lights for the reception. One of my friends recently started an event-planning business and she handled all of the insane day-of coordination. Our friend is in a band and graciously offered to DJ the entire wedding." The couple were married in Maryland in July. With a laid back approach, and as much help as their friends & family could muster, they planned the wedding of their dreams with little to no stress. "Our inspiration for the ceremony was a combination of A Midsummer Night’s Dream and Lord of The Rings", she continued. "Obviously having the ceremony in a forest was a must. I envisioned my bridesmaids looking like little wood nymphs or fairies. They all picked out a white dress of their choosing and everyone looked smashing. We wanted our reception to be like a party Jay Gatsby would throw. There were lights strung everywhere, non-stop music, endless drinks, and next-level dance moves. Brynn's brother and best man even secretly got a limo to take us away."Read more...
