Eclectic Vintage Wedding in Australia

July 23, 2017 in Wedding. Written by Rachel Webb Photos by Lauren Campbell

Cayce and Damien both love history, adventure and collecting eclectic pieces, and have always liked the look of rustic weddings. After they began purchasing décor for their own wedding day, they realised they were naturally leaning towards an eclectic vintage theme.

“The building where our wedding was held is very historic,” began Cayce, “and our beloved vintage treasures (sewing machine, vintage camera, etc) added a metaphoric personal page in a collective community story that’s been written since the first person stepped into the building in 1906.”

They had a small, intimate ceremony of only 50 guests. “It was held by the water and Tillee Music performed, we couldn’t have been happier. Having my mum walk me down the aisle is a special memory I will cherish forever. Our officiant was amazing with personalising our ceremony and we were very lucky with the weather as it had rained earlier in the day.”

Environmentally-Conscious & Vegan LGBTQ Wedding

July 21, 2017 in Wedding. Written by Rachel Webb Photos by Susie Yang Photography

Shannon and Chris met through Gumtree! Chris was advertising for a flatmate, and Shannon was looking for a new house share. They were married in September at Half Moon Hideaway in Maleny, Queensland. Shannon is a circus enthusiast while Chris is a certified geek, they really wanted to make the day about who they are. They served vegan food, did hardly any DIY and decided not to have a bridal party, so their friends could just sit back and enjoy the day.

“We really just wanted something that was low stress, and fun for our guests,” they explained. “We wanted it to be like a big family dinner, and it was! We scrapped a lot of the boring sexist and traditional wedding ceremonial stuff. The celebrant was wonderful enough to remove all gendered language (where possible and not part of the legal section) from the ceremony. We decided to exchange VOWELS (an I and a U) instead of vows (we’re big fans of puns), and made the choice not to exchange rings.”

Sparkle & Smoke Bombs: A New Year’s Eve Wedding in Northern Ireland

July 20, 2017 in British Brides, Wedding. Written by Kat Photos by Ten21 Photography

Laura and Al grew up in the same town, went to the same school and the same art college! They were always ‘aware’ of each other growing up but only met properly at a party when they were 17. After that they were inseparable and the rest is history!

They were married on New Year’s Eve, but wanted to avoid the cliches. The wedding was held at The Arcadia in Portrush. “The chintzy lampshades, napkins, and mismatched chairs made the venue feel more ‘homely’ to us,” explained Laura, “everyone we know and love contributed to our day in some way so the whole thing felt like a community effort. We loved that.”

Laura and Al decided to get married on New Year’s Eve as a tribute to Al’s grandparents. Al sadly lost his grandfather a few days after they engaged so they decided on their anniversary date quite quickly as a tribute to them. “It actually turned out to be a great date to pick as everyone was in the mood for a party and a laugh which is how we tried to plan the day. We also decided to have all our photographs done first so we could go straight from the ceremony at 4pm, to dinner, to the party so there was no waiting around for guests.”

Vintage Pin Up & Burlesque Wedding

July 17, 2017 in British Brides, Wedding. Written by Kat Photos by Amy Faith Photography

Steph and Chris’ first date was at a burlesque show in Liverpool and they decided to recreate that atmosphere for their wedding! They infused their eclectic tastes into a perfect day of vintage, Rock n Roll, burlesque and mid-century classic style in a local historic venue. One of the acts they saw on their fist date, Suzie Sequin, even played at their reception!

They began their day with a traditional church wedding. “Although our evening was what some might consider unconventional we had a traditional wedding ceremony in a beautiful setting,” began Steph. “Port Sunlight is a historic village and Christ Church, while quite ordinary from outside, is breathtakingly beautiful inside. It is said to have the longest aisle in Britain (which didn’t help with my wedding nerves!)”

Game of Thrones Inspired Wedding in Iceland

July 16, 2017 in Wedding. Written by Kat Photos by Styrmir & Heiðdís Photography

Italian Monica and British Ben absolutely adore Game of Thrones so when they came to marry there was only one place they wanted to do it – Iceland! Their ceremony was held in Thingvellir National Park, at the Silfra (the rift between two continental tectonic plates) which is actually the entrance to the Eyrie in the show.

“We are both fans of Game of Thrones and very much into fantasy”, Monica explained. “In fact we are so much into Game of Thrones that 1) Our two cats are called Tyrion and Shae 2) Our first trip to Iceland was a GoT tour in the northern part of the country and 3) Ben proposed to me there, near a frozen lake surrounded by ravens. This made Iceland very special to us and the perfect setting for our wedding. We also appreciate the liberal nature of Icelanders, and their open-minded view of love and marriage.”

James Bond Meets Tarantino Vegas Elopement

July 15, 2017 in Wedding. Written by Kat Photos by Hannah Cohen Photography

It’s no big secret that I love Las Vegas and it’s weddings! I’ve been four times now and I’m always desperate for an excuse to go back. On my last trip we visited and fell in love with Red Rock Canyon, which is just a 25 minute car journey away from the Strip. It has to be one of the most beautiful and dramatic landscapes I’ve ever seen with my own eyes so you can imagine how much I love that Jen and Mike shot their wedding day portraits there!

Jen told me all about their celebrations, “All we knew is we wanted to get married and that we wanted it to be an elopement. We bought my dress and his tux and planned on having one hell of a time in Vegas to kiss 2016 goodbye. Our goals were to just have some damn good meals (which we did) and play a bunch of slots and arcade games (definitely did as well). Oh, and we had to visit Red Rock Canyon.”
