Marinel & James’s glorious clifftop wedding in Dorset, with Smiling Tiger Studios

I’m head over heels in love with this setting for a wedding! Imagine saying your ‘I dos’ on a cliff top, overlooking the sea and surrounded by fabulous boho seaside vibes. This gorgeous day was sent in by brilliant Dorset wedding photographer Smiling Tiger Studios. Thank you to lovely couple Marinel & James for sharing a little about their day – including a great review for their fab photographer, stylist and florist at Branksome Dene (Poole).

This is everything a beach wedding should be – I love the use of dried grasses to catch the breeze in those statement arrangements!

Your best moment or memory
Our best moment can’t be pinned down to just one. The whole day was so special. So much more than we ever thought it could be!
Tell us anything you did differently – we love hearing about NEW traditions (or none at all!)
I drove myself to the wedding in my wedding dress and trainers!

The seaside wedding vibes are captured perfectly with the dried floral arrangements and beautifully styled tables. The natural dyed silk table runner gives a relaxed and pretty backdrop to the exquisite florals, which combine fresh blooms and grasses in soft tones – I think they’re absolutely stunning.
Cake maker: Marinel!
