Are you looking for style inspiration for your same-sex or LGBTQI+ wedding outfits? We’re here to help!

Gone are the days of rigid rules regarding what brides and grooms can wear on their wedding days. Nowadays, you can essentially wear whatever wedding attire you’d like to – and while that gives you plenty of freedom, it can leave you feeling overwhelmed and at a loss as to where to start putting your outfits together. This is especially true when the big day you’re planning involves two grooms or two brides (or two people without any labels at all!).

I was intrigued to find this little nugget of wedding inspo in my inbox the other day. We’ve featured destination weddings on the blog before, and I love a bit of virtual travelling via English Wedding! But Benidorm… That came as a surprise! So here we have gorgeous real couple Mariya & Maribel in Alicante, Spain, showing us that with a little imagination any setting can be the perfect backdrop for creative wedding images.

I’d elope. I’ve never shied away from saying this: if I got married right now, I’d elope. Easy. There’s just something wildly romantic about it being just the two of you (plus an amazing celebrant and lovely photographer, obvs) – and escaping into remote nature to say beautiful words – it’s my dream. So today’s glorious feature comes from stunning couple Matthew and Jane, with lovely Hannah Brooke Photography. I hope you’ll adore this as much as I do.“english

One wedding trend that has been catching everyone’s attention is the enchanting and captivating, bohemian wedding theme. Filled with fresh flowers, draping décor and pretty palettes, no wonder it’s a popular choice. If you perfect this theme, you can easily be transported into a charming fairy-tale that you’ll never want to leave. But where do you start? That’s where I can help with my top tips below…

Consider an outdoor ceremony and alfresco dining

Boho is inspired by all things nature.
