Writing a wedding website means it’s second nature to me to question everything about weddings! But a lovely email from my friend Ross Willsher Photography got me thinking today.

If you’re new to the wedding world – say, for example, you’ve just got engaged – it can all be pretty confusing, especially when it comes to rules, regulations and traditions.

 

After a little while, you’ll realise many of the things you see at every wedding are optional. For example:

  • wedding rings
  • speeches
  • cutting the cake
  • a first dance
  • changing your name(s)

We hope you love this New England wedding inspiration, brought to life in the Kent countryside! The vibe is casual and yet classy, where every element is thoughtfully planned, from the couple’s outfits to their minimal invitations. We’ve fallen hard for this gorgeous styled photoshoot and we hope it gives you lots of ideas for styling your wedding!

One of the best bits of advice I could ever give to couples, is to think twenty years into the future.

Right now, today, picture yourselves together in twenty years time. What will you remember of your wedding? Perhaps there’ll be family members who aren’t around any more. Perhaps your memories of the day will be fading a little…

In twenty years time when you pick up your wedding album, you’ll be hoping to relive your wedding day through the images you see in there. And the most precious photographs of your day will be the ones where you can see people’s characters and personalities.

An amazing party atmosphere for this stunning DIY wedding in a converted church in Leeds! We are in LOVE with Christina & Cathal’s day – and the gorgeous pics by Yorkshire wedding photographer Matt Sim. Head over to our instagram to see our favourites!

Wedding photographer review

Matt was absolutely amazing on the day! He made us feel comfortable and captured the day perfectly with lots of natural shots.

Something a little playful for you lovelies this morning! This styled editorial is a gentle reminder to be who you are on your wedding day. If a white dress or morning suit just aren’t really ‘you’, then remember: you can wear anything you like for your wedding… why not have fun, and be playful with your wedding outfits?

Thank you to lovely Giada from Enchanting Weddings & Events for sharing this with us! Here’s her introduction to the photoshoot (and our full supplier list below)
