There is so much to think about when starting out on the wedding planning journey. However, picking your wedding venue is one of the most critical aspects of planning your journey.

Your wedding venue sets the tone for your day, so you must ensure it is perfect. With so many choices out there it can therefore be tough to narrow your search, especially if you want to get married in Kent, one of the most sought-after counties in the country, at an outdoor wedding venue. So, if you are planning on getting married in Kent, there are a few other things to consider and keep in mind when choosing your venue.

Let’s fill Monday morning with ideas for your summer weddings! Lovely wedding planner Melanie Jane sent us this glorious, tumblingly floral-filled and sweet inspiration. Take from it what you will: the style of the flowers or the colours of the stationery, the beautiful venue styling or the elegant bridal look and dress from Gatehouse Brides.

Mel is here to tell you how the look was put together, and how the team joined forces to create such a gorgeous wedding scene!

A gorgeous inspirational photoshoot from The London Wedding Collective to see us into July! Suki and Jonny are a stunning couple, and the team behind this beautiful set of pics are insanely talented.

Suki’s a creative designer with her own Afro-Asian fusion cuisine business, and Jonny’s an artist and designer – together they are the most adorable and romantic pair. With families all over the globe, this photoshoot celebrates their lockdown engagement – we love that it showcases the value of love for love’s sake, even before any big celebration or wedding!

Happy Wednesday everyone! We have a brilliant, personality-filled and fun-focused wedding for you today. It’s gorgeous couple Charlotte and Joe, who married at the Asylum chapel in London. A bucket-list wedding venue for award-winning photographers York Place Studios, with a stunning dress and all the love in the world!

If you’re having a winter wedding, take extra care in choosing your wedding photographer. It’s essential to find someone who has the skill and equipment to shoot in winter light – and all the more so if your wedding will be indoors, in a building with low light. The team at York Place are experienced London wedding photographers who embrace the conditions and the light at The Asylum, and we think the pictures of Joe and Charlotte’s day are out of this world!

Are you thinking of having a vegan wedding? Perhaps you’ve been invited to one, and you’re wondering what it’s all about. We’ll explain what a vegan wedding is, what to expect – and how you can plan one!

There’s a lack of awareness in the wedding industry, of what a vegan wedding might be.

There’s also a kind of nervousness from non-vegans, about attending a vegan wedding. Will it be weird? Will I have to eat raw vegetables all day? Can I have a drink? The answers are, in order, no, no – and YES of course you can!
