Your wedding day is one of the most memorable days of your life, and how you choose to arrive at your venue can add a unique touch to your celebration. Whether you envision arriving in a luxurious car at a grand country manor, stepping out of a charming vintage bus at a rustic barn, or making a sustainable entrance by walking, your choice of wedding transport can reflect your personal style and values. Let’s explore these options and their environmental impacts.

Today’s wedding is just bursting with joy, and colour, and playfulness, and love. And what more could you ever wish for? Gorgeous couple Georgina and Ben were married at Crown Lodge and chose Kent wedding photographer Benjamin Toms to capture their day.

I wanted to hug Lisa and Duncan when I read their interview for our blog. They told us, “We’re not big fans of the wedding hype!..Love and fun are all that matter! There is such unnecessary pressure on couples to have the ‘perfect day’.”

Lisa and Duncan planned an alternative wedding to suit them. Lisa's wearing a gold dress and a paper flower hair accessory, and Duncan's in a blue jacket with red tie. They're touching foreheads and smiling, with the sea behind them. By Benjamin Toms Photography in Kent

The wedding media is HUGE, but printed magazines had a rough couple of years in 2021 and 2022. When weddings stopped and guest numbers were restricted, many major wedding magazines disappeared from our shops. The ‘wedding hype’ faded, just a little… and perhaps that’s no bad thing.

Lisa and Duncan’s is a beautifully unconventional wedding, and one we’re more than thrilled to be able to share with you today. The couple’s own words of wisdom are golden so we won’t waffle on, other than to mention their amazing Kent wedding photographer Benjamin Toms, who’s kindly shared his images of the happy pair with us today. Over to Lisa & Duncan because we LOVE their wedding story:
