An elegant English castle wedding done beautifully – this is a wonderful feature we’ve been so looking forward to sharing with you. Racheal and Jonathan married at Powderham Castle, overlooking the river Exe in glorious Devon. With three stunning dress changes, Rachael looks incredible every moment of their day – and Jonathan looks fantastic in a very elegant blue suit. (He told us he’s a quick shopper and was done in 15 minutes!)

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!).

Remember sunshine?! Today’s wedding is bursting with summer vibes, and comes from Devon’s glorious Rockbeare Manor. Meg is stunning in a beautiful dress from Brides of Chester; David’s suit is perfect for summertime in light grey with pale blue accents. This is another fabulous wedding from Devon wedding photographer Evolve Photography – one of the region’s busiest and best wedding photographers. Photographer Mark gets a fantastic review from lovely Meg and David – scroll to see the full feature!“english

Has September sunk in yet?! It hardly feels more than a few weeks since lockdown… and so I wanted to share this pretty spring wedding with you today. Beautiful brides Hannah and Jess tied the knot days before the world stopped in March, and their sunny, vibrant spring wedding is full of happiness and love. Images are by our friend Mark at Evolve Photography in Devon, and the florals by his lovely wife Natasha at Pumpkin & Pye! The venue is The Green Cornwall (I know, I know… we blogged another wedding there on Saturday!)
