We just published a new blog! Spoiler: it's full of budget advice, and it's all about bringing in personality to make your wedding more affordable. 👍

Sustainable weddings, to us, means (amongst many other things!) a happy experience and stress free planning. Sticking to a comfortable budget is a huge part of that.

Read the full article via the link in our bio 👆

The wedding media focus way too much on ‘average wedding budget’ figures (which we believe are massively distorted) – and this can put pressure on couples to spend more than necessary. This has an impact on mental health, on carbon footprint and on waste at weddings.

Why? Because budgets dictate the size of a wedding. If you’re constantly told that a figure of £xxx is normal, you’re likely to be influenced by that in some way.

As a part of the wedding media in the UK, we want to use our voice to bring a little balance. No one should feel pressure to aim their wedding budget towards a level of spend dictated by the press. Especially with the cost of living crisis we’re in right now, no one should even feel pressure to have a wedding at all. (Elope! Elopements are amazing. Or live together in love – married or not – weddings are optional!)

We want to be a part of a thriving industry which gives couples choice. That feels like a sustainable future for everyone.

And the key to a more sustainable approach to wedding budgets? Focus on personality. Plan and style your day around who you are – not what you see in the wedding media.

When the planning is done and the guests on their way, all you want to do is enjoy your day – and gorgeous couple Maruzzella and Ben did just that! The happiness just shines from their wedding photos, which tell the story of their day so beautifully. The happy pair married at @goldsboroughhall in Yorkshire and chose award winning photographers @yorkplacestudios to capture their best day ever.

We do love a black-tie wedding – especially for a church and stately home setting, the look is just fabulous. Maruzzella’s all-over-lace wedding dress is absolutely stunning, and along with the elegant floral styling and that amazing calla lily bouquet this wedding oozes luxury and elegance. But it’s the story that wins our hearts. The little glances from bridesmaids and parents, and the look of love shared between the bride and groom… they’re what make our hearts sing!

It's the little details 😍

Ben & Kerry got married at @warwick_house in Southam. "We went for this venue as we just got a really nice vibe from the staff and venue when we went. We both knew this was the place for us. We loved that it was an exclusive venue and our close family and friends could stay over for the night of the wedding. I couldn’t fault Warwick House and the staff were so friendly and professional and nothing was too much trouble. Again, our photographer @ajtimages knew exactly where to get some perfect shots of our venue and worked so well with the venue staff."

Ben & Kerry's wedding is an absolute dream! They told us, "@ajtimages Alex and Claire were great from start to finish. We were unfortunately a couple that had to move our wedding and Alex was so accommodating and understanding. We also had a photoshoot with Alex before the wedding to get to know him and that was a great opportunity for us to discuss what kind of photos we wanted. We went for the natural photos with some “posed” photos and they all look absolutely beautiful. Alex and Claire were so professional but fun on the day and they handled our crazy family and friends perfectly! Alex is not afraid to get down on the floor to get some perfect shots and has a good eye for detail. I would 100% recommend Alex."

Destination wedding venue?
Welcome to @stelizabethshousehotel in Devon.

"We fell in love with St Elizabeth's the second we drove up the driveway. Just the most beautiful venue, modern but classic. Not too big but held just the right amount of people for what we wanted. The service was incredible from the start of the planning process right until the end.

The wedding venue gave us Younger Photography's details. We had also been to a wedding where they were the photographers and they were amazing to be around. We couldn’t have asked for a single thing to be done better. They were professional but also made you feel at ease and had a good laugh which we loved. They kept everyone smiling and laughing all day. They also provided us with a photo booth for our reception which went down a treat. The best choice we made."

Some more sustainable elements which we LOVE from Pedro's shoot 🥰: the flowers are locally sourced, seasonal blooms for a summer wedding. The mix of colour and texture in the bouquet is wonderful. The floral chandelier and archway are just incredible! Using local flowers, ideally organically grown if you can, is a huge way to reduce the environmental impact of your wedding.

However carefully planned your wedding will be, sp

However carefully planned your wedding will be, spontaneous things will happen...

📸 @yorkplacestudios

...The trick is to not let it break you. The reason you have a timeline and plan is to avoid utter chaos… but it’s not about having complete control.

Take a step back, and be prepared for things to change just a little. Look after yourselves, don't let planning stress get too much (delegate!) - and do whatever you need to so your minds are in a relaxed and happy place on the big day.

On the day, you should know you’ve done your best, there’s a plan – but if it gets a little messy, not to worry. So long as you’re both where you need to be for the main bit 💍, it’s mission accomplished.

Ultimately a lot of your day is about your guests. It’s about all of your favourite people gathering together to catch up and tell stories, to hug and giggle and get face ache from smiling. Look forward to being a part of that. It’s going to be AMAZING.

Perhaps spontaneity is an emerging ‘trend’ in weddings. Perhaps every wedding is unique and different and couples tie the knot just as they live their lives: some of us are meticulous planners and others go with the flow – we’re happy to ‘wing it’. And either way, it’s fine.
