Sophie & Carl’s beautiful, alternative Berrynarb

Sophie & Carl’s beautiful, alternative Berrynarbor wedding, with @alexapoppephoto

We’re starting the week with a beautifully whimsical beach wedding. Gorgeous couple Sophie & Carl walked with their guests down 200 steps to a secret beach for the most amazing photos. Their wedding venue is styled with dried flowers – Sophie carries a stunning dried bouquet – and it’s all just too lovely for words! We adore Sophie’s @grace_loves_lace dress with a slit up the side – perfect for a walk to the beach and a cheeky dip in the sea! Incredible photos by Alexa Poppe who gets a brilliant review from our happy couple!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Alexa is wonderful- she understood the relaxed vibe we wanted for the day and made the most of all the amazing scenery around us. She is great fun to be around and made us feel really at ease. We have memories to treasure forever that she captured wonderfully.

Super relaxed wedding day tips: 5️⃣ Only invit

Super relaxed wedding day tips: 5️⃣ Only invite people you love.⁠
⁠
It’s harder to relax around people you don’t know. Choose your guest list together, and if anxiety on the day might be a worry for either of you, make sure you feel safe with, and loved by everyone who’ll be there.⁠
⁠
@damien_vickers_photography shares this gem of wedding planning advice: “Allow yourselves time to mingle with the people that mean the most to you and will be cherished most when you look back at your photos through the years. If you are choosing to go a little left-field and non-traditional your closest friends and family are much more likely to ‘get it’ and enjoy than those family members that you rarely see and don’t know so well.” ⁠

"The little moment we reminisce about the most is

"The little moment we reminisce about the most is the 5 minutes we had to ourselves after the ceremony, everyone else had gone for drinks and we sat away from the business of the day with a glass of bubbly and talked about how bizarre it all felt. To be finally husband and wife, signed, sealed – we sat smiling like idiots! I also remember how wide awake we were once everyone had gone to bed, the venue was empty but we didn’t want to end the day so we got changed out of our suit and dress and took Stan our dog out for a late night walk around the venue – the stars were so bright and it was so quiet, walking past the barn and fields on a little walk felt so normal after such a whirlwind day."⁠

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "We couldn’t recommend @paylorphoto enough! Jake and I aren’t the most comfortable in front of the camera but Rebecca and Rob were so easy to work with, they made us feel at ease from the word go. They took photos of moments we didn’t even know they were there for, they work like magic."⁠

Today on our blog we've shared some tips for smashing the patriarchy and making NEW traditions! ⁠
⁠
We had to edit the press release - as we usually do - to cut out the words 'bride and groom' and acknowledge wedding attire other than dresses so it's more inclusive. @mediaworksuk take note! ⁠
⁠
But if you want to shake up wedding traditions, check our blog because the ideas are FAB! (And we got to dig out some gorgeous images from our archives from fave photographers like @smilingtigerstudiosuk which makes us happy!) ⁠

If you want a unique wedding, @rosswillsherphotogr

If you want a unique wedding, @rosswillsherphotography suggests looking outside of the industry for inspiration - and he's so right!

"I think that one of the reasons why other celebrations can vary so much compared to weddings, is that the wedding industry tends to be a little insular when it comes to inspiration. Wedding suppliers often to look to other weddings for ideas and trends, so we don’t see huge variations in the look and feel of the day. There is also a sense of ‘Well it’s always been done this way’, and a fear of change and trying something new. If you are someone that looks at weddings online and feels frustrated and ignored, look towards popular culture for ideas. Music, art, literature, films, and interior design can all be amazing sources of inspiration for your day. Pinterest hasn’t really shown me any outfit ideas I love for my upcoming big day, but the BAFTA red carpet really got my creativity whirling."

If weddings you've been to in the past don't feel right for you, consider a celebrant.

"Whilst (at the time of writing) you will still need to have short separate legal ceremony with a registrar at some point, hiring a celebrant for your main wedding ceremony enables you to incorporate so many personal elements to your public vows. Celebrant-led wedding ceremonies can be absolutely anything you want them to be and with so many celebrants to choose from, you are guaranteed to find one who really understands what makes you unique."

And don't let the wedding industry dictate your day: Question Everything!

"It’s wonderful to keep an open mind and approach the day with curiosity. There are lots of services, products, and suppliers available that you haven’t even considered possible before. However, every time you are tempted to dip into your wedding budget, ask the question ‘Will this make our day more fun or meaningful?’ If the answer is yes, then go for it, but if you don’t really feel it will add to the joy of the day, maybe you need to step away and make sure you’re not getting swept up in wedding shopping or caught in a supplier’s sales-web."
