A 70s disco influence ran through everything at Lucy and Jess' wedding. The main colour of the day was burnt orange and it showed up in the bridesmaid’s mix of dresses and suits, in the confetti, the bouquets, and across all the self-designed stationery.

Chloe and Aaron’s colourful festival wedding in Hull was all about their personalities, their love of colour and not taking themselves too seriously. The couple, who have been together since they were 17, and their three children threw a celebration was full of laughter, games and in-jokes. And despite it raining all morning (even during their outdoor ceremony!) their spirits were not dampened one little bit.

There are several different ways to get married in the UK, and these vary depending on which country you live in. Couples who are religious may want a wedding led by a vicar, priest, rabbi, or other religious leader. In England and Wales, broadly, this can be legally recognised if it takes place in a building licensed for marriages. If you’re having a religious wedding, do check that your ceremony will fulfil the legal requirements.

An and Mario were married exactly twenty years to the date after they first met, on February 29th. As well as only having one date every four years they could make this happen, they had to plan around other real circumstances. After An developed post concussion syndrome following a serious accident, a full traditional schedule was completely off the table. Instead, they split the celebration in two days - the civil ceremony took place on the Thursday and the party on the Friday night.

Yes, I’m a Feminist… And I’m Excited to Be a Bride

When I was eight, I came down with the flu. Coincidentally, it was about the same time my Twilight DVD was delivered so, for two and a half weeks, I watched that movie obsessively – the deleted scenes, the commentary, every little detail. It was my first real introduction to the idea of love as an unwavering, never-ending commitment. And when I got engaged in August last year, Bella and Edward’s wedding became my inspiration. From the flowers to the music to the idea that love can be an intentional, loving choice between two people.

What No-One Tells You About Eloping (And How to Make It Still Feel Special)

Kat

Jenn and Pawel

March 23, 2026

For a long time, eloping meant running away to get married in secret. But today it usually means the couple have chosen to elope because they want a wedding that feels calm, intentional and focused on the two of them rather than the expectations of everyone else. Some elopements even include a small guest list (although these should more accurately be called micro weddings). But while elopements are often portrayed as effortless and carefree, there are a few things people rarely talk about when planning one. So, if you’re thinking about eloping, here are some practical things to know and simple ways to turn it into a meaningful experience rather than just a quick legal formality.

Cheap Wedding Ideas That Don’t Actually Feel Cheap

A cheap wedding and a bad wedding are not the same thing. Some of the most joyful, memorable weddings cost very little money, and some of the most expensive weddings feel like a corporate conference with flowers. The difference is rarely the budget. It’s how couples choose to spend it. If you’re planning a wedding without a huge budget, your goal probably isn’t to make everything as cheap as possible. It’s to spend money where it matters and skip the things nobody really notices anyway. Here are some genuinely cheap wedding ideas that still feel thoughtful, fun and completely intentional.

I’m like a wild stallion,” I hear myself say. “Frolicking through the forest.” I’m sitting in a sports bar. I’m 30 years old. I know nothing about horses. “And then one day a fence is built around the forest. And even if it were the biggest fence ever, and it was so big I would never even reach it to see it in person, I would still know it was there.” This is how I explained my aversion to marriage a decade ago, to the person I professed to love, who I’d been dating for four, and then five years. I would be trapped; the part I left unsaid.

We've seen the trend for brides cutting their hair before their reception a few times (and we love it) but this is definitely the first time we've seen someone cut and colour their hair midway through the wedding! That was just classic Gaelle though - she didn't want their wedding to be like anybody else's. Not wanting to be outshone, the groom cut his long hair as well and the reaction from their guests was priceless!

October 29, 2025

This shoot, dubbed Goth Glam by everyone involved, was created out of a need to shake things up. The team wanted to bring together Kansas City’s weirdest, boldest, and most unapologetic creatives and make something that proved “high-end” doesn’t have to mean beige. They called it a love letter to the alt-lux side of weddings: velvet and smoke, drama and decadence, edge and elegance. The goal was to show that goth, glam, and alternative can sit right alongside luxury, without losing the grit.
