This particular couple, Katie and Joseph, tied the knot on 7th September 2019 coupled with a wedding that intertwined aspects of tradition the couple appreciated for its symbolism, with a far more modern, creative wedding element. For example, the pair had two ceremonies around the same day, one of these incorporating seven blessings, inspiring the bride-to-be's Jewish heritage.
Katie wore the ball gown wedding dress, which she designed herself together with designer Dana. Just look at that beautiful detail!
"Although I hadn't spent enough time thinking about what I do on my big day, I didn't wish to wear a whole outfit that may never be worn again. And I realized I wanted it to possess some color too."
The beautiful bouquet and floral decor are intended by Katie's mother and cousin, who sourced the blooms via.
"They were the brains behind all of the decorations. My mother advised us on seasonal flowers and together we find the colors we most preferred. They both did an extraordinary job, the whole marquee looked wonderful and couldn't happen to be more perfect. They also made my bouquet and also the buttonhole flowers."
The couple hired a photographer to document their beautiful day.
"Joseph and I happen to be together since we met during our final year at University (in 2014). Joseph proposed in February 2019 by reading Katie a poem he'd written, whilst I was sitting on Tempelhof (a classic airport, now a park) in Berlin, where we live. We got married seven months later." Go
"Joseph was accompanied, in the woodshed within the garden, towards the ceremony within the marquee by his family, arm-in-arm together with his parents and the four siblings following behind."
"Katie then emerged on the other side of the garden together with her family, arm-in-arm together with her parents, and three siblings following behind. The sound of 'Unconditional' by Nick Mulvey was playing as the pair arrived at their ceremony."
After their first ceremony, the pair made their way, in rather unique transport, to their second ceremony location.
The bride's mother has by all accounts an incredible eye for decor and detail and assisted the pair in decorating the marquee.
"My cousin's beautiful handmade bunting (used first at her daughter's wedding in 2016) and also the natural surrounding from Thomas's garden, including some flower beds planted especially for that occasion by Joseph's mum. We borrowed candle holders and vases from family and friends, as I was to re-use where possible."
The couple was hired to feed their guests, by supplying drinks.
"Our cake was made by – Izzy creates the most amazing cakes which taste delicious. She designed a carrot cake, lemon, and blueberry cake along with a victoria sponge. It was three tiers. She is located in London."
"I am so lucky to possess so many good friends, but none of whom I desired to dress up in matching clothing. Friends played a role in the day in lots of other ways. I also wouldn't know how to start if I had needed to choose between them to become my bridesmaids!"
Words of Wedded Wisdom
"Make it personal. Think about why it is you are becoming married and be sure that that's front and center. If you can, make your ceremony! For us, it had been not about celebrating the fact that people had reached a stage within our relationship that people were prepared to make this commitment, instead, it had been about recognizing the gravity of the commitment I was making, asking us and friends gathered there on your day to be our witnesses to that particular promise and celebrating the beginning of our way of life as a husband and wife."

She'd fallen deeply in love with the clean, figure-hugging lines of designs, and decided on a gown having a hick's neck and plunging back, flowing right into a sexy, fluid train.
"The dress was always what I wanted for any wedding dress; I loved the simplicity of it."

The perfect gown was discovered and Marcie’s sister Carly wore gold wedges. Her niece, India, wore an adorable rose gold flower girl dress with gold shoes.
The wild, natural flowers and foliage in greens and creams were styled through the bride's sister Carly Wilson, an experienced florist, who's created this type of wonderfully elegant yet un-done look.
For the bride-to-be and groom, it had been love in the beginning sight once they met whilst traveling in Thailand.
"I was traveling having a friend and Gonzalo was too. We met around the island of Koh Tao in a beach club called Lotus. We spent per week together before I had to return to the UK."
"Gonzalo continued traveling along with a month later, I flew to travel Vietnam together for 2 weeks. That was whenever we realized we'd something special and Gonzalo chose to move to London and provide things a try."
"We got engaged in Greece – Kos. Gonzalo booked a restaurant having a sunset view and proposed soon after sunset. It was so magical, my happiest day ever."
At Hackney Town Hall, Gonzalo was waiting for that bride as she walked on the aisle together with her father, David, to 'End Titles' by Rachel Portman.
"We had a concept of what we wanted for the wedding photographers and we found that in Taylor-Hughes. They were in a position to capture the most amazing moments in a simple, classic way. We both truly love our wedding photos. Jack and Jade are a wonderful couple and extremely made our big day special effortlessly."
"Now I'm just waiting another moment that people can use them again."

Please meet primary school teacher and internet business owner Andy, who wed on 14 December 2019 in Norwich. The couple desired to make their intimate wedding cozy and welcoming for her 40 guests, developing a warm glow with a large number of sparkling fairy lights along with a rich, deep color pattern of burgundy and green.
The couple first met on a night out in Norwich and, seven years later, Andy proposed on the trip to New York.
"We met one another quite a few times before our first date. Things naturally progressed and after seven many years of being with Andy he proposed in my experience at a steak restaurant in New York."
"We got engaged around the 9th of April 2019 and we knew that we desired to get married at some point. Andy even mentioned in the speech how I paused when he inquired about as, in the words, I was totaling in the number of tea lights we'd need to decorate the venue!"
"Luckily, Dragon Hall had some availability before Christmas and I loved the thought of a Christmas wedding. After we finalized the date I became incredibly centered on planning a wedding within eight months."
To suit the December weather, Andy dressed inside a woolen navy suit from Norwich along with a burgundy tie, tying his try looking in with that from the bridesmaids, who wore sparkling, sequinned wrap velvet bridesmaid dresses.
The traditional Christmas color pattern was the most wonderful foil for Sarah’s selection of gowns, a pure white gown. Simply cut around the A-line, its lightly-fitted bodice is adorned with era-inspired beads and crystals before flowing right into a full, layered tulle skirt that appears simply magical at Christmas time.
"I was built with a good idea of what I desired to wear before selecting my dress, something comfortable and never too figures hugging that I couldn't dance inside it later. I wanted my arms out and I hoped I find something having a little vintage nod. I loved the beaded top and also the A-line skirt. I loved my entire outfit from my nan's pearl earrings to my sister's borrowed burgundy coat – which I borrowed right before having our photos taken."
"After viewing Camilla's photographs on Instagram I knew that I wanted her to capture our day. I loved her relaxed type of photographer which for all of us was about enjoying your day with us and capturing organic moments instead of structured photography."
"She includes great energy and everyone has commented on her behalf beautiful photographs. I would fully recommend her to the bride."
The Hall looked much more magical as night fell, and would be a wonderful setting for any party, with music from the local band, Jonnie Jump. The couple danced the cold December night away.
"Nearly all brides say it's the very best day of their lives and for me this was true. I loved it from beginning to end and when I could everything over again, such as the planning then I would inside a heartbeat. Marrying Andy was easy and also the rest was all a pleasure to complete really. My sister, Alice, got engaged on Christmas Eve this season so I'm hoping I can help her."

With the elements outside my window going for a decidedly grey turn as I sit to create this piece, today's magical celebration inside a beautifully restored and converted barn in October is giving me all the warm and cozy autumnal feelings I need.
Wherever you're, I hope it will the same for you, too. This is the wonderful wedding of Nadim, who both operate in advertising. Justine is an account manager, and Nadim works in strategic planning, plus they celebrated their marriage on 27 October 2019, around the coast just beyond St. Andrews, Scotland.
From the boutique online, Justine chose her beautifully romantic a line wedding dresses, using its striking floral lace embroidery and soft tulle overskirt. I love how you're able to see the lace design underneath the layers of dreamy tulle.
"I loved my dress because of its simplicity and natural flow on me. It would be a romantic dress, and that's what I fell deeply in love with. I also wore an embroidered veil."
"Because it had been autumn and Hallowe'en was right around the corner, we chose flowers that brought a rustic country feel to the wedding. Because it had been almost Halloween, pumpkins were key features."
Groom Nadim looked incredibly smart inside a burgundy tuxedo with contrasting black lapels along with a black velvet bow tie. This splendid attire is made for him by a Dubai-based designer – sadly not one other detail was supplied.
There would be a spectacular ceremony backdrop, full of seasonal beauties – evergreens, branches of turning autumn leaves, berries, grasses, and pumpkins.
Justine was accompanied on the aisle by her father, to some piano version of Coldplay's Yellow, and also the couple's ceremony was conducted with a bishop in the Syriac Orthodox Church.
"We met at the office, we dated for three years, and were engaged for just one year before getting married."
I love how Justine and Nadim's photographer captured the gorgeous atmosphere during the day in this beautiful number of images, in the cozy glow of Kinkell Byre's interior, towards the fading autumn light and rich colors of the year as Justine and Nadim took a stroll post-ceremony.
Delicious food was made, and there was also a table of various Scotch whiskies for guests to assist themselves.
"We decided on a four-tiered semi-naked cake by. We chose it since it fit the theme, and looked perfect around the wooden barrel that people placed it on."
Words of Wedded Wisdom
"Try to possess a consistent theme throughout, and become prepared for last-second hiccups because things are inevitable, yet it's important to let this stuff go by, and ensure you enjoy the wedding as much as possible."

Every occasionally, an editorial submission arrives that quite literally takes my breath away. This is one of them.
The concept behind this shoot is exquisite. It explores love without barriers and sweetness without convention. It also features a couple of our members, both of them incomparable and desired in their very own right.
She fell in love. It may happen to be his cheer optimism, his handsome smile, or his warmheartedness. He fell in love. It may happen to be her subtle air of mystery, her fiery locks, or her serein demeanor. They fell in love and love was all it mattered. They had one another and their love and also, since, the sun's rays shined just a little warmer and also the moon shimmered just a little brighter upon their lives. Although their held hands are frowned at as well as mocked by many – yes, even today-, there is such a magnetism between them as well as their loving gaze grew stronger for one another each passing day.
Nothing else mattered apart from the way they loved one another. The way their hands intertwined into courage and tenderness. The way they saw one another and the world. The way he held her face. The way she investigated his eyes.
Nothing else mattered. Only their trust. Their raw transparency with one another. The simple great thing about two lovers cherishing one another, without borders or frontiers.
And on that day, their unexplainable love- because what it's to explain about love after all became an eternal promise. To have one another, to gaze at one another, to hold one another, to love one another, enduring whatever came their way with similar passion, the same tenderness, and also the same love.
"I wrote those words immediately after I heard some racist words against an interracial couple, within my little quaint capital of Scotland - Orbe, Switzerland."
"Those words had become the storyboard, the thread that I followed when imagining this editorial."
"This editorial was conceived like a story of grace, highly inspired through the contrast between your sheer moonlight and also the dark blue sky in the evening."
"Playing with various fabrics, like silk chiffon and silk velvets, and textures, we attempted to accomplish a feeling of lightness with warm intimacy and refined elegance. I desired to create a feeling of classic elegance and contemporary minimalism, and above."
"Most of, every supplier I worked with about this editorial needed to represent people and businesses engaged in social causes – who have been passionate about sustainability."
"Our photographer knew how to use natural light to capture everything perfectly – focusing especially around the lovers as well as their natural interactions."
"The silken perfection of FeelTimes simple wedding dresses, the breathtaking and delightful cake produced by Bouchra, the sensual and delicate curves of Leïla's floral ring, the artistry and refined texture of Nora's wedding stationery – every element joined together to beautifully illustrate my vision."
"Manon our makeup artist enhanced the natural great thing about the bride and groom having a modern, natural look and lastly, our models and Mohamed simply made the whole story their very own. This was an ode to any or all lovers who can identify with themselves."
"We aimed to produce a story of the gentle and harmonious romance – but most importantly, a metaphor for social justice and also the celebration of love and sweetness without barriers or conventions."

This gorgeous, Autumn micro wedding in Oxford is only the ticket. Kelly and Ross tied the knot on 26th September 2020 having a ceremony at, then a reception.
Kelly found her elegant lace dress from FeelTimes online store.
"I knew I had found the mermaid wedding dress of my dreams when I saw the gorgeous floral train around the FeelTimes dress."
"We met online in 2013 in our hometown of Melbourne, Australia. We both had the travel bug at that time and realized on our first date that people were planning working holidays within the UK."
"Since that first date, we've been lucky to go to several countries together, making the move over towards the UK in 2016."
"Ross proposed on my small birthday in April 2019 on the day trip to Thyme England within the Cotswolds, on the walk within the stunning countryside nearby."
"We initially planned to marry in May 2020 in Australia, however, COVID-19 happened! We have postponed our larger celebration in Australia to 2021 but didn't wish to wait for any more to marry, therefore we decided to possess a micro wedding within the UK too."
"We stayed COVID-19 safe by social distancing and/or mask-wearing around the day when needed. We were lucky to marry outside the formal lockdowns which helped too! For example, I was allowed to possess a hair and make-up artist within our home."
For favors, the pair provide their adult guests having a copy of the Philip Pullman book 'Lyra's Oxford', reflecting the marriage theme from His Dark Materials. They were also given gin and whisky mini bottles in the Cotswolds Distillery.
"We didn't possess a budget per se. We were thinking about investing our budget right into a few key areas – especially where we're able to support smaller businesses that had inspired me on social networking for years – and save in areas which were less important for any micro wedding."
The bride has two very favorite memories from her day;
"Firstly, having our incredible friends and family join us via Zoom from Australia and overseas! It was incredible to determine our family members with us, albeit virtually! It was Saturday night in Australia and some of our friends and family made a celebration of it, incidents were dressing up as our wedding party."
"Secondly, enjoying our sit-down meal at our reception savoring our time with these friends, food, and amazing details – the tablescape, floral details, and cake especially. It was so lovely to consider it all in and revel in it in the end the changes we've experienced this season."
Words of Wedded Wisdom
"Although our day looked and felt different to the original large wedding planned for country Australia, it felt as special to us as we'd hoped. We were so happy around the day and remain looking forward to our future celebration in the future."
