Real Nautical Stripes Themed Wedding: Irma & Willem

Beach-loving brides are going to fall for this intimate seaside wedding, fresh from South African photographers welovepictures. Lucky couple, Willem and Irma, celebrated their big day on a beautiful stretch of unspoilt beach, surrounded by fresh air, a few happy sea gulls and their closest family and friends. They chose an unfussy nautical theme, with blues, stripes and beautiful clouds of baby's breath flowers, and let the landscape speak for itself. That isn't to say there aren't tonnes of wedding details to copy - there are loads! I love the mismatched bunting, the jam-jar vases tied with striped ribbon, the cute mojitos labels, the fan wedding favours and beach blankets. Irma's wedding dress is exquisite - the lace and detailing are reminiscent of Claire Pettibone wedding dresses. More beautiful details of the wedding service coming soon, including the best sparkler send-off ever!

Real Royal Blue Beach Wedding: Catherine & Wesley

Beach weddings are always fantastic fun. There's something about the sea and the sand that encourages people to kick off their heels and feel like they're on holiday. Catherine and Wesley got lucky on their April wedding day, with beautiful spring weather by the Kent seaside. I'm loving how Your Perfect Day has captured the light-hearted mood in this fab wedding video trailer. Watch for tonnes of fab wedding details, from Catherine's elegant A-line wedding dress, chignon and tiara, to the royal blue theme colour and the pretty butterfly wedding cake. They even had a confetti shower over their first dance!

Real Hawaiian Destination Wedding: Allison & Scott

As we all prepare for our summer holidays, it seems only right to feature a destination wedding, and it doesn't get more destination than Hawaii. Allison and Scott chose the Hotel Hana Maui for their big day, and celebrated their vows in its gorgeous manicured grounds. I've completely fallen for these light-hearted photographs by Punam Bean - I'm particularly loving the one where the horse eats Allison's bouquet, and the fun coconut shots. Allison kept her wedding style simple and elegant, she chose not to wear a veil, and walked down the aisle with just an exotic flower in her hair. Her gorgeous wedding gown had a lace-overlay and slight train, and she carried a stunning bouquet of white roses. The wedding favours were straw fans, and white parasols were handed out the guests to protect them in the heat - love this idea! Don't miss the pics of the reception, Allison and Scott decorated the wedding venue with white paper lanterns - a cheap and chic way to add interest - definitely a fab wedding idea to copy.

Real Bahamian Beachside Wedding: Jade & Matt

Hands up who wishes they were in the Bahamas right now? Well I'm afraid these wedding pics aren't going to help. Taken by the gorgeous team at Our Labour of Love, you can almost feel the sulty heat and smell the sea breeze. Close your eyes, and you'll hear the slap of waves agains the wooden jetty, and the clatter of palm branches. Okay, fantasy over, now it's time to get down to the steal-worthy ideas. The best thing about a destination wedding is that you can save a fortune on flowers and decorations, as the location does it all for you. Check out the gorgeous palm arbour where they Jade and Matt said their vows, and the exquisite, simple, white button-holes. I'm also head-over-heels for the boys' suits - neutral linen = totally gorgeous.
