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 Jewel Coloured Wedding: Roni & Peleg

Sit down and prepare yourself for an inspirational overload. Believe me, it's enough to make you go weak at the knees. The lovely Roni and Peleg chose a gorgeous palette of purples, lilacs and royal blue. Throw in a touch of the softest pink, and you've got a wedding-style made in heaven. Other stealworthy ideas include the extravagant white-themed sweetie bar, the French macaroons and the beribboned chairs, and I'm l-o-v-i-n-g Roni's Romona Keveza mermaid dress. To copy this couple's style, consider using dark table cloths with white accessories for a dramatic evening look. Many thanks to Stephanie Williams for her smashing pictures, she's fantastic at spotting every detail - just what we like!

Real DIY Colourful Wedding: Sarah & Rick

Sarah and Rick's gorgeous colourful wedding was entirely DIY'd thanks to the help of multiple friends, an inspiration in itself, and that's before we've started on the details! Particular praise has to go to florist Rhonda Stoffel for her fabulous autumnal blooms. I love how the bridesmaids' bouquets pop against their dark blue dresses, and that each maid has her own style of dress. It's so much kinder than putting all your girlfriends in matching outfits, unless they're all top models. I'm also adoring the colourful chuppah and table dressings, and the long, family style seating plan, plus the multi-coloured mini lanterns decorating the trees. Totally fabulous photographs as ever from the brilliant Jessamyn Harris - particularly the last shot of the wedding party hamming it up - hilarious!

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 DIY Farm Wedding: Lauren & Zack

Yeehaw! Go cowgirl! This wedding is full of rural American details, from the bridesmaids' cowboy boots, to the pickup truck transport and the rustic wooden celebration signs. Talk about original style! Lauren and Zack's big day was a DIY affair from start to finish, with family members helping out with every aspect. I love the homespun vintage look they achieved - to copy their style use herbs in your table displays, fill old jam jars with chunky candles and leave your cake un-iced. Gorgeous photos as ever from the lovely team at Our Labour of Love.
