Real Homespun DIY Wedding: Sam & Wade

This wedding is packed to the brim with DIY ideas and shabby-chic inspiration. Gorgeous bride, Sam, is a style pro, so she was bound to put together a truly exceptional wedding, and this one is a wonderful combination of eclectic styles. I'm loving Wade's gingham shirt and red bow-tie look, and Sam's bridesmaids' individual plaited hairstyles. The guests all sat on fabric-covered straw bales for the ceremony, which took place under a tree, chalked with the bride and groom’s initials. Other fabulous wedding details include the flower girl holding a balloon and a butterfly jar instead of a usual basket, the photo-rosette boutonnieres, and the hanging bottle vases. Also the vintage quilt-style tablecloth and the typewriter guest book. Plus {yes there's more!}, Sam's sparkly pink Christian Louboutins, Badgley Mishka ruffled wedding dress and Wade's cool moustached socks. Wow! Literally every wedding detail was personalised. Fantastic pictures published with thanks to the ladies at Simply Bloom Photography.

Real Brights & Gerbera Wedding: Lauren & Chris

Check out the colour palette at this wedding! Lauren and Chris celebrated their big day this summer in brilliant and bight style. I'm loving how bold they were - using hot pink, acid green and bright yellow takes some confidence, but they carried it off to great effect. My favourite touches are the bright pink petals lining the aisle up to the arbour where they said their vows, and of course, the vintage-style sweet shop with monogrammed takeaway pouches. Don't miss the pic featuring their invitations, cleverly designed to tie in with the bridesmaids' gerbera bouquets. Huge congratulations to Simply Bloom for their fabulous photographs.

Real Colourful 3-Day Morrocan Wedding: Stephanie & Anand

Prepare yourself for a blast of colour with this incredible destination wedding in Morocco! Stephanie and Anand celebrated their big day in Marrkech, in a three-day extravaganza, which included two wedding dresses and a camel, plus some serious partying. Stephanie arrived at the wedding in a litter carried by four robed men - way to make an entrance! It makes walking up the aisle look passé. I'm also loving the pink awnings and red carpets, plus these incredible two green thrones. Throw in all the wonderful traditional garlands of flowers, beautiful saris and a macaroon cake, and I'm in Moroccan heaven! Fantastic planning by Boutique Souk, and huge thanks to Joe Lasky Photography for his beautiful pictures.

Real Bright Summer Wedding: Kaelie & Drew

There's no doubt an all-white wedding is supremely elegant, but the bolder bride and groom should use colour to stamp their personality on their big day. Gorgeous couple Kaelie and Drew did just this at their fabulous wedding in September. Huge thanks to Simply Bloom Photography for these truly inspirational photographs. Loving the orange waistcoats!
