A Summer Barn Wedding with a Music Theme - The Reception

With a music theme, several naked wedding cakes and a stunning barn wedding venue, this has got to be one of my favourite big days from last summer. Katy and Mark chose the stunning countryside of West Sussex for their wedding, and added tonnes of inspirational details to their reception. My faves have to be the personalised, CD wedding favours {entitled 'Do Me A Favour', the simple but sweet menu cards and the picture-perfect bunting. Even the wedding portraits are gorgeous - I love Katy's pretty parasol {buy similar here} - a great photo prop that could come in handy in a shower! Big love to Kelly from Lola Rose Photography for her beautiful wedding photographs.

We celebrated our wedding on 17th August with a ceremony at St Andrews Church in Steyning, followed by our reception at Bartholomew Barn, Kirdford, West Sussex.

A Summer Barn Wedding with a Music Theme

This beautiful church wedding has got me dreaming about summer! Lovely bride and groom, Katy and Mark celebrated their big day in August, with a music themed, barn reception. I love the put-together look of their wedding - Katy chose a stunning blue for her colour palette, and her bridesmaids look gorgeous in their House of Brides gowns, teamed with frothy lilac hydrangea bouquets. Hydrangeas may well be my favourite bouquet blooms of all time! They're so pretty, and they take up so much space, that they may well save your budget. The ushers all looked fab in their matching River Island suits, plus blue cravats to match the bridesmaids. Other stealworthy ideas include Katy's glam Bridget Bardot-style half-up do, her fabulous Alfred Sung wedding gown, and their brilliant vintage-style wedding invitations {designed by a very talented friend!}. Huge thanks to the lovely Kelly from Lola Rose Photography for capturing every detail - I've got more from their Bartholomew Barn coming soon!

My sister's friend Becky designed our brilliant wedding invitations, which were in the style of a vintage theatre poster.

Real Winter Wedding: Christa & Jason

With all the sunshine we've been having recently, it's easy to forget the winter, but this gorgeous wedding will bring the crisp cold back into your life! Christa and Jason got married just as the snow started to melt, and check out its timeless, vintage feel. Huge brownie points to Christa for choosing a unique feathery headpiece rather than a veil, and isn't her flower-girl just the cutest? I want a pair of white fluffy ear-warmers for this winter too! What's more, I've been forecasting the return of the pomander for winter weddings, and Christa was right there ahead of the curve with these pink and lilac beauties. Fabulous inspiration for winter brides. Big love to Simply Bloom for these gorgeous pictures.

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 Quintessentially London Wedding: Cynthia & Tom - Part 2

Time for the second part of this exquisite London wedding, and it's wedding reception detail time! It's stealworthy ideas a-go-go, with beautiful bridesmaids in Reiss dresses, a groom wearing striped socks, and a beautiful bride in a 40's style wedding dress by Luci Di Bella. I love the fabulous Lincoln’s Inn Fields venue, with its historic hall and beautiful gardens. Cynthia and Tom kept with the vintage theme, choosing silver vases and vessels with lilac roses and lavender, with ornate wedding menus decorated with tassels and the Lincoln's Inn monogram. Favours reflected Cynthia's Australian heritage, with custom-made stubbies for the boys and Australian-made soaps for the girls. For a list of more of the wedding vendors, scroll on down. Huge thanks to Nikole Ramsay for her beautiful wedding pictures, and don't miss Part 1 here.

Real Quintessentially London Wedding: Cynthia & Tom

As a London bride myself, I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for London weddings. Throw in a vintage theme, a gorgeous bride, and fabulous wedding photographer, Nikole Ramsay, and I'm sold! You're going to love Cynthia and Tom's beautiful big day. They married at the historic Lincoln's Inn Chapel, on a perfect 30 degree day {you see, they do happen!}. The Inn is a charming oasis of clam in one of the busiest parts of London, and its stunning gardens are the perfect location for an elegant wedding reception. Take a look at Nikole's lovely pictures to spot all my favourite wedding ideas to steal. I love Cynthia's beautiful vintage-inspired Luci Di Bella wedding gown, her simple but stunning pearl earrings, and the pretty lilac she chose for her bridesmaids' dresses and wedding theme colour. Lavender was strewn at the entrance of the chapel, so guests released the scent as they walked up the aisle to take their seats - isn't this the best idea? Don't miss more fabulous details from this wedding in Part 2 - coming soon!
