Real Botanical Themed Wedding: Josi & Jamess Part 2

Botanical-themed wedding Part 2. Such was the fabulousness of this gorgeous South African wedding by We Love Pictures, I had to split it into two! So if you missed the first part, click here. This is truly one of my favourite weddings of all time. Gorgeous Josi and Jamess celebrated their big day in some serious style, and there's tonnes of wedding details you're going to want to steal. Let's start with the bridesmaids' Grecian pink dresses in ombre shades, the flower girls in white with floral crowns and the handsome ushers in marching blue suits with pink ties. Then there's the gorgeous wild wedding flowers, both in the bouquets and tied to the chairs along the aisle. I'm also obsessed with Josi's beautiful half-up, half-down wedding hair-style and her feathery dress, teamed with a cathedral veil. The venue is incredible, the pictures are beautiful, everything is perfect *sigh*!

Real Botanical Themed Wedding: Josi & Jamess

I've seen a lot of pretty weddings but this one has taken the biscuit! It's another one of those fabulous big days that have so many incredible details, I had to split it in two. So in a bit of a switcheroo, here are the wedding reception details first! Wedding themes can become slightly formulaic, so I'm thrilled to introduce a completely new wedding idea - the botanical themed wedding. Styled by the insanely talented Heike from Fleur Le Cordeur, just take a look at the incredible vegetable and flower displays at Josi and Jamess' wedding. I'm loving the vegetables displayed under bell-jars, the red onions spilling out of vases, mini-lettuce sin sweet glass-jars and leggy leek flowers. Only flowers that bloom on vegetable plants, fruit trees and herbs were used - wow! I'm also loving the soft striped table cloths, the pure white of the marquee and the twisted branch chandeliers. If you're wondering about the beautiful botanical-style table numbers and table plan, they're by The Secret Diary who have tonnes of incredible wedding stationery ideas on their website. Huge thanks to the massively talented team at We Love Pictures. Their photographs are always blow-your-mind beautiful. With suppliers like the crew at this wedding, who wouldn't want to get married in South Africa?!

Real Pink Peony & Sparkle Wedding: Kristian & Skyler

It's not often that a set of wedding pictures makes me laugh out loud, but you wait until you get down to the picture of Kristian and Skyler kneeling to receive their blessing. Skyler's best man and older brother decided to play a joke on him, and decorated the soles of his shoes - genius! Gorgeous wedding details you'll want to copy include the elegant teal theme, reflected in the bridesmaids' dresses and the vintage brooches fastening their bouquets. Kristian's dress is just exquisite, and her cathedral-length veil is super-romantic. Their cake is a work of art, and loving the mismatched tiers, and the break from tradition. I'm not sure how it didn't topple over, but it looks fab! Gorgeous pictures thanks to the lovely ladies over at Simply Bloom Photography.

Amazing Vintage Tea-Party Wedding Shoot

Vintage brides are going to love this feature! The lovely ladies at Rosebud Vintage Tea invited Dominic Whiten to one of their recent wedding to take pictures of their vintage wedding props and delicious cakes. As soon as I glimpsed the pictures {Facebook-stalker alert}, I knew they'd be the perfect wedding inspiration for any bride considering a vintage tea-party for their wedding. There's tonnes of wedding inspiration, from the fantastic fancy-dress box, to the colourful bunting, handmade jamjar votives and ribbon-tied cutlery. Other stealworthy wedding ideas include the vintage typewriter guest book, the old-fashioned striped straws and the lovely children's activity corner - such a good idea to keep nippers occupied. Huge thanks to Dominic for his gorgeous pictures, and Rosebud Vintage Tea for making me hungry!
