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!

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!

Real Spring Snowdrop Wedding Video: Stephanie & Gary

One of my biggest regrets from my wedding day is that we didn't choose a wedding videographer. Our budget was super-tight, and it was one of those things that slipped under our radar. I always thought wedding videos were long interminable things that no one ever actually watched after their wedding day. But that's all changed now, as wedding videographers have become more professional and downright fabulous. I'm particularly keen on the 'trailer-style' wedding shorts that videographers produce. These three minute wonders squish all the fabulousness of your wedding into a short and sweet video that you can forward to your friends and family by email, as a reminder of your big day. I'm loving the emotions caught this wedding video by Your Perfect Day, it made me well up to watch Stephanie and Gary say their vows - they look so happy! Get involved with the glimpses of all their wedding details - there's tonnes of stealworthy ideas - from Stephanie's gorgeous lacy wedding dress and Faith shoes, to the dessert buffet, menus, caricaturist, hyacinth ceremony flowers, luggage tag placemarkers and the fab succulents in Stephanie's bouquet and the ushers' buttonholes. Whew - now that's a whole lot of wedding inspiration in only three minutes!

Real Rainy Day Sunshine Yellow Wedding: Valerie & Jimmy

YELLOW! It's a happy colour, and it's the precise shade of my daffodils, that are dancing in the breeze on my roof terrace right now. It's also a great way to bring brightness to a winter wedding, as you can see from this fabulous rainy-day wedding. Valerie and Jimmy were worried about the chance of rain on their big day, but prepared for the worst with a polka-dotted umbrella and wellington boots, which made super-cool photo-props. There are sooo many details to copy from this wedding, I'm slightly beside myself. I'm loving everything about Valerie's outfit, from her stunning earrings and the flower in her hair, to the bustle and bloom detailing on her dress. Have you spotted the bridesmaid's daisy pomander? This old-fashioned style of bouquet is making a come-back this season, so consider creating several for your bridesmaids, or hang them off the backs of chairs at your reception. One last detail-spot; don't miss the table stationery. Valerie and Jimmy went for a love-bird motif, and the laser-cut detail on the place settings is simply gorgeous! This wedding is a lesson in gorgeous styling - huge thanks to Stephanie Williams for sharing her fabulous pictures.

Real English Countryside Mansion Wedding: Naomi & Simon

If you're planning an English countryside wedding then you're going to find tonnes of wedding inspiration from this gorgeous spring-time wedding. Gorgeous bride, Naomi chose sage green as her theme colour, and kept her wedding details clean and elegant. I'm loving her bridesmaids' dresses with their feminine sashes, and the way their pearl accessories tied in with Naomi's stunning halterneck gown. Other fantastic stealworthy ideas include the single arum lily table flowers {cheap but chic}, and the lovely linear stationery {again in green}. Wedding favours were minature cakes in cute boxes - always hugely popular with guests, and a great way to make sure the wedding cake doesn't go to waste. Naomi and Simon chose the lovely Maunsel House in Taunton as their wedding venue, and I'm loving the historic feel to their intimate dining room. Fab pictures published with thanks to Howard Keith Photography.
