Amazing Rainbow Honeymoon Shoot

So I need to come clean - I've actually posted this honeymoon shoot before, but my newborn baby has decided to have a growth spurt this week, so I've had no chance to do any blogging! Instead I bet on the fact some of you lovely brides-to-be might not have spotted this fabulousness in Before the Big Day's archives. Combining a rainbow theme and hot air balloons, it's a dreamy concoction that ticks every one of my blogging boxes. Shot by Jose Villa, and style by Joy Thigpen, it's too perfect for words. Don't you wish you could be swept away in a hot air balloon the morning after your wedding? So romantic! P.S. For more from Before the Big Day's archives, be sure to take a look at our Real Weddings, Wedding Themes and 2013 Wedding Trends.

Real Nautical Stripes Themed Wedding: Irma & Willem - Part 2

If you're dreaming of your summer holiday, you're going to love Part 2 of this blissful beachside wedding. With wedding details galore, many of them DIY, you're going to want to add every one to your Pinterest page. I'm loving Irma's wedding style - her stunning romantic dress, her casual side ponytail and her glamorous red lipstick. Add in the fabulous vintage campervan, the striped wedding reception details, and the adorable rustic placemarkers with airplane badge favours, and I'm a happy wedding blogger! Don't miss the DIY'd jamjar lights, and the polaroid guest book - fab ideas to copy for your own wedding. Gorgeous pictures published with thanks to the talented team at welovepictures.

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!
