Real Wedding: Ella & Sam
It's difficult to define romance, but for me, this gorgeous Greenwich wedding gets right to the heart of the matter. Ella and Sam celebrated their big day at Rangers House in the park, followed by a lovely dinner at Davy's Wine Vaults. Both of them looked totally fabulous, but I've falled head over heels for Sam's floral shirt and bow-tie. Super-original and lovely to see a groom looking fashionable - boys, be inspired! Violets and Velvet were responsible for the florals, and I'm loving the pink roses and eucalyptus in Ella's bouquet. Other stealworthy ideas have to be the bridesmaids' amazing sequinned jackets and patterned tights, plus the double-decker bus. Note sure why, but I've always had a soft spot for the Routemaster. Stunning pictures thanks to the lovely Chloe Browne from Caught the Light.

Real Wedding: Vicki & Leo
If you're looking to create a glamorous countryside wedding, prepare to be inspired by this gorgeous Sussex affair. Vicki and Leo picked royal blue and delicate lilac as their signature colours, and their florist did them proud, with extravagant table displays and stunning bouquets. Hate tents? Check out the unusual glass marquee which meant their guests could make the most of the beautiful weather, and star-gaze once the sun went down. Vicki looked fabulous on her big day, steal her boho style by choosing a necklace you love, and then wearing it as a circlet around your forehead. Don't miss the ushers' matching waistcoats and ties, which were all designed by Vicki's bespoke men's tailoring business, Ad Hominem. Gorgeous photographs as ever from the lovely Ken Buist.

Real Wedding: Jackie & Aaron
Jackie and Aaron's wedding was a riot of colour, with rich purples jostling alongside vibrant red, pink, turquoise and orange. The decadent-luxe theme continued with grand candelabra and drapes, plus Indian inspired drapes and incredible florals. The happy couple celebrated their big day in New York, but with that much detailing, they could have been anywhere in the world. Perfect inspiration for couples looking to create an international theme to their back-yard big day. Huge thanks to Karen Wise for her gorgeous pictures.
