Peacock feathers, a pirate band, and lobster wrestling at this Derbyshire wedding
Becky and Adam’s steampunk-y wedding had all the trappings we love about steampunk AND some epic fashion including a lavender dress we crave by The Couture Company. On top of that, there’s s pirate band, tug ‘o’ war, and lobster wrestling. Yep, you didn’t misread any of that. It’s all there and it’s all fabulous. It all took place at The West Mill in Derbyshire, UK.
Don’t miss the bride’s steamy headpiece and the peacock feather details!
A fairylit wedding in the woods (with flower kitty and folk dancing)
“It was a woodsy, naturalistic fall-themed wedding with twinkling lights all around. The magpie aesthetic showcased the uniqueness of found items, like an old chandelier hanging from a tree, a tiny bicycle covered with ivy, a table made from an old tree stump. The setup followed the natural curvature of the forest, which led to an asymmetrical seating pattern and the bridal party coming in from the side.” Just from that you can tell this wedding is going to be SOMETHING. Get ready to be wowed by the beauty of this fairylit wedding in the woods…
A Renaissance fantasy Christmas wedding (aka “A Lord of the Rings Christmas Special!”)
When people asked about our wedding, we joked that the theme was, "Lord of the Rings Christmas Special." Shane is a huge Tolkein nerd, and we both love Renaissance faires and fantasy. Our wedding was in December, his favorite color is red, and mine is green, so throwing Christmas in just made sense. It came together beautifully.
Flowers & whimsy galore at this forest wedding in Sebastopol
Claire and Eric’s are super talented people who DIYed the hell out of their lovely forest wedding in Sebastopol. Eric harnessed his graphic design skills and they crafted whimsical brass animals, floating paper cranes, HUGE paper flowers (a favorite!), and paper crowns for all the guests, UK-style.
Nominee for most adorable moment: instead of a first dance, the couple serenaded their guests with “I Can’t Help Falling In Love With You,” returning to their college show choir roots where they first met. You’ve got to see this flower-filled wedding that shows off this couple’s serious DIY skills…
