Helen & Julian’s English country garden wedding

Lots and lots of pink, a country church and school, and an English country guest house… all planned from across the world in Dubai. But these two are English at heart and brought the party to the family. Feast your eyes on the Union Jack shoes, pink accents, and sword cake cutting, too!

Melany & David’s small handmade garden party wedding

Sometimes couples are confronted with traditions they love and offbeat trends they love, and somehow have to meld it all into a cohesive celebration. These two did that and more. Take special note of the amazing DIY doily archway, the intricate centerpieces, and the tear-filled groom — *swoon.* Come for the lawn games, stay for the sentiment of the group poetry reading.

Allison & Christopher’s simple sunflowery garden wedding

This couple opted for a simple, sweet morning ceremony and a casual brunch for a day full of flowers, bubbles, and lots of love. Summer, sunflowers, sun streaming through the trees… I’m bookmarking this wedding for dark winter days.

Hanneke & Laurens’ relaxed Dutch botanical garden wedding

After having to postpone the wedding for health reasons, these two Dutch grad students pulled together their laid-back party with surprise folk dances, interactive games and quizzes, and loads of DIY with friends and family. They also had a gorgeous botanical garden as the backdrop, but only five minutes of sunshine was found the whole day!
