Katy & Aytan’s potluck picnic wedding in the park

I just love simple and sweet weddings filled with love and no pretension. Give me a potluck in the park with the nearest and dearest and I’m sold. This wedding has that and a whole lot of sweetness between the couple. Just don’t accuse the groom of crying — it was obviously just his hair gel getting in his eyes.

Anna & Jon’s family and sweets, hot-day wedding

On a VERY rare blazingly hot day in the UK, this colorful pair donned their respective purple veil and top hat to get married. Their goals were charmingly simple: family, sweets, and color. Oh, and don’t forget to check out the giant mob of long-haired and bearded men!

Hayley & Stephen’s 1950s polka dot wedding

They could have hopped a plane to Vegas, but why not capitalize on how good the groom looks with Teddy Boy hair and rock a 1950s theme? Add in a three-piece live band, black flamingo accents, and LOTS of polka dots, and the theme is made!

Gillian & Mark’s offbeat lite transatlantic wedding

This wedding packs a visual punch with a gorgeous cathedral in Scotland, awesome kilts, and most amazing sunny day for the UK. The handmade dress (made by the bride’s mother!) is a testament to craftsmanship. Oh, and the gorgeous art deco-inspired cake, and unexpected wedding crashers are worth a look too!

How come the cold and grey UK gets all the hot weddings?

When Paul Thurlow Photography sent us this wedding, I believe Ariel’s word was “GORGE.” Lush photos, an eerie gray day (my favorite kind), and major style all wrapped up in some classic traditions was the name of this game. Vicky is an alternative model and Rob is a guitarist in the rock band Dead PinUps, located in the UK. They both exude dark, rock glamour and the camera loooooves them.
