All aboard this gorgeous steam train wedding with a museum party in Manchester, UK
A ceremony on the platform and a wedding breakfast on an original steam train through East Lancashire in Manchester, UK. Are you kidding me with this amazingness? They danced the night away in a transport museum to top off the theme. Unconventional spaces are some of the most interesting ways to make your wedding something different and Katie and Paul ROCKED it.
Don’t miss their choice to have everyone rock in Mancunian style to an all-woman acoustic string group.
Two brides in Wonderland with flamingoes, rainbows, & amazing street art
Jules and Katie got married in the urban district of Digibeth in Central Birmingham, England, and wanted to feature some of the amazing mural art that lives there. For the theme, it was all rainbows meets Alice in Wonderland with the most adorable little designs of themselves as the Mad Hatter and Queen of Hearts. They were included on the cake toppers, biscuits, placecards, and more. It was ADORABLE. J
Don’t miss the first dance lit up by hundreds of little torches held by their guests and all of the pink flamingo touches…
Get ready to fall hard for this Jewish-Mexican wedding in Oxford, England
I am a rabbi’s daughter from New York, while Anna grew up in Mexico City (we met in England in an aerial dance class, as one does). Rather than choosing one cultural tradition, we decided to do everything that was important to us.
We now live in the British countryside, so that became part of the wedding aesthetic as well, with Anna mixing a colourful Mexican colour palette and bouquet of succulents with a tweed jacket and her polo whites.
How to plan a more ethical wedding (including an edible bouquet!)
When I was preparing for my own wedding I started thinking: how could we do this more ethically? The very nature of a wedding being a one day event, and in many cases an extravaganza of guests and details and expense, means that inevitably there are waste issues, or worries about whether certain things are “worth it.” So, how can we do things more ethically? What should we look for in an ethical supplier? How do we do the very best that we can do?
Jaws will drop at the style of this Jamaican meets English garden wedding
Alex and Toyan flew back from Qatar all the way to Yorkshire, UK to get married at Alex’s family home surrounded by their loved ones. This pair, a DJ and an artist, has major style and it shows in the groom’s red suit, suuuper slick wedding party outfits, and the bride’s modern meets classic short gown. Just try to look at these party photos and try to imagine anything more fun. You can’t, right? We all got FOMO looking at that epic party.
Our big gay pagan rainbow woodland festival wedding
We had guests from as far apart as Japan, California, and Germany. We tried to invoke all the things we loved in our wedding day — geeky nods to Harry Potter, His Dark Materials, Jonathan Coulton, and the Lord of the Rings; the Obergefell v Hodges ruling for Jess's career and theatrical touches for mine. We asked our guests to wear 'whatever makes you feel pretty.' We then celebrated with ice cream, lawn games, and street food, and ended the evening with a ceilidh and session. Oh, and there was an owl, and llamas.
