A Crafty, Budget Friendly Yellow + Grey Weddding ~ UK Wedding Blog ~ Whimsical Wonderland Weddings

 

Look it’s the gorgeous Lauren and Daniel, whose engagement shoot i featured back in January. Yay… i love following a couple’s wedding story :-)

Lauren and Daniel were married in March at Bluntswood Hall in Hertfordshire. They wanted their day to be crafty and budget friendly with a yellow and dark grey theme.

I love this couples laid back approach, they gave themselves 6 months to plan their beautiful day.  I love the colour scheme, which works really subtly, with the bright pops of yellow in the stripey paper bags, the flowers, the bunting and ribbons.

Thanks so very much to Miki Photography for sharing his gorgeous imagery with us today.…

A Budget + Stylish DIY Wedding in Brighton

A Budget + Stylish DIY Wedding in Brighton ~ UK Wedding Blog ~ Whimsical Wonderland Weddings

 

I so love it when WWW readers get in touch with me, especially readers who submit their super duper beautiful weddings :-)

Vivienne  and Peter were married in July of last year in Brighton, followed by a village hall reception full of fab DIY and crafty elements they put together themselves. I especially love the LOVE sign in lights, totally fun and funky.

Vivienne looks amazing in her stylish gown and accessories, as does groom Peter. I am head over heels for the blue hydrangeas in this wedding, it reminds me why they are one of my favourite blooms. Their day was brought together on a budget of just £5000, which was totally family friendly. Its great to see the children having as good of a time as their parents.

Thanks so much to Hugh Fox for sharing his images with us today…

A Simple + Fun DIY Wedding

A Simple + Fun DIY Wedding ~ UK Wedding Blog ~ Whimsical Wonderland Weddings

Morning {www}ers, i have a really fun wedding to share this morning. Philippa and Monty held their wedding reception at a really lovely church hall which gave a brilliant blank canvas to their whimsy wedding décor. With bunting, balloons, cupcakes and blooms, they had everything looking oh so pretty.

I really love Philippa’s vintage frock with pretty pink petticote, she looks just divine. This wedding was kept simple, with the focus on everyone of the guests having a great time.

Thanks so much to Mustard Yellow Photography for sharing their images today.…

A 1950s Inspired, Beau Buttons Wedding
23.04.2012

A 1950s Inspired, Beau Buttons Wedding ~ UK Wedding Blog ~ Whimsical Wonderland Weddings

 

Morning {www}ers, i am super excited by the wedding i have to start the week with.

The beautiful bride Emma, is one of my wedding industry friends and a www sponsor with her company Beau Buttons, in which Emma creates stunning button bouquets. I have to admit as i was preparing this feature i did get a little emotional :-) as i met Emma and her family back in November and they are the loveliest of people.

Emma and Scott were married in December at one of my favourite local venues, the gorgeous South Farm in Royston. Emma and Scott had an amazing team of suppliers involved in their wedding, which hardly comes as a surprise with Emma’s wedding industry credentials :-)

They wanted to create a fun 1950s inspired winter wedding, which was also suitable for their children to enjoy. Emma wanted to DIY her way to a beautifully crafted day, and even had craft days with her bridesmaids. After All Emma does have artistic and crafty skills so she certainly put those to good use and the bouquets she created for her wedding were just amazing. There are details galore here, and so much inspiration for you all.

I totally love Emma’s bridal look, with an original 1950s wedding dress, fun red accents and those fabulous shoes. Lets not forget Scott  wearing those red converse… too cool!

I am also thrilled to be sharing one of my industry friends work for the first time today, the lovely Emma Woodhouse AKA The Wedding Reporter, who was at Emma and Scott’s wedding to record their wedding with beautiful words. Here is an extract of their wedding report by Emma.

“Voices hushed at the sound of heels clicking across the tiled floor. Heads swivelled and eyes lit up to see a bevy of bridesmaids casually entering the room in a stylish sweep of red and black. With mismatching little black dresses, individual shoes and red flowers in their hair, Emma’s stylish entourage made their way to the front rows of the room to take their seats for her arrival.

Huge smiles broke out across their faces in anticipation of everybody else’s reaction to what was coming. As they pulled hankies and cameras from their clutch bags, they chatted excitedly across the aisle to other guests, steeling themselves for the bride’s entrance.

“I’ve already cried once so far!” exclaimed one of the bridesmaids, fumbling for a pack of tissues. “There’s no way I’m going to make it through this with dry eyes!”

Beneath the hum of excited chatter, Scott and Danny stood at the front of the room, joking with the registrar. Despite the jovial outward appearance, Scott’s hands belied his nerves with constant motion, wringing one another, unable to stay dormant in the final few moments.

The registrar asked the assembly to stand and the feverish chatter subsided into hushed anticipation as every head in the room turned to face the entrance. The sound of The Dixie Cups harmonious voices seeped into the room and grins broke out along the aisle as the sound of Going to the Chapel floated down the aisle before the bridal party.

Two flower girls appeared in the doorway like little blonde Christmas angels. Wearing matching white dresses with black sashes and red fur stoles they marched into the room, looking up at the sea of faces staring back at them. Proudly holding their black and white button bouquets in front of them, they confidently walked the length of the aisle with excited, fixed grins on their faces.

The two little girls prepared the way for Jack and Molly and the congregation collectively, and audibly, swooned. A sighing coo circulated underneath the rafters of the barn as Jack, in waistcoat and red tie, skilfully held the ring cushion aloft in front of him, whilst his sister in her pure white dress and fur stole carried her own red button bouquet.

The older bridesmaids audibly buzzed and leant forward in anticipation to catch a first glimpse of what was next.

Stepping through the decorated double doors on the arm of her mother, Emma held her head high in excited happiness as she surveyed the room before her. The matching red splashes of her shoes and lipstick together with her red button bouquet injected colour, triumph and celebration into the room whilst her knee length, long-sleeved lace tea dress cinched her figure to cinematically tiny proportions.

Glancing over at her mother with a private giggle, Emma was the very picture of a glowing bride. She smiled so broadly at her guests but her eyes darted to the length of the room, desperately seeking out Scott. With the faces of the wedding party turned towards her and spilling out into the aisle she could not see him; her heart pumped faster, her smile grew wider.

And then there they were, facing each other at the head of the aisle, in front of all their friends and family. Speechless and overwhelmed, Scott fought to retain his composure as his fiancé laughed giddily at his appreciative response. The music swelled as Scott took her hands, looked over every inch of her and, when words failed him for the emotion choked in his throat, mouthed “Wow” with unabashed admiration.”

Wow isn’t that beautiful, i bet you cannot wait to scroll down now :-)

Thanks so much to the amazing Haywood Jones Photography for sharing her gorgeous images with us today…

A Mismatched, Homemade Vintage Wedding  ~ UK Wedding Blog ~ Whimsical Wonderland Weddings

 

Steve and Ellie wanted their wedding to be fun and relaxed yet filled with vintage, antique and handmade treasures to represent their personality in a mismatched way.

Ellie wore the most stunning pastel yellow vintage dress, with a big bow on the back and i am head over heels for her daisy bouquet… so so pretty. Lets not forget Steve who looks very dapper in a slim fit mod style suit, grooms take note.

They borrowed, crafted, rummaged and roped in family and friends to create a pretty and fun wedding full of details. With vintage penguin books for each guest, mismatched china, whimsical cakes and cake toppers. Ellie and Steve sure did create a unique and personal day to them.

Thanks so much to the fabulous Caro Hutchings Photography for sharing her stunning images with us today:
