“Your wedding, your day! Do want makes you both happy and not what pleases your family. If the guests you invite want to share your special day with you they will come wherever it is”
This lovely advice was from a gorgeous bride who came all the way up to Scotland to get married in a place that was very important to her and her fiancé. They poured masses of love and energy into planning a day that was meaningful to them and it was a beautiful day.
Rustic chic and pared back glamour, Bridgeton inspired weddings and tropical glamour…..Apparently these are just some of the must have trends for the weddings this season! Wedding planning websites, Instagram and Pinterest are all full of advice on how to have an insta worthy wedding, but do you really need a theme, a style or a colour scheme and how on earth do you choose?
After a break last week to try to get caught up, it’s nice to be back with another wedding guide! After the flurry of snow at the end of February, it’s been lovely to see the first signs of spring emerging, the riot of crocuses at the school gates, the trees tipped with green shoots and some early daffodils are all beautiful reminders that the good weather is just around the corner.
This week I really wanted to focus on flowers and florals for weddings and some fabulous options that don’t break the bank
It’s no coincidence that, with the exception of December, the driest months are also the most popular for weddings. A warm, dry day is usually pretty high on most couples (and photographers!) wish lists for the big day but unlike a DJ or car hire, sadly the weather isn’t something you can book in advance!
The tradition of throwing flower petals and rice paper over newly married couples has evolved a little since the ancient romans who threw rice to symbolise fertility, the custom evolved, and people showered newlyweds with corn, barley and wheat for good luck and prosperity ever since. In recent times this has evolved into glitter, dried flowers, artificial petals and even popcorn to not just wish the couple well, but also create a stunning image.
One of the reasons that confetti shots are so popular is because unlike a traditional group shot, you get some really natural, happy reactions, everyone is so busy throwing handfuls of petals, they stop posing and focus on who can throw the most!
