Happy Wednesday everyone, I hope you are all doing well and enjoying the week so far. I am off on holiday today for a week, which I am very excited about! We are off to Devon for ‘Gone Wild Festival’ I don’t think there will be much rest and relaxation going on! I might need another holiday by the time I get back! I will be leaving you with lots of lovely wedding content while I’m away starting with this beautiful cozy autumn wedding that took place at Loloma Lodge in Oregon. Kim and Peter held an intimate wedding where they brought their love of the outdoors inside with a gorgeous sage green and terracotta colour palette. The whole day was warm, magical and totally them, all captured to perfection by Lindsay Blair Photography.
All our favourite people in one place making some of our favourite memories in one of the most dreamy and magical locations!
Kim and Peter were married on 25th October at Loloma Lodge, McKenzie Bridge, Oregon. ‘We had heard about the venue from a family member, one of those, “I saw this venue and it reminded me of you guys!” This was well before we were even engaged, but it was always in the back of our minds. When it came time to picking a venue, we searched for something similar that was closer to our home state of Michigan, but we couldn’t find anything that gave us that same dreamy and cozy feeling as Loloma. We both have always wanted a destination wedding, and we thought this venue was perfect for us. We had 28 guests. Since we were really set on a fall wedding, we planned the entire wedding in about 4.5 months!’

There’s something magical about packing your bags, hopping on a plane, and saying “I do” somewhere far from home. Whether it’s the turquoise shimmer of the Mediterranean or snow-capped mountains rising behind you, the right location sets the tone for the entire celebration.
Choosing where to go isn’t just about picking a beautiful place. It’s about finding a spot that feels like the two of you. Some couples want white sand and barefoot vows, while others are drawn to cobblestone streets and centuries-old architecture. Here are a few destinations that have a way of turning a wedding into something unforgettable.
Where to Go for a Destination Wedding

Santorini, Greece
If romance had a colour palette, Santorini would be its muse. The island is a swirl of whitewashed houses, sapphire-domed churches, and pink bougainvillaea spilling down the hillsides. There’s an almost cinematic quality to it, golden sunsets over the caldera, soft breezes carrying the scent of the sea, and the quiet hum of island life.
Ceremonies here often take place with the Aegean as a backdrop, and it’s the kind of view that makes you forget anyone else is watching. Beyond the big day itself, there’s a slower rhythm to life in Santorini. Morning walks along the cliffside, lazy afternoons at hidden beaches, and evenings filled with the kind of food that makes guests linger at the table for hours.
It’s ideal for couples who want beauty that doesn’t need dressing up. Even the simplest décor feels elevated when nature’s doing most of the work.

The music you choose for your wedding should echo that same spirit – fluid, soulful, and able to flow seamlessly with the day’s unique rhythm. It should feel as though it belongs to the moment, shifting gently as the celebration unfolds, creating memories that feel both spontaneous and timeless.
Live music captures this better than anything else. Pre-recorded playlists may keep a party going, but they can never adapt with the same sensitivity as a live performance. With every strum of a guitar, the rise of a melody, or a playful change of tempo, a live band has the power to shape the mood of the room in real time. For the boho bride, it is this sense of presence that transforms music from background noise into the heartbeat of the day.

Music That Reflects Your Style
Every bohemian wedding is different, and that is what makes them so special. Some lean towards earthy simplicity, while others embrace a more eclectic mix of colours, textures, and traditions. What unites them is a love for authenticity and individuality – and that should be reflected in the music too.
This is where The Function Band comes in. Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all approach, they work closely with couples to create a sound that feels deeply personal. Perhaps you imagine a gentle acoustic duo tucked beneath a canopy of trees as your guests arrive, their music weaving softly into the sound of nature around you. Or maybe you dream of a soulful singer bringing warmth and emotion to your ceremony, before the full band bursts into life as the evening begins.
Whatever your vision, the right musicians will tune into it and make it part of the day’s fabric, ensuring the soundtrack feels as though it was written especially for you.

When a wedding runs smoothly, there’s often an unseen framework guiding it. It’s in the way a couple can leave their ceremony to find the next car waiting just outside. It’s the champagne already chilled in the reception space. It’s the fact that speeches never overrun so much that dinner loses its warmth.

The Invisible Structure Behind the Day
This invisible structure allows for spontaneity. Guests can linger over cocktails without feeling rushed to take their seats. The couple can decide to extend a moment on the dance floor without worrying that the cake cutting will be delayed. The beauty lies in the fact that timing works in harmony with the atmosphere, rather than competing with it.
When such moments occur naturally, the day feels effortless. But it is no accident. Every pause, every transition, has been thought through carefully in advance.

Money might not be romantic, but it plays a huge role in any long-term relationship. Before couples say “I do,” it’s smart to get on the same page financially. Avoiding the topic may lead to confusion, mismatched expectations, or worse, unnecessary stress down the line.
Discussing money early doesn’t need to feel awkward. It’s about making sure both partners feel informed, aligned, and confident in the path ahead. These financial questions help couples build a shared foundation based on clarity and trust. Whether planning a wedding or preparing for a shared life, answering these seven questions can ease the transition and improve long-term stability.
7 Financial Questions Every Couple Should Answer Before ‘I Do’

1. What Debts Are You Bringing Into the Marriage?
Before joining financial lives, each partner should disclose their existing obligations. This includes student loans, credit card balances, personal loans, or auto financing. Some debts may carry high-interest rates, while others may be nearly paid off. Being transparent about debt helps set realistic expectations and allows couples to plan smarter.
Beyond the balances themselves, it’s helpful to look at how those debts compare to income. Understanding each other’s debt-to-income ratio offers a clearer picture of monthly financial strain and how it could affect future goals.
If one partner carries significant debt, it could influence joint decisions like buying a home or applying for additional credit. Rather than focusing on the amount owed, focus on how it’s being managed. Responsible repayment habits matter more than perfection.
2. How Will You Handle Everyday Spending?
Daily spending can quietly cause friction if there’s no shared understanding. From groceries to entertainment, each partner may have different habits. Discussing shared expenses before marriage helps reduce misunderstandings. Will there be a joint account for household bills? Will each person contribute a set amount or percentage?
Some couples find success with a three-part system: one joint account and two individual ones. This method allows for autonomy while still supporting the household. Clear guidelines around spending limits and shared responsibilities help ensure fairness without micromanagement.
