Esther and Rob’s Relaxed Back Garden Tipi Wedding in Staffordshire by Lucy Alexandra Photography

There are so many sorts of weddings to love in my job, but back yard/back garden weddings are up there as one of my favourites. I just love how chilled back garden weddings can be, how you can really make the wedding your own and how people always seem more relaxed when they are getting married on their own property. Today’s wedding of Esther and Rob is just that, luckily they were blessed with a large amount of land which enabled them to carry out their dream back garden wedding. The day was filled with personal touches and a burnt orange colour scheme. Such a fun, laid back day, full of smiles and so much love. Big thanks to Lucy Alexandra Photography for the lovely photos.

Relaxed colourful day, celebrating our love with our best friends.

Esther and Rob were married on 18th September 2022 in their back garden in Rugeley, Staffordshire. ‘We love nature and we’re lucky to have a lot of land where we live, we wanted to celebrate our own way, no adhering to a venue’s timings, and have a super relaxed fun party. We had 70 guests and it took just under a year to plan.’

Gina and Josh’s Beautiful Tropical Beach Wedding in Costa Rica by Raw Shoots Photography

After a few days away in Cornwall, I am back with a week full of amazing weddings and styled shoots. Gina and Josh were married on 22nd February 2022 at Las Catalinas in Costa Rica. They held a legal ceremony the year before but it was a very small affair, so they wanted a bigger celebration where they could celebrate with friends and family in a gorgeous beach side location. Their day was chilled, laid back and filled with the most stunning decoration. With a mix of natural tones, mixed with earthy terracotta the ceremony area, the flowers and the reception tables looks absolutely stunning. This wedding makes me dream of summer, of sunshine and of holidays. Big thanks to the Event Planner, Mil Besos Costa Rica for the gorgeous submission and to Raw Shoots Photography for capturing it so perfectly.

Ask The Experts: 8 Ways to Include Your Kids in Your Wedding

The argument of having children at your wedding will roll on and on for ever more. Some people believe a wedding wouldn’t be a wedding withought kids running around causing a ruckus! While other people believe kids should be left at home, so the adults can celebrate and really let their hair down. However, relationships have moved on, many people have already had children by the time they get married, so leaving your own children at home isn’t really an option. Today we are looking at ways you can involve your own children in your wedding planning, making sure they feel part of the big day as much as you do. Use this simple guide to include your kids in your wedding, regardless of age.

8 Ways to Include Your Kids in Your Wedding

1. Let Them Pick Their Clothes

You and your partner will carefully pick the clothes you’ll wear down the aisle, but what about your kids? You could include them in their wardrobe options by asking for their opinions.

Let them browse some ideas you like so they pick what they’ll wear. They’ll get excited about getting dressed up, so you won’t have to wrestle them into their fancy clothes before the ceremony.

2. Ask for Menu Suggestions

The catering team handling your reception meal will serve your favorite foods after you say your vows. You might look forward to the prosciutto bites or lamb meatballs, but your kids may not enjoy foods they don’t recognize.

Let them choose a few options for their personalized kid’s menu. Everyone will get to eat what they love most and you’ll gain options for young guests with food allergies. Research shows that 4% of kids have food allergies compared to 1% of adults. Ask for allergens on your RSVP cards and use the kid’s menu to add allergen-free items young ones will adore, like gluten-free mac and cheese or peanut-free trail mix.
