James and Sophie’s ‘Low Waste’ Nature Loving Kent Wedding by Chris Blackledge Photography 

Today I have another fabulous wedding from Chris Blackledge Photography who is becoming quite the regular to the blog. An Eco wedding set in the heart of the Kent countryside at Elmley Nature Reserve, a venue I have featured before on the blog. Sophie and James wanted an outdoor wedding close to nature and to be as waste free and sustainable as possible, so when they found Elmley nature reserve they knew they had found the perfect venue. They filled their day with simple decoration and lots of personal projects, from the hand made stationery to the scrabble place names. Everything has been well thought out and kept as eco friendly as possible. This is a delightful wedding, captured beautifully by Chris.

The wedding day itself was magical, from the moment we each woke up to a perfect summer’s morning, with views of the sweeping landscape, through to when we chilled with guests around the firepit after the party had ended. It’s cliché, but we wouldn’t have changed a thing.

James and Sophie were married on 10th June 2023 at Elmley Nature Reserve in Kent. ‘We knew we wanted an outdoor wedding in nature, and fell in love with the nature reserve as soon as we saw it! There was space on site for lots of our family to stay for the weekend, as well as glamping tents for our guests to stumble home after the party. We had 110 guests and it took 18 months to plan.’

Boho Pins: The Best of Boho – Nude/Neutral Weddings

I have been featuring a lot of colour on the blog recently, so I thought, in the interest of balance, I should bring you some more muted inspiration as we look at nude and neutral weddings in this weeks Boho Pins. With the rise in population of things like pampas grass, dried flowers and the more natural look at weddings, nude and neutral has become ever popular with wedding  decoration, flowers, outfits and cakes. Adding in things like macramé, wood and soft chiffons can really add a beautiful boho theme to your day. So read on as I share with you some of the best nude and neutral weddings I have feature on the blog recently.

We are out for a meal this evening and then tomorrow we will be doing some holiday planning and hopefully get some time to catch up on some films and maybe a bit of shopping. I’m sure some of you must be off to weddings this weekend?? How exciting that wedding season is upon us again. Today I have another fabulous wedding from Chris Blackledge Photography who is becoming quite the regular to the blog, which isn’t bad thing as his work is gorgeous. Charlotte and Jamie held a super cool wedding in one of my favourite wedding venues, Wilton’s Music Hall in London. Their day was cool, stylish and full of fun.

The happiest, coolest day ever. Very us

Charlotte and Jamie were married on 28th May 2023 at Wilton’s Music Hall in London. ‘We knew we wanted somewhere unique and focused on London venues as nowhere else really had any significance for us as a couple (or had the style of venue we wanted). We looked a 3 other options but both of us felt Wilton’s was above and beyond what we’d imagined. And how many people can say they got married at a venue where The Muppets: Most Wanted was filmed? We had 90 day guests, 120 evening guests an it took 18 months to plan’

Factors to Consider

  • When choosing a men’s wedding band, several factors must be considered. One is the metal choices. Popular options include yellow gold, titanium, tungsten, white gold, rose gold, and platinum.
  • Flat inside styles, as well as brushed and dome wedding rings, are available. Consider the style and width to ensure it fits your preference and complements your style. Other considerations are the ring size and hypoallergenic option for guys with sensitive skin.
  • Some men prefer a diamond or gemstone accent on the ring, while others opt for a more sleek and matte finish. Timeless choices such as yellow gold or platinum symbolize commitment and love, while modern metals such as tungsten or titanium offer a contemporary twist.
  • Consider whether the ring surface is made of meteorite, sterling silver, or rhodium-plated. The wedding band should reflect the groom’s preference and style. Take time to explore options before deciding. Whether you choose a titanium or gold wedding band, make sure it is the ideal ring to symbolize your commitment and love.
  • Choosing the right men’s wedding ring depends on personal preferences and style. With so many bands available, you will find a perfect choice that suits your budget and taste. From grooved engraved designs to dome-shaped rings, there is a wedding band that fits all preferences and tastes. Consult a guide to wedding rings for men before selecting a ring for your special day.
