Today I am delighted to showcase an innovative ring and accessory company on the blog to talk about their unique collection of wooden wedding rings and accessories. Botanica Collective are based in Northumberland and they bring with them a wonderful ethos of sustainability to their products.
‘At Botanica Collective, we believe in the beauty of discovery, the artistry of craftsmanship, and to educate our followers on the responsibility we hold toward the world around us. We strive to provide an exceptional experience, from our products to our aftercare service’
‘Each of our products is bespoke, crafted with care, and designed to be one-of-a-kind. We collaborate with skilled artisans to ensure that every detail reflects the dedication and artistry that make our pieces stand apart.’
Botanica is perfect for the groom looking for something different and a move away form the traditional wedding ring. They offer a huge selection of rings to satisfy all tastes and styles, along with a bespoke ring making service.
At Botanica Collective, we believe wedding jewellery should feel as personal and meaningful as the story it represents. Rooted in craftsmanship and sustainability, our collections are designed for those who want something a little different, with pieces that reflect individuality, connection, and the natural world.
Moving away from traditional metals and predictable designs, Botanica Collective focuses on alternative materials, bringing together wood, stone, and organic textures in a way that feels both modern and timeless. Known for its durability and strength, tungsten forms the perfect foundation for rings, while the materials set within each band tell a deeper story. For those looking to create something even more meaningful, we also offer a custom ring service. Whether it’s wood from a special place, a sentimental material, or something entirely unexpected, we can incorporate it into a bespoke design, turning your story into something you can wear every day.

I have been featuring western weddings here on the blog for years now, as I feature many weddings from he USA. However I have seen western weddings becoming more of a trend, weather it be styled shoots, or the weddings themselves. Many a wedding lends itself to this style, depending on the location and also the venue. Today’s wedding is one of those. Taylor and Billy were married in June of last year at La Joya Dulce a luxury ranch venue in Colorado. They filled their day with rustic touches, the most beautiful wild flowers and a nod towards their ‘Western Chic’ theme. The whole day is full of love, western style and a whole lot of fun, all captured perfectly by Mastrosimo Photography.
Taylor and Billy were married on 28th June 2025 at La Joya Dulce in Colorado. ‘We spend every Fourth of July in Steamboat, and my parents live there full-time, so it’s always been a really special place for us. We wanted to get married somewhere that felt personal and meaningful, but also offered a fun destination where our guests could enjoy a full experience. We had 80 guests. We took two years to plan our wedding. It was important to us to choose the perfect weekend where we could enjoy the beautiful spring weather while everything was green and vibrant. We also wanted to give ourselves plenty of time to save and thoughtfully select our vendors without feeling rushed.’

Your wedding day is one of life’s most meaningful milestones, and choosing the perfect wedding dress is often at the heart of the celebration. With countless styles, silhouettes, and design details to consider, the search can feel overwhelming. But with a clear sense of your personal style, an understanding of current trends, and a thoughtful approach to budget and fit, dress shopping transforms from a daunting task into an exciting, memorable experience.
Before visiting any bridal boutique, reflect on your everyday fashion choices. Brides who favour clean, minimalist lines or simple wedding dresses often gravitate toward sleek, contemporary gowns, while those who love romantic, flowing fabrics may lean toward bohemian or vintage-inspired designs. Your lifestyle and wedding venue should also guide your choices: an outdoor garden ceremony requires different considerations than a formal cathedral wedding.
Personal style goes beyond fashion preferences. It is also about comfort with formality, embellishment, and attention. Some brides feel most radiant in understated elegance, while others embrace the chance to wear something dramatic and bold. Think about which approach resonates most with your personality and vision for the day.
Bridal fashion continues to evolve, and 2026 collections highlight a balance of sleek minimalism, bold statements, and timeless romance. Modern brides are exploring non-traditional elements such as coloured wedding gowns, unique fabrics, and unexpected silhouettes.
Corset and bustier gowns, structured bodices, basque waists, brocade fabrics, square necklines, and pearl accents are among the standout features from recent Bridal Fashion Week collections. While these trends can inspire, remember they are suggestions, not rules. The best dress reflects your personality first, while weaving in elements that feel authentic.

Happy Bank Holiday everyone, well those of you in the UK! I hope you are having a good day what ever you are up to. So May bank holiday normally signifies that spring is here, so bring on the sunshine, late evenings, gorgeous spring flowers and hopefully lots and lots of amazing weddings! Today I am back with my colours series of Boho Pins. Last time I brought you Pink Weddings, so today I thought I would look at the colour Blue. When I think of blue weddings, I think of elegance and sophistication, dark blues, navy’s, celestial vibes along with royal influence. With lighter blues I think of fresh designs, spring flowers, crisp lines and soft hues. Destination weddings work well with a blue colour scheme, think blue seas, Greek inspiration, and Chinese designs. Blue is such a versatile colour, it is classic, timeless and perfect for so many styles of wedding. I hope you like my selection.

Happy Friday everyone and if you are in the UK happy Bank Holiday Weekend! I imagine there will be lots of weddings going on this weekend, making the most of the extra day off, I hope it is a magical day for everyone! I am off to the theatre tomorrow with Dexter and then to the cinema with a friend on Sunday, Monday we are test driving cars, so a busy but fun few days ahead. Today’s wedding is super pretty and full of the most amazing flowers, along with some fun disco themed decoration. With the theme set as ‘Groovy Garden Party’ Jenny and Cooper added a huge dose of fun to their pretty pastel wedding, with disco balls and gold vinyl. The results are this super cute but super fun wedding full of character, all captured perfectly by Love Tree Studios.
Jenny and Cooper were married on 7th June 2025 at Bluebell Farm – Fayette, Missouri. ‘We wanted a place that would be able to accommodate a large number for an outdoor ceremony and indoor reception. Then we fell in love with the barn’s rustic yet modern aesthetic, the awesome bar, the lovely bridal cottage and the beautiful landscape of the farm fit our vision perfectly. We had 125 guests and it took a year and a half to plan.’
