Happy Good Friday everyone! I hope you are all having a great Easter break so far! Are you up to anything fun? Going away maybe? Time with the family? Or just eating your body weight in chocolate?? Whatever you decide, I hope you have a great Easter and get to do something fun. I have 3 fun packed days planned with Nik and Dexter, then a couple of days in the office before I head off to Cornwall next week! But before that I have this fabulous New York wedding to share with you. Brooke and Scott were married on 10th September 2022 in Schoharie. They wanted a chilled outdoor wedding, not too formal, just filled with love, good friends, family and a good old party! Big thanks to Kelsey & Nate for capturing the day for us and to The Maples Estate for submitting the wedding.

Alexandrites the extraordinary June birthstone is the chameleon of gemstone
Often described by gem aficionados as “emerald by day, ruby by night”, alexandrite is the very rare colour-change variety of the mineral chrysoberyl. Originally discovered in Russia’s Ural Mountains in the 1830s, it’s now found in Sri Lanka, East Africa and Brazil, but fine material is exceptionally rare and valuable.
The Uniqueness and Rarity of Alexandrites
Alexandrites change their colour depending on the light they are exposed to, a bluish green in daylight and plum red under candlelight. Thanks to this interesting property, alexandrites are known to be emerald by day and ruby by night. It is almost like you’re flaunting a whole different gemstone during the day and a completely different one by the night.
The chameleon-like qualities of alexandrites make them rare, unique, and one of the world’s most desired gemstones. The colour change is often known as the ‘alexandrite effect’. A perfect, unadulterated natural alexandrite will show excellent transformation properties – and this is very hard to find!
Importance of the June Birthstone
Alexandrite is the rarest, most valuable birthstone of June. June is when the weather is warm and summer is in full swing. It’s the perfect birthday month! The stark color-changing properties of this gemstone make it one of nature’s interesting marvels. If you are born in June, have a loved one born in June or have kids born in June, Alexandrite is the ideal memento to have.
Apart from the June birthstone, alexandrites are also meant to be an anniversary gift for those who complete 55 years of marriage. This rare, brilliant gemstone is the best gift you can give on such special occasions. It is a symbol of your love and affection for your special ones.
Alexandrites are believed to bring love, luck, and good fortune to anyone who flaunts their jewelry. Closely associated with the crown chakra, this gemstone promotes intuition, creativity, imagination, and immense love for the universe. The magical stone fills the lives of the wearers with joy, hope, and most importantly, a purpose. The stone is also known to bring harmony between the world of opposites – the physical and spiritual worlds.

What happens when you and your guests all live in different parts of the world? You find somewhere in the middle and get married there! Today’s wedding takes place in Marrakech for that reason. Bree and Billy decided on their Moroccan Wedding as it was an ‘equal inconvenience opportunity’ And a great excuse to get all their most loved friends and family together in one place. Having featured Moroccan weddings on the blog before they always come with such style and grace and such an amazing backdrop! Maria Rão Photography. has captured this stunning day in style, with the beautiful flowers, the gorgeous architecture, the colours, the sunshine! All exquisite!
Glamourous, magical and heart-warming- did that phenomenal and joyous weekend actually happen?! Our wedding was a perfect representation of us with all the beautiful details and glorious once-in-a-lifetime settings we wanted people to remember.
Bree and Billy were married on 16 September 2022 with the Wedding and Reception at La Mamounia in Marrakesh, Morocco. ‘Coming from different continents, and both of us having friends and family across Europe, Asia, Australia and the USA, we wanted to hold our wedding somewhere that everyone would need to fly to. In other words, equal inconvenience opportunity?! We loved the exceptional cultural, travel and adventure opportunities of Marrakech and Morocco, and were excited to give people a reason to come and explore this spectacular part of the world! We chose La Mamounia hotel- chic, fabled, romantic and luxurious. It could provide everything we needed, and all the guests were able to stay onsite. We had 130 guests, we started talking to wedding planners around April 2021, so almost 18 months planning from start to end’

Yesterday I brought you a stunning backyard English wedding and today I am bringing you another one! Oh how I spoil you! Today it is the turn of Saz and Tom who held their wedding ceremony and reception in the field behind Saz’s family home. It held a special place in her heart as she spent much of her childhood playing in the field with her family! The day was full of summer magic, colour, love and a big festival vibe. Totally Boho and totally relaxed, like any festival wedding would be. They filled their day with lots of DIY, handmade projects, which gave the day an even more personal feel, lots of fun games and the most amazing big red bus bar! Which really took the festival theme up a notch. What a wonderful day had by all! Big thanks to Moon Gazey Hare for the fab photos.
A relaxed and magical summers day full of colour, smiles and love. A big festival of fun!
Saz and Tom were married on 23rd July 2022 at Saz’s family’s back yard in Steeple Ashton, Wiltshire. ‘This is where Saz grew up. Saz’s family home backs on to the field we had the ceremony and party in, so naturally, Saz and her family are very connected to the space and it holds a tonne of special memories. We always wanted for the wedding to be personal and intimate, inviting our closest pals to meet our most favourite people in a space that felt fuss free and natural. Saz grew up chasing her siblings around the field and even helped her Dad plant the gorgeous orchard. Guests arrived and drank in the orchard and by the Beer Bus, then moved to the ‘Big tree’ where the ceremony was. We had blankets (crocheted by family) covering hay bales and got married underneath a big disco ball hanging from the tree. Our best mate from Australia was our celebrant and our great pals from ‘Holiday’ sang two songs at the ceremony. We had 120ish guests and it took a nice slow 2 years to plan.’
