With the weather taking a turn for summer here in the UK, it is just brilliant to bring you more and more summer weddings here on the blog. A little bit of sunshine, certainly does go a long way, long may it continue! Today it’s the turn of Christina and Austen who were married on 4th June 2022 at Pleasant Hill in Ohio. They wanted a wedding that reflected their love of nature and the outdoors and this they did. They kept the décor simple, letting the beauty of the venue shine through. A charming wedding full of smiles and laughter. Big thanks to Eastlyn & Joshua for the lovely photos.

 Our overall feeling towards the wedding was to let the natural surroundings of the venue property to be the décor. The beautiful forest chapel is what inspired us to keep the added décor simple. The colours were blush, pale pink, and peach with sort of a floral garden theme.

Tips for Choosing the Perfect Men’s Wedding Ring

Choosing your new men’s wedding ring needs a lot of intentionality and deliberation as you will be wearing your wedding ring for the rest of your life. Here are a few tips that can help and guide you through the process of choosing your wedding rings.

1.   Budgeting for your men’s wedding ring

The most important thing to determine even before you go shopping for your wedding ring is the amount you are willing to spend on it.
Wedding rings’ price varies from a few hundred dollars to tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars depending on the style, designs, materials, and extra features like customizations and engravings.
Budgeting prevents you from spending too much money on your wedding ring while ensuring that you get a ring that fits both your style, personality, and finances.

2.   Put your lifestyle into consideration

Another thing to consider when choosing a men’s wedding ring is the lifestyle, job, and hobbies of the groom.
If you are a handyman who loves working with his hands, the perfect ring for you is a ring that is scratch resistant and durable. Also, if you love nature and traveling, a ring that can withstand different changes and the harshness of weather conditions is what’s perfect for you. On the other hand, if you lead an active lifestyle, you should choose a ring that is lightweight and feels comfortable.
The bottom line is that you choose a men’s wedding ring that complements and suits your lifestyle and day-to-day activities.

‘Elegant Boho’ Sumptuous Boho Elegance With a Hint of Hipster Wedding Inspiration

Today I am taking you to a venue not far from me! Cannon Hall Museum Park and Garden in Barnsley is about 30-40 minutes away from me. So when this gorgeous boho lux styled shot landed in my inbox, I just knew I had to share it with you! The shoot is a mixture of two different looks and two different ceremonies. One loose and relaxed outdoor ceremony for a more intimate boho feel, soft drapes, stunning flowers and the most divine gown. While the second is inside, so more traditional with an elegant boho vibe. Both looks are stunning, both show of the venue beautifully and both give us some gorgeous inspiration for a Boho Lux style wedding.

Bridal Style: Mother Of The Bride – Considerations For The Perfect Outfit

As a mother, seeing your daughter walk down the aisle on her wedding day is a momentous occasion. As the mother of the bride, all eyes will be on you as well. Choosing the perfect outfit for this special day can be an exciting yet daunting task. To ensure you look and feel your best, here are ten important considerations to keep in mind when selecting your wedding attire.

Coordinate With The Wedding Theme And Colour Palette:

To create a cohesive and visually appealing aesthetic, coordinating your outfit with the wedding theme and colour palette is essential. Start by consulting with the bride and gaining insights into the overall vision she has for the wedding. This will help you understand the desired atmosphere, whether it’s a romantic garden affair, a modern city wedding, or a bohemian beach celebration. Take note of the colour palette chosen by the couple, including the main colours and any accent hues. This information will guide you in selecting an outfit that complements and harmonises with the overall wedding décor. Consider the primary colours in the wedding scheme and incorporate them into your attire in subtle or prominent ways.

Understand The Dress Code:

Understanding and adhering to the dress code requirements is of utmost importance for wedding events. Each couple may specify whether it requires formal, semi-formal, or casual attire. Before beginning your dress-shopping expedition, familiarise yourself with their requirements and guidelines to select an ensemble that matches both their expectations as well as the overall feel of the event. Consider visiting The Wedding Shop, a boutique renowned for offering an extensive selection of exquisite mother-of-the-bride attire.

Consult With The Bride:

Your daughter’s opinion matters the most when it comes to your outfit choice. Have open and honest conversations with her about her preferences and expectations. While expressing your personal style is important, ensure that your outfit selection aligns with the bride’s vision for the wedding. Take cues from her own attire and discuss any specific details or colours she would like to see in your outfit.
