Kristen and Tom’s Modern Romantic Wedding

An island escape and a rush to catch the sunset culminated in an emotional proposal – but only after Kristen finished taking in the view and realised what was happening! This lovely couple chose an historic estate to play host to their ceremony, reception and accommodation, planning their modern romantic wedding in a chic palette of green, white and grey.

The guest experience was front and centre, with live entertainment setting the tone and filling the dancefloor late into the night. With doughnuts a regular weekend treat for the pair, it made perfect sense to finish with a fabulous display for dessert!

And the finishing touch? Gifting guests M&Ms as a cheeky nod to their names!

Colourful Farm Wedding Inspiration

This vibrant inspiration delivers a decadent mix of bohemian wedding decor and vintage sixties style! Bright blooms adorn everything from watercolour stationery to an open air chapel draped with Egyptian chandeliers, adding a rich pop of colour to the rustic farm backdrop.

The bride wears luxurious lace, beaded necklines and bow-accented backs, accessorising her looks with statement drop earrings and mod inspired makeup. A stack of cinnamon donuts serves as a tempting wedding cake alternative, and we can just imagine lounging on layered cushions and carpets during cocktail hour before dining at a relaxed outdoor reception!
