We are DE-lighted to feature this simple and sublime editorial by @sarahburtonweddings, our hazy, film, fashion-led LOOKBOOK vendor photographer and firm fave.

Her creamy, dreamy work, is essentially just cool, nostalgic button pressing, documentary-esque photography that just happens to be of weddings, quietly capturing romance in all its glory, and effortlessly moving on its way.

We are head over heels for the lace tights, lace scrunchie combo and as well as the light of touch, softest of feels of this scrumptious shoot, it’s definitely giving some of the best relaxed but chic hair-spo we’ve spotted in a while.

What else can we say, the imagery speaks for itself, booking Sarah Burton for your wedding would always be the right choice.

Founder and creative director Louise O’Mahony, asked us to come a long and see how they would turn their flamboyant hand to the world of weddings, so as I (Becky!) sadly personally couldn’t make it couldn’t make it down, we assembled an elite Brighton crew of Photographer Kitty Wheeler Shaw and leading bridal model Chish K [above] to go play dress up and report of their findings!

I have been planning weddings in New York’s beautiful Central Park since my own wedding there in 2011.  Many of my clients getting married in Central Park are visitors to New York, mostly Brits.  Some of my couples bring a group of family and friends with them, and some elope to New York, just the two of them.  For some of our clients, it’s their first time in New York and for others, they have visited before and feel like they know the city and it means something special to them.  Each wedding is unique, just as all of our the couples are, but here are my top five tips that might be helpful to anyone considering getting married in New York:

OOOF! A sumptuous treat for us all on the blog today from the very special Kala Waya Collections.

We first worked with Kala Waya at the London 22 show, when founder Niki took a punt on us and showcased her pieces on the catwalk, expertly styled by Laurel Hunter. Niki came along and was nothing but pure passion and fire for her pieces, the models who were to wear them and the creative space she carved out with the team in putting her looks together as a whole. We’ll be handing the floor over to Niki today to tell you about this inspirational shoot she engineered earlier this year, which we are honoured to have been chosen to show. But just a little bit of background Kala Waya Collections is a range of beautiful hair adornment pieces, designed, with love and skill, intentionally for natural kinks, coils and locs in mind.

Good Grief.. were the words that involuntarily came out of my mouth when I saw this incredible shoot pop up on my feed, a masterpiece in chasing the light, by Osman of Wolf & Co Photography.

The creamy, buttery tone and feel, the swell of the fabrics in the separates by the dreamy Bon Bride , against the harsh and hard elements and scenery of Botany Bay. And the way the light, shot in both 35mm Film (the first 6 shots here) and Digital gives the collection of images an arc and a story.

Was struggling to whittle to 10 for the grid so have put a larger selection here for your viewing pleasure, thank you Osman!

Jewellery is by Grace and Kin

The beautiful model is Sabine who also did her own glorious make up and hair.

What a masterpiece in both light, fashion and bridal photography. Enjoy!

Well, apologies that this blog post comes with a Happy 1st Anniversary message to go with it, as it’s taken us a while! But today we are so happy finally blog Aida and Jason’s glorious triple wedding in Kent!

As she is the magician responsible for Aina’s THREE knockout hair and make up looks for the Nikah Muslim marriage Ceremony, English Wedding Ceremony and separate wedding reception party!

Thanks to the brilliant Brides by Aina M too and of course the fab A Joyful Wedding photography for the imagery. Over to Aida and Jason now:

For me and so many others, this country is seriously hard to navigate at the moment. There are plenty of people articulating this a lot better than I could, but I want to add my voice to the many many voices, with shared generational colonial trauma. To carry and share out some of that emotional labour it takes to keep putting yourself out there, especially when you know it will be received with hate and vitriol, in the name of ‘respect’…. cont…

July is Disability Pride and we are delighted to show this fantastic collaborative piece of creative work engineered by Nastia Nizalova of Kent -based Nnastia Photography, that not only showcases a disabled real life couple but is intentionally formed solely from the input and inclusion of disabled and disability friendly suppliers. This in itself sets it apart as something special and noteworthy, and something so important, even before the camera took its first click! So we had no question about whether we would love to include it when our coalition member Kathryn Palmer Skillings wondered whether we might like to show it. Obviously the fact that the images are an absolute lavender sprig, velvet ribbon, embroidered place cards, macaroon dream is a wonderful bonus!

Roe Vs Wade… I wrote something long - as per! So I’ve been trying to edit it for here for days, but I’ll put it on the blog and keep it short on here!

But essentially ….every day is a good day to make it clear we are a wedding space that does our best to celebrate and actively champion body autonomy and joy over your lifestyle and love styles!

Because every day is a day that body autonomy and autonomy over lifestyles and love styles is under fire.

But today is seems like a VERY good day to do that.

A total treat on the blog today! Our first since our post show break. A really interesting and uplifting interview with our bridal Next 2022 winner, in the fashion category - Ballad Bride!

In this spotlight though we get to learn about this fresh new brand (started in the April of Lockdown 1!) and how founder Laura merges a sense of ritual, feminine energy, fashion, design and magic into this exciting new venture. She strips back and links the design of a wedding look to something that is channeled from it’s wearer - using visualisation and meditations to denounce all the labels and restrictions we as modern people put upon ourself and society puts on us, in order to bring the truly personal and powerful back to the art of dressing. And especially dressing for your wedding day. Grounding her wearers into connecting back to what it is that makes them feel beautiful, full of love, joy and empowered.

Read on to see what path led Laura here, how the show was for her, what it was like to win, what her dream wedding would look like, how to connect with the brand, and whats’ next for Ballad Bride.
