Sustainable wedding details we love for World Environment Day 🌿

Botanical confetti from , made from real bougainvillea flower petals, and wildflower seed ball wedding favours from Sussex-based are such beautiful ways to add meaning to your day.

Other lovely ideas include seasonal flowers, hired décor, recycled stationery, locally sourced menus, repurposed florals and avoiding single-use plastics where possible.

Wedding Table Inspo: Country Chic 🌿🍎

A little sneak peek from and
beautiful springtime shoot at Alfriston Gardens.

With a nod to Laura Ashley-style florals and classic English country charm, these tablescapes are all about soft spring blooms, vintage style crockery, golden cutlery and a very chic use of fruit and veg.

Because apparently cabbages and radishes are no longer just for the salad bowl.🥬

Fresh, romantic and full of seasonal detail, this is country chic with a playful twist.

Unboxing Moment - Don’t Forget the Groom!🍻

The bride has her getting ready moments and gift giving with the bridesmaids, so why shouldn’t the groom have his too?

Sam looked absolutely delighted unboxing his YETI box of Corona beers, and an iPad made a pretty impressive bonus.

Cold beers, big smiles and a very happy groom. Exactly the kind of pre-wedding moment we love to see.

Editorial-inspired imagery is the must-have wedding photography trend for modern, fashion-forward couples.

Bold, cinematic and full of fashion magazine energy, it brings a sense of narrative to the frame. Think power poses, moody lighting, direct flash and those perfectly styled “caught in the moment” shots that tell your love story with style.

Wedding dress shopping? Read this first 👰

Tanya from and shares her top tips for finding the one.

Start your search 10 to 12 months before your wedding day, giving plenty of time for ordering, fittings and alterations.

For your appointment, wear n**e underwear and avoid VPL, so you can see how each dress really sits.

And don’t worry about bringing shoes. Their boutique has a platform for you to stand on, allowing the dress to fall beautifully at the front.

Save this for your bridal appointment 🤍
