This is probably the most "raw" post I've written since starting Garnet Weddings Ltd. Read on to learn more about why I started my own business.

Social media makes business life look so glamorous, polished and perfect, but it ain't all that in real life!

Weddings on social media were always white and formal, which gave me the "yuck" feeling. I started Garnet Weddings Ltd to help alternative couples plan their weddings to represent themself and have the day THEIR way.

I have come to realise that that isn't the only reason I started my business. When we had kids I had an identity crisis. Suddenly wearing whatever fit me like a huge pink shirt I hated, but it was comfy so it had to do. Navigating new life as a mum while trying to have time for myself let alone get back to working life, which btw is so difficult when the recruiters hear you have kids... ANYWAY!

Garnet Weddings Ltd, my beautiful alternative styled business, kept my identity alive. I poured my little metalhead ALTERNATIVE heart into my business. I poured my love for Gothic and Emo, the Nerdy and all in between. I don't know what I would be without it. Through my business I have met some absolutely incredible human beings who I adore as supplier friends but as just regular people doing their best in life too. I've had the priviledge to plan wonderful weddings and to pour my creativity to styled photoshoots to bring you timeless, alternative wedding inspiration.

What you see here at Garnet Weddings Ltd is ME! Raw, unfiltered, untamed, perfectly imperfect in a world that seems to want to stay "perfect" all the time. You get authenticity and genuine care for couples and suppliers as people with real feelings and dreams. Not just numbers.

You may not find a perfect Instagram grid or a post every single day. That's not me. I'm busy planning amazing weddings while looking after a young family and keeping things REAL.

If you want authenticity, alternative style and someone who really listens to your ideas then you're well and truly in the right place!

I lived in Dorset for a while and as such had the priviledge to meet wonderful local wedding suppliers. I plan weddings in Dorset without any travel charge added.

🖤 A Unique Wedding for All 🖤

Here at Garnet Weddings Ltd I believe your wedding should tell YOUR story—whether that’s through gothic romance, Viking feasts, your favourite emo/metal music, or something else.

Comment your dream wedding theme below. I love to hear wedding ideas! (And best of all, I can help make that happen!)

A Day in the life of a wedding planner
For unconventional couples:

Forget about putting up a front to match with social media when your love is unique—my world is full of black and colourful dresses, skull centrepieces, and entertainment beyond a Connect 4 match. 💀🤘

From 8am I start coffee-fuelled mornings making sure our little boys are entertained, fed and feeling loved and safe.
Around noon whilst the littles sleep I have my calls with suppliers and couples.
Evenings are where the real magic of planning happens. Sharing ideas, summarising wedding details and checking on progress. I don't work a 9-5 day so I am open for messages/calls in the evenings too!

Today? I have dedicated the day for calls to my fellow wedding suppliers working with me on the June and July weddings this year. Gathering important information like set up timelines for the weddings. 📞

Earlier this week? Shopping, but with eyes open for wedding related items such as LED candles, floral arrangements, lanterns and unique decor that would match the wedding themes I work on - no two days are ever the same here at Garnet Weddings Ltd! 🛍

Do you want your wedding day to reflect your personality and love? Are you looking for someone who appreciates the weird and wonderful? Someone who doesn't use cookiecutters for weddings?
You have come to the right place!

I am still thoroughly impressed with this dress from ; it is a stunning piece of art. The headpiece from complements the darker aesthetic beautifully, enhanced by a subtle red spotlight that provides just the right lighting in a nighttime setting. 🥰

Happy Easter weekend everyone!

In Finland we have an Easter tradition to dress up as witches and go trick or treating... sounds a lot like another holiday...
I am all up for being a witch multiple times!

Are you planning a gothic wedding? Let’s dive into the enchanting world of dark romance! 🖤 Here are some tips to create a unique celebration that reflects your love story:

Choose the Right Venue: Look for historic castles, old churches, or even a woodland setting to enhance the gothic vibe. You could also opt for a blank canvas venue to decorate as you please.

Colour Palette: Opt for deep reds, blacks, and purples. These colours set a mysterious and romantic tone.

Invitations: Design invitations with intricate lace and dark florals to give guests a taste of the theme.

Outfits: Brides can wear stunning black or dark red gowns, while grooms can wear tailored suits with dark accents. You could also go all black!

Decor: Use candles, vintage candelabras, and dark floral arrangements to create a moody atmosphere. Don’t forget the skulls and ravens for a touch of gothic charm! 🕯️Opt for LED candles instead of real ones if your venue doesn't allow naked flames.

Food & Drink: Serve unique dishes and themed cocktails. Think black velvet cake and red wine for a dramatic effect. Did you know you can have chocolate in the shape of skulls!?

Music: Curate a playlist with haunting melodies or a live band that fits the theme. 🎶

Remember, the key to a memorable gothic wedding is personalisation! What unique touches would you add? Share your ideas in the comments! 💬

🦇✨️ MIXED THEMES ✨️🦇

This is a lovely photo with depth, pops of colour and attitude!
Part of a styled shoot for YOUR inspo. With a bit of darkness, bit of boho and a bit of rock n roll! Your wedding doesn't have to have just one main theme. Mix and match it to your taste!

🦇 For darker elements we added black dresses, dark decor, chocolate skulls and a decorative rat running around the cake. Our stationery was also twisted to fit the theme.
✨️ For boho touches we had a macrame backdrop, macrame placemats and bouquet holders, a boho vibe to decorations tied withing the darker elements.
🤘 For rock n roll we had some bad a** leather jackets 🤩
❤️ and to top it off Ruby the beautiful red campervan
