This vintage inspired wedding in Worcestershire was sent to me by the bride Laura and I just love all her little personal touches – the Cath Kidston table plan, the homemade favours (mini pots of jam for the men and lavender bags for the ladies), and the wonderful table decorations, the name places, bird cage and the vintage crockery with homemade cupcakes (made by the guests). Everyone loves having a good old nose at other people’s wedding shots for inspiration and I love these photos taken by wedding photographer, Richard Barley, of Laura’s special day. Laura who runs a vintage crockery…

I loved getting wedding tips from Real life brides in the run up to the wedding as they have been there done that, had the stresses and strains that sometimes come when organising your wedding, but more importantly for most, have had one of the best days of their lives. So I thought that it might be nice to feature tips and advice from real life brides so that they can share the fun and games and trials and tribulations from their wedding planning and also offer advice on stylish and unique wedding ideas. So who better to do that first…

A relaxed family wedding in Yorkshire, England. I just love covering Real Life Wedding and this is no exception – these amazing photos are taken at Gems and Ali’s rustic and very laid back wedding in the Yorkshire Dales. What a gorgeous couple and what a brilliant day – according to Gemma it was a small, family relaxed wedding with fresh flowers, vintage buses and lots of music and laughter. Gems looked absolutely stunning in a dress and shrug from Morgan Davies, the fantastic gold peep toes from LK Bennett and the garter borrowed from her sister, Nix. Her bouquet…

It’s the English country tea party look, a village fete theme, complete with bunting and garden flowers, relaxed and fun. Hay bales to sit on and the local jazz band playing some tunes, the marquee open and airy and hopefully the sun shining down. To drink, serve your guests Pimms, the perfect thirst quencher for those sunny afternoons, or go for a light summer prosecco. To nibble on mini cupcakes or chocolate dipped strawberries served from delicate cake stands. To finish off the look make sure that you serve it all from vintage crockery such as these lovely plates and…
