Colourful vintage inspired farm wedding with hay bale seating and crocheted blankets
Now I say ‘colourful’ but it’s really that certain kind of deep hued colours from another era – almost like a cross between the old fashioned colours of a circus crossed with a gypsy caravan. This pretty wedding took place on a farm in Portland, Oregon (a place I’d love to visit) and the bride owns a vintage hire company which explains the very lovely eye for detail. I’m not a huge fan of the over-the-top art style installation ceremony backdrops you see in some weddings, but this use of the mismatched fabric bunting for this outdoor wedding on a …

A down-to-earth rustic wedding at a camp in the woods
It feels like a while since I shared some pictures from weddings around the blog world that I find inspiring. If you’re new to the blog you’ll find out I’m all about down-to-earth weddings, those that looks beautiful but not because they’ve had tons of money thrown at them or are totally over-done in details. There is just something about certain weddings that captures me for their simplicity and what I can only imagine is a trueness to the couple getting married. I loved this rustic American camp wedding, not only because of the beautiful setting – and I’m delighted …

An utterly dreamy, field wedding with camping and natural flowers
I had something completely different planned this afternoon…then I saw this wedding and fell in love. It is worth noting, that this wedding has that wonderful down-to-earth effortless look that so many of us long for, but this couple are lucky enough to live on a stunning piece of American countryside and when you’re marrying the VP of Facebook (!) I’m sure their budget wasn’t quite as tight as some of us. But that being said, this wedding does come across as down-to-earth, it does seem effortless, and it is just utterly inspirational. At least I think so. It has …

Rhiannon and Richard’s wild and natural Welsh wedding with a midnight canoe send-off
I’m in-love with today’s wedding for its laid-back and relaxed attitude – for me, Rhiannon and Richard seem to have really captured what your wedding day should really be about: love, family, friends, good company and delicious food. They got married in September 2011 with a beautiful weekend-long wedding held at Fforest, just outside Cardigan in Wales. Rhiannon and Richard really did their wedding their way – with no photographer, no over-the-top details, just lots of fun and a super relaxed weekend surrounded by their family and friends. Rhiannon is a freelance journalist who writes about all things green, …
