Dan and Ali’s rustic seasonal and handcrafted November wedding
It is lovely to be able to share such a beautiful seasonal wedding full of handmade details, and one that took place in November. Photographed by Laura Babb, Dan and Ali’s November wedding was held at Folly Farm, a stunning green wedding venue set amongst 250 acres of woodland and nature reserve. On hearing more about this handcrafted wedding I knew it was just the kind of wedding you would love to see. “When we found Folly Farm we knew it was the right spot. We completely lucked out with the weather on the day, it was hard to believe …

Seasonal spring wedding flowers and their meanings for an alternative Valentine’s Day
With Valentine’s Day tomorrow I know I ought to be showering you all with romantic, heart-shaped, red rose inspired ideas. I’m hoping that because you are here, reading this blog, you know that I like to try and go about things a bit differently. I’m not hugely into Valentine’s Day and all the fuss that comes with it, so I was quite delighted when an email from Rachel at Catkin Flowers dropped into my inbox about the romanticism and language of flowers. I shall hand you over to Rachel from Catkin Flowers… Since antiquity, flowers have accompanied us in every …

Fragrant spring wedding flowers with cow parsley and purple lilac
I am loving this combination of greens and deep purples when it comes to wedding flowers at the moment. This bouquet uses Queen Anne’s Lace, which is very similar to cow parsley which we used tonnes of at our wedding and the inclusion of Lilac would made for a very fragrant bouquet or arrangment. Perfect for a late spring wedding when cow parsley and Lilac is in bloom – ask your wedding florist what time of year these are at their best and available locally, or if they grow them. If your heart is really set on a particular flower …

A seasonal autumn bouquet of colourful leaves and berries
It has become something of a challenge of mine to discover bouquets that are beautiful despite having no flowers in them. If you are planning a late autumn, winter or early spring wedding, then flowers are in short supply if you are wanting a seasonal bouquet (something I wholeheartedly recommend). I have found a couple of examples so far – this one with lots of lush green foliage and this orchard inspired bouquet. So I’m pleased to add this bouquet of autumn leaves and berries to the collection, and I love that it is tied with lace. What are your …

What goes into a wild and loose September wedding bouquet?
I thought it would be nice to follow up from Rhiannon and Richard’s wild and natural Welsh wedding (it’s so beautiful – you must have a look if you haven’t seen it already) with more details of the wild looking bouquet Rhiannon carried. The bouquet in question was created by the wonderful Chloe of BareBlooms who is featured in The Natural Wedding Company directory. I got in touch with Chloe to find out exactly what flowers she used to create Rhiannon’s bouquet, and to find out what look she had been asked to create. Chloe told me, “Rhiannon was so …

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, …

An autumn inspired wedding shoot on a Welsh farm with a beautiful gyspy caravan
A wedding on a stunning organic farm complete with a beautifully restored red and yellow gypsy wagon…if only such a place existed. It does, and to showcase this beautiful wedding venue deep in the heart of Wales, a group of local suppliers got together to produce a beautiful autumn inspired wedding shoot. The shoot was held at Welsh Green Weddings and was brought together by Sue Fyfe-Williams of Aunties Vintage China, and Venetia Norrington of Firetop Photography, taking seasonal inspiration from the autumnal hedgerows. Sue told me, “The venue has huge versatility and we wanted to portray the breadth of …
