Helping Your Guests to Enter into the Spirit of Your Alternative Wedding

It is great that people now feel that they can have the wedding they really want. Gone are the days when everyone’s photos of their special day looked very similar. Today, it is far easier for brides and grooms to choose a unique theme for their wedding. Venues are increasingly prepared to be flexible and are starting to cater better for couples who want to hold an alternative wedding. It is also now far easier to buy vintage wedding dresses and suits that reflect every style you can think of.

Usually, the bride and groom have a very clear vision of what they want their wedding day to be like. They are fans of a particular style, which they fully understand. So, for them, working out what they are going to wear and how the venue will be decorated is easy.

But, for some of their guests things are not so easy. Usually, close friends are also fans of the style the bride and groom like, so they automatically know how to dress to fit in. But, for some relatives getting ideas for wedding outfits that are suitable and will fit in with your theme could be really difficult. Plus, of course, they may not feel comfortable about dressing in a way that is radically different from what they are used to wearing.

That is why most couples take the approach of telling their guests the theme of their wedding and encouraging them to join in but also stating that traditional wedding guest attire is also OK. There are some great examples of how you could convey this fact on your wedding invitations available on this page. Usually, your guests will do their best to please you. They may not go the whole way and hire vintage clothes or an outfit that 100% reflects the theme of your wedding. But, many will change the way they dress a bit to try to fit in with your theme, for example, by wearing a shirt that the reflects the relevant era.  Continue reading

Rock ‘n Race – A Whiskey,Smoke and Tattoo Filled Inspiration Shoot

I absolutely LOVED this shoot when photographer Leon of Flier! sent this over. The words whiskey, tattoos and Dalmatians had my full attention! (Seriously – DALMATIANS!)

The styling of the shoot looks so dramatic against against the white walls of the warehouse, it’s too hard to pick my favourite bits – Though I do love the table dressing with the taxidermy! I had the chance to speak to Leon of Flier! about the idea behind the Rock ‘n Race shoot.

During a brainstorm session it became clear: Let’s create an non-standard wedding shoot, awesome and really out-of-the-box. To present a shoot to show wedding couples that everything and anything is possible. A shoot inspired by the tattoos of the outstanding bride and her groom. Rough but with a classy look… So we did!

I got to work with some of the best professional suppliers in the wedding industry. This was important, because with a theme that is so outspoken, it’s necessary that everything fits perfectly together. We found the perfect location – A great wedding venue with several industrial, rough and ‘rock and roll’ spaces. They also have a kart-track in the house! We created this shoot ‘Rock ’n Race’ with awesome styling inspired by the colors black, white, red and gold and connected them with the words Rock, Tattoo, Whiskey, Cigars, Smoke, Roses, Lace, Kart-Track and Dalmatians!
