A DIY, Psychobilly Wedding With 1000 Paper Flowers – Steph & Adam

2014-01-19_0205

That’s right – as well as hand crafting all their place mats out of vintage records, Steph & Adam created approximately 1000 roses out of pieces of music sheets.

“It was music that brought us together and shaped our relationship so we tried to work music into every detail we could. We handmade as much as we could to fit the theme.”

Steph and Adam were married at The Riveria Hotel at Bowleaze Cove in Weymouth with wonderful photography from Linus Moran. Steph beautifully did her own hair and make up and wore a gorgeous Lusan Mandongus dress and Adam wore a sharp Victor Valentine suit.

Adam and I met through mutual friends who were looking to form a Psychobilly band. Adam played double bass and I sang so we both joined. Although the band was together for several months before we started dating we got along well from the start. It was a long walk up a hill back to Adams house and he wasn’t keen to lug his double bass on his back. Luckily I was the only person in the band with a car big enough to fit the bass in- so naturally I offered to take him to and from practice. It was during these car journeys that our mutual love of a fairly obscure genre of music brought us closer together. The band only did a few gigs before splitting, but we both got what we wanted from it!

Beautiful tattooed bride Hannah & her husband Craig were married in Bletchley Registry Office, followed by a blessing ceremony at Craig’s Parents’ country house back garden with fantastic photography from Natalie J Weddings.

“Natalie was the first photographer I met and that was back in September of 2012 and I didn’t see any others, I just knew straight away she would do an amazing job and she did. I think using Natalie was the best thing we did.”

We were engaged for 3 years before we married, once Craig had proposed we didn’t make plans straight away and didn’t ever say it would be a particular date or year, it was in the spring of 2012 looking out across Craig’s parents garden and land that we decided it would be the most perfect venue, it was from then on the wedding plans went into full steam ahead! The “venue” we had was certainly the lighting out of the blue inspiration we needed to kick start the plans, that’s what made the wedding so unique, Craig’s parents have a stunning home and we are so deeply grateful to them for allowing us to hold our Wedding at their house.
