Candy Coloured Sweetness & Smoke Bombs

When Lexi of Fleming Photography and Rockabetty Studios emailed me with the title “Smoke Bombs Ahoy!” I knew I was in for something amazing! Lexi teamed up with the wonderful Louise of Oh My Honey to create a cute but punked-out bridal shoot with real-life couple Seye and Lucy.

When Louise from Oh My Honey and I both emailed each other the same day asking to collaborate on a styled shoot, I knew the outcome was going to be special! Louise and I met years ago when she first launched her bridal range and I worked with her with my studio company Rockabetty Studios. I am absolutely in love with Oh My Honey dresses and jump at the chance to work with Louise any day of the week! We wanted to vamp up her pretty 50s bridal dresses and that’s where Lucy and Seye from South East London stepped in!

I love alternative, non-traditional couples who are up for a real laugh on their wedding day, so when Seye and Lucy came forward to be our real couple for the shoot, I was so excited! There is nothing easier than photographing real couples in love. You could not only see the love, but the immense fun they both have with each other. Lucy has an incredible amount of work for a number of amazing London tattoo artists and Seye himself has collected pieces from all round the World too. Lucy looked amazing in Louise’s dresses and shows that alternative brides look wicked awesome too!

Smoke bombs was one of the first things I said when we knew we were going to be together a collaboration shoot and lucky for me, everyone was on board! I had never worked with them before, but Seye and Lucy were well up for some unpredictable fun.

A Tea Party At The Water Fall – Rachel & Neil

Today I get to share with you Rachel and Neil’s beautiful Keswick, Lake District wedding from Jaye and Matt of Tux & Tales Photography. Taking place at the Derwentwater youth hostel which all of their friends and family managed to decorate beautifully just the night before!

We tried to avoid doing certain things just for the sake of it, and only included things that we actually really wanted. A lot of people commented on how laidback the day felt, and I think we did pretty well to create a day that reflected us as a couple – we’re not perfect, we are messy, a bit chaotic, we make ridiculous plans, we’re often late, but things always seem to turn out in the end. That’s what it’s all about isn’t it?

Our main aim was to make it a fun and chilled out day for our guests, with less of the usual formality. Not having the restrictions of the legal ceremony (we had a quickie registry office do with just witnesses the day before) meant that we could pretty much do whatever we wanted, so that’s exactly what we did! We started with a tea-party and cake contest so that we could spend some time with our guests before the ceremony, and we were dead set on getting married outside with one of our friends doing the honours – the waterfall in the grounds of the hostel was just a lucky find! We didn’t want any of our guests to feel forced into doing things they don’t enjoy, or to be bored, so we used all of the rooms available in the hostel to create little areas for people to chill out and chat, play games, as well as the usual drinking and dancing. And we threw in a bouncy castle for good measure. Because who doesn’t love a bouncy castle??

Rachel said that she loved making the DIY elements for the wedding to create a larger version of their own living room (Neil call it the  “Rach-Fest”), as Rachel chose the majority of the décor for the day and got stuck in.. and got very close to covering everything in gem stones!

A Frosty Fairytale Styled Shoot

Happy December! I’ve been waiting for the perfect time to share this beautiful shoot styled by the wonderful Alex of The Bijou Bride to showcase the launch of Oh My Honey‘s first bridal collection late 2011.

“Our inspiration came from gothic fairytales, woodland nymphs and The Lion, The Witch & The Wardrobe. We wanted the table to look as though you’d stepped out of the Narnian Continue reading

EXCLUSIVE: It’s Oh My Honey Week!

Good morning! As you may (or not) know that this week is #OHMYHONEYWEEK.

“What’s Oh My Honey Week?” I hear you say – WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL WEEK?!! Oh My Honey is launching their 2013 wedding dress range THIS WEEK and Far From The Wedding Crowd, The Bijou Bride, So You’re Getting Married and Marry Me Ink have been able to show you the first ever looks of the beautiful range!

This week the new bridal wear collection for 2013 will be revealed at an exclusive event in Brighton. The Oh My Honey Bridal collection consists of 9 beautifully handmade wedding gowns full of vintage character. The dresses all capture the classic 1950’s elegance; nipped in waists, graceful tailoring and beautiful fabrics, with an Oh My Honey touch; unique detailing, playful design and exceptional construction. The designs incorporate silks, chiffon, feathers, lace, silver beading and frothy petticoats to create an effortlessly feminine vintage bridal look.

Designer Louise says “After the popularity of last year’s collection, I have taken into account what was most popular for woman and what they look for in a wedding dress. I tried to focus on these points and also brought in my own ideas to make the collection and stand out. I wanted to have a consistent theme trough the designs, but also have variety, there is a mix of sleeved and strapless, fitted and full skirts, mid length and full length, simple and embellished designs.”

Today I get to introduce you to Alice and Kate – two beautiful dresses from Oh My Honey’s 2013 bridal collection. ARE YOU READY?!!
