A Sponza Palace, Dubrovnik Croatia Wedding – Tara & Tim

2014-01-13_0003

“We wanted a small wedding so we could spend the time and money with the people that were most important to us, our close friend and family.”

Today I get to share with you the gorgeous destination wedding from Dubrovnik Riviera Weddings of Tara & Tim. Tara wore a beautiful dress from The Couture Company – Designer Wedding Gowns who are based at The Custard Factory in Birmingham.

The wedding took place at Sponza Palace in Dubrovnik Riviera in Croatia. Tara & Tim wanted to get married away from home as they love to travel and Dubrovnik had everything – the perfect venue, a holiday destination for our guests and the old town architecture for a beautiful wedding setting.

We did not want a completely traditional wedding, and wanted to show our personalities. I did not want flowers and found a gorgeous peacock feather bouquet which I loved and can keep forever! We both love the vintage 50s style and we took this into account when choosing our outfits and style for the day.

We made our own CDs for our ceremony music and for our Boat cruise drinks reception. I did my own hair and makeup which meant I could create the perfect Vintage style I love. There were a few personal touches that made the wedding including a peacock brooch found at a craft market in Krakow on my Hen weekend for the belt of my dress and hand written labels attached to Olive oil and Liquor bottles as name place settings. For our reception at home I made lace covered jam jar candle holders and sourced vintage vases to hold peacock feathers. Also a small suitcase and bunting instead of a post box to hold our cards.

A Bride In Red – Adele & Anthony

“I’ve know ever since I was a little girl I wanted to get married in red dress, but unfortunately my taste was not shared by many bridal shops, apart from one.”

Today I get to share with you Adele – a beautiful bride who decided to wear red on her wedding day, with thanks to The Couture Company who created such a gorgeous dress and with fantastic images from Ben Fones Photography.

“We like to think that the whole wedding was relaxed, full of laughter with family and friends, but with our own little twist on tradition. This is just like our lives!”

It was the most important thing to me that my tattoos had to be on display (much to my mum’s dismay) if they could not be incorporated into the design of the dress they must be shown off. I converted my Mom in the end proving body art can be just as beautiful as the dress you wear; you just have to find the perfect one.

I was told about The Couture Company from a friend who was also getting married, I did not hold out much hope as I had been disappointed before. But boy was I so wrong!!! As soon as I walked through the door I knew I’d get my dress from here!! Jo and her team were so lovely and laid back which made me relax and completely trust them to create the dress of my dreams, and she didn’t disappoint, Jo has a fantastic ability to pick the idea out your head and make it a reality. I didn’t want to take my dress off on my wedding day, it was so beautiful, and beauty should not be hidden in a wardrobe, so I have had mine framed and hung on my lounge wall for to see!
