Your wedding, your way… we take inspiration from the best dare to be different details…
At Love Our Wedding we will always cherish and honour tradition. We love a white wedding; we love all those perennial set pieces – everything from the flowers to the lapels to the veil and father-of-the-bride speeches… but we also love a flash of flair! We love couples who stamp their unique je ne sais quoi on to proceedings. If you’re searching for a memorable moment in amongst the traditional, take inspiration from these fabulous dare to be different details…

The Dress (or rather, the non-dress…)
Short, long, short-long… dresses now come in every style and length imaginable, from tea-length to floor-sweeping. And for brides who are yet to be sold on the idea of even wearing a dress, why not consider the latest trend for striking jumpsuits? Capture something of the seventies in a statement trouser outfit, perfect with loose flowing locks.

Use your head…
Veils will always be big-day special (and one of the very few legitimate occasions you can rock this look), but if veils aren’t for you, consider dressing your hair with statement bejewelled headdresses or a delicate stream of small-headed buds intertwined in a fishtail plait. And for all you colour-pop brides out there, we love the thought of a feathered fascinator with polka dots, or this wonderful Union Jack fascinator. See olivierlaudus.com for some beautiful hair vines and flower accessories.

The accessories…
Personalise your big day your way for a truly tailored look. Accessories are the perfect opportunity to express yourself, be it statement jewellery, makeup, or what you carry or put on your feet. If flowers aren’t your thing, why not carry this gorgeous clutch? Let your feet do the talking in a kaleidoscope of colourful style… we love these ruby-red statement heels!

It’s the little details…
Your overall theme and holistic ‘feel’ of the day is your blank canvas to create and reflect a day that puts you both at the heart of proceedings. Don’t get too caught up in a ‘theme’ or the idea that everything you choose has to faithfully mirror ‘English Rose’ or ‘Rustic Charm’… if you love a lantern, a table throw, a particular cake, an idea for the guestbook, just go with it and have it! In a million years who would have thought that a black wedding cake with accents of gold would work as wonderfully as it does here…?!

Time to say I do…
We’ve recently come across many newlywed couples who are choosing to get married either at dawn or dusk for the beautiful lighting effect. Nothing speaks the language of love quite like a sunset or sunrise (all those marvellous blush-pinks and burnt-oranges), plus, there’s every chance this less popular time of day might be cheaper to accommodate. Your wedding breakfast quite literally could be a breakfast…!

Get snap happy…
Wedding photography these days continues to get ever-more creative and magical by the moment, and we love what this happy couple did… finding a quite spot gifted to them by Mother Nature, this beautiful picture captured a stunning mid-summer scene, oh-so relaxed and effortless! Dare to be different and consider how your photography can best capture you on your day.
