Anna and Tom were inspired by all the gorgeous bohemian weddings they had seen on Pinterest and Instagram. Anna had a ‘million boards of deco ideas and bouquet styles’ but ultimately, just wanted to have a day that reflected both her and Tom.

Their gorgeous summer wedding ended up being a relaxed party rather than a majorly formal event, and Anna really got stuck into the all the wedding DIY by creating all her own bohemian style wedding decor and wildflower arrangements.

Set in the stunning Villa Immacolatella, a typically antique structure in Trapani, Sicily; and in the famous Saline Ettore in Fersa which dates back to the time of the Phoenicians, who were called the “princes of the sea”. The shoot speaks to the bride-to-be who appreciates old world charm, the natural beauty from southern Italy, and sensual historical settings.

Today we have the lovely Emma Horrex from Grittleton House, a gorgeous historical venue in Wiltshire, telling us all about the recent launch of its new Gin Club for weddings. Grittleton House is a privately owned Victorian manor dating back to the early 1830s, which currently is run as both a venue and a family home, and – for now – remains one of the best-kept secrets in the Cotswolds.

This week’s inspiration takes a much needed punch of colour. There is something so refreshing and uplifting about dashes of confident bright tones, and keeping it simple with a colour like red ensures a classy and chic look. It’s glamour all the way with this one.

UK wedding photographer Nina Wernicke has spent a lot of time in South Africa, and it’s a country and a culture that remains very close to her heart. She’s always found a lot of inspiration for weddings here – from safaris to vineyards, from sandy beaches to the lush countryside.

This week’s wedding inspiration gets a little moodier with the darker blue-grey shades of Pewter and Gold. Pastel shades are oh so pretty, but if you want something less wistful and more poetic, shades of blue-grey could really hit the spot. Add to that, subtle hints of metallic gold, and you have an incredibly stylish palette for any Summer wedding.

Amid the panic and excitement of organising a wedding, there’s a danger that the honeymoon can become an afterthought. Indeed, many couples now take a short “mini-moon” immediately after the ceremony then defer the decision about where to go on their “real” honeymoon.

In keeping with Sicily, Taia and Francesco decided on a very simple and authentic wedding theme that was green and white in colour. Atmospheric lanterns, candles and traditional olive leaves (which are a symbol of Sicily) were included on the tables and throughout all the wedding decorations, this added to the romance of this Italian destination wedding.

Now that the royal wedding buzz is calming, let’s get back to some pretty wedding inspiration. This year’s Spring has left us with a glorious Summer. And this time, the pretty and uplifting tones of a soft yellow are bleeding straight from the summer skies and into our inspo board.

Planning a wedding is a great achievement in itself, especially when your guests come up to you and tell you how much fun they had and what an amazing day your wedding was. Everything will work out fine if you spend some time thinking everything through before you start to get bogged down in all the practical sides of wedding planning.
