أفكار للزفاف - Relaxed #2

Ben and Emma wanted a wedding that was, above everything else, chilled out and relaxed. The day took place at The Star Inn in North Yorkshire, their guest list was limited and Emma bought and wore the very first dress she tried on. " What made our wedding so unique, was that we were sooo laid back about the whole thing", she explained."There were no 'bridezilla' moment and I only tried one dress on, my dress! Basically our day was about the three of us, we have a daughter, Noa who is 5. We did it our way with no bells or whistles. It was just relaxed, fun and full of love."

If the idea of a big wedding, and all the formalities that go with it, sends you into a tizzy, then today's inspiration shoot is for you. Photographed by J.M.Hunter Photography, it's romantic, relaxed, and so stylish - and it kind of makes us want to plan a party just for two!

Shayla and Brendan wanted to host a destination wedding without travelling too far from home. "Brendan and I both spent time growing up in rural Manitoba and we love a good, laid back country wedding," Shayla explains.

Steph and Tim I’m kind of loving the format of today’s wedding – coffee at a yummy bakery with their loved ones, a stroll to the church for the ceremony, a cocktail reception with plenty of dancing and then dinner at a favourite bar with the bridal party. It really is a wedding day shared [...]The post Steph and Tim’s Relaxed Fitzroy Wedding appeared first on Polka Dot Bride.

Shelley and Gareth tied the knot on Wednesday 28 th May 2014 and envisioned a fresh, fun and relaxed wedding day. Shelley is a florist, so of course the blooms were totally out of this world.

Megan and Tom had a chilled out, backyard BBQ wedding held at a friend's house. "We wanted the whole experience to be a representation of ourselves and our relationship", Megan wrote. "While we wanted everything to look beautiful, we didn't want it to be perfect or overdone. I went shopping in thrift stores for all kinds of mismatched vases that would compliment each other. At the end of the night. guests were allowed to take all of the assortments home with them."

Wedding party photos tend to make me cringe. The poses are awkward and the faces are cheesy. How do you make your photos appear fun and relaxed? Here are some of my favorite examples and why they work. (photo up top) Clump together. It’s natural for people to talk in clumps, so why not take […]

For avid travellers Laura and Mike, an engagement that took place during a trip through Europe was only fitting. "Mike proposed underneath the Eiffel Tower. We spent the rest of our 'engagement honeymoon' traveling through Southern France and Italy," says Laura. The couple has since travelled to South America, Southeast Asia, and Australia together.

Fi and Pat's wedding has this beautiful mix of beachside and country. With their choice of a clifftop for their ceremony and Pat's parent's farm for the reception they got the best of both worlds. The wedding day capped off with a view of Mount Warning - the exact spot where Pat proposed!

Welcome to another wonderful week and we are starting off with a relaxed and beautiful wedding at Chateau de Robernier South of France, captured by Remi Dupac.

I love the idea of entertaining your guests with something they perhaps have never tried. Today's bride and groom opted for laser clay pigeon shooting during their day, which was a unique and fun touch. Michelle and Guy tied the knot on the 13 th June 2015 at Red House Barns in Worcestershire.
