Happy Bank Holiday everyone, well those of you in the UK! I hope you are having a good day what ever you are up to. So May bank holiday normally signifies that spring is here, so bring on the sunshine, late evenings, gorgeous spring flowers and hopefully lots and lots of amazing weddings! Today I am back with my colours series of Boho Pins. Last time I brought you Pink Weddings, so today I thought I would look at the colour Blue. When I think of blue weddings, I think of elegance and sophistication, dark blues, navy’s, celestial vibes along with royal influence. With lighter blues I think of fresh designs, spring flowers, crisp lines and soft hues. Destination weddings work well with a blue colour scheme, think blue seas, Greek inspiration, and Chinese designs. Blue is such a versatile colour, it is classic, timeless and perfect for so many styles of wedding. I hope you like my selection.

Happy Friday everyone and if you are in the UK happy Bank Holiday Weekend! I imagine there will be lots of weddings going on this weekend, making the most of the extra day off, I hope it is a magical day for everyone! I am off to the theatre tomorrow with Dexter and then to the cinema with a friend on Sunday, Monday we are test driving cars, so a busy but fun few days ahead. Today’s wedding is super pretty and full of the most amazing flowers, along with some fun disco themed decoration. With the theme set as ‘Groovy Garden Party’ Jenny and Cooper added a huge dose of fun to their pretty pastel wedding, with disco balls and gold vinyl. The results are this super cute but super fun wedding full of character, all captured perfectly by Love Tree Studios.
Jenny and Cooper were married on 7th June 2025 at Bluebell Farm – Fayette, Missouri. ‘We wanted a place that would be able to accommodate a large number for an outdoor ceremony and indoor reception. Then we fell in love with the barn’s rustic yet modern aesthetic, the awesome bar, the lovely bridal cottage and the beautiful landscape of the farm fit our vision perfectly. We had 125 guests and it took a year and a half to plan.’

This destination wedding is super chill and totally perfect, the tropical flowers with the pops of colour really stand out against the beach and the greenery and add a gorgeous fun element to the day. The soft evening lighting is so pretty, the fairy lights and the candles look amazing, what a perfectly gorgeous wedding. Big thanks to planner Mil Besos Costa Rica and to the photographer Adri Mendez Photography

Over the past few years, weddings have evolved beyond a single day into full, multi-day celebrations. It’s a beautiful shift that allows more time to connect, but it also introduces extra moving parts. With each added event comes another round of decisions, and the guest count is where things can get complicated.
When you’re juggling different budgets, venues, and expectations across several days, it’s normal to be torn about who makes the list. That pressure to include everyone and still stay within your means can creep in fast. Here’s what a handful of industry pros have to say about navigating guest count guilt.
Though it’s not the most fun task, setting ground rules early can make everything that follows clearer. Whether it’s agreeing to only invite people you’ve both met or limiting plus-ones, having shared guidelines gives you something to come back to when decisions get tricky.
Irene Katzias, Wedding Planner at Irene + Co Events, suggests, “Establish general rules that each guest must meet, such as only inviting those who are connected to both individuals getting married. For example, invite the immediate family and close friends first, and then, based on the RSVPs received, invite additional guests as space allows. Understanding the boundaries you have as a couple will help you if you establish them in advance.”
Taking a structured approach like this can make those tougher decisions less personal and more clear-cut.
Amos Gott, Owner and Chief Event Architect at AmosEvents, adds, “Some couples also set a time-based rule, such as if they haven’t seen them in a year, they’re not close enough to attend one of the most intimate days of your lives. It’s not harsh, just honest, and that honesty keeps your guest list manageable.”
These rules are there to support you, not box you in. When questions inevitably come up (like whether to invite a distant cousin or college friend you haven’t seen in years), you’ll have a framework that helps you decide with confidence instead of guilt.

A hen do doesn’t have to revolve around costumes or late nights that roll into the next morning. For some groups, it leans more towards well-chosen locations, good food and drink, and time spent somewhere that actually feels worth travelling to. That could be a vineyard just outside Reims, a spa town in the Swiss Alps, or a few days in Milan moving between boutiques and rooftop terraces.
The setting changes, but the approach stays fairly consistent: keep it simple, choose well, and let the destination do most of the work. Below are a few options that suit an elegant, low-key but still memorable hen do.
Champagne is an easy choice when the focus is on quality rather than variety. Most groups base themselves in Reims or Épernay, where you’re close to the major houses as well as smaller producers. In Reims, the streets around Place Drouet-d’Erlon stay lively, but a short walk takes you to quieter areas near the Cathedral of Notre-Dame. Épernay feels smaller, with Avenue de Champagne lined with historic cellars that run deep underground.
A typical hen do here often centres around tastings, but it helps to space them out. A walk through the vineyards near Hautvillers adds context to what’s in the glass later on. The village itself is where Dom Pérignon is buried, and it’s common to see small groups pausing at the abbey before heading back towards town.
The best way to enjoy champagne wine tours is to choose producers who can clearly explain the process, from grape selection through to ageing in chalk cellars. Tours often include time below ground, where temperatures remain constant, and bottles are stored for years. That insight becomes particularly useful once you begin comparing styles across different houses.
