Happy Friday everyone! I hope you have had a good week and are getting through January OK, it’s been a long old month so far and we are only half way through it! However I don’t like to wish the days away, so I am embracing it and making the most of every day as much as I can. I am looking forward to a fairly chilled weekend, it will involve, walks, cake, fondue, my friend Sarah coming to visit and watching the Basketball, what about you? To round off the week, I have this gorgeous destination wedding. Kira and Rob were married on 10th September at Telluride Ski Resort San Sophia Overlook in Colorado. The whole day is all about the great outdoors, this couple love nature and being out in the mountains with their dogs, so they wanted this to be a key factor of their big day. They chose simple decor, a laidback vibe and the most amazing backdrop for their ceremony, Big thanks to Kelly at In Love and Adventure – Elopement Photography for the magnificent photos.

A post‑wedding cruise can be the perfect mix of adventure and relaxation. Unlike a standard beach holiday, a cruise gives you a chance to see multiple destinations without the hassle of constant packing and planning. For newlyweds who prefer to enjoy some sightseeing, quiet moments at sea, and occasional nightlife, something is appealing about being on a ship that feels like a moving hotel. You spend mornings exploring new ports and evenings where everything is taken care of, from meals to entertainment.
Cruises can suit different styles, too. Small ships let you slip into quieter harbours that larger liners can’t reach, while bigger ships have a full range of activities on board. Indeed, cruises make it manageable and surprisingly easy to pace yourself. For couples who’ve just come off wedding planning, it’s a way to let someone else do the logistics while still seeing the world.

Greek Island: Sunsets, Sea Views, and Romantic Getaways
Greece is the obvious place for a honeymoon if you’re chasing that island‑hopping feel, but small ship cruises make it more than just a standard tourist experience. Boats that carry a few dozen passengers can slip into coves and small ports that big liners can’t. You can wake up in Santorini, wander through the whitewashed streets, and then spend the afternoon on Naxos or Paros without ever feeling rushed.
Local tavernas and small markets are easy to explore when you’re on a small ship. You’ll find fresh seafood just off the boat and spots for quiet cocktails overlooking the water. Even if you don’t plan anything, most ports have easy walking routes that take you through squares, churches, and seaside lanes.
Sunsets here aren’t just scenery. There are moments you can enjoy while the ship drifts between islands. There’s a rhythm to the day that mixes activity with downtime. It’s easy to plan some excursions without losing the relaxed pace that a honeymoon usually needs.

Hello you lovely people! Yesterday I treated you to a gorgeous wedding from the UK, and today we are back with another destination wedding, this time from Barcelona. Aimee and Marcus were looking for a laid back, destination venue, that offered lots of different things all under one roof, this they found with the stunning Villa Almanita. A gorgeous venue that let their bridal party stay with them and left them enough space for both the ceremony and reception. The day was woven with accents of blue, along with some pretty gorgeous table flowers, a cheese tower and the most beautiful intimate ceremony. Amy Jordison Photography was there to capture the day for us.
Intimate wedding with immediate family and closest friends. Relaxed and authentic; natural beauty, kept clean and simple.
Aimee and Marcus were married on 11th October 2025 at Villa Almanita, Sitges. ‘We’re both engineers, so we took quite a logical approach to finding a venue. We wanted to draw the wedding celebrations out but couldn’t afford a multiple day wedding in the UK. We looked for a venue abroad that would be easy for our guests to get to (we were half an hour from Barcelona airport). We wanted our grooms / bridal party in one venue, without it being ostentatious, whilst also being near enough to a town with various accommodation options for the rest of the wedding party. Villa Almanita ticked all our boxes on a practical level, was stunning and perfectly matched the vibe we wanted – rustic and unsophisticated. We had 55 guests and it took 2 years to plan.’

Weddings are filled with joy, anticipation, and celebration, but they can also bring moments of reflection. For many couples, especially those who’ve lost a loved one, the wedding day can feel bittersweet. As excited as you are, it’s completely natural to wish certain people were there to share it with you.
Honouring passed family members (and even close friends) at your wedding isn’t about shifting the focus or adding heaviness to the day. It’s about acknowledging the love they’ve given you and carrying a piece of them forward as you begin this next chapter. From subtle nods to more visible tributes, there are ways to pay respect that still feel intentional and true to who you are as a couple.
Here are some heartfelt ideas to honour the people you miss, while keeping your wedding day centred on you, your partner, and the future you’re building together.

Weave them into your music
Music has a way of bringing memories to the surface, often without saying a word. Including a song that reminds you of a loved one can be an incredibly meaningful tribute.
McKenzi Taylor, Founder/Owner of Gather After, suggests, “Play a song from their favorite band and make sure the DJ or band leader knows to place it in the setlist at a time when the dancefloor will be poppin’. It’s not necessary to dedicate it to them; if you want to be subtle with your tribute, just slip it into the playlist.”
Sometimes, the most special moments are the ones only you (and maybe a few close family members) fully understand. When you hear that song, you’ll feel the connection, and that’s what matters most.
Leave an open seat
Leaving an open seat at your ceremony is a simple yet powerful gesture. It can symbolise the presence of someone who can’t physically be there but is still very much part of your story.
“Leaving a dedicated seat with a photo or sentimental object acknowledges their role in the couple’s story,” notes Sara Landon, Owner & Principal Planner at Sara Landon Events. “Couples can place a single stem flower on the chair as they walk down the aisle, invite siblings or children to contribute flowers throughout the processional, or drape a small item — like a scarf, boutonnière, or handwritten note — over the seat. It becomes both a quiet tribute and a grounding reminder of the love that shaped the family.”
If a front-row seat feels too prominent, you can adapt this idea by placing a chair off to the side or using it during a private moment before guests arrive. It’s about acknowledging absence with intention rather than creating a moment that feels uncomfortable or overly formal.

I have the BEST wedding to share with you today, it’s super fun, super stylish and full of rock n roll vibes. So what happens when a tree surgeon and a vet nurse get married? Welcome to Jade and Jay’s wonderful nature loving rock n roll wedding. The whole day is just so fun and cool, from the gothic style outdoor ceremony, to the super stylish bridesmaids dresses, the groomsmen’s beards, the tattoos, the dried flowers, the vinyl table names and of course Jade and Jay who are the coolest bride and groom I have seen in a long time. I just love this wedding, the energy it brings and how it is unapologetically so personal for this couple. Big thanks to Amy Faith for the awesome photos.
It was just perfect – the whole vibe from the start was so relaxed, and genuine – which is all we wanted. It went totally smooth from start to finish, keeping to our “rock n roll wedding in the woods” theme perfectly. Everyone just had a laugh!
Jade and Jay were married on 9th August 2025 at St Lukes Bombed out church, Liverpool with the reception at The Crafty Swine, Liverpool. ‘When Jade first moved to Liverpool, she walked past a wedding set up at the bombed out church, it was breath takingly beautiful! And she instantly thought “I want to get married here”. The whole vibe was just us – gothic, natural and a bit different. Jay is a tree surgeon and Jade is a vet nurse, we wanted a nature vibe intertwined with our rock n roll music taste, which is super important to us! We had 60 guests with 100 at the reception, it took about a year to plan.’
