Happy Friday everyone and how are you all? have you had a good week? it’s been a busy week here at Boho HQ, but I am looking forward to a chilled weekend ahead. Saturday we have a trip to a planetarium planned which will hopefully be fun and then Sunday we are meeting up with friends, what about you? With wedding season starting up in full force I hope some of you will have weddings to go to, maybe even your own! How exciting! I am finishing off the week with this bright and beautiful destination wedding and it’s a real beauty! Kassi and Matt were married on 27th September 2025 in Montespertoli, Tuscany. They chose an intimate wedding of 18 guests, which meant they could really focus on the personal elements of the day, like the amazing flowers. I just adore the colourways of these beautiful flowers, so bright and bold, absolutely stunning. Big thanks to Viviana and Andrea for the lovely photos.

General Advice
- Take things slow and be intentional, a choice that allowed for a relaxed, joyful energy for both them and their guests.
- Consider having a “No Cellphone” policy during the ceremony. Speaking from experience as both a wedding photographer and videographer, trust me—Aunty Janet is not going to get a better shot of you walking down the aisle than your actual photographer. Let the pros do their job while your guests stay present in the moment.
- Only spend money on things that will add to your day. If you wouldn’t miss it, it’s not worth it.
- Let kids come! And get a nanny, best money spent was having a whole tent of dedicated nannies for ours and other guests’ children. A relaxing environment that kept everyone together & safe.
- There’s no right or wrong way to get married – the most important thing is that you are happy.
- Your big day is the most fun ever – just enjoy. Eat your food! We’ve heard so many other couples say that they didn’t get a chance to eat, but your food is going to be so good so make sure you eat some.

Planning
- If you are planning a destination wedding, choose a location that already holds significance in your relationship. It changes the entire energy of the weekend.
- Start planning early and try to actually enjoy the process – it’s one of the nicest periods you’ll go through together as a couple. When it’s over, you’ll honestly miss the planning, the decision-making, and the small moments in between.
- Invest in a wedding planner, or at least a day-of coordinator! There were apparently several things that went wrong on my wedding day, but I did not even know until after my wedding because of my planner!
- Definitely book a planner who has the ability to cover all aspects of planning, design, styling and flowers we could not have done it without Charlie the process was so much fun and a memorable experience.

Today I am taking you to warm and sunny Michigan for the gorgeous fall wedding of Christian and Taylor who were married on 4th October 2025 at Shady Lane Cellars in Suttons Bay, Northern Michigan. The wedding despite the time of year was all held outside, which was a gamble by the bride and groom but one that paid off tenfold. The result is this cute, rustic meets classic elegance wedding day filled with warmth and gorgeous touches, all captured by Kaitlynn Faith Photo.
It all went by too quickly, but every second felt magical. Our wedding day was everything we dreamed of and so much more

On a Tokyo platform, just before departure, the air feels contained rather than hurried. People stand in quiet lines marked on the floor. Announcements arrive in measured tones and fade again. Above, fluorescent lights hum faintly against the metal beams of the station roof.
At the edge of the track, the Shinkansen waits. Its elongated nose curves forward with a smoothness that almost seems softened, as though shaped by wind rather than machinery. The surface holds reflections — fragments of shoes, the yellow safety line, a slice of pale sky. All ready for your Japan Honeymoon adventure.
Steel Meets Wood: The Glistening Shinkansen Nose at Tokyo Platform and the Traditional Machiya of Gion

A Silver Line Gathering Motion
Up close, the train’s body appears seamless. Doors slide open without sound. Luggage wheels roll across the platform in small arcs. The sense of movement builds slowly, almost imperceptibly.
Many journeys south begin on the Tokyo to Kyoto bullet train, where the capital recedes in layered greys before widening into fields and distant hills. Acceleration does not register dramatically. The city compresses, then dissolves, leaving glass towers replaced by rice paddies and utility poles passing in even rhythm.
Inside, the carriage remains quiet. Seats face forward. Windows frame changing landscapes without pause. Speed becomes a steady condition rather than an event.
Steel carries the journey with a kind of understatement. The surface gleams, but the interior remains restrained.
Narrow Streets of Timber and Shade
In Kyoto’s Gion district, the sensation alters without abruptness. Streets narrow. Eaves extend outward. Wooden machiya stand shoulder to shoulder, their façades composed of vertical lattice that filters light into thin bands.
The grain of the timber shows through darker lacquer. Some sections appear worn where hands have rested. Sliding doors move softly along their tracks. Lanterns hang close to the beams, their glow warmer than the platform lights of Tokyo.
Sound behaves differently here. Footsteps do not echo. A bicycle passes quietly along stone paving. The scale feels contained, almost domestic, even along streets that draw visitors daily.
Standing before a machiya, you notice how shadow gathers beneath tiled roofs. Sunlight does not reflect sharply from wood; it settles into it.

Their wedding was a true celebration of their love for each other, their playful personalities, and their shared passion for good music, good food, and unforgettable moments. It was a wedding that perfectly blended boho charm, moody elegance, and tropical beauty, leaving their guests with memories to last a lifetime.
