Wedding No. 15 ✈ El Salvador

Our El Salvador wedding was on the beach at Sunset in El Cuco which is a tiny village on the border with Honduras on Valentines Day. Lissette and her Mum had made us a wedding arch wrapped in white linens and dressed with bright pink bougainvillea. They had placed chairs on the sand and the light was perfect as we walked towards our small gathering on the beach.

The light was so perfect for pictures and after the ceremony we all just wandered out to the ocean for some snaps while the sun dropped behind the horizon. It was a cute simple ceremony but made all the more special by the personal touches by Lissette and her family and of course it being on the most romantic day of the year!

Today we have the wonderfully relaxed beach side wedding of Chloe and Will in California complete with a trash the dress session at the end of the evening where the bride and groom take a dip in the ocean. Their FAB photographer Jennifer Weems tells us a bit more about their special day…

Chloe and Will were up for anything, including moving their wedding from Phoenix to sunny CA. She dreamed of a beach wedding, and she’d stop at nothing to do it. Much of the wedding details were DIY, her sister made all of the cupcakes. After the ceremony and reception dinner, we returned to the beach for a “trash the dress”!

A Secret Garden Wedding ✈ Wedding Inspiration

By flyawaybride | May 14, 2012 | COLOUR BOARDS, INSPIRATION | No comments

Hello lovelies, hope you all had a great weekend and are ready to start another week. Today’s post was inspired by one of my favourite childhood movies, A Secret Garden. I used to have it on repeat when I was small so I was quite pleased when I got the chance to sit down and watch it again a few weeks ago with my little niece! And this is what it lead to, a very whimsy, romantic and magic like inspiration board, my memories of the movie.

A wonderfully bright and cheerful wedding to keep you going this weekend, with a bold green and pink colour palette to wake you up. Everything about this wedding is so much fun, the bright colours, the playful pinwheels and decor but as well as that, it’s so elegant and charming!

Outdoor Ceremony Backdrops

Our inspiration pick this week is outdoor ceremony backdrops for those of you having a blessing abroad or outside. Here are 5 ideas that we love and that are practical with a bit of planning ahead, well maybe all but one!

Ribbons

Easy to carry or buy abroad but such an eye catching detail. If you can’t manage to put up a structure to tie them to, we love how they look draped across a tree. Easy peasy

Paper Flowers

Loving these gigantic paper flowers. Might be a bit tricky to carry abroad but if you have a few days to relax before your big day, these would a make a really enjoyable DIY project with family and friends. Otherwise, downsize. The paper crane and flower garland can be made before you leave, packed in a small box and assembled when you arrive! Gorgeous.

Bunting

We will never tire of bunting. It’s so pretty and makes decorating so simple, not to mention packing!

Stuctures

OK, maybe not one for a destination wedding but we had to include them. If you have a crafty man / woman in your life, then get them to work! These make such a statement.

Frames

We know that travelling abroad can sometimes mean leaving important family and friends behind which is why this backdrop idea is our favourite. Place pictures of your loved ones into the frames and take them with you. They will be right alongside you as you say I do.

Thanks for stopping by today. Have a great weekend planning / diying / shopping!

April and Philips Wedding in Pulloxhill, UK ✈ A Movie by Deneemotion

By flyawaybride | May 10, 2012 | REAL BRIDES, UK | 1 Comment

How fast is this week flying? Today we have a movie by Deneemotion in the UK. We don’t get to feature movies often enough on FAB so when we see one come in, they are a real treat! April is an American gal who was perfectly happy to let her groom to be, Philip organise their wedding in his hometown of Pulloxholl while she was on assignment for the majority of the year. They chose to hold their ceremony in the 11th century St James Church in the village of Pulloxhill where Philip was born. Philip received an enormous amount of help from his brother who owns a successful marquee and events company and held the reception in one of his amazing marquees on the grounds of their parents 15th century public house. They had a jazz band on arrival, courtesey of the band that have played every Sunday at Philips parents pub for the past 40 years and champagne bought especially from a small house run by Anna Marie and Etienne Lefevre in Verzy where we have been going for many years. One of the highlights of their day was  having their family’s classic car as it proved a really big hit (a petite mini moke) and left their guests talking all evening! Deneemotion were on hand to capture all these details on film and it really is very beautiful! Enjoy!

Richard and Rachel’s Wedding in Ireland ✈ by This Modern Love

This modern love_010

A while back we mentioned that we were going to publish local weddings every now and again for the simple reason that they can provide great inspiration and information on a particular area and today, we have a such a treat. Richard and Rachel are one creative couple and wonderfully resourceful. They made the menus themselves and picked up so many great things in Ikea to dress their venue, like jam jars for their sweet, candles, art easels for their table numbers and lots of twine to tie everything together! Their reception was held in a converted Mill and we just love how they made use of the entire building and it’s three floors. Tim and Claire from This Modern Love are responsible for the ah-mazing photographs of this beautiful day so I’m just going to hand this wedding over to their wonderful work!

A Paris Elopement ✈ by One and Only Paris

one&onlyparis_010

We have an absolute beauty for you today. Weddings come in all shapes and sizes and today’s wedding is a blissfully romantic elopement. Laura and David chose Paris as the perfect location to have their engagement shoot last year.  They fell so in love with la ville des lumières that as soon as they got home and opened their beautiful engagement photographs, they decided that they were going to elope and return to Paris to be married. We have been huge fans of One and Only Paris, a wonderfully dynamic photographic duo, so when we received this email submission from Audrey, we knew that this wedding was going to be something special. Laura spent the morning getting ready in Shangrila Hotel with the help of Marie Emilie from Mon plus beau jour before their beautifully intimate ceremony in Chapelle Expiatoire.
