April 25, 2013 By Laura Leave a Comment

Have you ever watched a movie or read a book about a love story that left you wondering how your life would look on the big screen (with the special moments in slow motion of course!) or how the chapters would read in your book of love?

Well the groom in this wedding film didn’t just write a speech for his wedding – he wrote a book documenting his and his wife’s love story!

The story of Jenefer and Matt is truly beautiful… not only does Matt share a teaser from the book with their wedding guests, but he also makes a special announcement!

So they’ve got the book, and thanks to Reel Weddings they also have a pretty amazing chapter of their lives now captured on film. I’m sure you’ll agree, it’s heartfelt and truly magical…

Unique Escort Card & Seating Chart Ideas

April 15, 2013 By Laura 1 Comment

Want to infuse some personality into your wedding? Designing your seating plan can be one of the more creative aspects of your wedding, giving you the freedom to express you and your partner, your tastes, and if you have a wedding theme you can incorporate that into your seating plan design too.

One of the most common ways to present a seating plan is using an easel display with guest’s names on a mirror or board. This can look quite elegant, though it’s not the most creative, pretty or fun idea for a seating chart! So here are some fun ideas which I hope will ignite the creative spark in you!

An Intimate Garden Wedding by Vibe Photography

April 3, 2013 By Laura Leave a Comment

We all enjoy a good love story, and the story of high school sweethearts Amanda and Brett, is no exception. The couple began dating in year 11, and judging by the beautiful garden wedding captured by the talented Justin and Carla of Vibe Photography – this exchange of vows was destined to take place. These lovebirds were captured with some stunning backdrops…

We asked Bride Amanda, to fill us in on all the details. The proposal, dress, décor and song choice for their big day…

Brett and I met in year 10 and have been together since year 11. One night Brett took me out in the city, and proposed just before we went for dinner and drinks.

My dress is by the designer Jenny Packham. I got it sent over from a London boutique. After spending months looking in bridal stores I started looking online, found the Jenny Packham website, and a few minutes later I had bought my dress! It was the most amazing internet purchase I have ever made. Maybe crazy as well, considering I hadn’t tried it on! But it fit perfect and didn’t even need to be altered. I love it!

We had our wedding in a garden, underneath a beautiful big tree with love hearts hanging from it, and incorporated butterflies into the décor. My dress’ train was in the shape of butterfly wings and its name is “Papillion” so I knew it was meant to be.

I walked down the aisle to ‘I Won’t Let You Go’ by James Morrison and our reception entrance was to ‘Highway to Hell’ by ACDC. Our first dance was to ‘Making Memories of Us’ by Keith Urban.
