Real wedding: Holly + Sari

categories Real Weddings

And now for something completely different! (From our wedding yesterday, we mean.) Ben and Laura from Weddings by Two sent us this beautifully shot wedding, including photos from their new Tin Type camera. Aren’t they amazing?

Love how simply gorgeous this celebration was. Nothing fussy or over wrought, just elemental elegance. And the fashion is pretty perfect too. How great is the suited bride’s sock and shoe combo?

Thanks Ben for sending this to us! Your new camera is fantastic! Also, take a peek at the super 8 wedding film of Sari & Holly’s wedding, shot by the uber talented Meghan of Hello Super 8. So dreamy!

And congratulations Sari and Holly! You two looked amazing.

Real wedding: Artemis + Nao

categories DIY Wedding, Flowers + Greenery, Pretty Paper, Real Weddings

Words are failing us this fine Monday morning, Cakelets. Anything we could write wouldn’t do justice to this wedding masterpiece. And Artemis, truly a goddess if you ask us, explains everything on her super sweet blog Tales of a Junkaholic.

We’ll just give you a quick recap and then you can enjoy the photos without our commentary. They did EVERYTHING themselves. Everything. Liberty fabric bunting, homemade UNREAL cake, thrifted and vintage details (like a giant clamshell to chill proseco!), handmade invites, DIY flowers, details everywhere. And the bride’s dress, vintage 1931 for £2.99, totally reworked for her.

Wait. Two more words: Wedding Tent.

We could keep going, but honestly, Artemis explains it better herself.

Okay seriously… just look for yourselves:

Ceremony venue: Appuldurcrombe House, Isle of Wight
Reception venue: Afton Park Apple Orchard

See? (They actually slept in their wedding tent, for the record.)

Photography: Artemis (the lovely bride) and Bib (her bro) Russell

Full recap, lots more gorgeous photos, and all details explained here.

Yay! Another guest tote post. These are so fun, aren’t they? Desiree Spinner hooked us up with this one. She’s an expert on the Cape and we most definitely are not. Thanks so much Desiree!
