A Seaside Themed Handmade Wedding in the UK by Tracey Ann Photography

Today's real wedding feature from Tracey Ann Photography brings us to Robin Hoods Bay, Whitby in the UK for the handmade wedding of Emma and Lee. Emma's mother was super creative and handmade the wedding cake, the table decorations, the wedding bouquet and even the bunting {I love the look of bunting and this wedding had lots of it}. After saying I Do, the couple and their wedding party took a walk through the village for photographs at the beach before heading to their seaside themed reception. This part of the wedding I just love as it's not something you hear about in the US for weddings {at least I don't hear about it}. When dinner was served the bride and groom were invited to light the fuse of a antique canon which fired a canon ball into the sea to honor their marriage.

Since Emma's mother had such an amazing response to all of the handmade items she created, she has now set up her own business called Moira Jane Wedding Artiste where she designs bespoke wedding decor for other couples. For Emma's bouquet, her and her mother gathered the buttons and brooches from various antique shops in Whitby and other areas for her bouquet. She was also given some by family and found other at various online shops.

Inspiration Board Flashback : Pink and Grey Winter Wedding

Today we head back to one of my favorite inspiration boards for the winter months that I created earlier this year. Today I have a few new ideas that I've come across that are perfect additions to this pink and grey winter wedding. You can see all of my pink and grey wedding inspiration on pinterest. From original post:

This inspiration board features lots of handmade items in one of my favorite color palettes - pink and grey. For this wedding I envisioned warm textures including yarn and even nice cozy leg warmers in coordinating colors for the bridesmaids. And, for dessert... why not have one cake that is the focal point like this one with the bunting and then have other homemade cakes surrounding it? What is your favorite element in the board?
