Real Weddings
Ok, we’ll hold our hands up... Lily & Ed’s wedding at Tithe Barn isn’t technically within the Midlands. However, it’s packed full of inspiration that we’re certain you’ll love as much as we do!
Living la dolce vita in the heart of Yorkshire, introducing the new Mr & Mrs Smith! And this is one wedding we wished we had been on the guest list for. With the most incredible details from the timeless fashion, to the ‘rustic luxe’ décor, Ellie & Matthew’s special day was captured fabulously by photographer Sophie Ruck.
The West Mill is arguably one of Derbyshire’s most popular industrial wedding venues. With high ceiling, exposed brickwork and ultra cool interior, they set the precedent for city-chic weddings. We’re delighted to share these super cool photo’s from Sam & Anita’s wedding, which included arcade games, disco balls and the most fashionable wedding accessories…
When we saw Phil & Gemma’s wedding photos, we simply knew we had to share them: we’re envious that we didn’t receive an invite! A fun-filled day from start to finish, the huge smiles across their faces speak for themselves. A relaxed, woodland wedding with DIY, antiques… and even an arcade and garden games thrown in for good measure! Sit back and enjoy.
If you’re looking for wedding inspiration oozing with glamour and class, then we can guarantee you’ll love this gallery from Charlie & Theo’s special day. With timeless décor, elegant style and super chic details, this wedding at Stapleford Park has it all.
The team here at Save the Date HQ follow top influencer Coral Pearl on Instagram and find her life super inspiring. So when her and her now husband tied the knot with their two adorable daughters in New York, we swooned over the pictures!
So imagine our excitement when Coral agreed to feature her stylish big day on the pages of our little glossy mag. We are so here for it. And know you will be too.
This wedding is dreamy - everything about it!
From the gorgeous tulle & pearl bridal gloves to the DIY elements and personal touches. With the most stunning of couples, lots of flowing fizz, some rather cool live music and a gorgeous wedding venue as a back drop, this wedding is bound to inspire your very own celebration.
“True love is when both people think their the lucky ones!” and we think we’re the lucky ones being able to share this stunning wedding day with you. Mr & Mrs Jones got married at The Old Vicarage with an intimate wedding on the 15th April 2023.
Sophie & Rich certainly hosted the most glamorous Winter fairy-tale one did see. The stunning gown, the romantic colour palette, the chic finishing touches…wow! This real wedding landed in our inbox courtesy for the talented Claire at Myrtle Fox & Maude. Claire hits the spot when it comes to styling weddings and creating sustainable floral designs. Here’s Claire to tell us more…
The view from the Save the Date HQ window is a sorry sight today; rain, wind and dark skies are here letting us know that Autumn has finally arrived. So having this beauty of a wedding land in our inbox certainly reminded us of the better days. Yes it may now be Autumn but Heather & Sean’s wedding offers beautiful inspiration no matter the season.
