I knew I wanted a really colourful wedding so I asked my guests to dress as colourfuly (if thats a word!) as poss. I hate it when people wear black at wedding unless this is part of the theme. Unless gothic glam is your theme then I kinda don't get it, weddings should be bright and colourful! :)
I went for a rainbow wedding theme which sort of also evolved in to a midsummer nights dream! The decorating guys who did the lanterns on the ceiling described it as a midsummer nights dream on acid!
I am very lucky to have some wonderful colleagues who helped me design invites, lent me a tipi, did my henna & helped me put the hall together that I had booked for a reception after the wedding which looked exactly how I had imagined!
The weather to start the day was really misty but set the scene really well and made it look magical! It brightened up later to be a gorgeous autumn day!.
For the dress I knew I didn't want anything too princessy as wanted something I could run about n dance in without feelin to pressured to just sit n look perfect all day.
Luckliy, boho goddesses Free People had just launched a wedding collection full of beautiful yet easy to wear dresses. I love this dress as it has shorts on underneath and has gorgeous indian style beading which went perfectly with my henna!
I also didn't want a traditional veil as feel they can be crazy expensive and didn't feel like they were very me, I drew up some inspiration from The Alexander McQueen Savage Beauty expo I attended in the summer and went for some amazing antlers instead. I found Kelly Eden who makes these incredible antler headbands on instagram and got these sent over from LA. <3
I had a backup floral & gold coin crown as well for the evening as the antlers were to heavy for dancing & wore my Shoava shawl throughout the day & then my Not your baby leather dinosaur jacket for the evening.
Congratulations! It seemed like such a fairy-tale wedding. You looked absolutely stunning and I love your henna design. Wishing you a life full of happiness.
