Carnival theme wedding pictures

Today’s real wedding couple, Jenna and Tommy, opted for a retro carnival theme. Their inspiration was that of a 1950’s carnival complete with carousel, penny candy and popcorn {pretty cool}!

Jenna and Tommy were married in Providence, RI in Roger Williams Park and their talented photographer was Olivia of Olivia Gird Photography. I’m seriously going bonkers for this wedding and the ink!

Thank you Olivia for sharing your gorgeous wedding pictures. Blessings, Jenna and Tommy!

I adore this whimsical wedding, styled by Amorology Weddings. The whimsical theme for Rebecca and Geritt’s wedding originated from The Sound of Music, “These are a few of my favorite things”…which resulted in an abundance of fun and playful details. To see more of this {raindrops on roses} wedding, scoot over to Amorology Weddings.

This splendid wedding is the work of Amorology Weddings and deserves some love! Amy and Tody’s wedding was held in Millcreek Inn in Salt Lake City, Utah and was inspired by Amy’s love of owls and trees. The result is just lovely. To see more of this wedding head over to Amorology Weddings.

Till death do us part…now this is an awesome wedding theme! Not only did this wedding have an awesome theme, it was also 100% vegan, relatively inexpensive, and included loads of handmade details.

To see more wedding photos and read up on the details, head over to Etsy’s ongoing Handmade Weddings series, where the bride {Jenn of monkeyandsquirrel} shares all the splendid details of her Day of the Dead themed nuptials. Morbid…I think not! Fun and different…definitely!

Today’s real wedding is an English real wedding. The stunning couple, Anita and Martin, are both leading newspaper journalists for the Telegraph and Express. They held their elegant wedding in North Yorkshire, which was photographed by the lovely Ian West and the equally lovely Julia Ford of Modern Photography.

We found the reception venue first – Newburgh Priory in Coxwold, North Yorks – and then the church, Our Lady and St Benedict in Ampleforth. I had a phobia about walking down an aisle in a huge church with everyone staring at me so I couldn’t believe my luck when I found the church – it was so tiny that the aisle was only about 10 feet long.

The dress was vintage lace from Lusan Mandongus.

For the table centres I went for vibrant lime greens, hot pinks and bright purples – serena gerberas, roses and orchids. I also fell in love with these bright pink butterflies from VV Rouleaux which I stuck in the middle. The bright colours didn’t look quite right for the church so I toned the bouquet and the pew-ends down to slightly paler shades.

The wedding had little bits of us to make it personal – Indian-inspired touches in the decor because I’m half-Indian, newspaper front pages for the table names because we’re both reporters.

So my first phobia was walking down the aisle, and my second was the first dance. Can there be anything more cringeworthy? So we hit on the perfect solution. We’d already chosen the entertainment – the completely, utterly awesome Chinese Elvis (just check out his website, that’s hours of entertainment in itself). The first dance was his suggestion – the DJ began playing I Can’t Help Falling In Love With You, everyone assumed it was a record, and then Chinese Elvis suddenly popped up from nowhere and began serenading everyone. It ended in a big singalong. There’s a way to deflect attention from yourself!

Congratulations Anita and Martin. Thank you Julia for sharing these beautiful wedding photos.
