Pub wedding in Bristol Pub Wedding Venue The Battle Axes - lots of dancing & a sparkly Monsoon wedding dress!

The topic on the blog today is something that’s been bugging me all summer long. I’ve written about the positives on unplugged weddings before and I am so happy that they’ve had a huge upturn this year with lots of my couples having one – and even making cool signs to say so!

After working in the wedding industry for nearly 5 years it regularly aggravates me how much bullshit there is that’s angled to make the bride feel like she is not enough as she is, and how now she is a ‘bride’ there is even more of an expectation (and let’s be frank, normal every day life is just enough) to look million dollar perfect. And by that I mean like the size 0 air brushed models plastered on the front of the magazines. There’s lists about body scrubs and facials and pedicures and tanning and diet plans – the list goes on. You might think the one day of your life you are marrying someone you adore and who adores you, you might be free from that kind of pressure but in fact it is just multiplied.

Relaxed and Laid back festival Wedding at Barnutopia Glamping Venue in Wales

India.. the highs and the lows!

I cannot believe this has taken me over a year to blog! I loved this venue so much. A building with so much character and history, that works perfectly as a gorgeous wedding venue as well. There pockets of incredible light everywhere thanks to the beautiful windows and the interior is filled with industrial decor which is perfect for photographs. I don’t usually include that many photographs of ceremony rooms in my blog posts but this one is just too pretty to miss!
