Our Celebrity Brides: Camilla Dallerup & Kevin Sacre

Last Summer we were delighted when Camilla contacted us to say she loved our Buri Fans and wanted them for her wedding favours for her wedding to Hollyoaks star Kevin Sacre.

Camilla & Kevin were married on the beautiful island of Ibiza in July 2010. Their romantic beach feel wedding was featured in Hello magazine. We have the coverage from Hello magazine below along with some exclusive pics just for A Wedding Less Ordinary!

Camilla & Kevin had previously attended a wedding in Italy where they first saw the idea of giving 5 sugar almonds as wedding favours. Camilla instantly loved this idea and used this alongside the Buri Fans for their wedding.
Our thanks to Maria Slough at http://www.mariasloughphotography.com/ for providing us with these exclusive photographs.


Thank you to Camilla & Kevin for letting us share in their magical day!

Real Wedding: Katie & Dominic

Mr & Mrs. Dominic & Katie Strezo

Katie & Dominic married in the beautifully historic Genesee Theater in downtown Waukegan, Illinois on October 9, 2010. Katie & Dominic along  with 150 of their close friends and family then moved the celebration onto The Glen Flora Country Club.

Katie says "Our day was marked with record breaking high temperatures so we were able to enjoy the weather of June with the scenery of Autumn. We chose deep purple and other complimentary wine colours for our event and our surprise transportation, a vintage Packard convertible, even matched!

Valentine's Day Wedding Inspiration

The 14th of February, the most romantic day of the year and for many people it is the perfect day to say "I do". Planning your wedding for Valentine's day is not only romantic but gives you access to so many beautiful wedding decor and theme ideas.

And if the rumours are correct, you'll be getting married on the same day as Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie! They'll be doing it a little bit differently however, as they are planning a full Hindu wedding at a remote Indian healing centre in Jodhpur, north-west India, what else can you expect from Brad & Ange!

For the more 'traditional' of us however, we've put together two Valentine's Day inspiration boards focussing on the two most popular colours for the day, Pink & Red of course!

Vintage Glam Wedding Ideas

Following on from the vintage glam style that birdcage veils ooze, we're taking inspiration from this and taking a look at some stunning ideas on how to create a Vintage Glam Wedding.

Vintage Glam Weddings are some of the hottest style weddings out there this season, and we predict this to continue as a top wedding theme for 2012 and 2013. There's just something about that 1940's Hollywood look with the fishtail dresses, gorgeous hats, and feathered flower arrangements that is so attractive for the modern bride. If this style really appeals to you take a look at the inspiring ideas for your Vintage Glam Wedding below:

One of the best ways to add that vintage look to your wedding is with the dresses you choose. Dresses from this era are often sleek through the knees, where they flare out mermaid style. Your bridal dress can suit this style, and adding a deep V neck will make it even more glamorous. Add in more details like rhinestones and vintage jewellery to really draw the theme together. There are so many Vintage Glam Wedding accessories available, you really can create a wedding less ordinary. See our vintage glam wedding favours at http://www.aweddinglessordinary.co.uk/

Vintage Glam: Birdcage Veils Here to Stay in 2011

Following on from the Love Bird theme, a trend that is set to continue through the 2011 wedding season is the romantic birdcage veils. Made popular in the glamourous 1940s, the birdcage veil is a must-have wedding accessory that adds instant glamour and sophistication to modern brides.

Birdcage veils suit most wedding dress styles and can be adapted to add any finishing touches you may like. The addition of Peacock feathers was very popular in 2010 and with this summers jewel tone trend, this is still a beautiful choice.

The birdcage veil is a very elegant and sophisticated bridal accessory to complete a chic look. We've collected a few beautiful examples below:
