The Wedding Style
I cannot emphasize enough how important I think it is lavish your wedding with your personalities. Personally I am a real outdoor girl with deep love of nature and the environment so with every decision I made, I would bare this in mind. Lucky for me my partner is similar in that he also loves the outdoors and is especially fond of the sea, we also share a passion for travel so it would only be right that we reflect this in our wedding somehow. I know we wouldn’t go abroad to get married as it is to important to us that all our family and friends could be there, so we would more than likely hold a summer ceremony on the coast somewhere in the UK, with a plan B if needed (You can never trust the British weather!)

The color palette
We both love bright colors, especially blues and greens so I can imagine this would feature quite heavily, although I wouldn’t allow myself to be too strict with a color palette, I am more of mismatch type of girl!

The wedding dress & shoes
To be honest I am not one of those girls that has dreamt up my dream wedding dress but as I write for a wedding blog for a living, it would be difficult to not have some idea of how I would like my wedding dress to look? I wouldn’t mind having a colored wedding dress but I am not sure if I would go big or more chic? I would definitely need to try them on! If we were to get married on a beach I probably wouldn’t worry about shoes too much?

Wedding cake
Neither me or my partner are huge on cake but I would love to have a massive cake made of cheese as we both love that!

Wedding favors
These would have to be handmade, along with much of our décor. I am a huge DIY fan and just love the thought of guests going home with gifts that that have been made with love and care! I would also really like to include something that would be good for the environment, like some flower or bird seed.

What would/will you do to entertain your wedding guests
We both share a similar taste in music so I know that we would want a live band to entertain our guests in the evening. I like the idea of having a few bands as we are both really into the festival scene.

Honeymoon
This is probably the part that we have dreamed of the most as we would both love to travel the world and that is exactly what I would want to do for our honeymoon. A girl can dream right!
