Pastel Bridesmaid Inspiration for Spring

After the weather forecast promised sunshine, only for it to rain, I've decided I'm done with winter, and started looking ahead to spring! First up for my spring-clean are bridesmaids dresses. I love these bright pastel gowns, and wedding accessories from BHLDN. Their bright tones are bang on trend for 2013, and your girls would be sure to wear them again and again. Last year was all about muted shades, but I'm predicting a big colour flush for this year - you heard it here first, look out for the brights!

Real Autumn Forest Wedding: Delphine & Joel

If you're worried about the weather at your wedding, this celebration should put your mind at rest. Despite the mist, in fact thanks to the mist, Delphine and Joel's wedding feels all the more romantic and intimate. They were married in a tiny ceremony, and Delphine's family travelled all the way from France her big day. I love the rustic simplicity of their flowers and Delphine's gorgeous dress, but most of all the love that spills out of the photographs. A fabulous reminder that you don't need details on your big day, ultimately it's just about you and your boy. Big love to Jessamyn Harris for her gorgeous pictures.

Real Colourful Vineyard Wedding: Blake & Ashley

Bold bright colours are much harder to style, but create such memorable weddings, that if you've got the guts then you should go for it. Californian couple Blake and Ashley picked fuschia pink and lemon yellow for their colour scheme, and in the hot bright west-coast light, it all came together beautifully. Their vineyard venue was naturally gorgeous, so they kept their florals to a minimum, with bundles of tulips and a scattering of petals up the aisle. Table displays were cleverly filled with sliced oranges, a fantastic idea to steal for your own big day. I'm also loving how the place markers were wedged into a corks, and the tables named after grapes, all great ways to continue the vineyard theme. Don't miss Ashley's amazing pink shoes - she even spelt out 'I Do' in blue sequins on the soles, as a super-cool 'something blue'. Stunning photos, as ever, from the mega-talented Sarah Yates Photography.

Real Rock n' Roll Wedding: Emily & Jasen

Strong lust for this gorgeous wedding in the mist. Stunning couple Emily and Jasen celebrated their big day in autumn style with dozens of fabulous design-details worth stealing.  Lets just start with the cute badges, peg-cake toppers and Chinese lantern table arrangements, and move quickly on to the free candy-bar, table stationery and hilarious direction sign - I'm loving it all! A huge thank you to the team at Our Labour of Love for their beautiful pictures. So often wedding photography is predictable and formulaic, and I think you'll agree Whitney and Jesse totally break the mould with their brilliant work.

Real Bright Summer Wedding: Kaelie & Drew

There's no doubt an all-white wedding is supremely elegant, but the bolder bride and groom should use colour to stamp their personality on their big day. Gorgeous couple Kaelie and Drew did just this at their fabulous wedding in September. Huge thanks to Simply Bloom Photography for these truly inspirational photographs. Loving the orange waistcoats!

Real Summer Garden Wedding: Jennifer & Ramsey

While I'm sunning myself in the south of France on my honeymoon, I thought it only suitable to post his gorgeous Provence-inspired wedding. Jennifer and Ramsey celebrated their big day under the olive trees with the scent of lavender in the air - what's not to like? I'm particularly loving their simple stationery and home-made jam adorned with olive motifs. Personalised caps are a brilliant idea for hot day favours, and check out the oyster bar and berry cocktails - yum! I'm also a huge fan of how Jennifer toned the tomato dishes with her bouquet and flower arrangements, all those beautiful oranges and yellows are the essence of summer. Huge thanks to Jessamyn Harris for her stunning pictures, and praise has to go to Molli and Denise of Green Girl Events, for their stylish ideas.

Real Misty Autumn Wedding Plus Giant Cupcake!

This wedding just goes to show that even on a classic grey, English day, a wedding can be truly stunning thanks to the little details. If anything, it's the mist at this couples' big day that makes it all the more romantic and atmospheric. Jessamyn Harris took these gorgeous photographs at the wedding last week, and I just adore all the picnic details - the marshmallows, camp-fire and cushions - plus the GIANT cupcake is the best!

Real Pretty Colourful Wedding: Kaelie & Drew

Maybe it's because the bride is so pretty, or maybe it's because they played golf to celebrate their union, but this wedding has totally captured my heart. Gorgeous couple Kaelie and Drew got married about a month ago, and they clearly had a blast. My favourite wedding ideas to steal? The groomsmens' outfits, the long-stemmed bouquets and the goldfish centre pieces. Big love to the team at Simply Bloom Photography for their lovely pics.
