Summer summer summer time!! Festival disco vibe

 SUMMER – We can be HEROES

As Festival and wedding season fast  approaches, the Summer of love is guaranteed to put a smile on the faces of all your family and friends. It’s an explosion of colour, sparkles and an injection of Bowie bolts to get everyone boogying. Love is free and everyone is dressed to impress. Enjoy our festival disco tent vibe with these fabulous photographs from Sassy at Assassynation and Kate Jackson Photographt

The table and backdrop is fit for a party that your guests will remember and all want a photo in front of. This was our chance to show you how you can have every colour of the rainbow at your wedding. Disco balls are hanging from the incredible arch and some are even hidden in the table setting. Styling by Clear Hearts and props and styling from Ava event styling are perfect for filling every inch of your photos with fun.

Light up letters from Doris Loves will mean you can party all night long and we love that they all stand alone so you can place them anywhere. Temporary tattoos in the shape of lightning bolts, inspired of course by the amazing David Bowie, are a great wedding favour (all the fun with none of the pain) and you can see one the grooms’ hand.

The fabulous models travelled a long way to be part of this shoot, we knew they would be excellent for the summer of love as they are so obviously devoted to each other! Our  bride Petra is wearing a dress by the incredible Couture Co, the sparkliest of dresses with a stunning sheer long sleeved number covered in stars over the top. A handmade dress that fits so impeccably. Our groom Simon rocked out hard in an orange suit from Oppo, forget navy and black being the only options! Both models had shoes made especially for this shoot by Morgan and Thread, we told them we needed fantastic kicks that said both 70’s disco and partying all night and boy did they deliver!

Accessories and jewellery were an important part of the styling for this look, they needed to be bright, OTT and exciting! We chose Working Clasp as they are all these things! Disco balls and metallics pick up the theme and we even used some of the Working Clasp pieces to decorate the table, when jewellery is this hella cool, it can be put anywhere! The crowns were the most tried on item of the day! Strawberry Whiskers makes these incredible headpieces and this one even has a disco ball in! Perfect with the models blue hair.

The makeup by Le Keux is so fresh and ideal for summer. Metallic eyes pick up shiny elements of the dress, jewellery and even the wonderful shoes. Now our summer model isn’t the type of follow tradition so her bouquet is a creation by Jamball, it’s made up of super bright fabrics, sweet flowers, embroidered leaves and even some buttons.

We all love a tasty treat at a wedding, the cake by Black Cherry Cake Co is so colourful, cutting it will be a feast for the eyes (as well as the mouth). It’s bright and bold, just like the amazing couple. Set on an incredible mirror plinth provided by Ava Event Styling.

If that isn’t enough splash then check out these wonderful lego cake toppers and table decorations, totally EWEnique and created bespoke by the clever girls at Heart Of Bricks

If the setting hasn’t got enough drama for you, we have an unexpected surprise – stilt walkers! Flambé Circus hippie stilt walkers are a wonderful surprise for guests at this summer of love wedding. There is also poi which when spun by these fab professionals has pictures of the famous EWE you might recognise!

The Eclectic Wedding Encyclopedia Hoo’s Hoo- it’s Anna Fine Jewellery!

 Bespoke , ethical jewellery design from our very own Lord of the Rings

Love this Rainbow ring!!!!

When you get engaged (and married) one of the first questions everyone’s asks is if they can see the ring! We’re here to tell you about a jewellery company that will ensure you’ll be proud to show it off.

Anna Fine Jewellery creates designs that buck tradition, they might not be what springs to mind for how a “proper” engagement or wedding ring should look but we know you guys aren’t interested in doing what’s expected of you! You’re unique and want the ring to prove it. Your brief might be like one of her couples “not mass produced looking and suitable for a hands on lifestyle” and if you want to design something that represents your awesome personalities, get in touch.

Anna is a one-person super team and she makes absolutely everything by hand (no robots in sight).  She designs and makes everything that she sells, so when you choose her to make your rings, or any other piece of jewellery for that matter, you’re essentially buying a little bit of her brain! Her commissions are as totally one of a kind as you are and she can work with you through the process until the minute you receive your faaaabulous jewellery darlings.

The jewellery is absolutely gorgeous with stones set in twirls, twists and natural patterns in gold or silver. She can ethically source all sorts of kick ass stones such as blue diamonds, emeralds, amethysts and more.

To Anna, EWE is all about not fitting in! It’s about being yourself and doing things exactly how YOU want to do them. When we asked her why she chose to be part of our fab directory she said “EWE is shaking up an industry full of people that have been telling couples they must all follow the same “wedding formula” for ever and ever!”
