Gemma and Nick’s DIY Jewel of a Wedding
Waaaay back when, in late Autumn of 2018, we had the pleasure of helping the now Mr and Mrs Pennell to plan their loved up DIY wedding in Siddington Village Hall. Now it must be said, that these guys were an absolute dream to work with, as right from the very beginning Bride Gemma knew…
Ralph & Hilary’s Vibrant and Wild Wedding Festival
It’s not often we get the challenge of helping couples plan their wedding with less than four months to go, but when Hilary and Ralph got in touch in June, asking if we could plan their wedding in Sept 2018, we couldn’t say no! Hilary and Ralph lead extremely busy lives with schedules…

One of Our Alternative Weddings made it into Rock ‘n Roll Bride!
This week started off brilliantly here at HQ because we finally got our first wedding on Rock ‘n Roll Brides much celebrated blog!

Creative Wedding Photography by Nicola Hunter
Your wedding photo-album should be a thing of precious beauty. It should fill you with the same loving buzz that you felt on your wedding day and be both a memento and an heirloom to treasure forever. What better way to make sure that happens than by hiring an artist to be your photographer and…
Free Thinking Floral Designs by Alternative Weddings Manchester
When we started Alternative Weddings Manchester we had no idea that within a year of business, as well as helping people co-ordinate and style a range of unusual wedding venues, we’d also be taking on a whole range of creative flower commissions!

A Bright and Bouncy Wedding at Band on the Wall
