So when Kat shared with Bridebook her top 3 tips for having an amazing alternative wedding, we could hardly wait to share it with all of you! Remember, your wedding is all about you as an individual and truly unique couple – so be sure that you show it! Read on for Kat’s inspiring tips:

1.

Sit down with your other half and discuss the things that define you – is it tattoos? video games? movies? outdoor pursuits? And bring those things into your wedding. The ‘best’ weddings are those that truly reflect the couple, not ones that have things just because they’re popular on Pinterest!

2.

Get a really great photographer (and if budget allows, videographer). After the wedding those images will become your memories. Don’t scrimp on them. The biggest post-wedding regret I hear is from people wishing they had a better photographer.

3.

Wear an outfit you feel fabulous in. It could cost £2000, it could cost £20, it doesn’t matter as long as you feel amazing!

With regard to wedding style, we aim to publish a selection of culturally diverse weddings from across the UK, ranging in budget, venue type and style.  Couples especially love to see creative personal touches and unique DIY features.

Frequently Asked Questions:

You’ve requested colour photos, but will you publish my black and white photos?

We always prefer to publish colour images on Bridebook.  If black and white photos are part of the photographer’s artistic expression then we will consider them, however, our preference is always for colour images.

I’m a bride/groom, can I submit my own wedding?

At this time we are only accepting real weddings submitted by professional photographers with Business profiles on Bridebook.  As a recently married couple, you can encourage your photographer to create a free profile on Bridebook and then ask them to submit your wedding. 

Can I submit a real wedding that took place outside of the UK?

Bridebook will only publish real weddings that took place in the UK.  Please do not submit a wedding that took place abroad.

I’ve got another question that’s not listed here. Who should I contact?
