Wonderful, unique (and sometimes a little strange) weddings

The Wedding Guru's are always on the lookout for really different ideas particularly when it comes to bride styles. Every person is different and has their own unique style, but sometimes, every now and again one will come along that is really out there. We were astonished when we came across 42 year old Elaine Davidson’s wedding photos. 

Elaine is known as the world’s most pierced woman today. She has a total of 6,925 piercings, 192 of which are on her face and 1500 which are internal.

While Elaine's 'extreme' look is definitely not for everyone, her groom clearly sees past all of the piercings and paint to find a woman he wants to spend the rest of his life with.

Elaine made the Guinness Book of Records in 2000 explaining ‘I don’t really like getting pierced... but I suffer for my art’. She does not remove any of her piercings; she even sleeps with every last one in place at night.

Elaine was accompanied to a registry office in her home town of Edinburgh wearing a white gown as well as pink and white flowers and accessories around her hair.

Along with her trademark piercings all in place she also painted green, yellow and blue paint markings on her face.

Her husband, Douglas Watson, who appears to be exceptionally plain in comparison with no visible piercings, was dressed for the 35-minute ceremony in a dark blue suit with a blue shirt and tie.

While it is easy to be a little shocked by Elaine's look, we really wanted to share this with you and remind everyone that it's YOUR special day and you should have it ANY way that you choose.

The weird world of strange & bizarre Wedding Cakes

Wedding cakes are definitely something that every couple spend a lot of time deciding on. When I think of a fabulous wedding cake it conjures up all sorts of perfect images of little handmade flowers and intricately sculpted designs that leave guests in awe. Some cakes, however leave guests shocked for other reasons!

We believe the philosophy of 'each to their own', so we will give you the opportunity to make up your own mind on some of these more 'interesting' designs.

A Perfect Wedding, By The Wedding Guru’s

We’ve put together for you a little poem (non-rhyming) that covers all of the things that we believe are the most important for couples to remember in planning for and on your big day. We often see couples who are upset that their cars came late or the bride’s makeup was not exactly perfect and these little things go on to ruin one of the most important days of their lives. After putting in so much time, effort and hard work, we don’t want you to miss one single, tiny beautiful moment and so here are a few helpful hints we wanted to share with you!

A Perfect Wedding, By The Wedding Guru’s

A perfect wedding must be planned. Not perfect with ‘things’, but perfect with feelings, memories and sentiment. Where the important things are foremost and the little things forgotten.

Take time in the planning, really speak to each other and create amazing ideas based on mutual love, contribution and respect.

Remember the relationship above all. Spend quality time with each other without discussing the wedding,.

Give your vows much consideration and use them to really tell your marriage partner how much they mean to you. Look them in the eyes when you speak the words.

Don’t get caught up with the little things, whatever will be, will be.

On the day: Stop often and take in your surroundings. See your loved ones, the scenery, your partners hand in yours. It will be over in a heartbeat.

Let your heart remind your why you are there. Not the pretty dress or the lavish party. To stand side by side and pledge your love for eternity.

Find quiet moments in the chaos to just be with the other. Kiss, embrace and thank them for their love.

Don’t get so caught up in the excitement that you forget to just be there for each other.

When you dance, hold each other tight and look into each others eyes as if there is no-one else in the room.

Take the time to speak to each of your guests and thank them for their love and support.

MOST OF ALL…..

Laugh a lot, smile until your face hurts, feel more love than your heart can bear and breathe in every glorious second of it.

A perfect wedding day doesn’t just happen, you must create it with your thoughts, actions and words.

These are the laughs, the tears, memories and feelings that you will recall often with deep gratitude and love throughout your life.

Caleche Bridal House Wedding Gown Collection

Alexandra



Some time ago we brought you the stunning photos from the wedding of 'Ben & Daphne' in which Daphne was wearing a Caleche gown. We had a huge response to that post and wedding dresses is clearly a very popular topic with brides, so we have decided to bring you some of our favourites from the fabulous 'Caleche Bridal' collection. C aleche is a local Adelaide bridal house and we have provided a bit of their story below, from their website at http://www.caleche.com.au/. We hope you enjoy these gowns and they are deifnitely work a look if you are searching for that perfect dress. 

About Caleche Bridal
It all began in 1973 in an Adelaide Hills lounge-room with one machinist and a small bank loan.

French migrants Olivier and Colette Foubert began the Calèche Bridal Centre in such humble beginnings with patterns and fabric spread across the floor. Colette was the designer, Olivier the cutter. They travelled the country for five years, until agents offered to promote their range in Melbourne and Sydney. The business flourished and as their four children grew up, they each in turn joined the business.

Since Colette's passing away in 2003, Elizabeth Foubert, carries on the tradition of European style designs. Liz graduated from the London School of Design and then worked in France before coming to Australia 15 years ago.

Today, Caleche gowns are stocked in selected boutiques across Australia and New Zealand. In South Australia, at the Calèche Bridal House in Norwood, Brides-to-be can view the latest collections or have their dream gown made specially for them.
