The Wedding Notebook Magazine October 2021 – Issue 36
After what has been a tumultuous 18 months, we are finally getting a glimpse of the light at the end of the tunnel. Here’s hoping 2022 will be a better year for all, as countries begin to emerge from the pandemic. As far as we’re concerned, weddings will never be the same again, and that’s why we’ve dedicated this issue to asking wedding photographers about the most meaningful weddings they’ve shot, and their predictions for future weddings (hint: no frills, intimate, and emotional). Bridal portraits, too, have shifted, as most couples opt to have theirs done locally. It’s no longer about magnificent landscapes in exotic destinations; rather, photographers are making…

An Intimate and Whimsical Floral Wedding
There’s nothing like flowers to mark a joyous occasion, and we’re in love with the wheat stalks and bright blooms of this beautiful and whimsical wedding. With the world beginning to open up again, Abby and Julo are one of many couples who opted for a smaller celebration, but that didn’t stop them from going all out to enjoy their big day. A downsized wedding doesn’t mean a lack of detail; if anything, the bride’s gorgeous ankle-length gown, sleek over-sized sunglasses, and bow that was attached to her veil were all the right elements for the perfect Audrey Hepburn look. Many thanks to ProudRad for this gorgeous set of wedding…

The Wedding Notebook Magazine July 2021 – Issue 35
With travel plans and many weddings put on hold, we hope this issue will inspire you as you plan your own pandemic wedding. Most of these couples will have waited at least a year for their big day, and there’s a couple who waited 693 days! Despite the pared down guestlists and last-minute changes, each of these weddings were a dream come true, featuring unique highlights such as the creative use of an abandoned space, a yacht celebration, a Santorini-like venue, and a surprise retreat in place of an after party! What’s that saying? “If you can’t change the situation, change your attitude.” See how you can emulate a destination…

Fuss-free and light-hearted weddings take centre stage this issue, as we share stories of couples who kept things intimate with a small reception – or ditched their reception in favour of a photography session.

An Impromptu Silver and Blue Church Wedding
For many couples, a postponement of their wedding was inevitable when the pandemic hit. With Bianca and Modesto, however, they decided to bring forward their wedding date and just tie the knot anyway! Saying ‘I do’ to the love of your life really just needs the both of you, a handful of witnesses (loved ones and family), and the priest to officiate. Standing before just 10 guests and with social distancing protocols in place, they pulled it off! That didn’t mean they had to compromise on the décor and flowers or their wonderful day. With the mothers of the bride and groom looking resplendent in their grey-blue gowns and the…
