Real Wedding: Melissa & Justin

If you're considering a rustic wedding, then look no further - all your inspirational needs will be met in this gorgeous countryside affair. From the top of the blissfully decorated barn to the bottom of Melissa's heavenly Monique Lluhlier gown, every detail is perfect. I'll be copying the white parasols, type-writer stationery and brown paper placemats - what about you? Don't miss the cute rustic bottles and fabulous vintage mirror wall!

Real Wedding - Jinhee & Mark

This is one of those gorgeous summer weddings where everything is just peachy! I'm loving Jinhee's detailed colour palette - she plumped for orange, blue, pink and yellow - perfect for a garden wedding. Also super-keen on how she used fruit to decorate the tables, giving the wedding a feeling of a harvest banquet. Other stealworthy ideas include the Spanish tile table markers, the handmade signposts and the fabulous drink station serving strawberry mint lemonade and mariposa plantation iced tea. Why not create your own signature cocktail for your wedding? Don't miss the stationery - menus were printed on the back of custom-made postcards welcoming their guests to Malibu. Just stunning! Beautiful photographs published with thanks to the lovely Sarah Yates.

Real Wedding: Ricci & Joel

The Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas has to be the coolest venue for a couple inspired by their love of music, and Ricci and Joel are the ultimate rock and roll couple. Just check out Ricci's amazing wedding day style - I'm loving her ruffled Betsey Johnson dress, Christian Louboutin shoes {edible}, and super-cool half veil by YJ Designs. Doesn't she look fantastic? Also seriously impressed by Ricci's bridesmaids' rock-chic strapless numbers, plus their skyscraper heels. Now that's an outfit they'll wear again! Throw in splashes of hot pink florals, an exotic owl motif, on-trend cupcakes and the best orchid display ever, and I'm in wedding-heaven. Gorgeous photographs with thanks to Sarah Yates Photography.

Real Wedding: Eric & Emily

At some weddings it's all about the dress. At others, the food or the venue. At this gorgeous private ranch wedding, it was all about the flowers. If you're struggling to find inspiration for your florals, look no further than the pictures of the amazing vintage-chic arrangements at Eric and Emily's big day. Copy their style by using old-fashioned containers for simple white blooms - check out car boot sales for old watering cans, watering troughs and urns. Loving the colour pop of the bright yellow in the bridesmaids' bouquets, and their neutral dresses. Everyone looks good in elegant silvery taupe. Other stealworthy ideas include the long banqueting-style tables and outdoor dining, something I'm hoping to do at my own wedding. Thanks to Sarah Yates Photography for her stunning pictures.

Real Wedding: Blake & Ashley

Bold bright colours are much harder to style, but create such memorable weddings, that if you've got the guts then you should go for it. Californian couple Blake and Ashley picked fuschia pink and lemon yellow for their colour scheme, and in the hot bright west-coast light, it all came together beautifully. Their vineyard venue was naturally gorgeous, so they kept their florals to a minimum, with bundles of tulips and a scattering of petals up the aisle. Table displays were cleverly filled with sliced oranges, a fantastic idea to steal for your own big day. I'm also loving how the place markers were wedged into a corks, and the tables named after grapes, all great ways to continue the vineyard theme. Don't miss Ashley's amazing pink shoes - she even spelt out 'I Do' in blue sequins on the soles, as a super-cool 'something blue'. Stunning photos, as ever, from the mega-talented Sarah Yates Photography.
