Don't Be Afraid To Be A Little Anti Wedding

Embrace your individuality and honor it on your wedding day.

Alison and Mike's wedding day was stylish and fun and totally unique.

They asked me to create matching wedding rings for them in 18ct gold with a honeycomb design (and a platinum bee for Alison), chosen for the special significance that bees have in Manchester, where Mike lived for a couple of years.

“The city became our second home, after Glasgow. The rings were designed in my home town (Ayr) and had the symbol of Manchester (the worker bee) so they felt perfect.”

Alison and Mike chose to have their wedding without guests.

"We met our photographer at 7am and had wrapped everything up, marriage and all, by 10am. We then sat on the sofa in our wedding clothes eating wedding cake, opening wedding presents and eating a beautiful food banquet provided by the Hanoi Bike Shop – it felt utterly perfect. Don’t be afraid to break the norms and be a little anti-wedding."

"Don’t be worried about going small. It might feel super selfish; it definitely did for us since we are both only children and we felt like we were depriving our parents of seeing their child getting married. In truth though, we didn’t want anyone else there. We could work to our own schedule and tick all the boxes we wanted to tick without having to worry that we were disappointing anyone."
