  Lisa Lark Photography   Elopements are the current trend in the wedding world. Due a little bit to the current pandemic times, but not entirely – it’s becoming way more acceptable for couples to plan their wedding their way, adding in the aspects or traditions they want, and leaving out those that don’t cut the mustard.  There may be other reasons for choosing an elopement, such as saving money to buy a house, wanting a totally private ‘just us’ experience, or there may even be family issues.  You might just want to keep your wedding as low-key as possible and celebrate ..read more

Koh Tao wedding reception styling by Forever Lovestruck   What is a wedding, or any celebration without food?

The way you serve your wedding meal also reflects you as a couple, so it is important to do things exactly as you would want, whichever style that may be.

Making the decision to undergo a brand refresh has been a BIG decision for me, similar to the decision you’re making by taking the plunge and choosing a destination wedding. One involves palm trees, a white sandy beach and the exchange of vows; the other, a white (and very blank!) sheet of paper and the shift of a brand.  Both are a step into the unknown. A small business brand refresh is a huge investment of time, energy and emotions that requires planning, patience and long-term vision, just like the up-and-coming milestone in your life – your wedding.

This year’s Pantone Colour of the Year has seen a bold shift from the Greenery of 2017 to the deep and enigmatic Ultra Violet 18-3838. This deep and vibrant shade of purple is ideal for couples who are creative, a little quirky and like to test their boundaries! With its spiritual qualities, the colour purple often has a calming and destressing effect (great for those last minute wedding nerves), as well as being uplifting (so a wonderful colour to have for a party), and it combines perfectly with the tropical tones of a destination island wedding as our most recent Forever Lovestruck cou ..read more
