Bride Vs Groom

Springtime is here and that tends to mean one thing: ahead of the wedding season hitting its peak lots of couples are talking to their wedding photographer to arrange an engagement/pre-wedding shoot. But when it comes to the engagement shoot there’s a key question that needs a little consideration: where should it take place?

Many couples plan for their engagement shoot to take place at the same…

Today we’re excited to feature a super cool wedding film from friends of the blog HD Moments! Lily & Mark got married last summer in the stunning Silchester House and as you’ll see from the film it was a stunning mix of a typically British wedding fused with some amazing Chinese culture (not enough weddings feature dragons if you ask me!)

Lily & Mark’s wedding looks…

There are many traditions that still often take place at even the most unorthodox of weddings but of all of them the one that seems to draw the most puzzled glances from both the guests and the Bride and Groom themselves is undoubtedly the cutting of the cake. So should the cake cutting still be considered one of the key moments of the wedding day or has it become simply unnecessary? Time to find…

Sunight Vs Moonlight - The Friday Fight-Out Eclipse Special!

We’ve thought long and hard as to how to make a tenuous link between today’s solar eclipse and an interesting wedding debate, ranging from SUNday Vs MOONday through to some frankly ridiculous Jaffa Cake arguments (Full Moon, Half Moon, Total Eclipse) and perhaps even more worryingly just us talking about cheese. No debate, just basically mmm… cheeeeeeeese. I digress. In the end we’ve settled on a…

For long term Bride Vs Groom readers you’ll notice a subtle change in today’s title: where once we proclaimed these hallowed pages to be the thoughts of a videographer, now you will find the thoughts of a filmmaker. But what has brought this change about?

Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about the word Videography and what it actually means. So often when declaring my job title to be…

Eloping. I think at some stage in the often stressful process of planning a wedding we’ve probably all considered it (at least jokingly) but is elopement actually the way to go for your wedding? Time to put it to the debate!

In the Red Corner, arguing for a full-blown wedding with plenty of guests, she loves the craziness, fun and laughter of the wedding guests it’s Dom “The Tog Bride”

In the…

Now admittedly the title of this piece may not exactly be enticing you to read on, but I assure you the contents of this article are far from tragic and perhaps conversely positive (at least I hope they are!) For the statement “There Is No Hope” is meant not as a reason to start heavy drinking and hide from the world but rather as a Yoda-esque pearl of wisdom “Hope not, do or do not, there is no…

Welcome to this week’s (slightly delayed) Friday Fight-Out! We may be a day late but as this week’s debate is all about whether to opt for a Friday or Saturday wedding it’s perhaps rather appropriate! But you’ve waited long enough so let’s get down to this debating business!

In the Red Corner, arguing for the more orthodox Saturday wedding, she was never much of a Saturday shopper after all,…

We’re sorry for the radio silence lately on Bride Vs Groom, now being the time when the crazy world of weddings tend to quiet down a little we thought we’d take our opportunity to relax by rebuilding websites (including this one…coming soon!), continuing to edit and travel madly all over the place in an effort to improve ourselves and seek additional inspiration for the coming year… relaxing…

Hello from Italy lovely Bride Vs Groom readers!

We’re over in Rome right now: the land of history, architecture and apparently selfie-sticks! But, having found ourselves a little cafe with wifi to enjoy a pizza (when in Rome right?) we thought we’d stop and say hello to you lovely lot!

The reason for our visit is that we’ve decided it’s time we spent a little more time following some of our…

For the last couple of days we’ve been down in London acting as models for the amazing Nine Dots Photography workshop which has been an incredible experience. And as we’ve been listening to some great photographers talking with such passion about wedding photography it got us thinking again about the best way to keep and display your images after the big day. So today we thought we’d revisit a…

This morning, whilst brushing my teeth with some new-fangled technobizzle gadget I realised something: there is basically virtually nothing I do anymore that doesn’t involve technology in some way. My “never leave house without” is undoubtedly my phone (and probably my laptop given I’m CONSTANTLY EDITING!!). My desk has not one but three screens sitting on it. My car is equipped with Sat Navs and…

This week we thought it was time we took another look at a topic it’s a long time since we last visited: the wedding teepee vs the wedding marquee. Both venues can be set up pretty much anywhere you need them and provide plenty of space for any number of guests but which is the better way to go? Let’s see if we can find out!

In the Red Corner, she can’t get enough of capturing weddings beneath…

Bride Vs Groom has marked quite an extraordinary journey for me, not just in the act of writing (or at least checking and editing) a blog post virtually every day for the last three years but in the unexpected path my life has taken since we began writing it in what seems a lifetime ago. I never expected my life to change so drastically when I asked Dom to marry me, after all we had been going…

Happy Pancake Day

Happy Pancake Day folks! Or, as it’s known in BvsG’s home town of Scarborough, Happy Skipping Day! Yes for us Shrove Tuesday isn’t just about eating far too many pancakes (Gluten free of course), it’s also the day of Scarborough’s annual traditional skipping festival where, after one or two pancake races between local businesses and the traditional ringing of the pancake bell, kids and adults…
