Hands up if you've ever fallen in love at the fairground?

I know I have... every single summertime in my early teens, usually around the waltzers - that's where all the coolest boys would be.

Looking back, the whole thing was pretty chavvy but, in my 14-year-old head at the time, it was well 'Grease' and I was Sandy ... 'cept the only thing 'Grease' about me was my hair and my face.

This super-cute styled-shoot perfectly portrays 'love at the fairground' better than my 14-year-old self ever did, that's for sure.

Shot on location in South Shields, North East at the Ocean Beach Pleasure Park, it's a celebration of the millennial bride and groom - cool, fun, alternative, and up for a good time!

I'm a big fan of making the most of your surroundings on your wedding day so, I absolutely LOVE those heavy pops of colour! What an awesome backdrop a fairground makes for a modern couple.

The show-stopping pink 'Fleur' gown by Anny Lin is a perfect example of how to be contemporary but still look like a fairytale bride. The hand-made choker (courtesy of Creative Director, Karen Bell) brings it right up-to-date.

The groom owes his dapperness to Woven Durham where you will find a much more unbounded range of suit options than the general 'monkey suit'.

Question: Where was this Eliza Jane Howell 'Star' gown when I was getting married?

If only I could turn back time.

This is the perfect gown for the millennial bride who is rarely out of her converse... ME!
