Fall in love with this gorgeous styled shoot at Woodbank House

To find out more about this gorgeous set of images, we spoke to the shoot coordinator Bess Asprou from Woodbank House: "The aim of the shoot was to showcase all the suppliers and Woodbank House as a new venue. The contributors are very established in the wedding business, so the idea was to let them work their magic in order to introduce the venue. The colour palette was compiled by Jan Lima Flowers and was based on the seasonal flowers that were available at the time of year, which also determined the table décor and chairs expertly put together by The Luxe Touch and Simply Bows and Chair Covers. The beautiful bride was styled by Janet White-Ashby & Co and High Society Bridal Boutique and the artistic images were captured by The Storyteller."

Experts Warn Against Using AI for Wedding Vows

Experts Warn Against Using AI for Wedding Vows

With peak wedding season approaching, experts are warning couples not to rely on AI to write one of the most personal parts of their big day – their vows. A survey by jewellers Queensmith has revealed that more than half (55%) of UK brides and grooms are now using AI tools to help write their wedding vows and speeches, raising questions about authenticity, originality and even potential legal grey areas. The findings come amid a growing debate around AI-written vows after a registrar in the eastern Netherlands saw a marriage called into question when AI was used to help write the ceremony script. In the case, the District Court of Overijssel ruled that "no marriage has been established" after it emerged the registrar had relied on ChatGPT to draft parts of the ceremony. The case has sparked wider concerns that AI-generated wording could unintentionally mirror existing vows or scripts found online, raising questions about originality and authenticity.
