Who doesn't love rainbows? They represent happiness, fun and hope. The exact reason why Maria and Sam choose rainbows for their wedding theme. They incorporated bright colors in almost every detail of their wedding, creating an atmosphere where it would be impossible not to smile. From Maria's peekaboo rainbow petticoat to the rainbow inspired Victoria Sponge Cake. Rainbow bright could not have done a better job.
Read on to hear more details from the bride and as always see more images in the gallery from We Heart Pictures. If you are looking for more rainbow wedding inspiration click here.

From The Bride:I knew exactly where to head- Fur Coat No Knickers! A short little fifties number was the order of the day, and Laura and Emma at FCNK kitted me out in a real beauty! The dress was unquestionably gorgeous from the onset, with a stunning strapless lace bodice trimmed with delicate bow beneath the bust, but the original long tiered lace skirt just wasn't me, so the girls set about creating a masterpiece! So we decided to add a tea length tulle skirt to create the perfect fifties silhouette, created a halter neck using the lace from the original skirt and the piece de resistance, a peekaboo rainbow petticoat which meant I was pretty much flashing my knickers all day (whoops)! The dress was truly amazing and I loved every second in it, so much so that I'm even considering dying it so I can wear it again and again!


Red glitter killer heels! I had always dreamt I would walk up the aisle in a pair of Louboutins, but when I spotted these beauties in Kurt Geiger soon after our engagement I knew they were destined to be "the ones"! They were utterly fabulous, but by the evening my tootsies were tired so I changed into sweet strawberry smelling hot pink pair of Vivienne Westwood Lady Dragons which were marginally more comfy! Any excuse heh?!


When it can to the venue decor, I knew I had to go for the 'flowers in jam jars' look- some may say it's a tad over done by now, but hey ho, I love it and think it looks fab! So of course after months of collecting hundreds of jars and bottles, and a lot of label scrubbing from my mamma, our beautiful glass vessels were tied with pretty ribbons to create the table center pieces which looked utterly gorgeous! Thank you Nadine, Sam & the girls!
