Local shoot - Romance under canvas

Let's take a moment to appreciate this gorgeous shoot again from the Sept/Oct 20 issue of Your Cheshire & Merseyside Wedding, with even more stunning images that we just didn't have space for in the magazine feature.

"Tipis are incredible spaces," says shoot coordinator and owner of Bouquet & Bells Claire Boon. "The canvas backdrops and handmade rustic furnishings just cried out for an autumnal styled shoot," she continues. So, Bouquet & Bells set about gathering together a fabulous team of wedding suppliers, capable of bringing the vision to life. The palette sings of the season with plenty of muted oranges, beautiful foliage and copper finishing touches. Claire says, "Those involved went above and beyond to ensure every last detail was covered."

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.
