Behind the Story: The Makers of The Wedding That Never Was

When we first began imagining our Wuthering Heights inspired editorial, we knew we didn't simply want to recreate scenes from Emily Brontë's novel. Instead, we asked ourselves a different question.

A wedding shaped by personality rather than pressure. A celebration that reflected the way they already lived, loved, and moved through the world.

Strange Wedding Traditions From Around The World (And Why You Shouldn't Be Afraid To Create Your Own)

Weddings are full of traditions. Some are centuries old, and some are surprisingly recent. We can follow the logic of some, but others leave us wondering how on earth it became a thing.

Every tradition though, no matter how strange it might seem today, started with someone deciding that a particular action carried meaning. Which raises an interesting question…

If all traditions began somewhere, why shouldn’t you create your own?
