We couldn't let our travel month go by without at least one real travel-themed wedding! But travel is more than a theme - Nicole and Mauro are one of those truly international jetset couples, for whom travel is much more than a set of travelly details, but rather a way of life that they're celebrating with their family and friends. For one thing, she's a South African girl and he's an Italian boy who met in Dubai - they've also explored the world together, and invited their guests to celebrate with them from a long list of countries and cities across the globe. They took their colour inspiration (very loosely) from a map, and translated it into the most beautiful pastel style (including three to-die-for tulle bridesmaid dresses in muted berry shades). Everything was warm and welcoming, from the solar jars they used as ice breakers/escort cards/favours to the soft twinkle of fairy lights. And, as they embarked on their greatest adventure together yet, the lovely As Sweet As Images was on hand to capture it all from behind the camera. Oh, and PS, how special is Nicole's 'something blue'? Her necklace was given by her father to her mother over 40 years ago. The romance!

Memorable Moment
When I approached the aisle and saw everyone there beaming with gigantic smiles and then saw Mauro at the end of the aisle wiping tears away from his eyes. It was my most memorable moment. It was also very special that my brother-in-law who I've known since I was 6, got to marry us. He tailor-made the sermon and vows just for us and left us with a special message which you can hear in our wedding video.
