Welcome to Black Meringue, the home of alternative wedding inspiration
We believe weddings should be a uniquely personal affair – two people committing themselves to one another for a lifetime. The way you choose to express your devotion on your big day should be a true reflection of you as a couple, so why try and conform to traditional wedding stereotypes if you’re free-spirited individuals?
We’ve got hundreds of ideas for off-the-wall weddings including raunchy, retro and revealing dresses, venues with a twist and entertainment that’s guaranteed to get your guests talking. All those flowers, bridesmaids, favours – these are superfluous to what’s really required: an honest heart. Stay true to your wants, needs and desires, no matter how ridiculous-seeming, and Black Meringue will show you the way to make the fantastical a reality.
