Polly and Chris first met each other at Burning Man Festival, so they found it fit to incorporate elements from their music festival origin story in their UK wedding. The couple’s wedding weekend at Osea Island started off with a romantic waterfront ceremony, followed by a traditional reception and an afterparty featuring three DJs that ran until 6 AM! Polly is a graphic and fashion designer, so she designed many of the wedding’s details such as the florals, her bridesmaids’ dresses, and her own wedding dress and festival-inspired evening attire. Sachin Khona Photographer and videographer Max Thurlow captured every detail of this couple’s wedding, including their guests’ fabulous afterparty attire!

Because all the guests could stay on the island for the whole weekend, we could party through the night and have a pool party the next day. We could do what we wanted and make as much noise without bothering anyone. There’s something so magical about being on a tidal island… knowing you can’t get on and off for a few hours a day is exciting.

I’m a professional designer so I really went to town and designed as much as I could. I designed my wedding dress and the bridesmaid dresses and I designed and made the whole of my evening outfit (except the leggings and shoes). I designed and created all the graphics, the flowers, hair and bridesmaid accessories...
