Claire Gould

Hi, I'm Claire, the editor of English Wedding. I've been sharing real weddings, planning advice and styled editorials by amazing wedding suppliers for more than ten years. As a supplier myself, I launched English Wedding as a platform for UK wedding businesses to stay visible online, publishing their beautiful work in a meaningful way - because I see how deeply suppliers care about everything they do. English Wedding has evolved to support a slower, more sustainable kind of visibility for wedding suppliers. Being published here protects your brand voice while helping couples discover your business, building trust through consistent features over time.

Advice

Pinch a fistful of salt – they’ve updated the ‘average wedding budget’ stats again. What to ignore and why.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if, instead of announcing a big ‘average’ wedding spend, the companies behind the research told us the lowest and highest amounts couples had spent on weddings in the previous year. No pressure, no ulterior motives – and I think it would be genuinely interesting! Since day Read more
