A shameless plug…
“Hmmm”, said Claire one January morning as she battled with her stupid tax return.

“Hmmm, I wonder if I can get away with blogging about my very own English Wedding facebook page today.”
Over in the corner, the taxman nodded sagely, looking at his watch.
Thought Claire, “Well, I have just uploaded a batch of rather special wedding photos from a few of the real weddings I’m about to blog.” and then, looking vaguely guilty, “and it did take a whole five minutes to do that.”

Wedding planning workshop
Planning a wedding — it must be one of the hardest projects in a girl’s life! Second to A-Levels, wedding planning must take so much time and effort — I honestly don’t know how you all do it. For some of you, wedding planners will be the answer. But did you know there’s a very affordable way to get a wedding planner’s knowledge in your own head? Over to Julie Dawson aka The Wedding Genie to tell you more…

Find yourself a winning wedding supplier!
The best wedding suppliers were announced at the Cafe de Paris in London
The 2012 Wedding Industry Awards Event was held last night, with winners in the national categories announced. Congratulations to all the winning wedding suppliers — well deserved in every category.
In the spirit of the fabulous organisation of this event, the national results are already on the official website (somebody must be updating the site with a sore head this morning!) for the world to see.
Is that Cinderella? A Northbrook Park wedding
Wedding photographer Marshal Gray is a wedding photographer too cool for school, with a wonderfully artistic approach and a fantastic blog. Real name Gary Marshal, I’m sure I’ve called him Marshal more than once since we first chatted online a year or so ago. He’s a lovely guy, and the perfect choice for Louisa and Andrew.
This wonderful couple were married at Surrey’s Northbrook Park last summer. The sun shone, the day went swingingly and there are some beautiful images of the bride and groom here for you to enjoy. My favourites are the look they exchange, holding hands when they’ve put the wedding rings on — and the bit where Louisa gets to try on lots of shoes… Cinderella style! I’ll leave you to see that one for yourself!

Doing sunflowers with style: Mitton Hall wedding
This cute hand-drawn card for “Miss Payne and Adam” got me first. Then I fell in love with the sense of camaraderie at Alexis and Adam’s Mitton Hall wedding. The icing on the cake was — well, the gorgeous little cake sculptures which are little adventures of quirkiness all to themselves.
I feel as though I’ve followed Alexis’s wedding planning journey a little, and I was excited to see her wedding day — I’d heard all about the lovely lady from my friend and wedding photographer Jonny Draper months and months ago when we first met.
Days to Go: 82
Lots of things have been happening! I can’t believe we’re down to double figures with the days to go!
My friends have been planning my very secret hen do. All I know is where we’re going, what time I need to be there and that at some point we will be eating! I love surprises but I’m so curious about what we’ll be doing! I really want to be sneaky and find out but in all honesty I do love surprises.

Wedding planning or work?
For the first time this year, to brighten your Friday, here’s a bit of wedding blog love for you to enjoy!
This one’s been a long time coming, has it not? And I’m especially sympathetic to everyone in an office out there this week: I feel your pain, having spent much of this week surrounded in piles of paper — I’ve been doing my accounts. Ick!
But this… now this is fun. For me it’s research. For you it’s half an hour or more, as you wish, reading and getting inspired and looking at gorgeous pics!

A Derbyshire wedding — part two
Yesterday I was delighted to share Nicola and Bertie’s beautiful Derbyshire wedding blog with you — with the most gorgeous photos from Kirsten Mavric.
Nicola was a truly beautiful bride in an exquisite lace wedding dress by Sassi Holford, marrying Bertie in a Derbyshire village church with an old English feel to the day. I loved their focus on family and friends, and hearing about Nicola’s jewellery — all family heirlooms — was a real treat.
Today it’s time for the wedding reception, and I’ll leave you with part two of Nicola’s wedding story to enjoy!
