Hello! I’m Claire and this is my UK wedding blog.
English Wedding is an independent blog. That means it’s just me here, and I’m not linked with any big wedding industry magazines or big-profit making corporations.

A wedding cake spectacular: 14 contemporary cake ideas

Good morning! Who likes cake? And have you chosen your wedding cake yet? I’ve picked some of my favourite wedding cakes from all the real weddings on English Wedding blog over the last few months, and thought it would be a great way to get a little wedding cake gallery going!

Wedding inspiration, French style: pink and glitter
So pleased, and happy. I’ve discovered a real life French wedding blog in La Mariée en Colère (translated: The Angry Bride). So the plan for today is I’m blogging Nathalie’s gorgeous inspiration shoot for you, then I’m off to brush up on my français.
French inspiration shoot from La Mariée en Colère
This shoot (“shooting d’inspiration”) is deliciously girly: with perfect pinks and delicate pastels, beautiful little flower arrangements for tables, a bright and summery bouquet plus wedding stationery (elegant as you’d expect!) — it’s just divine. The pictures speak for themselves, and I’ve credited all the suppliers involved below:

I’ve found some brilliant bits of internet for you this week: real weddings, DIY projects, discussions and — a new bit of Wedding planning or work: wedding business stuff. I’m just going to jump in. Highlights today include Alex Beadon’s business blogging advice, and discussions on beauty from Anna (Far from the wedding crowd).
Enjoy. And have a wonderful weekend xx

Wedding jewellery ideas — oops!
As my darling Gareth would say in his best Frank Spencer accent, “I think I’ve done a little whoopsie.” I’ll elaborate: in March I asked wedding jewellers to share their sparkliest designs on the English Wedding Showcase. I intended to share them with you all the very next week… I made two inspiration boards and put them on the English Wedding facebook page, but forgot to share them with you here! Let’s fix that 
Wedding jewellery: delicious silver inspiration board
Bridal jewellery from the UK — wedding inspiration board
Sweet as candy wedding inspiration board
Get your pink-sunglasses out, quick! Because we’re still in the land of marshmallowy, fluffy, girly, princessy wonderful pink. Today’s wedding blog is an inspiration board — I saved some of my favourite bits from yesterday’s pink wedding inspiration shoot for you and made a wedding inspiration board for all the girly girls out there. And just for today, I’m one of ‘em. Join me?

As sweet as candy — VERY pink wedding inspiration
Sometimes the girl takes over. When faced with a sea of pink in, say, Toys R Us, I run in the other direction. But today, seeing this pinkness… it’s like candyfloss, marshmallows and cherry blossom — everything the girl inside me adores. This inspiration shoot is beautifully indulgent, unashamedly pink — and full of ideas for a deliciously feminine wedding style.
Pink is still a favourite colour for brides — and an indulgently pink wedding theme has to say something about the groom too: he’s either head over heels in love and just wants his bride to have the day she’s always dreamed of or he’s in touch with his feminine side! So girls, boys — join me to enjoy lots and lots and lots of pinkness on English Wedding blog today.
Bridal accessories showcase — quick, follow me!
Morning everyone! I hope you’re having a lovely day so far. Especially if you design wedding jewellery or know someone who does — because I need you! Back in February I asked for wedding invitation designers to showcase their wares and so many of you did: with bright, summery wedding invitations to appeal to every taste and wedding style.

Timekeeping is important. I’m crap at it: only this week did I realise my email subscriptions were landing at 3am!!! (thanks to Chris Hanley, who very politely mentioned his iPhone beeping in the early hours every day… Chris I do hope you got up to read my updates!) — and that’s just the start of my organisational problems.
Another example would be Friday afternoons: you know when it’s nearly the weekend and you just can’t be bothered finishing work you could do on Monday morning? That’s what I do. But then again… a little break, a breather, ten minutes of wedding planning instead of work… can’t do us any harm, can it? It might do us good: fire our creativity, perhaps.

Time for a little Friday afternoon blog hop, anyone?

I have to confess: I’m out and about this week and writing this blog post in a bit of a hurry. But I still have to share a few of the best bits of internet I’ve been enjoying over the last week or so.
