My highlights: the Coast 2012 bridal collection
Love my job! OK this post goes… one for you, one for you, one for you, one for ME! I start out with the best of intentions to investigate the new bridal collections from Coast.
There are some beautiful wedding dresses there — prices average £600 and the designs are glamorous and elegant. They also go up to a size 18. Yay for Coast!
I urge you to have a peek at the new lines in Coast bridal collections for 2012. Here are my highlights, for you and your girls…

Bridal fashion shoot: winter and summer
This morning as we all shiver our way through the day I have some more winter bridal inspiration to share with you. I loved this shoot, with beautiful images by wedding photographer Brett Symes –with help from make-up artist Tora Young and stylist Natalie Dale. Brett has photographed numerous bridal fashion shoots, many of which have ended up in the national wedding magazines. He told me, “it’s incredible how these shoots start in influence and spill over into the way in which I photograph a wedding”.
Find your perfect spring or summer wedding invitation
On Friday I asked wedding invitation designers from all over the UK to share their best bright and summery invites with English Wedding blog. A cold and frosty day turned into a little ray of sunshine for me as lots of talented designers joined in to showcase wedding invitations with a cheerful spring and summer feel to them.
A new feature on English Wedding blog
This will become a regular feature because it gives you lovely readers out there a chance to see lots of new and exciting designs and ideas, all in one place.

Wedding inspiration board: English countryside
English Wedding inspiration board countryside theme
A final treat from Emma and Will’s gorgeous English countryside wedding and marquee reception featured earlier this week. This wedding inspiration board is for you to cut out and keep (should I say “cut, paste and keep” these days?!) or enjoy and share on Pinterest, facebook or wherever you like!
All the wedding photography is by Tino & Pip — please credit these guys for the lovely images. I made the inspiration board from their beautiful photos.
Have a lovely day!

Wedding inspiration board — winter berries
Yesterday I shared a ‘berry’ lovely winter wedding inspiration shoot by Hannah from Lifeline Photography. Today’s post is a quickie — something to cut out and keep!

So if you’re looking to make lots of things for your wedding, and you’ve got a little red riding hood costume knocking around that you don’t really need… this is perfect for you!

I’m sure if you’ve got something really important to finish it can wait five minutes. There’s an hour or two left before home time after all. You deserve a break, it’s Friday afternoon! We’re into weekend time already if you ask me 
Course, if you like this little lot you can while away the time until 4 or 5 just blog-hopping and enjoying lots of wedding inspiration. I should apologise to brides and grooms who aren’t bloggers by the way: I’ve been reading a lot about blogging this week so there’s a bit of advice in here too.
Wedding inspiration blog — winter berries
I’ve been waiting so long for a cold snap. I pictured myself blogging all wrapped up and toasty, with glistening icicles outside and this winter berries wedding inspiration shoot on my screen, next to a mug of steaming hot chocolate…
Well there’s no snow outside (yet). I give up!!! But it’s chilly. It’s been frosty… and the sparkles on the pavement in the morning say it’s time to blog this lovely wedding inspiration shoot!

Happy Friday everyone! It’s been a bit of a manic week at English Wedding towers, all busy on the blog, out doing exciting creative things and staying in doing tax returns. Ick. If you’ve had a busy week too, then — don’t listen to the boss — it’s officially the weekend now. I’ve got you some lovely bits of wedding blog land to enjoy until home time. Feet up, pens down, notepads at the ready because there are some brilliant ideas for you here…

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!
For wedding guests everywhere
Two questions: who is a wedding day about? who is a wedding day for?
Instinct tells me (I’m writing quickly and from the top of my head) the day is about a bride and groom. But it’s for their friends and family (of which they are a part).
I think sometimes that’s lost. Sometimes there’s too much “your day, your way” going on. Your guests should be a part of your wedding day: not just spectators, rather very special people in your lives, and those you want to share in your happiness and enjoy it with you.
