A wedding, a carnival and a cast of thousands! part one
Angela and Adam chose the busiest day in Chester’s calendar for their wedding — but it’s a day they’ll never forget, giant papier-mache people and all!
The Chester Grosvenor pulled out all the stops to make sure the bride and groom, their horse and carriage and the open-top bus could navigate the (otherwise closed!) roads to the hotel amidst the carnival crowds — and it makes for a spectacular wedding blog post — or two!…
I’ll share this in two parts — with words by Angela and photos by Chester wedding photographers CG Weddings. Enjoy!
A glamorous wedding in Hampshire

This morning my little typing fingers have been sat quietly — I was stuck! Where to start with this gorgeous Hampshire wedding day… the breathtaking wedding photography by Elton Mogg (staircase… flowers…) or beautiful bride Hayley (swirling around in her dress with all the bridesmaids — magic!) — the elegance of the wedding venue (Rivervale Barn) or maybe the wedding dress itself (a wonderfully girly, swishy beautiful Sassi Holford gown).
Beckie Gregory — the lovely lady behind Temple Gregory wedding planners in London and Hampshire — showed me some of the photos from Hayley and David’s wedding late last year — and I loved them. This is like supreme glamour in weddings: the most exquisite, luxurious, beautiful everything you can see on a wedding blog.

Breakfast at Tiffany’s and a wedding at Eshott Hall
Elegance and glamour with a retro twist never looked so good… today I’m sharing Becky and Ben’s gorgeous wedding day from Eshott Hall in Northumberland. Ben is a very cool and dashing groom; I adore Becky’s glamorous style, her hair and make up and the charm and class of the entire wedding day.
The setting is captured just as beautifully by wedding photographer Alison Groves (who I was lucky enough to meet just a few weeks ago: she’s a lovely lady as you’ll see from Becky and Ben’s own testimonial at the end of this wedding blog).
Emma and Will’s beautiful marquee wedding reception
Yesterday I think English Springer Spaniel Tess - Emma's 'chief bridesmaid' - stole the show. Today I'll bring you back down to earth with a wedding blog about Emma and Will's exquisite marquee reception... I say down to earth, but shall we start with the helicopter?
Or… where yesterday’s wedding blog post ‘left off’?… as Emma and Will walked away from the church, happily married and smiling — to a nearby field where their helicopter was waiting.
Emma and Will: part two — the wedding reception
Will and I walked down the country lane and opposite was the fabulous navy blue helicopter, complete with champagne on ice.
Picture perfect — Liza & Jean-Luc’s Cambridge wedding
Everyone wants to know who will photograph a wedding photographer’s wedding. I featured Alice and Jamie’s wedding on the blog yesterday, with pictures by lovely Jean-Luc Benazet.
I can’t quite remember how I found out about Jean-Luc’s own wedding to the beautiful Liza, but I was delighted to see they’d chosen Geoff Reardon to be their wedding photographer.
Jean-Luc and Liza have written their wedding report to share with you, and the images of their wedding day are breathtaking — so I’ll leave you in their capable hands to enjoy today’s wedding blog.
Beauty and class: Dartmouth House wedding
Anthea and Nimish had a perfectly elegant, wonderfully stylish wedding at Dartmouth House in London. An exclusive wedding venue for a couple whose calm, sophisticated personalities fit beautifully with the luxurious surroundings.
I will always believe that weddings should be ‘you’ in that they are a celebration of your own style and personality — and whether your wedding’s held in a tipi or a mansion, you should feel at home. Anthea and Nimish fit this venue like a glove. The wedding photographs by Brett Symes Photography exude the same elegance and style.
This might make you cry a little!
Morning everyone. Pens down for a sec please: I’m very happy to say it’s movie time!… and I’m going to make you cry. There’s a split second glance in this little wedding film that tells me Jane and Steve both knew they’d be in tears — and they are. It’s beautiful to watch though, and I love seeing a groom covered in happy tears! The film is by the ever-so-lovely Marry Me Films
The Wedding Film of Jane & Steve at Iscoyd Park from Marry Me Films on Vimeo.
Wedding highlights to watch out for:
- Jane looks gorgeous in a beautiful, figure-hugging strapless dress.
Something blue… at Duke’s 92

My heart skipped a little when wedding photographer Scott Foley got in touch with this one: bride Pamela is a fan of English Wedding Blog so I’m really proud to post a story and a few pictures of their lovely wedding at Dukes 92. I love a wedding which is all about friends and family, and while Pamela and Andy’s wedding is beautiful for its elegance and simplicity as far as the decor goes, the love and fun shared with everyone on the day is what shines through.
Emma and Hieu’s English Country Garden Wedding

Emma and Hieu were married in the “Palladian Mansion House” of Combe Bank School in Kent. How exciting does that sound, for starters? Emma chose a purple theme for the wedding day, and her attention to detail with all the decor on the day is so impressive I’m calling this wedding feature ‘Perfect in Purples’!
With lovely images from Eliza Claire Photography, and Emma’s own report of the wedding day, I’ll leave this feature to Emma and Eliza to share with you. You’ll love it!
