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).
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.
The runaway veil and the wedding photographer
At a real wedding, scary things can happen. Picture the scene: having your picture taken outdoors, a gust of wind and… off flies your veil. Over a barbed wire fence, or so I’ve heard. Who’d have expected intrepid Yorkshire wedding photographer Pete Barnes to follow, risking life, limb and trouser-safety in a daring dash to the rescue.
Our knight in shining armour submitted Anna and Fraser’s beautiful wedding to my blog. I don’t think he mentioned his little adventure in his emails! Wonderful what a bit of wedding-blogger-research turns up. Also of note are Anna’s adorable flower garland — I want one — her stunning smile and the romance that fizzles between the happy couple.
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!

Countryside wedding inspiration board
Did you see Tanya and Andy’s countryside wedding on the blog this week? I loved it so much I’ve turned the blog feature into a three-day event! We’ve heard about camping in the countryside before the wedding day, about tambourines in church and the band playing around the campfire, about games and cakes and lavender and campervans…
…well, I had to make you an inspiration board from some of the wedding photographs — all of the lovely images above are by reportage wedding photographer Mark Carey. The details and ideas to take away for your own wedding are:

Brick House Farm creative wedding reception
So today I have a treat for you — part two of Tanya and Andy’s lovely relaxed, family orientated wedding. There’s something so special about doing things your own way: from the wedding ceremony where all the children had tambourines, to Tanya’s beautiful and unconventional wedding dress.
I would shout from the rooftops about making your wedding personal to you, about sidestepping tradition and making a wedding a celebration of who you really are. Today, I don’t need to: Tanya and Andy are showing us exactly what that means and how special and perfect it can be.
A beautiful real wedding at Brick House Farm
Today’s wedding blog is for all you brides and grooms planning a relaxed, informal and fun day: a wedding without stuffy rules, constraints and conventions. Tanya and Andy had a fabulous creative wedding at Brick House Farm in Kent, and reportage wedding photographer Mark Carey was first to tell me about their day.
I instantly loved the few images he shared with me. I knew I had to email Tanya right away and she was kind enough to share her amazing wedding story for the blog. It’s a wonderful tale — here is a bride with imagination and a wonderful confidence to create a really personal wedding day.
A beautiful, classy Cheshire wedding — blog two
Yesterday I shared Andrea and Richard’s classy wedding in Cheshire. They were married in July and despite the rain it was a beautiful celebration: not least for Andrea’s stunning halterneck wedding dress and the inclusion of their adorable little son and the cutest EVER bridesmaid and flower girl.
I saved lots and lots of gorgeous images of the wedding reception for you. A deliciously sophisticated garden wedding reception, this blog post is full of ideas for styling your day — as well as the usual collection of beautiful wedding photos to make you smile and dream of your own wedding day!
A classic English wedding day
The scene for today’s wedding blog post is The Manor By The Lake. The tone of the day is beautiful, cheeky and fun. The bride and groom are Dawn and Gavin, very much in love and all smiles from beginning to end.
The wedding photographers are Jenny and Keith McAvoy, aka McAvoy Photography. They’re the perfect team to shoot this wedding day — fun loving and relaxed, with an eye for the quirky, contemporary photography that’s just right for Dawn and Gavin’s wedding day.
I shan’t waffle: I’ll leave you to read and enjoy.

Cricket with oranges and lemons — wedding!
I haven’t quite lost the plot… I’ve been inspired by a creative wedding day with a super English theme: cricket! Heidi and Kato were married at Buxted Park Hotel in the summer, their theme was oranges and lemons and the groom’s cricket team made an appearance to give some of the most memorable wedding photos I’ve seen!
Once more, this is all about creativity on English Wedding blog. The team photos with the gorgeous bride taking centre stage (“at the fore?” or is that golf?!…) are just brilliant.
