If you’re looking for a little joy in the world today, we have it for you. A quiet elopement in Devon, set in a 20th century mansion which offers intimate weddings for 2 as well as celebrations for over a hundred guests. Lucy and Lewis chose to elope, as they have two young children and in Lucy’s words, “we wanted to be in the moment and enjoy it together.” The beautiful images prove they did just that. They celebrated three weeks later with friends and family with a wedding in Plymouth – but it’s their elopement story we’re sharing on English Wedding today.
Are you dreaming of a wedding with timeless charm? Vintage weddings are back in a big way in 2025, and they’re not about copying the past, they’re all about adding meaningful, personal touches that make your day feel uniquely yours. Whether you’re inspired by the elegance of lace, the richness of velvet, or the nostalgia of the 80s, here are some beautiful vintage ideas to inspire your wedding!
Why Choose a Vintage-Inspired Wedding?
This chic, stylish wedding ticks all the boxes. Stunning florals, elegant attire and the sweetest couple who’ve written loads about their fave suppliers for their English Wedding blog. Definitely the first wedding we’ve featured with an F1 simulator – and it went down a storm! As a wedding blogger and calligrapher, the highlights for me are 100% the gorgeous images captured by English Wedding member Joss Denham Photography, and Jodie’s gorgeous lettering – super stylish, and ever so beautifully done!
A blast of summer wedding inspiration to brighten your screens this Monday! This stunning photoshoot was sent in by Sam at Rose Rae Photography and I’m bowled over by all the amazing colour and those utterly breathtaking florals. Take from it what you will: colour palettes to bring joy to your day; the modern wedding aesthetic and joyful vibes; the thoughtful styling and lush, warm tablescape – just remember this isn’t a real wedding: it’s a styled photoshoot designed to inspire your own wedding look!

I’m uniquely placed as a wedding blogger from a wedding business background – and so the behind-the-scenes stories of this industry are something I find really interesting.
Authenticity and transparency are super important in today’s world and especially in weddings: so I’ll be following European Bridal Week with interest. In my inbox this week, a press release from the team behind this mega event, celebrating EBW as “providing a window in to the creativity, craft, and passion that shape contemporary bridal fashion“.
