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.

Do something spontaneous this week!
I don’t like the phrase “wedding planning” — never have. In an ideal world we wouldn’t all need spreadsheets for our budgets and we’d float along happily picking up beautiful things along the way, with it all coming together just right on the big day.
So… the perfect antedote to the whole planning thing? Do something spontaneous. Like, perhaps — well are you free on Thursday night? Why not glam it up, nip down to The Mandarin Oriental in Hyde Park and enjoy the Caroline Castigliano catwalk show. There’s champagne to be supped and some of the most exclusive names in the wedding industry to be hobnobbed with.
Mia Sposa new high street bridal range
It’s been a few days since I’ve heard from my newest best friend and royal-bride-alike Cat Muddleton. Now rumour has it she’s been looking for a wedding dress… and naturally she came to English Wedding for some down to earth advice.
Cat told me she’s seen hundreds of wedding dresses online and is frankly a little dazzled by the choice. It’s something I hear again and again: there are so many wedding dress styles to choose from, and you can browse online till you’re dizzy, find a few you love but still be wondering whether they’ll suit you.

Win a luxury break for two
What do I love best about Caroline Castigliano? Hmmm.… Her wedding gowns are out of this world, she’s a UK bridal designer who specialises in the most sophisticated styles imaginable, there’s a new website, Facebook page, Twitter feed and more… that could be my favourite thing…
Ah, I’ve got it: it’s the great prizes that come with the new Castigliano Club. First a designer wedding dress worth £5k earlier this year, and now a luxury break for two. It’s a real taste of the Caroline Castigliano lifestyle… spa treatments, a butler for a weekend? Yes please!!!
Lucky lucky bride
It’s every bride’s dream — winning a wedding dress by your favourite designer, being styled and pampered by the experts and having them create your perfect dress. Amazingly, for lucky London bride Laura May, her dream just came true!
Caroline Castigliano launched her new website a couple of months ago, along with all-singing, all-dancing social media updates via Facebook and twitter, a blog and lots of behind-the-scenes photos and even fashion shoot videos.
Luxury bridal store relaunch near my house!
Caroline Castigliano boutique in Wilmslow, Cheshire, home of the minted.
Well, maybe not right near my house. But pretty damn close! Cheshire is a great place, a luxury hideaway for some of the UK’s most minted celebrities and a mix of cultures on Manchester’s doorstep. We have rolling hills and some of the best shopping in the UK, with our own Harvey Nicks and Lamborghini dealership (now that one really is near my house).
Wilmslow is the posh end of Manchester, just down the road from studentville and home to Manchester’s rich and famous. Where better for top English bridalwear designer Caroline Castigliano to showcase her extensive wedding gown collection, with many gowns that until now have been exclusive to the Knightsbridge boutique.
Caroline Castigliano Sale!
I have this news just in for any brides looking for a designer wedding dress at a great price. Caroline Castigliano dresses are really classic fairytale shapes, beautifully made, elegant and sophisticated.
For two weeks only, you can get a great discount off wedding dresses from the Caroline Castigliano London boutique. But book early! Appointments are essential, and I’m sure they’ll go quickly. For your exclusive invitation call 020 7636 8212.
Caroline Castigliano competition
As wedding competitions go, I think this has to be my favourite so far this year: win a designer Caroline Castigliano wedding gown to the value of £5,000.
The competition was launched in May along with the new Caroline Castigliano website showcasing the 2010 / 2011 collection. All you need to do for a chance to win is join the Castigliano Exclusives Bridal Club.
White and gold wedding dresses
Charlotte and Matt’s Wiltshire wedding, featured here on Sunday, was a classy and traditional occasion. The wedding colours were white with a touch of coffee — the bridesmaids’ dresses looked lovely in different styles but the same colour.
Green Union fair trade wedding dresses
Wedding dresses from Green Union are designed in London and handmade in India under fair trade conditions.
I wanted to show you these wedding dresses from the wonderful Green Union online boutique — the colours are similar to Charlotte’s bridesmaids with touches of soft gold rather than coffee (ok perhaps the link is a little tenuous, but it’s worth it to show you these!)
