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
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!
I made a wedding inspiration board for you with Hannah’s lovely images and all the little accessories and decorations from the day. 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!
With help from some wonderful wedding suppliers

Vintage & lavender wedding inspiration board
One thing: I absolutely can’t possibly let this one get away without making an inspiration board, I thought. Nicola and Chris created a wedding that was true to their personalities, full of creativity and character.

I’ve blogged their vintage wedding in Derbyshire over the last two days. I didn’t want the blog features to end! So I’ve even kept some of Nicola’s wedding report back for you today.
Pretty in Pink! Wedding inspiration board
Some classic pink wedding inspiration from Suzy and Bruno’s Hengrave Hall wedding…

Wedding inspiration — Pretty in Pink
Choose a focus for your wedding decorations — don’t spend a fortune on every detail, but choose something fabulous that will be a real talking point: in Suzy and Bruno’s case, the table centrepieces are statuesque and colourful with roses, feathers and foliage perched on glass pillars.
Keep your details elegant and simple: a wedding table plan focusing on word art is a great idea. Suzy and Bruno chose simple pink flowers for the four edges of their plan and an ornate black frame which I love.
Jerk and Jam — English vintage and Caribbean wedding inspiration
Yesterday I was so happy to share Sally and Gareth’s gorgeous real wedding on the blog — with Sally’s own wonderful wedding report and all those lovely images from wedding photographer Dwiko Arie it was a wedding blogger’s treat!

Today — I have more. There are literally hundreds of wedding DIY ideas for you here — all vintage inspired, creative and fun. Sally’s ideas for the wedding came together beautifully and Dwiko Arie’s images captured her inspiration so well.
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:

Wedding inspiration board: summer gold
Yesterday I featured Emma and Tom's wedding on the blog, a sophisticated and beautiful wedding at Cheshire’s luxurious Arley Hall. Behind the scenes I was hoarding some of the lovely detail photos — wedding photographer Phil Drinkwater sent me so many I was absolutely spoilt for choice.
Cue a wedding inspiration board for any brides and grooms out there who are planning an elegant, light and summery gold theme for their day.
