Wedding planning or work?
You deserve a little rest. You’ve been working hard all week! It’s Friday. Take ten minutes and enjoy this wedding loveliness instead. No one’s watching…
Real weddings
- The perfect village hall wedding on Whimsical Wonderland Wedding blog
- A gorgeous New Forest Wedding from Kerry Morgan photography
- Just a few — exquisite — photos from Carly & Ian’s wedding
- I miss the romance from wedding photographer Cat Hepple — Yorebridge House wedding
Wedding planning or work? (clue: work later)
Timekeeping is important. I’m crap at it: only this week did I realise my email subscriptions were landing at 3am!!! (thanks to Chris Hanley, who very politely mentioned his iPhone beeping in the early hours every day… Chris I do hope you got up to read my updates!) — and that’s just the start of my organisational problems.
Another example would be Friday afternoons: you know when it’s nearly the weekend and you just can’t be bothered finishing work you could do on Monday morning? That’s what I do. But then again… a little break, a breather, ten minutes of wedding planning instead of work… can’t do us any harm, can it? It might do us good: fire our creativity, perhaps.
Wedding Planning or Work?
Time for a little Friday afternoon blog hop, anyone?
I have to confess: I’m out and about this week and writing this blog post in a bit of a hurry. But I still have to share a few of the best bits of internet I’ve been enjoying over the last week or so.
Real weddings
- Glamorous Glasgow wedding on Love My Dress blog
- A Mountaintop Wedding
- A vineyard wedding in Oxfordshire

Wedding planning or work?
I’m sure if you’ve got something really important to finish it can wait five minutes. There’s an hour or two left before home time after all. You deserve a break, it’s Friday afternoon! We’re into weekend time already if you ask me
Course, if you like this little lot you can while away the time until 4 or 5 just blog-hopping and enjoying lots of wedding inspiration. I should apologise to brides and grooms who aren’t bloggers by the way: I’ve been reading a lot about blogging this week so there’s a bit of advice in here too.

Happy Friday everyone! It’s been a bit of a manic week at English Wedding towers, all busy on the blog, out doing exciting creative things and staying in doing tax returns. Ick. If you’ve had a busy week too, then — don’t listen to the boss — it’s officially the weekend now. I’ve got you some lovely bits of wedding blog land to enjoy until home time. Feet up, pens down, notepads at the ready because there are some brilliant ideas for you here…
Wedding planning or work?
For the first time this year, to brighten your Friday, here’s a bit of wedding blog love for you to enjoy!
This one’s been a long time coming, has it not? And I’m especially sympathetic to everyone in an office out there this week: I feel your pain, having spent much of this week surrounded in piles of paper — I’ve been doing my accounts. Ick!
But this… now this is fun. For me it’s research. For you it’s half an hour or more, as you wish, reading and getting inspired and looking at gorgeous pics!
Wedding planning or work?
If anyone out there is actually working now.… my heart goes out to you. That’s so unfair! And my blog post for today has the sweetest intentions to create a little distraction for you! Step into the world of weddings for a minute with me. Here’s the best of the world of wedding blogs (and weddings, and blogs!) from the week just gone.

- A stunning wedding, one of my highlights this week — from Rock My Wedding blog Those Three Words

Wedding planning or work?
Hang on a minute… where did the week go?! You know sometimes the days just slip by and you feel like you’ve missed one?! Yep — that’s me, right now. But — well it’s nearly Christmas now. So I’ve definitely got that Friday feeling and it’s time to relax and forget about work (yes I know it’s 2 o’clock) until Monday morning.
Time for some wedding treats from around the web…

Wedding planning or work?
Another Friday afternoon, another mini-escape from the pressures of the day job for anyone who’s twiddling a pen, gazing into space or watching the clock in the corner. (Do offices still have clocks in the corner? It’s been so long… does everyone just use the clock in the corner of their screen now?) Anyways…
Welcome to the land of weddings, blogs and pretty things.

Wedding planning or work?
Happy Friday everyone! I have a brand new feature for those of you who are in the office, clock-watching or rushing to finish a report. Friday afternoons are the worst, aren’t they? I’ve been remembering my days in Manchester’s Arndale Tower, working as a Marketing Exec in my seat by the window… when Friday afternoons were spent gazing out of the window, emailing my friends or chatting, often after a small glass of wine at dinner time.
