My heart skipped a lit­tle when wed­ding pho­tog­ra­pher Scott Foley got in touch with this one: bride Pamela is a fan of Eng­lish Wed­ding Blog so I’m really proud to post a story and a few pic­tures of their lovely wed­ding at Dukes 92. I love a wed­ding which is all about friends and fam­ily, and while Pamela and Andy’s wed­ding is beau­ti­ful for its ele­gance and sim­plic­ity as far as the decor goes, the love and fun shared with every­one on the day is what shines through.

Romance, tears, kilts and sunsets

Posted on November 7, 2011 by Claire

Neil Wed­ding Video– Heaton House Farm Cheshire from silk wed­ding videos on Vimeo.

This gor­geous wed­ding film by Silk Wed­ding Videos needs very lit­tle intro­duc­tion. A beau­ti­ful bride in a ruf­fled wed­ding dress; her gor­geous (and tear­ful) groom in kilt and sporren; an idyl­lic Cheshire loca­tion and about as loved up as a wed­ding video can be.

Wed­ding video highlights:

  • the adorable brides­maid watch­ing prepa­ra­tions in the morning
  • tears from the groom and his heart­warm­ing vows
  • a lovely Scot­tish accent and bag­pipers to go with it!
  • dogs in col­lars made of roses. Eat your heart out Tamara!

Real wedding film from Thornton Manor

Posted on October 7, 2011 by Claire

Vic­to­ria and David’s wed­ding is gor­geous — when Sara and Tony from Marry Me Films got in touch I instantly fell in love with this film from their Thorn­ton Manor wed­ding. Vic­to­ria is a real Eng­lish beauty, and her wed­ding dress cov­ered in lace and sparkles is really, really lovely.

So today’s blog post is a quickie for me to write! Enjoy the wed­ding film — Paul Weller pro­vides the roman­tic sound­track by the way — and watch out for that first view of the mag­nif­i­cent ceil­ing* inside Thorn­ton Manor. You’ll also be impressed, I think, by Vic­to­ria and David’s six tier wed­ding cake. Yes — six tiers! Wow…  Read more…

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.

A beautiful, classy Cheshire wedding — blog one

Posted on September 28, 2011 by Claire

I wish two things. I wish it was still sum­mer, and I wish I could step into this wed­ding blog fea­ture and be a part of Andrea and Richard’s wed­ding day. This is a beau­ti­ful cel­e­bra­tion, with a very dis­tinc­tive and classy look to it. Andrea’s a stun­ning bride and her dress is just per­fect — and quite dif­fer­ent to any I’ve seen recently.

real wedding blog UK images by cg weddings (1)Andrea and Richard were mar­ried in Lower Peover, Cheshire, in July this year. Despite the rain, the pho­tographs from the wed­ding are so full of hap­pi­ness and brim­ming with emo­tion. Liam Craw­ley of cgwed­dings was their wed­ding pho­tog­ra­pher, and together with his wife and part­ner Bee has cre­ated this beau­ti­ful col­lec­tion of images which they’re shar­ing with Eng­lish Wed­ding blog read­ers today.  Read more…

Styal Lodge real wedding blogCome and join me for this enchant­ing wed­ding at one of Cheshire’s most lux­u­ri­ous wed­ding venues. Built espe­cially for wed­dings, Styal Lodge is a pretty cool place — and Char­lotte and James’s wed­ding shows off all its best bits!

English Wedding best of 2010: real weddings

Posted on December 28, 2010 by Claire

In the spirit of the fes­tive sea­son and in the best tra­di­tion of tele­vi­sion and radio over Christ­mas and New Year, I’m going to be writ­ing a lit­tle “best of” series of blog posts over the next few days for you. These will be my favourites from the year, and will show you what the Eng­lish Wed­ding blog is all about.

Owls at weddings?

Posted on September 3, 2010 by Claire
owl at a wedding

Every­one should have a wed­ding owl.

Yes. Owls at wed­dings. Every­one should have owls at wed­dings. Per­haps in the spirit of my wed­ding pri­or­ity list pub­lished a few days ago I could say they were ‘optional extras’ or ‘lux­ury items’, even ‘fan­ci­ful’… but after see­ing this, I’d invite an owl before my uncle Barry.*

This gor­geous wed­ding blog fea­ture has two pur­poses:
1. To show off more out of this world wed­ding pho­tog­ra­phy by the rather mas­ter­ful Chris Han­ley Pho­tog­ra­phy and make my blog look amaz­ing!
2. To let us all bask in pure lux­ury, enjoy and admire images of a wed­ding that is stun­ningly beau­ti­ful, and to share in that lifestyle for a moment or two.  Read more…

A very English wedding

Posted on August 30, 2010 by Claire

There’s no other way to describe this wed­ding day, a lovely coun­try­side wed­ding cel­e­bra­tion with pretty colours, a princess bride and tall, dark, hand­some groom. Prema and Andy were mar­ried on the 14th of August in a beau­ti­ful lit­tle Cheshire vil­lage called Thorn­ton Hough. They were mar­ried at All Saints Church, and the wed­ding recep­tion was held at Andy’s par­ents’ house.

Pho­tog­ra­phy was by Vic­to­ria Phipps. I love how she cap­tured some of the very best moments… see Andy wait­ing at the altar, and the lovely pho­tos of Prema with her dad. There are also some cheeky pho­tos in here which made me gig­gle. I hope you love them too!  Read more…
