A fresh approach to wedding blogs for 2026

The UK wedding industry is beautifully built on collaboration over competition. English Wedding’s goal as a wedding blog is to reflect how the industry feels for couples and suppliers. Since 2009, we’ve published real weddings alongside thoughtful, expert advice and inspiration, supporting independent UK wedding businesses with guest blogging, getting published and building trust. Here’s our content especially for wedding suppliers.

We publish advice and inspiration:

• Wedding planning advice articles by UK experts
• Supportive guides and articles for wedding business owners
• Real weddings with genuine supplier reviews from couples
• Wedding business stories showing the human side of the industry
• Styled photoshoots to showcase talented local suppliers and creative inspiration

Honest wedding planning advice written for you by the UK’s kindest experts

Our advice and articles for couples offer a calmer approach to planning your wedding. (No ‘should have’s, no expectations and more empathy!) With regular updates from our English Wedding members, all wedding experts in their fields.

Supportive guides and articles for wedding business owners

Useful PDF guides to help with marketing a wedding business, and feature articles for suppliers about navigating work life balance, discoverability away from social media, and how blogging and getting published are key for long term visibility.

Supplier membership of English Wedding

The English Wedding membership platform was designed to benefit wedding suppliers, allowing you to build trust and support your wedding website and blog with published articles on this website too.

Consistent discoverability is key to SEO in 2026, as well as aligning the content you share online with Google’s Experience, Expertise, Authority and Trust framework. This is foundational for English Wedding and the way this platform is designed to help your wedding business.

Featured articles for wedding vendors

If you have some time for a deep dive into wedding industry-specific SEO right now, you could start here:

Build and grow visibility online

How wedding suppliers can build a steady and strong resource – centred around their own, owned websites, elevating trust and ensuring discovery online. With easy and accessible strategies to help wedding business owners with blogging, backlinks and editorial features to reach the right clients at the right time, away from the frantic hustle of social media.

Choosing all the right places to appear online

The UK wedding industry is a space where collaboration has blossomed and suppliers support each other in the most amazing way. Any strategy for how a wedding business appears online should have roots in how our industry functions. Being listed on every wedding directory going will never work: success comes from being included as a genuine contributor on the right wedding websites. This article explains how to make it work for you.

Building trust and confidence in your wedding business

The wedding industry is not a marketing machine. Couples are looking for vendors they trust and feel safe with. Building visibility calmly, thoughtfully and with intention will help you reach couples in a way that gracefully builds trust in your brand.

Staying true to yourself while marketing a wedding business

For busy wedding suppliers the expectation to keep up with social media is relentless. Showing your face, even performing – adds even more pressure, especially to introverts and those of us who are naturally quieter. There’s another, quieter way to have visible wedding businesses without pretending we’re someone else. This is it.

The English Wedding directory is for couples to find trusted suppliers

Our curated directory of UK wedding suppliers showcases amazing wedding photographers, celebrants, planners and stylists, cake designers and florists, wedding wear and much more. Unlike some directory websites, every supplier is added by a human being – Claire, the editor of English Wedding. This adds a layer of protection for you, so you know I’ve checked every vendor is genuine.

On our wedding website there are no rules, no ‘should haves’, no hard sells. English Wedding exists to inspire you, to help you plan and to support you in every way we can with advice and ideas from the very best UK wedding experts.

At our core:

• diversity
• inclusivity
• sustainability
• mental health
• kindness
• love

We know not all weddings have a bride, so our help and advice is written with all couples in mind. We include as many cultures and faiths as we can, and welcome submissions from wedding experts of all backgrounds.

We don’t believe in checklists, because by their very nature they include ‘should haves’ – the suggestion that you should hire a venue, buy a new outfit and fill your space with flowers. (All of these are optional, by the way! Yes – even the venue.)

We’re deeply suspicious of ‘average wedding budgets’ published by the wedding media, which can never reflect the wealth and diversity of all wedding types and styles. We don’t believe ‘average budgets’ are true, and at best they’re misleading: at worst they encourage overspending and create pressure to spend.

We believe with all our hearts that your wedding or celebration should be YOU – which could mean a quiet celebration for just the two of you on top of a mountain or a gorgeously fun family day in your favourite pub garden.

And has any ‘wedding blog’ ever mentioned that you don’t have to have a wedding? Because really, being in love and being together is huge. It’s fine to step back and say “we’re happy as we are” if a wedding doesn’t feel right for you.

However you choose to celebrate your love, you should enjoy the adventure.
