Wait, what.... HOW is it Wednesday already?! I'm so glad this one crept up on me.... because I have an EPIC wedding to share with you today! Gorgeous Sarah and Kevin got in touch to share their day, and it's absolutely beautiful.…
Hey there beautiful! I have a gorgeous wedding to share with you today – Leanne & Charlie’s day is elegant and sophisticated, full of contemporary styling touches and with so much love and laughter you can almost taste the atmosphere. It’s a stunner – and captured brilliantly by our lovely friends, UK and destination wedding photographers MIKI Studios. Leanne is incredible in a Halfpenny dress, while Charlie looks amazing in a tailor made suit by John Lancaster at VSmono. I’m thrilled to be able to share Leanne & Charlie’s wedding video as well as their photos with you today – it’s also by MIKI Studios, who get a glowing review from the VERY happy couple!

We met Mick and Ash at our of our friend’s weddings the year before and totally fell in love with their work. It was so different, quirky and captured the essence of the day. We were pretty set of what we wanted for our big day and knew they could deliver.

You’ll never be more ready for an unforgettable holiday after the build-up to your wedding and the excitement of the big day. Let’s face it – as much as a wedding is a celebration of you as a couple, more often than not it becomes a delicate balancing act of family and friends!
But beyond the opportunity to catch your breath, a honeymoon stands for so much more.
It gives you the chance to explore your new identity as a married couple. To reflect on the life-changing commitment you’ve made and all the feelings that go with it. And perhaps most importantly, a honeymoon provides you with the opportunity to set the tone for the beginning of your marriage.
If a rush of flights and sights on a whistle-stop tour is the opposite of what you have in mind, perhaps you should consider slow travel for your honeymoon.
Good morning, lovelies. I hope you’ve had a relaxing and peaceful weekend. Today we bring you some timeless but modern wedding styling ideas from a group of talented suppliers in Hertfordshire. The look is simply perfect, with understated luxury and touches of sage green mingled with nude fabrics and gold accents. All images are by lovely Nicki at FJS Wedding Photography, and you’ll find a full list of the creatives involved below.
With love,
There is no colour scheme more classic than nude, white and sage green. The colours create a romantic, timeless look for a super luxe, elegant wedding. The elegant table styling was given a beautifully unique, modern twist, in the way of airplants within geometrics and the floating gold candles in tall glasses, by the wonderfully creative Fleur de Lace. This stunning styling was complimented by the gorgeous floral arrangements by The Flower Mill, filled with crisp white and pale blush roses and soft foliage.
A little escapism today, and inspiration for all of you lovely girls tying the knot in 2021 and 2022. These two stunning bridal collections from Anna Georgina, available from Morgan Davies Bridal and a handful of other UK boutiques, are simply out of this world.
The new PURE Collection is clean, minimal embellishments with the focus on slick silhouettes. From a sleek crepe column gown, to natural waists, sculpted necklines, and structured skirts, to the show-stopping V-neck lace open back with cathedral length train. Volume in skirts in Japanese Mikado is exaggerated with cathedral-length trains and sensational slits. The PURE Collection speaks to the regal timeless beauty that the Anna Georgina Bride is all about. These gowns are heritage pieces fit to be passed down through generations.
Since lockdown began, I’ve been constantly surprised and uplifted by the resilience of the wedding industry. As so many of you lovely couples have had to postpone, suppliers have been working hard to support your new plans, to juggle availability for 2021 bookings… and all the time facing genuine hardships (because for so many of these indie businesses, this is their livelihoods). So when a photoshoot like this one lands in my inbox it brightens my heart and reassures me: we’ll come back. We can do this. There’s a future for those fiercely creative talents working to make your weddings amazing, and a positive future shining on the horizon.
Today’s photoshoot took place when a wedding showcase couldn’t happen… and these amazing suppliers kept the day alive in their inspiring way. It’s wonderful – I hope you love the images. Thank you especially to Sally Rawlins Photography and to Louisa May Weddings, who’ll explain more.
With love,
As we head into the weekend I have one more breathtakingly beautiful wedding to share with you. Gorgeous couple Maureen & Liam tied the knot at Thornbury Castle in an elegant, sophisticated and joyful celebration with their closest family and friends.
This is such a fabulous wedding, with some truly special personal touches and brilliant recommendations for exceptional wedding suppliers. All images are by super talented Thornbury Castle Wedding Photographer Martin Dabek, one of our favourite contributors and members of the blog. Martin gets a glowing review from the happy couple, which was heartwarming to read. Huge thanks (and happy anniversary, if a day or so late!) to lovely Maureen and Liam. Have a fabulous weekend, everyone!

We reviewed a number of photographers, but it came down to the connection we felt with Martin. Speaking with him felt like speaking with a friend, and it was clear that he shared our understanding that the candid moments between friends and loved ones were the most meaningful usually. He also had a gorgeous catalogue of work that had us feeling intrigued and eager to work with him.
Happy Friday, lovelies! I hope you’re doing ok, surviving the gloomy weather and looking forward to the weekend. Today we’re sharing a stunning wedding with incredible warm sunlight, sophisticated summer vibes and the most gorgeous couple. Gemma and Rich’s day features Gatsby-esque styling throughout with copper and hexagonal accents. There’s sparkle throughout, from beautiful bride Gemma’s dress to the gorgeous bridesmaids and gold leaf accents on the cake, while the boys look dapper in sharp tuxes… until that last photo of the night, with the unicorn. 😉 It’s all captured beautifully by lovely Esme Robinson Photography.
I know you’ll love this as much as I do. Enjoy!

Esmé our photographer was recommended to us by quite a few close friends so we knew we had to choose her!
I’m over the moon to be sharing this stunning wedding with you today. Chantel is just gorgeous; Andrew is as handsome as can be… and when these two are together their love just shines!! I adore Chantel’s dress (and the nail-biting, edge-of-your-seat story behind it), the elegant and modern styling and the joy that runs through this beautiful day. Huge thanks to lovely Carla Thomas Photography, whose images are absolute perfection. She gets a fantastic review from our happy couple – and a glowing recommendation from me too! I hope you love today’s wedding as much as I do.
With love,

I met Carla at the Excel Wedding show where I was able to go through her portfolios and get a sense of her company and how she worked in general. Her work looked amazing and she made me feel at ease straight away which was a big thing for me and the deciding factor. I then went home and discussed this with Andrew who was able to get a sense of Carla’s work through the booklets and literature she had given me and he also was in agreement that her work looked great.
… and then it was July. While I adjust to it being halfway through the summer already (really, though?!) I have the dreamiest style inspiration to share with you. I do like to begin every new month with a breathtaking feature, and today’s comes from the south of France, with some insanely talented UK wedding suppliers.
The photography by my lovely friend Jo Bradbury Photography will captivate you and whisk you away to the Provençal countryside. The dresses are unmistakably Joanne Fleming – her bespoke creations are to die for. Everything sings of a perfect French summer: the olive leaf theme running through table styling to Emma Jo‘s designer stationery and Les Fleurs De Ninon‘s spectacular bouquet with wild foliage and beautiful white peonies. I’m in love with this shoot, which was first featured on Rock My Wedding and I’m thrilled to be sharing it again with you today. Welcome to July, lovelies!

What better on a blustery Monday morning than a riot of glorious colour and a beautiful wedding to share? Today we’re joining gorgeous couple Kiran and Ross who were married at Stoneleigh Abbey in Warwickshire, and who chose lovely Hannah K Photography to capture their day. Kiran’s red lengha is just stunning: beautifully embroidered and made for dancing! We love how she teamed it with two dupattas: one with stunning gold trim for the daytime, switching up to a tartan version to match Ross’s tartan for the evening do! Lovelies, I hope this stunner of a wedding brightens your day.
With love,

We did lots of online research and instagram digging! Having shortlisted 5 we telephoned each and we got the best vibe from Hannah! She made us feel so relaxed and comfortable…great as we were a little apprehensive about being in the spotlight and having so many eyes (and lenses!) on us.
