When it comes to bridal style, some trends may come and go but pearls remain an eternal symbol of elegance and romance. From dainty pearl studs to statement necklaces, pearl bridal jewellery has been adored by brides for centuries. At Emma Rose Jewellery we celebrate the timeless beauty of pearls by creating designs that feel both classic and modern – perfect for brides who dream of a look that will never go out of style.

Let’s begin this week with some beautiful styling inspiration from the heart of France’s Champagne region, shall we? I’m proud to share styled photoshoots with inspiration for couples, so you can discover wedding suppliers’ creativity and get ideas for your own wedding look. As always, I want to be super clear that this is a photoshoot, not a wedding – the aesthetic designed with heart and soul, to showcase the work of some incredibly talented artisans working in the wedding sphere.
Images are by photographer Arnaud Gratia, and the photoshoot was curated by lovely Meggan, wedding planner at D Day Wedding Planner Champagne-Ardenne.
In the last 15 years of English Wedding I’ve watched – happily – as celebrant-led weddings have grown in popularity. More and more couples choose independent and humanist celebrants over council registrars for their weddings every year. This shift in ceremony styles goes hand in hand with the rise in really personal and unique weddings, and I think it’s wonderful. If you’ve only just started planning your wedding, and you’re not sure which kind of celebrant to choose for your wedding, I’m here to explain the differences in really simple terms to help you decide.
I loved Anna and Ali’s wedding as soon as I laid eyes on their images. This is everything a wedding needs to be, nothing more or less: a lovely couple surrounded by their best people, and a heartfelt celebration filled with love. Images by Newcastle wedding photographer Joss Denham are relaxed, natural and utterly perfect. Styling was kept understated, yet beautiful, with white and pink blush for the flowers. And the advice Anna and Ali share for other couples resonates with many of our recent posts here on the blog and on our instagram:

Taking a little inspiration from an instagram comment that sparked joy for me last week! Thank you @hannahhallphotography for making me smile. So yeah, wedding blogs were MASSIVE back in the day – and then social media exploded, and apps like Bridebook launched, and everything changed. Mainstream wedding magazines collapsed (goodbye Wedding Ideas mag) and niche content or trending stories meant everything. But while everything “out there” changed, wedding blogs are still massively relevant for photographers, suppliers and nearlywed couples (even if you’ve forgotten us a little bit), and I want to tell you why.
