The New Year has really got me thinking this time – about what you need from your favourite wedding websites. If you’re new here – hi! I’m Claire, and it’s lovely to have you here – you are so welcome. English Wedding began in 2009, as a place where couples can find wedding photographers and suppliers who care passionately about everything they do. That will never change. As AI is changing the wedding inspiration we see online, I want to make a commitment right here to share only authentic, beautiful work of real wedding suppliers.

And so – let’s begin 2026 with something a little different. A styled elopement filled with heart and soul, with the loveliest touches from a talented wedding dressmaker and floral stylist inspired by nature and the stunning coast around them.

Images are by South west wedding photographer Charlotte Sams, whose photography style is timeless and utterly wonderful. Charlotte, thank you so much for sending this our way!

“This styled elopement features dreamy dresses and thought out florals, photographed along the romantic Cornish cliffs. The wild coastline twinned with the beautiful accessories and florals create an amazing combination to inspire anyone with ideas of eloping in Cornwall or the South West.

The flowers were a real highlight, the peachy and pastel colours popping against the blue ocean created a thought out stunning look. With two fabulous dresses and a cape, the light wind allowed for some truly beautiful images with the soft light. This collaboration shows that even a simple elopement can be gorgeous as with the right styling and effort.”
