If you missed our playful, inventive and blow-your-mind-beautiful Narnia inspired photoshoot the other day, you’ll want to check it out here…

I had a little chat to videographer Mike Savory on insta and we thought it would be fabulous to share the film of the shoot with you as well. The movement is simply enchanting: the delicate snowflakes and smoke take this to another level… it’s pure wedding fantasy, beautifully done, and I hope you love it to BITS!!“english

Hello
I’m Sarah. I specialise in designing and creating beautiful custom-made engagement and wedding jewellery.

A romantic at heart

I’ve always been a romantic. For me, creativity and relationships are all part of the same thing. As a two-year-old watching my grampa paint, I couldn’t wait to pick up a brush — just a few years later we were painting portraits side-by-side. Beading pieces of my Nan’s broken jewellery was another passion. I don’t know what I loved more — spending time together or being creative — but to this day, the warm feeling I get when creating a sentimental piece inspires me.

I LOVE this. I love it to bits in a playful, gloriously decadent and creative way. It’s wedding styling taken way beyond ordinary; it’s brilliantly fun; it’s all snowy and beautiful and full of joy – and I can imagine the insanely talented bunch of wedding creatives who put this together had the most amazing day ever. Prepare to let your imagination run wild… we’re joining lovely Jo and Hannah from One Curious Dream and heading through our virtual wardrobes right into Narnia…

The moments of joy that happened in 2020 feel more significant than ever before. Those rare weddings where couples got to say their vows, the celebrations of love amongst the tragedy of the pandemic… these feel sweeter than ever, and so beautiful. Meredith and Charlie’s wedding had only 15 guests, with loved ones tuning in via zoom from all over the world. They married at Priston Mill in Bath, and chose Somerset wedding photographer Martin Dabek to capture their day. The images are outstanding, and Martin gets a glowing review from the happy couple below! This stunning pair worked with some fabulous wedding suppliers, all mentioned in their interview especially for English Wedding.

Have you received an invitation to a Jewish wedding? If so, it’s likely you have questions and would like to know more about what to expect.

We invited a specialist Jewish wedding planner, and English Wedding Blog member, lovely Michelle Jacobs of Elegante by Michelle J to take us through the key elements of a typical Jewish wedding. All of the beautiful images we’ve included are by Italian Luxury wedding photographer David Bastianoni.

1. Day of Week

Jewish weddings most commonly take place on Sundays. Never on a Saturday and rarely on a Friday as the Jewish Sabbath (when weddings are not permitted) runs from sunset on Friday to sunset on Saturday.
