A guest post for English-Wedding.com from Bespoke Diamonds


When a newly engaged couple visits Bespoke Diamonds for wedding bands, the first question they ask is: “How do we make sure the two rings actually work together?

A well-paired set looks seamless in photographs, feels comfortable in daily life, and—most importantly—tells one cohesive love-story on your hand. Follow the five design pillars below and your engagement ring and wedding band will complement each other perfectly for decades to come.

A gorgeous, joyful and modern wedding from Leeds city centre. I adore this: Ben’s suit to brighten up a January morning, Claire’s stunning bridal look with glasses – she’s absolutely beautiful. The city-hopping flavour of the day, with post-wedding coffee and cake before moving onto an evening reception for a tasting menu – it’s all just wonderful. The images by English Wedding member and Yorkshire wedding photographer David Lindsley take in iconic sights of the city – capturing unforgettable memories of an epic, memorable, and personality-filled wedding.

If you don’t need a photo of your bridesmaids all lined up, this is for you. If you’re a little lost in wedding photography choices and just want gorgeous photos that are utterly real, this is for you. If you want to immerse yourselves in every second of your wedding day, and not have to worry about posing for photos,  you’ve come to exactly the right place.

Clapton Country Club wedding

We’ve got a brilliant collection of images from Aoife and Rory’s Clapton Country Club wedding to share with you. But they’re different from many images you’ll see on wedding blogs and in magazines. They’re so full of life, vibrant and authentic. They’re by some of the very best documentary wedding photographers in the world: London-based York Place Studios.

I think sometimes planning a wedding must feel a little like organising Glastonbury. Only, most couples have no experience in event planning, and you’re a team of two, not hundreds. You might not be inviting tens of thousands of guests – but you’re trying to give the most important people in the world an amazing experience and a day to remember. The pressure to have the ‘perfect’ wedding can be too much – and planning anxiety is something the wedding media should talk about seriously.

Loads of couples are nervous about their wedding photography experience. If I could share one tip with every person reading this blog it would be to do everything you can to keep on top of your stress levels in the run up to your wedding day. One thing I hear all the time is nerves and worries around wedding photography – you might feel like you’re not photogenic, or you’re awkward in front of the camera, or that you’ll feel silly posing for pictures on your wedding day. None of those things need to be true, and you can crush pre wedding photography nerves by having an engagement photo session.
