Every new year, without fail, the wedding media goes crazy about wedding trends. In 2024 the UK’s top wedding planner Mark Niemierko won the entire trends conversation with an instagram story that said “2024 wedding trends: whatever the fuck my couples want“. And you know what? That’s the vibe weddings need! Following trends is fine… but a wedding that honestly reflects you is worth its weight in gold and diamonds.
I had a lovely chat with Mark towards the end of 2023. We talked about wedding trends and what weddings might look like in 2024. Mark turned the whole trend thing beautifully on its head with a new perspective: that wedding style is more important than any trend.
If this photoshoot from Sarah Brookes Photography doesn’t scream autumn then I don’t know what will! Beautiful burnt tones and oodles of luxurious velvet… it’s out of this world! Read on to find out how the talented team brought this all together, and check our instagram for supplier credits!

I’m sharing some favourite showstopper wedding cakes today! All of these beauties have been featured on English Wedding in recent months. There’s something for every couple, from city chic and modern cakes to soft and fluffy florals.

This was going to be a “10 of our favourite cakes” kinda post… but I found seventeen and couldn’t resist sharing them all!
To end the week I’m over the moon to be sharing this beautiful styled photoshoot with you. Dotted with gorgeous yellow tones and fabulous flowers and foliage, it’s chic and a little bit different from the norm.
I want to very carefully point out that this is NOT a real wedding. Wedding blogs get lots of new readers every new year, and it’s really important to explain why we publish styled shoots like this one – and what they are!
We were thrilled to learn that Chapel House Estate has been named Wedding Venue of the Year by the prestigious Beautiful South Tourism Awards. Chapel House Estate joined English Wedding in March 2023 and was only established in July 2022. They’ve had incredible success with all the hard work they put in to making this a dream wedding venue, and we’re over the moon to share their good news! Chapel House Estate won the gold award for Wedding Venue of the Year and was commended for being an ‘essential and exquisite destination wedding venue’.
