The average wedding emits the same amount of CO2 as 4-5 people would in an entire year. If you add to that the hundreds of pounds of waste produced, to say that most weddings are not eco-friendly is an understatement.
Luckily, there are ways to keep the carbon emissions and waste from your wedding at a bare minimum. If you follow these tips for an (almost) zero-waste wedding, you can get married in style without harming the planet.
We’ve been the busiest little bees behind the scenes here at English Wedding HQ!
We’ve changed our membership model and our focus for 2022, as well as giving the entire website a lovely little spring clean to make it look extra beautiful for your eyes. You’re welcome!

Here’s what’s new…
Our home page has had a revamp and is looking fresh, foxy and full of new things!
We’ve tweaked the entire focus of English Wedding – rather than simply sharing real weddings and inspiration, we’re focusing on sustainable weddings and maintaining mental health while planning. Watch this space!
The English Wedding Blog is growing every single day: we’ve featured weddings and styled shoots from so many new photographers and our inbox is constantly bursting with amazingness… so I thought I’d write a little note to all of you fabulous wedding photographers who are yet to get published here. I so hope you’ll be in touch soon!
Know your wedding blogs!

How did you choose your photographer?
We interviewed a few photographers. Jaye really understood our vision, and she was able to do make up as well which meant less contractors during very uncertain covid times.
Submitted by our lovely friend and English Wedding member Amanda Karen Photography, this gorgeous London wedding inspo is the perfect way to welcome in the New Year. With lush reds and modern florals, the styling is fabulous. You’ll find lots of ideas in here to inspire your own weddings – perhaps the red colour palette, the lilies or the painted cake will steal your heart?

Model couple Syanne and Kyro are absolutely stunning with this perfectly modern, elegant and stylish London wedding blog!
