Claire Gould

Hi, I'm Claire, the editor of English Wedding. I've been sharing real weddings, planning advice and styled editorials by amazing wedding suppliers for more than ten years. As a supplier myself, I launched English Wedding as a platform for UK wedding businesses to stay visible online, publishing their beautiful work in a meaningful way - because I see how deeply suppliers care about everything they do. English Wedding has evolved to support a slower, more sustainable kind of visibility for wedding suppliers. Being published here protects your brand voice while helping couples discover your business, building trust through consistent features over time. I've also worked as a calligrapher since 2005, specialising in weddings and handwritten poems, readings and gifts. You can find my calligraphy work at By Moon & Tide.

Advice

Pinch a fistful of salt – they’ve updated the ‘average wedding budget’ stats again. What to ignore and why.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if, instead of announcing a big ‘average’ wedding spend, the companies behind the research told us the lowest and highest amounts couples had spent on weddings in the previous year. No pressure, no ulterior motives – and I think it would be genuinely interesting! Since day Read more

Advice

On grooms’ style, mood boards, and behind the scenes conversations!

Grooms’ stories are important. I love watching how couples respond to the events of a wedding day – and I don’t know what it is about grooms that means they so often wear their hearts on their sleeves. Pre-ceremony nerves can be so clear to see in photos – and Read more
