A guest blog by Cora at Revivalist Magazine


Planning a wedding today often looks a lot different than it did in the past. Every culture and time period has its own traditions, but couples don’t always have to follow them. You can modernise outdated customs to make your ceremony more personal and skip anything that doesn’t feel authentic to your relationship. There are always ways to customise the details and make the day memorable.

When you’ve been writing about weddings for over a decade, the most exciting thing is change. The subtle shifts in fashion and style, the free spirited approach to planning and styling our best days ever. I adore timeless wedding styles – minimal stationery and simple elegance. But chic, city weddings, and seeing couples do things differently, is where this wedding blogger’s heart lies.

It takes outstanding designers with imagination and talent to push the boundaries. Tanya at Mia La Vida in London strikes me as fearless and exquisitely talented. We’re super excited here at English Wedding by Mia La Vida’s newest collections (now available online – do check out the stunning Storm wedding gown and my fave Rain & Ivy bridal looks).

James and Maria’s celebration was a day filled with joy and love, a beautifully elegant London wedding with stunning styling touches. We adore Maria’s dress and the incredibly beautiful train with buttons all the way down to the hem. The florals are simple and beautiful with white roses for the bridal bouquet and romantic pinks for the venue arrangements. James and Maria are breathtaking in their wedding attire and this is such an incredible day – we hope you will love it too!

Time, consistency and authenticity – and not being afraid to say it how it is!

When was the last time any online article came up with the goods right at the start?!

I thought I’d make it easy for you – the secret to wedding business blogging is time, consistency and authenticity.

If you can stick around another couple of minutes I’ll explain why!

Making time to blog your wedding business

“I don’t have time to blog” is a major black to most wedding businesses. We are BUSY – like, crazy busy. And at certain times of the year we barely have time to blink.
