When I wrote about wedding trends for 2025, I hope it came across really strongly that authenticity is everything. Or, as award-winning photographers York Place Studios put it, any “spontaneous shenanigans” should absolutely be captured on camera! That’s how you’ll be able to really relive your wedding, rather than just remembering it through the images and videos captured by your wedding photography team.

If you’re newly engaged, a nearlywed or partway through wedding planning, welcome! English Wedding is a space for everyone in love, planning a wedding or celebration of their commitment. We see things a little differently here. The wedding media can be a virtual circus of inspiration and ideas – a visual feast for the eyes. That’s quite a fabulous thing. But there’s pressure online for weddings to be a certain way, to be aesthetically awesome and to follow trends.
Today’s blog is inspired by luxury wedding planner Elegante by Michelle J. Having worked with some of the UK and Europe’s best wedding florists to style stunning weddings, Michelle shared her expert and insider tips on choosing a wedding florist on her blog. I loved the advice she gave, and wanted to share it with you!

Your wedding day is a moment to shine, and every detail matters—from the gown to your jewellery. Earrings, in particular, frame your face and add that perfect finishing touch to your bridal look. But how do you choose the right pair to complement your dress? Here’s a guide to help you make the perfect choice.
1. Consider Your Wedding Dress Style
- Classic Ball Gown: A timeless style calls for elegant and sophisticated earrings. Think pearl drops or crystal studs to maintain a refined look.
