I’m often sent guest blogs full of alleged regrets, mistakes and ‘things we’d do differently‘ – but I’d never publish anything so glum and disheartening! Wedding planning should be a pleasure, and my aim at English Wedding is to help you enjoy the journey. So this morning I’ve grabbed one of those regretful press releases, given it a good shake upside down and come out with some cheerful and genuinely useful tips to help plan your weddings!
There’s probably a thousand things I don’t know about flying with a wedding dress, but these feel absolutely essential to share. Lovely Michelle from Elegante by Michelle J has kindly allowed me to share these tips with you. Michelle’s a destination wedding planning expert specialising in Italian weddings, and a sought after luxury UK wedding planner. She’s also – and I’m so proud to say this – a member of English Wedding.

Every year, I’m sent a list of the most instagrammable wedding venues in the UK, and I have to be honest about how this makes me feel. Choosing your wedding venue shouldn’t mean playing along to a social media popularity contest. So Blenheim Palace has most hashtags… it’s certainly not every couple’s cup of tea! While it’s nice to see the likes of stunning Tunnels Beaches and beautiful Askham Hall on the list, I take these rankings with a massive pinch of salt and a hearty dose of scepticism.
Sara & Tom’s wedding is one of the loveliest I’ve ever seen – with exceptional images by Cambridge & Suffolk wedding photographer Damien Vickers, and wonderfully elegant creative styling. The time this gorgeous couple put in to sharing their story, supplier recommendations and reviews has made me incredibly happy and proud of English Wedding. In the 15 years this blog has been sharing real weddings, I don’t think I’ve ever felt the way I do now after reading what this pair had to say about all of their suppliers. Their words are heartfelt, which perfectly fits the thoughtfully curated tone and style of their wedding. The little details of their day include so many considerate and welcoming touches for guests. The location and how special the space is for this gorgeous couple is really inspiring – and it all looks amazing.
Today’s wedding features the most stunning bride in a sparkly dress, as Trang marries her love Kurtis. The couple’s love bursts from the screen in the sweetest glances and moments. Trang and Kurtis filled Cripps Barn with the most incredible florals by The Wilde Bunch, and the day is captured in breathtaking images by English Wedding member Barb Asboth Photography.

It was really special when we got the photos & were able to relive everything, including things guests were doing while we were preoccupied. All the big moments were captured brilliantly and will be a lovely representation of what our wedding was for decades to come.
