Based on internet searches, elopements are still really popular with UK couples. I’m thrilled that this ‘trend’ continues: it’s a gorgeous and creative way to begin your marriage with a big adventure!
According to a survey by Ginger Ray:
A third of British couples (32%) highlighted financial reasons for eloping
77% of those planning to elope are opting to tie the knot within the UK, not abroad
Wales ranked as the top choice for a UK elopement

This BEAUTY of a shoot landed in my inbox this morning. I’d been planning to write about my calligraphy for weddings today, but all the lush greenery and the connection between Rae and Grey just blew me away. I couldn’t wait to share this! If houseplants are your thing, and the thought of bringing nature inside for your big day sounds amazing, you will LOVE this styled photoshoot!
The amazing wedding suppliers who brought this photoshoot to life include lovely Mercedes from 4YaParty Weddings & Events and Eastbourne’s fabulous Thorn & Found Photography.
We thought we’d bring you a little sparkle to start off the weekend! This glittery styled photoshoot comes from a lovely group of wedding suppliers at Sandon Manor who’ve poured their hearts and souls into every little detail. Featuring a model bride and bridesmaid, the shoot is fun, fabulous and feisty and we love it!

Our Inspiration came from a sh*t tonne of sequins with pastel rainbow hues by the wonderful Lauren at Victoria + Claire. The shoot evolved to not only to include nontraditional vibes but to also include a super fun bridal party scene with a …bubble machine….. what’s not to love?
A super sophisticated Manor House wedding with bridesmaids in black and the most incredible chandeliers! This beauty of a day was sent in by Yorkshire wedding photographer Joss Denham. Groom and bride Adam and Jessica call him a wizard – “He is a master at what he does and as a result, the outcome is unbelievable.”
I’m blown away by how beautiful Jessica and Adam’s wedding is. The flowers are stunning; the couple’s outfits are gorgeous and they both look amazing. Jessica wears a Halfpenny wedding dress from The White Closet. And the candles lining the wedding tables in Manor House Lindley‘s Coach House create the most enchanting atmosphere!
