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.

How to gradually build content for your wedding business that builds experience, expertise, authority and trust over time

Apologies! – that title’s a bit of a mouthful, but the exact words were important for me to include. For any wedding business to reach couples online, a website and social media need to be part of a wider ecosystem. Sharing fresh content can be done calmly and strategically, allowing Read more

Why your venue probably asks for biodegradable confetti (and why that’s actually the best news!)

You’ve found your dream venue, booked an amazing photographer, and you are well into the wonderful world of wedding planning. Then you read your venue’s small print: “biodegradable confetti only, please.” If your first reaction was a mild flicker of confusion, or a quick Google of “what even is biodegradable Read more
