We’ve LOVED scrolling through today’s styled shoot – it’s fun, flamboyant, creative and dramatic. If you love a little alternative wedding inspiration, you’re going to adore this!

All images are by Doodah Photography

Our models are two gorgeous burlesque performers, Carousel Hart and Lux DeLioux. (And it’s a cheeky shoot, which is so much fun!) Styling touches include elven details on the most incredible bespoke dresses, gothic lettering and Dungeons n Dragons detailing on the stationery, dragon skulls, moss and a dramatic burgundy colour palette.

Stunning Cornish sunsets and a gorgeous couple tying the knot after a long-distance relationship between northern England and the Philippines! This is the kind of love story we love to share on English Wedding. Riza is stunning; Kevin her handsome groom and the coast of Cornwall the perfect setting for their micro wedding. Congratulations to a fabulous couple, and thank you lovely Hannah Timm Photography for sharing such beautiful images with us!

Some books really do stay with you. Today I want to tell you about one of them.

This is a paid blog post (sort of), but the content is 100% genuine and from the heart. (Read my note at the end!)

I loved reading this. I’d spoken to the author and JP’s voice and gentle, considered way of talking won me over from the start.

This book is full of his personality – and unlike many “how to make a wedding speech” books, its pages are softly spoken and thoughtful. They guide you gently through how it feels to prepare and make a speech, without being in any way bossy or prescriptive.

A gorgeous summer wedding with colourful, vibrant flowers and lovely styling touches – all made by our stunning couple Hannah and Zak and their families. The venue is wonderful: a vineyard estate in North Somerset – Aldwick Estate has two beautifully converted barns and views of the rolling Mendip hills. Glorious images by Aldwick Estate wedding photographer Martin Dabek, who we’re proud to say is an English Wedding member.

Your wedding day will probably be the only the day the two of you will have where everyone you love is all together, so enjoy it as much as you can and don’t worry about anything, and that’s what we did, and we had the best day of our lives.

I do love a winter wedding. Seeing how couples incorporate lights and candles, and the bare branches and evergreen foliage we celebrate through the darker months – it makes weddings a little more special with all those wonderful styling touches. And then, of course, there’s the opportunity for incredible lighting in your photos.
