Happy Friday everyone! Today’s wedding is pure celebration, with music at its heart. Gorgeous couple Joanna & Jack are both musicians, and played with their band at different points during their wedding day. We’ve LOVED reading their reviews for some of their favourite Hampshire wedding suppliers, especially for our friend and English Wedding member Nathan at Libra Photographic. This is an EPIC wedding we’ll be sharing all weekend on our instagram, so do pop over there and give us a follow! Grab a cuppa for this beauty of a wedding, and enjoy the images and our couple’s lovely words.

A big hello to all the lovely wedding suppliers and creatives out there! This month we’re giving our wedding supplier directory a revamp, and welcoming some amazing new folks to our pages!

This morning I wanted to say a warm welcome to acoustic wedding singer Matthew Stephens. Matthew provides music for your entire day, from the ceremony through to the evening party.

He’s based in Yorkshire and regularly travels to weddings in Manchester, Liverpool, Cheshire, Lancashire, Derbyshire, Lincolnshire, Nottingham, The Lake District and more.

Allow us to introduce a rather special little sausage dog this morning! Little Peggy was guest of honour at Megan & Cameron’s York wedding, and she is adorable! This is one of those amazing weddings we invite you to scroll through super slowly. It’s from documentary wedding photographers York Place Studios, whose style is for us the pinnacle of natural wedding photography.

Previously based in York, and now travelling throughout the UK from their base in London, York Place Studios capture the story of a wedding in the most authentic way. Looking through the images of Megan and Cameron’s day, it feels as though you were there.

Here’s a little something magical to take you through the weekend! Gorgeous couple Kate and James were wed at Baddow Park House – a wonderful place we’ve never featured before – and chose super talented Damien Vickers Photography to capture their day. The couple contrasted timelessly elegant styling with a relaxed, natural photography style – and everything looks just perfect! The details are stunning and the atmosphere sparkles… we’re in LOVE! Keep reading for some knock-your-socks-off wedding supplier reviews and scroll for ALL our fave images from their day.

Are you feeling overwhelmed planning your wedding? You’re not alone, it’s more common than you think.  There’s so much to oversee in the run-up to the big day that most couples feel some stress and anxiety through their wedding planning process. 

According to Google search analysis, many more couples are looking to reduce the time it takes to plan a wedding. Since the beginning of 2022, we’ve seen average monthly searches for ‘planning a wedding in six months’ more than triple.
