Strikingly beautiful floristry can elevate a wedding more than anything else. Sweeping, statement floral displays will wow your guests and look sensational in your wedding album. For a stately home wedding, it’s essential to choose flowers and arrangements to do more than just complement the space: they should take inspiration from your venue’s aesthetic and bring your wedding vision to life in the most beautiful way. To create unforgettable installations, work with an experienced designer who specialises in flowers for stately home weddings. I had the loveliest chat with luxury wedding florist Jemma Khan, whose advice for couples is golden.
I think the UK has had the sunniest summer in a long time – it’s been pretty perfect, and I can’t complain as autumn whooshes in. I’m embracing the time to reflect on a busy summer, and excited to share some gorgeous sunny weddings from the last few months (tap here to submit a wedding). I was chatting to Anna, a wedding photographer in Hampshire (Anna Rainbow Photography) who specialises in marquee weddings, and we’ve put together this little blog to help anyone out there planning a marquee wedding. Of course, we’re sharing lots of Anna’s gorgeous images too! So here’s our best 10 marquee wedding tips, inspired by Anna’s own advice on her website. I hope you find them useful!

In the same list, London, Paris and Tokyo are risky bets (for an outdoor wedding at least) – but I’m not ready to write them off as wedding destinations just yet – and I’ll tell you why.
As a wedding blogger I’m sensing a real subcurrent in wedding media right now – amongst all the noise and AI-fuelled extravagance on instagram, creators and suppliers are calling for authenticity and more genuine wedding content. Yes, we all love to see breathtaking florals, Taylor Swift style – but authentic and achievable wedding styling feels so much more beautiful to share. Inspired by our English Wedding members, here are ten simple, affordable ideas for bringing a little luxury into your wedding, without blowing your budget.
In the last 15 years of English Wedding I’ve watched – happily – as celebrant-led weddings have grown in popularity. More and more couples choose independent and humanist celebrants over council registrars for their weddings every year. This shift in ceremony styles goes hand in hand with the rise in really personal and unique weddings, and I think it’s wonderful. If you’ve only just started planning your wedding, and you’re not sure which kind of celebrant to choose for your wedding, I’m here to explain the differences in really simple terms to help you decide.
