I’m often sent guest blogs full of alleged regrets, mistakes and ‘things we’d do differently‘ – but I’d never publish anything so glum and disheartening! Wedding planning should be a pleasure, and my aim at English Wedding is to help you enjoy the journey. So this morning I’ve grabbed one of those regretful press releases, given it a good shake upside down and come out with some cheerful and genuinely useful tips to help plan your weddings!
There’s probably a thousand things I don’t know about flying with a wedding dress, but these feel absolutely essential to share. Lovely Michelle from Elegante by Michelle J has kindly allowed me to share these tips with you. Michelle’s a destination wedding planning expert specialising in Italian weddings, and a sought after luxury UK wedding planner. She’s also – and I’m so proud to say this – a member of English Wedding.

Every year, I’m sent a list of the most instagrammable wedding venues in the UK, and I have to be honest about how this makes me feel. Choosing your wedding venue shouldn’t mean playing along to a social media popularity contest. So Blenheim Palace has most hashtags… it’s certainly not every couple’s cup of tea! While it’s nice to see the likes of stunning Tunnels Beaches and beautiful Askham Hall on the list, I take these rankings with a massive pinch of salt and a hearty dose of scepticism.
We love seeing happy pooches at weddings, and it made us wonder how many dogs are heading off on UK honeymoons too! If your doggo is a big part of your life and you can’t bear to be away from each other after your wedding, here’s our essential guide to taking them on honeymoon with you!
As more Brits include their furry friends in significant life events like weddings, this trend is beginning to extend beyond the big day – many couples are now choosing to bring their dogs along on their honeymoons as well.
The UK has some stunning destinations for a wedding weekend away from home. The Lakes, the Highlands and the Cotswolds are personal favourites for me. Having a destination wedding will make your wedding an unforgettable occasion for you and your guests, while a holiday on home soil saves on air miles and the carbon footprint of your wedding. Today on English Wedding, talented wedding planner Mel from Your Story Events shares her very best tips to help you find the perfect Cotswold wedding venue for you.
