I had an email the other week from a lovely person called Adele, who’s recently launched her business hiring out sustainable wedding games.

Two people playing a game of outdoor Jenga

The idea came up when she looked back on her childhood. “On a Sunday evening we would all get together as a family at my grandparents’ house and play games such as dominoes and tops & tails. When you are attending big events like weddings, it can be quite daunting for some children and adults but the games can provide a really relaxed atmosphere. You can’t just buy these either so it inspired me to look at other games and think how can we make them bigger and more sustainable which is really important to me.

A wedding vision based on Dior, from one of our fave UK wedding planners Tania Russell Weddings. This inspiration shoot is dreamy, bold and sensual with stunning decor and glorious styling touches. We love it because Kristina and Basil have that mischievous vibe that still brings ALL the joy!

Tania told us, “I wanted to bring glamour, fashion and something sexy to the theme.

The shoot was based at the stunning luxury venue Alexander House & Utopia Spa in the West Sussex countryside.

To start your week on what’s a drizzly day in the Lake District… we bring you a wonderful, elegant photoshoot from beautiful Buckinghamshire. Huge thanks to lovely Chloe Bolam and the amazing team who created this stunning wedding setup in such an iconic venue! And of course, it is wonderful to see an absolutely breathtaking bride with curves, glowing and absolutely gorgeous with her man – I’m proud to be sharing this with you today. I hope you love it too!

Last month I invited a handful of wedding venues to join English Wedding, and discovering these little gems has been wonderful!

The Orchard at Munsley

are holding a Tipi Launch Weekend on Friday 5th May 4-7pm and Saturday 6th May 11am-2pm.

If you’re in Herefordshire, Gloucestershire or Worcestershire and looking for a charming wedding venue for your outdoor wedding, this spot looks amazing!

This styled photoshoot is a dream to share with you! It’s a lovely reminder for me of all the fabulous creatives who work so hard together to bring weddings to life, and was submitted by lovely Cambridgeshire makeup artist Becky at Legendary Makeup. I was so pleased to see English Wedding member Amber’s Bakes and Cakes in the list of suppliers – Amber’s cakes are just stunning (more wedding cake goodness here!)

There’s a full supplier list below.

Becky has done a lovely write up of this shoot, so I will leave you with her to explain the look – enjoy!
