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!
If you thought hiring a wedding venue was complicated, opting for a marquee takes it to the next level! Can a wedding marquee really save you money, and with all the extras you’ll need, is it worth it? In this blog we’ll explain the basic costs for hiring a wedding marquee, as well as the hidden extras to consider so you can work out the real cost of a marquee for your big day. With thanks to luxury marquee company Peacock and Bow for getting in touch to share their blog: how much does a marquee wedding cost.
Sara & Tom’s wedding is one of the loveliest I’ve ever seen – with exceptional images by Cambridge & Suffolk wedding photographer Damien Vickers, and wonderfully elegant creative styling. The time this gorgeous couple put in to sharing their story, supplier recommendations and reviews has made me incredibly happy and proud of English Wedding. In the 15 years this blog has been sharing real weddings, I don’t think I’ve ever felt the way I do now after reading what this pair had to say about all of their suppliers. Their words are heartfelt, which perfectly fits the thoughtfully curated tone and style of their wedding. The little details of their day include so many considerate and welcoming touches for guests. The location and how special the space is for this gorgeous couple is really inspiring – and it all looks amazing.
For those of you planning an outdoor wedding, we present the most beautiful Sperry Tent as the modern alternative to a classic marquee. The light and airy florals give this wedding styled photoshoot a summery vibe, and our gorgeous models Shriya and her partner bring it all to life. Huge thanks to lovely Martina from Wonderful Events who sent this in, and to the entire team for creating something SO beautiful.
There’s a lot of pressure to have your Best Day Ever on the day you get married. And weirdly, the machine that is the wedding media would have you believe that your Best Day Ever depends on the stuff you buy to make it pretty.
Here’s the absolute proof that your wedding day will be amazing because of who you are, and what you say and do, and who you invite, and how the day FEELS, over and above how it looks.
