Cherry blossom and glorious gardens for this stunning Middleton Lodge wedding – an absolute beauty. Leigh and George used artificial flowers for colourful tables, bridesmaids wore vibrant pink – this entire day sings of celebration, and it’s utterly fabulous.

“I love spring and knew there would be lots of flowers in the garden and I really wanted a bright bold colour theme, hence the bright bouquets and bright pink dresses! I wanted to show our personalities in colour and make a really fun bright atmosphere.” ~ Leigh

This Friday, I thought a short but thoughtful blog post would be lovely. I was contacted by a media agency about ‘quiet proposals’ – a rising trend where couples are shopping together for engagement rings, rather than keeping the ring a secret and planning a super romantic, surprise proposal. This got me thinking: taking this first step together as a couple could lead to more and more of us planning our weddings together – and that would be a wonderful thing, don’t you think?

There’s a moment in every wedding day — a soft hush just before the bride walks down the aisle — when time seems to pause. In that precious breath, the back of her gown becomes a canvas for storytelling. At Emma Rose Jewellery, we believe the back deserves just as much love as the front. And so, with hearts full of romance and hands guided by artistry, we introduce our newest collection: Back Drape and Back Drop Necklaces, designed to enchant and captivate.
I love adventurous people, and couples who trust in their suppliers to create something wonderful. Richard and Kyra are both – and their Northamptonshire wedding is all the more beautiful for it. The super lovely couple chose Dodmoor House wedding photographers Sky Photography to capture their day – and it’s amazing. I’ve adored scrolling through every image, and I’ve saved some of my faves to share on instagram later too!
As I write up this gorgeous styled wedding for you today, I’m humming “Black Tie“. Having spent Friday evening watching the incredible left-wing, butch lesbian protest folk singer Grace Petrie in Gateshead, this joyful LGBTQ+ wedding inspiration couldn’t feel more perfect to share with you today.
