Imagine finding an ethical, artisan-made wedding dress and having it made to your exact measurements – for less than £1,000. We’re so often led to believe that we have to spend thousands for a designer dress, and even more for one that’s ethically made and sustainable, but a little detective work in the right places can uncover the most incredible modern wedding dresses.
Guess what? I have something wonderful to show you.

10am and it’s been an interesting morning here already. In my inbox, a survey of brides with statistics on weight loss. And this always makes me uncomfortable. I’ve always felt strongly that this kind of messaging is WRONG. We’re put under so much pressure to be a certain shape and size – and why? Because somewhere out there, an extremely rich guy in a suit is making money from everyone who wants to lose weight.
First time planning a wedding? Yep – pretty much everyone’s working all this out as they go along, so you’re absolutely not alone! Diving into a world of catering and styling, planning and logistics can be insane – but keeping on top of your plans will stop the overwhelm. Having a great relationship with your suppliers is really important, and communication is everything. Here’s how to talk to your wedding suppliers – from jargon to problem-solving, budgets and more.
There’s something undeniably magical about a winter wedding, the crisp air, frosted landscapes and that quiet sense of romance that seems to hang in the stillness of the season. If you’re dreaming of a winter celebration that feels both elegant and ethereal a baby blue wedding theme might be your perfect match. Soft, serene and effortlessly romantic, this delicate hue captures the essence of winter skies and icy elegance — while bringing a touch of “something blue” to your day.
Right on the home page of English Wedding you’ll see “This website is for everyone. It’s about love.” Sharing love stories of every kind brings so much joy to our screens, and while it’s been a little while since we’ve shared a proposal story, Jacob and Sneha’s is incredibly special. I will admit, as I did to their photographer Priti Shikotra on a quick email yesterday, that the way Jacob described the moment was so romantic it made me cry. And I’ve been writing about weddings for sixteen years! Over to Jacob who was kind enough to share their story, with those breathtaking images from Manchester wedding photographer Priti Shikotra. This is utterly gorgeous in every possible way. Enjoy!
