A lovely little wedding from Cragwood hotel in the Lakes, sent in by the amazing Hannah Hall Photography. Megan and Natalie are gorgeous, and their day is full of personality and love. The little details are perfect: the wedding rings and stationery are understated and elegant. And the location blows me away. What a stunning spot to get wed, on the shores of lake Windermere. Keep reading for heartfelt supplier reviews from the happy couple – not least for Lake District photographer Hannah Hall, who I’m delighted to say is a member of English Wedding.

This is part 1 of a four part advice series on blogging for wedding business owners. I hope you find it really useful!


Did you think blogging for your wedding business went out of fashion about 10 years ago? Social media wants you to believe that – but it’s not true. Spending time on your blog is a really effective way to get to the first page of Google. Ultimately, that’s how your dream couples will find you online.

This four part series will explain – in a simple, easy-to-follow way:

  1. why blogging your wedding business works

A guest blog by Catherine Morris, managing director of Tielle Love Luxury, the brand behind the linen in some of the world’s most famous hotels, and available to enjoy at home.


Wedding trends come and go, but the essence of celebrating love and commitment will never change. One way to celebrate that love is the tradition of gift giving, where, in the quest for a gift uniquely tailored to the happy couple, personalisation has boomed. But with names, initials and quirky one-liners now available on everything from kitchen utensils to candles, has personalisation had its day?

If there’s one ‘trend’ coming through weddings over the last year, it’s authenticity. You’ll find it in your styling and decor, in your outfits and most of all in your wedding photography. Having an authentic, natural wedding means being yourselves. Having every moment reflect who you really are as a couple: from choosing what you wear to creating a ‘look’ for your tables – if just one guest says, “I love it: it’s so YOU” – then you’ve nailed it. Authentic wedding photography means you get to keep that feeling forever. It’s why Sophie and Chris chose documentary wedding photographers York Place Studios to capture their wedding at High Billinghurst Farm.

Today’s blog is a vintage styled photoshoot, featuring married couple Melanie & Roger, showcasing the work of a lovely bunch of wedding suppliers at Kearney Abbey and sent to us by NNastia Photography. It’s gorgeous, not least for showcasing a wedding or elopement without ££££ worth of dresses and florals. Sometimes it’s just as beautiful to keep things understated and elegant!

We took vintage wedding style to the next level in this incredible styled shoot with a mature couple at the historic Billiards Room at Kearsney Abbey. Happy couples can now celebrate their wedding day at this Grade II listed venue, offering an intimate and picturesque setting for intimate weddings for up to 40 people. The Billiards Room features floor-to-ceiling oak paneling, period features, and stunning views across the parkland and lake.
