It strikes me more and more often that wedding blogs are ALL about the pretty. We’re doing weddings a disservice. Weddings are full on, crazy emotional days where normal life is amplified by a million percent. There’s love, and more of it in one room than at any other occasion ever in our lives! There’ll be tears and joy and laughter and that feeling you get when you see a friend you’ve not caught up with for years. There’ll be speeches with stories in to make you burst with happiness. Your best friends and parents will say amazing things about how proud they are. All of those moments are huge – and yet we’re all guilty of focusing a tad too much on the florals. It’s not just me, is it?
If ever I’ve seen karma in action, it’s today. Lovely people attract lovely people – and this stunningly beautiful wedding involves a range of very highly recommended suppliers. Bride Hannah has written incredible reviews to share with you – not least for Chesterfield wedding photographer Matt Moore. I have absolutely loved scrolling through Hannah & Aiden’s images – see more on @englishweddingblog insta – and reading all about their very special Peak Edge Hotel wedding. Over to our beautiful bride to tell you more!

No wedding is ever weather-proof! However, having a Plan B for rain on your wedding day can save you from heartache and stress! I stumbled across Elegante by Michelle J’s blog about rainy day wedding planning and had to share her genius tips with you. In Michelle’s own words, “As much as we don’t want to think about the possibility of wet weather weddings, any wedding planner worth their salt will tell you it’s vital to always have a ‘wet weather plan’ just in case – no matter the location or time of year!”
This scares me: one in six wedding guests admits to drink driving the morning after the big day. And we’re not talking about it enough.
Direct Line in collaboration with luxury wedding planner Mark Niemierko have launched a campaign to educate couples and wedding guests about drink driving after weddings. With around 220,000 marriages a year in England and Wales, and an average of 80 guests at each one, that suggests over a million journeys are made by a driver who could be over the limit, the day after a wedding.
I’m thrilled to share this beautiful Devon wedding for stunning couple Emma & Matt. They were married at Burrow Farm Gardens and chose Devon Wedding Photographer Snapdragon Photography to capture their day! Special touches include hired trees which make the styling really natural and sustainable – and Emma’s Rosa Clara dress is an absolute beauty!
