Pete and Claire’s rustic barn wedding in Devon, with Butterfly Photography

FEATURED

Pete and Claire are one of those couples who instantly make me smile. They’re a perfect match, absolutely gorgeous and their smiles warm my heart. They styled a rustic barn wedding at The Barn at South Milton, and together with family and friends created a wonderful day full of personality and charm.

Claire and Pete poured their hearts into styling a really beautiful day, and I love the little details: the seasonal flowers, handmade paper stars, printed napkins, bunting and logs full of flowers are just adorable!

Pink peonies and pretty pastels – sweet candy colours for a wedding inspiration shoot!

FEATURED

Hello lovely wedding blog readers, I hope you’re not working too hard today! I have the perfect feature to share with you this morning – something I was involved with a few weeks ago, where I had the pleasure of spending a day with wonderful people to create a really inspiring shoot. We created different bridal looks with our beautiful model Kelsey, and today I’m sharing the prettiest of them all, centred on a gorgeous pink peony bouquet by Kevin at Brackens of Bowness.

pink peonies bridal ideas (1) Kelsey shows just how easy it is to combine beautiful key pieces for a timeless and glamorous wedding style. She wears a dress by Sassi Holford, which came from the fabulous Julia Tasker Bridal Couture. The embroidered detail is so pretty, and goes beautifully with her elegant, smooth updo and natural make up. (Hair: Aqua Salon | Make up: Definitions)

Today I’m over the moon to be sharing a styled shoot from PapaKåta, The Wedding Affair and Dominic Wright Photography. The star of the day? Well aside from our gorgeous couple, it has to be the beautiful tent doesn’t it? Just… wow!

Imagine celebrating your wedding under canvas with something glamorous, exciting and brand new to the UK.

I’ve been a MASSIVE fan of PapaKåta since the beginning of the English Wedding Blog back in 2011. Wedding teepees were brand new, and we loved their rustic, eco style. PapaKåta is now the UK’s biggest supplier of teepees and back in February I heard they were bringing Sperry Tents – fabulous American styled tents – over to the UK. Sperry Tents are huge in the US, always on the world’s top wedding blogs, and I’m more excited than I can even begin to tell you to be sharing this shoot with you today. See more...

Anna and Liam’s outdoor wedding at Ox Pasture Hall, with Colin Murdoch Studio

FEATURED

Anna and Liam had a beautifully homemade outdoor wedding at Ox Pasture Hall, near Scarborough. Anna and her mum spent hours making things for the wedding beforehand, from the 100 metres of bunting her mum made to the stationery for the day itself. Anna saved money on flowers by making her own arrangements with more help from her mum, and spent many a weekend scouring car boot sales for vintage crockery and china to decorate tables.

This is a really lovely wedding – I adore Anna’s dress, and it’s great to see the guys in waistcoats without jackets for a change! The details are lovely, the venue just perfect… and the bunting looks fantastic! Huge congratulations to a beautiful bride and gorgeous groom, and thanks to Heather and Colin at Colin Murdoch Studio for sharing the images with us all today. Enjoy!

A homemade but classic Southwood Hall wedding, with James Powell Photography

FEATURED

Becci used Pinterest to plan her spring wedding to Danny, styling a homemade but classic day with a touch of vintage. She’s a beautiful bride, and shares some wonderful moments from the day in her wedding report at the end of the feature. The venue is Southwood Hall in Norfolk, an exclusive venue on a family run farm. It’s lovely!

James Powell Photography Southwood Hall (28)

Becci’s advice is wonderful: “It will be the only day in your life that you are likely to have everyone that matters to you all in the same place at the same time. Enjoy that. Enjoy the different groups of friends and family mixing as they are all there for a united purpose.” This is very true – I’ve heard lots of couples giving the same advice. And there’s more from Becci in the wedding report at the end of today’s real wedding feature so don’t miss it!

James Powell Photography Southwood Hall (24)

There’s also a brilliant funny moment: the registrar accidentally read Danny’s Dad’s name instead of Danny’s… which had everyone laughing! Luckily Becci married the right guy and the day was a beautiful success! See more...
