A Most Curious Wedding Fair is back!! - a date for your diaries

FEATURED

Oh now this is great news – wedding shows and fairs have a horrific reputation but there are a few exciting and creative events which challenge the wedding industry and stand out from the crowd. A Most Curious Wedding Fair is most certainly one of them – and following a year when some very high profile events were sadly cancelled, it’s fantastic to know that A Most Curious Wedding Fair will be back for 2014. All the details are below, and suppliers will be announced over the next month or two so watch out for those!

The UK’s coolest wedding event is back for Spring/Summer 14 – bigger, better and blazing the trail for style savvy brides and grooms and a brand new venue. On Friday 4th and Saturday 5th April 2014, A Most Curious Wedding Fair will be bringing their unique brand of wedding cool to Hackney Downs Studios, East London in the heart of the UK’s creative hub.

Jennifer and Paul’s Manchester boutique hotel wedding with vintage touches

FEATURED

I loved Jennifer and Paul’s Manchester wedding as soon as I saw their photos on the Foley Photography blog. They’re a gorgeous couple with a distinctive style; Jennifer wears her Jenny Packham wedding dress so beautifully and Paul looks amazing in his Savile Row suit – a treat I think every groom should have!

Foley Photography Manchester boutique hotel wedding (1)

The happy couple chose Foley Photography to take the photographs on the day. “I had looked at the websites of many photographers and felt the photographs were all very similar and pretty uninspiring. Foley Photography stood out instantly. Their photographs have a real vintage feel and Scott captures the small details and expressions that I haven’t seen anywhere else. Scott and Amedea are married themselves and run the business together. They completely listened to what we wanted and didn’t force their ideas onto us (as is the case with some photographers!). We were absolutely thrilled with the results.” http://foleyphotography.co.uk

Hello everyone! I hope you’re having the most amazing Christmas and enjoying a little time off work and with your families and friends. I promised myself the English Wedding Blog would have brand new features every day over the festive season, and today’s wedding is a real treat – definitely one not to miss!

Jae-Marie got in touch with me in November to tell me all about her beautiful eclectic London wedding to Dan, and I’m so delighted she did.

Introducing Lanvin Blanche - unique, statement French bridal fashion

FEATURED

The one thing every bride and couple tell me about their wedding planning is that they want their day to be unique. Everyone looks for those special touches which their guests won’t have seen before, to make their wedding memorable. For some of us, this means gorgeous paper details, handcrafted accessories or wedding favours. For others it’s avoiding the usual bridal boutiques and searching further afield for a unique wedding dress.

French bridal fashion (5)

I’ve always loved the French attitude to fashion, I adore seeing how creative French designers can be, always launching collections which challenge our preconceptions and get us talking! French bridal fashion is of course no different, and Lanvin Blanche 2014 is simply beautiful. For any English brides out there looking to wear a statement dress, hop over to Paris or buy online at www.Lanvin.com

Celebrating Boxing Day with a beautiful, romantic and inspiring wedding film

Hello everyone, I hope you’re having the most wonderful Christmas! Let’s relax together with a short wedding film this morning, shall we? The very lovely Richard from White Dress Films got in touch to share Sarah and Rick’s wedding film, and I love it!

Sarah + Rick || Gaynes Park from White Dress Films on Vimeo.

I love the Mr & Mrs signs – the library as a backdrop for the wedding dress is amazing! This couple have great style… proven by the rows of Converse set out before the wedding begins. They’re for the groomsmen, and are always lovely to see!

Sarah looks amazing and Rick is her perfect match. This is a magical, emotional wedding with inspiring styling – it has everything. Be inspired by their style – ice cream cones and bunting, colourful converse, pink roses and wildflowers in jars on tables. The table plan with hand cut letters, and the photo wall with ready-made quotes. The end of the wedding film is lovely, the romantic lighting just makes you want to see more!
