Step into the enchanting world of weddings at the Barnsdale Hotel in Oakham, Rutland, where every detail tells a story of love, romance, and timeless elegance. Join us as we unveil the newly renovated wedding barn, a sanctuary of warmth and beauty nestled amidst the picturesque landscapes of Rutland. Through a captivating styled shoot adorned in terracotta hues, we invite you to witness the magic of collaboration and creativity, as a team of talented suppliers brings dream weddings to life.

We’re feeling the joys of autumn today with this beautiful September wedding from lovely Rutland wedding photographer Amanda Forman. The colours are glorious, our couple are stunning and the flowers and little styling touches are out of this world! We’ve saved some of our fave pics for insta, so do head on over to @englishweddingblog after you’ve ready Chloe and James’s interview and supplier recommendations just below!

Our wedding was everything we had dreamt it would be, one of my youngest bridesmaids had a gorgeous little bespoke dress made for her, I bought a small size from where I got the other dresses, and took it to a local woman in Stamford who created a mini version of the big girl dresses. A rust velvet dream!

WE have a treat for you all today – summer sunshine and a prettily styled, country garden wedding look from a collaboration of talented wedding creatives in Lincolnshire. We love that there are two looks to fall in love with: Sarah wears a stunning dress with a plunge neckline (and if you scroll, puppies…) and Jo models a classic strappy wedding dress, perfect for summer time!
