I’m often sent guest blogs full of alleged regrets, mistakes and ‘things we’d do differently‘ – but I’d never publish anything so glum and disheartening! Wedding planning should be a pleasure, and my aim at English Wedding is to help you enjoy the journey. So this morning I’ve grabbed one of those regretful press releases, given it a good shake upside down and come out with some cheerful and genuinely useful tips to help plan your weddings!

Every year, I’m sent a list of the most instagrammable wedding venues in the UK, and I have to be honest about how this makes me feel. Choosing your wedding venue shouldn’t mean playing along to a social media popularity contest. So Blenheim Palace has most hashtags… it’s certainly not every couple’s cup of tea! While it’s nice to see the likes of stunning Tunnels Beaches and beautiful Askham Hall on the list, I take these rankings with a massive pinch of salt and a hearty dose of scepticism.
