If you could bottle up and keep just one thing from your wedding day, it’d be the joy. The exact feeling of saying “I do”, or perhaps when you first see each other walking down the aisle: that burst of love and happiness. That right there is your once-in-a-lifetime wedding moment. Couples who feature on English Wedding tell us again and again how amazing it feels. And only afterwards do you realise that every minute of the last however-many-months you’ve spent planning was all leading up to that moment.
First time planning a wedding? Yep – pretty much everyone’s working all this out as they go along, so you’re absolutely not alone! Diving into a world of catering and styling, planning and logistics can be insane – but keeping on top of your plans will stop the overwhelm. Having a great relationship with your suppliers is really important, and communication is everything. Here’s how to talk to your wedding suppliers – from jargon to problem-solving, budgets and more.
Strikingly beautiful floristry can elevate a wedding more than anything else. Sweeping, statement floral displays will wow your guests and look sensational in your wedding album. For a stately home wedding, it’s essential to choose flowers and arrangements to do more than just complement the space: they should take inspiration from your venue’s aesthetic and bring your wedding vision to life in the most beautiful way. To create unforgettable installations, work with an experienced designer who specialises in flowers for stately home weddings. I had the loveliest chat with luxury wedding florist Jemma Khan, whose advice for couples is golden.
