I am full of festive spirit today! It’s our last blog before Christmas and we have an absolutely gorgeous, sparkly twinkly Christmassy wedding which I know you will LOVE!!! The newlyweds are Katy and Simon, married at Northamptonshire’s Fawsley Hall with images by Sky Photography. I’ve been so excited to share this wedding with you, and I’m thrilled that Katy’s written all about their stunning day including fabulous reviews for her favourite Northants wedding suppliers. As always, I’ll share favourite photos on instagram (@englishweddingblog) but for now, grab yourself a cosy cuppa and scroll slowly – this is one of the loveliest Christmas weddings I’ve ever seen!
Today’s styled shoot is all elegance and luxury, with minimalist styling touches focusing on quality. Sent in by a group of talented wedding suppliers in Oxford, this is all kinds of gorgeous and I hope you love it too! Images are by Nicola Belson Photography, and the wording below is from Nicola too. As always, there’s lots more to see on @englishweddingblog!
The iconic Randolph Hotel, steeped in centuries-old grandeur, has recently emerged from the ashes of fire damage with a fresh, contemporary spirit. This juxtaposition of old and new provided the perfect canvas to stage a wedding shoot embodying a tropical luxe aesthetic — a seamless blend of old-world charm and modern sophistication.
I do love a winter wedding. Seeing how couples incorporate lights and candles, and the bare branches and evergreen foliage we celebrate through the darker months – it makes weddings a little more special with all those wonderful styling touches. And then, of course, there’s the opportunity for incredible lighting in your photos.
Connie and Lewis knew they had to choose the right photographers for their day, and they loved our friends and Devon wedding photographers Younger Photography from day one. Keep reading to see the review they gave us in their English Wedding interview below!
This beautifully styled wedding inspiration was sent in by our friends and English Wedding members Younger Photography. We love the elegant styling touches and all the foliage in the arrangements – the cake is fabulous and the setting is breathtaking. You’ll LOVE both dresses featured in this shoot – Kelly is absolutely stunning in both, and they’re perfect for the timeless setting of magnificent Welbeck Manor.

This one’s special. Every once in a while I’m sent a wedding which absolutely blows me away – the romance of it all, the couple, the photography and the styling – and it goes STRAIGHT into my secret favourite weddings folder, ready to share again at Christmas. And on that note… hello Laura & Rob! These two just smile all day long. Their (safely before covid) wedding is joyful, beautiful and deliciously elegant with stunning styling touches. And a little surprise – well, a big surprise – instead of a wedding car. It’s like the biggest alternative-to-a-wedding-car we’ve ever seen, and it’s extra wonderful because of the story behind it. Oh, and one of our fave photographers gets a glowing review from the happy couple: lovely Midlands wedding photographer J S Coates was a big part of Laura & Rob’s day, and his photos are just incredible. Let’s dive in, shall we?
