Some things I’ve missed like crazy… hazy sunshine and evenings spent with friends. European sunshine and lazy days on holiday. Time to escape, to completely relax and be somewhere utterly new and refreshing. You too? Let’s hope it won’t be too long before we can safely spread our wings again. Meanwhile, I have the most beautiful photoshoot to share with you today. Our wonderful friend Tara from Pudding & Plum Photography was lucky enough to be in the Algarve before lockdown hit, and I asked her if we could publish these breathtaking images. Think dreamy wedding styling ideas and divine fashion photography in the evening sunlight.

Today we’re sharing the loveliest peony-filled wedding style inspiration from a super talented bunch of creative suppliers in Essex. The venue is Old Brook Barn – a beautifully restored 17th century barn surrounded by meadows in the Essex countryside. The look is light and feminine, with gold accents and special touches to give a luxurious look to a summer wedding. The day was styled by lovely wedding planner Hayley Jayne and captured beautifully by Terri & Lori. Read on for a full supplier list. Oh, and isn’t this little guy the cutest?!

With love,

Happy Easter Monday, lovelies! Did anyone actually manage an Easter egg? I hope you’ve all had a lovely weekend at home though – and I wanted to share something extra lovely with you to begin the week. A bit of a bank holiday treat, really! Lovely Hayley Jayne Photography submitted this shoot for the blog, and I just adored the look of it all, and the way these fabulous suppliers wanted to promote the work of Brides Do Good – I’ll let Hayley tell you more!

This. This is one of the loveliest shoots I’ve seen in my EXACTLY 10 years of being a wedding blogger. (Because yes, I’ve just realised English Wedding was born on November 16th, 2009 and it’s our birthday week!) It seems the perfect opportunity to share something very special with you all.

The location is The Railway Barn at New Hall Vineyards. The concepts and styling are by lovely Hayley Jayne Weddings & Events, and images were captured so beautifully by Terri and Lori. I adore Jess’s dress – a stunning design from the inimitable St Patrick brand, loaned from Turner & Pennell in Rayleigh.

Hey everyone! Today we have a really contemporary and romantic wedding look to share with you – with beautiful images from Kingsdown Rectory in Kent. The look of the day brings rustic and natural elements together in an elegant and refined way which I LOVE – and oh, that dress though?! It’s all so perfect, I hope you’ll agree!
