The Best Wedding Blogs… Real Weddings and Creative Ideas!

The best wed­ding blogs of the week! (ish!)

Of course week­ends are pretty damn good for doing a lit­tle wed­ding research or read­ing up on pretty ideas too. With that in mind, here’s one of my reg­u­lar ‘best wed­ding blogs’ arti­cles with some links to love­li­ness, real wed­dings, ideas and advice.

Enjoy! (espe­cially if you’re still in bed read­ing this!) Claire xx

Real wed­dings

• Cold out­side? This win­ter wed­ding from Row­ton Hall shows just how beau­ti­ful win­try weather can be.
• Beau­ti­ful ele­gance and a very tra­di­tional Eng­lish wed­ding at a spec­tac­u­lar venue.
• We do wed­dings with such style here in the UK! Just look at Louise and Michael’s gor­geous Oxford wed­ding on the blog to see what I mean
• A delight­fully cosy win­ter wed­ding — the romance and warmth of the images will warm your cock­les (and the details will inspire any win­ter brides and grooms too!)
• A musi­cal Nether­lands wed­ding — the invi­ta­tions are a treat, and the whole day is beautiful.
• I think you’ll love this Lan­cashire wed­ding blog — a really amaz­ing cou­ple and some incred­i­ble images and ideas.
• This one blew me away: a clas­sic Eng­lish wed­ding from Clive­den House in Berk­shire. What a stun­ning venue!

Think cre­ative! Wed­ding ideas blogs

• Wood­land wed­ding ideas — cre­ate a fresh and excit­ing rus­tic look for your wed­ding day with this inspi­ra­tional shoot on Eng­lish Wed­ding Blog
• Noisy escort cards with cal­lig­ra­phy (it’s like all my worlds have come together in one…) Do you like this idea?
• I love this — make your own chalk­board wed­ding sign from Love My Dress blog. Easy and adapt­able for wher­ever you want to use cute wed­ding signs!
• There are lev­els of cre­ativ­ity in wed­dings which always astound me. This fairy­tale cas­tle wed­ding cake even has lights inside… it’s incredible!
• Bridal fash­ion in a cre­ative coun­try­side photo shoot — for wed­ding dresses with a dif­fer­ence, and with tons of char­ac­ter. This is fantastic.

Wed­ding advice and opin­ion — the best wed­ding blog articles

• Newly engaged? Start here — via Rock n Roll Bride. A great arti­cle / dia­gram! I love what it says about Pin­ter­est
• Wed­ding plan­ning advice for win­ter wed­dings — if you love frosty morn­ings and look for­ward to snow, read this arti­cle to help with your Decem­ber / Jan­u­ary wed­ding plans!

For wed­ding pho­tog­ra­phers and wed­ding suppliers

I should update my wed­ding busi­ness blog more often, I know! But hey, I’m still recov­er­ing from New Year so I’ll share some tips and arti­cles here today instead. For­give me…

• Pho­tog­ra­phy qual­ity and face­book — a bril­liant arti­cle by pho­tog­ra­pher Ben Morse (lovely guy too, by the way!) So flickr fades into the back­ground because face­book has rev­o­lu­tionised social media. The only prob­lem with this is that face­book will pum­mel your images into some­thing almost unrecog­nis­able before it pub­lishes. What does this mean for cou­ples choos­ing wed­ding pho­tog­ra­phers in 2013?
• The boys from Stag­gered aren’t impressed with face­book either: read Social Media Is The Sin­gle Worst Habit A Small Busi­ness Can Develop on their wed­ding blog!

Have a great week­end, everyone!
