A short weekly round up this week, because I’m dashing around trying to pick up some pieces that WordPress dropped. Don’t ask!
The life of a wedding blogger is never simple, but it’s always a challenge and I do love the geeky stuff… I’ve learnt so much from my wedding blog! (turns out, there’s plenty more to learn) Anyways, here’s a weekly round up of my best bits, and everyone else’s too!
On English Wedding last week: highlights
The story of a beautiful wedding by one of my fabulous blog sponsors
My absolute highlight had to be Adela – a stunning, elfin beauty of a bride. Adela and Toby’s wedding shot by English Wedding sponsor Martin Beddall is such a beautiful thing. Love love love it!
Gorgeous paper bags and calligraphy from Before the Big Day wedding blog
I gave you a Wednesday Writes feature – full of paper inspiration, calligraphy and signage for weddings. Thanks for all the twitter feedback everyone, glad you loved this one!
It was finally time to talk about advertising in UK wedding magazines. I was nice. This was a two-parter:
- The UK wedding magazine review: advertising

I’d love to hear more comments on these: have you had a successful advertisement in a UK wedding magazine? What’s your secret?!
