Navigating the vast landscape of wedding planning requires a constant infusion of wedding inspiration, and after 15 years orchestrating unforgettable celebrations, I’m here to guide you through the crème de la crème of UK wedding blogs. Drawing from my extensive experience in the wedding design realm, I present to you my top 5 picks. These blogs are not only rich in real weddings and styled shoots but also brimming with invaluable wedding planning advice. Whether you’re just starting or fine-tuning the final details, let this curated list be your go-to source for creativity, style, and expert insights on crafting the wedding of your dreams.
Bridal Musings
Bridal Musings features creative and sophisticated real weddings, styled shoots, beautiful wedding films and useful planning advice. But it’s more than just all the pretty, this is a blog with heart, and as they say themselves: Bridal Musings is “A wedding blog for hopeless romantics”. Demonstrating this ethos, I recently collaborated with them on the UNICEF #endchildmarriage campaign, bringing to light a situation that many people are unaware of. I’ve also contributed to their wedding planning guides and you can find my posts here.

Rock My Wedding
Rock My Wedding has an incredible variety of contemporary and pretty posts from real weddings to styled shoots to DIY tutorials. This is a great place to start looking for different ideas if you’re not sure what direction you want to go in yet, as well as brilliant suppliers. Rock My Wedding also launched Rock My Style for lifestyle inspiration and Rock My Family for features on family life.

Love My Dress
As you’d expect from the name, Love My Dress is full of fashion inspiration- with an emphasis on the elegant and glamorous side of weddings. You can also choose to filter posts that are inspired by different decades or seasons which is handy if you know what style you’re drawn to. The discussion posts are packed with great advice and give you an opportunity to get involved in topics that interest you and the regular From the Heart feature on Love My Dress gives readers a chance to share more personal stories not just about weddings but meaningful insights on life and love.
