The Ultimate UK Wedding Supplier Checklist


Planning a wedding is one of the most exciting times in your life, but let's be honest, it can also be totally overwhelming. From choosing the right venue to finding that one perfect florist who just gets you, there’s a lot to juggle. And while Pinterest boards are a great starting point, they don’t always help you find the real people behind the magic.


That’s where this guide comes in. Think of it less like a shopping list and more like a trusted friend pointing you in the right direction. At English Garden & Antiques, we’ve brought together some incredible UK-based wedding suppliers that we think you’ll absolutely love, whether you're planning a countryside celebration, a chic city soirée, or something entirely your own.


Best Wedding Venues in the UK

Let’s start with the canvas, your venue.


Brickhouse Vineyard is tucked away in the rolling hills of South Devon, surrounded by 20 acres of woodland and vines. It’s just 20 minutes from Exeter, but it feels like a secret escape. Perfect for intimate weddings or elopements, it offers exclusive use so the day is truly yours.



Thicket Priory in North Yorkshire brings grandeur and comfort together in one stunning venue. With 35 bedrooms, an on-site chapel, and lush gardens, it's the kind of place where you and your guests will never want to leave. It's ideal for larger gatherings that still feel personal and luxurious.

Designer Bridalwear for Statement-Making Brides

You want to look incredible, but more importantly, you want to feel like yourself, just dialled up a notch (or three).


That’s where Zavana Bridal comes in. Designed for brides who want to make a statement, Zavana dresses feature lace, intricate beading, and bold silhouettes. It's luxury with a little edge, perfect for the bride who refuses to blend in.


Wedding Florists That Create Show-Stopping Blooms

Florals can completely transform a space. They can soften an industrial venue, elevate a countryside barn, or add a burst of colour to a minimalist setting.

Spring Wood Flowers, based in West Yorkshire, is known for creating beautiful, natural arrangements that feel fresh from the garden. This workshop-based florist also offers floral design workshops, so if you want to get hands-on and learn the craft, you're in good company.


Candid Wedding Photography You’ll Treasure Forever

The best wedding photographers don’t just take pictures, they tell stories.

Ben Chapman Photos does exactly that, and more. With a fun, relaxed style, Ben captures those blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moments, the laughs, the happy tears, the dancing-with-nan-on-the-dancefloor energy. These are the photos you’ll keep going back to.

Antique Wedding Jewellery and Accessories With Meaning

Your jewellery isn’t just an accessory, it’s a part of your story.

AC Silver offers a curated selection of antique and vintage jewellery, including diamond rings, gemstone pieces, and one-of-a-kind finds. These are pieces that hold history, elegance, and character.


Wedding Cakes and Catering With a Personal Touch

Let’s talk cake. (Because honestly, who doesn’t love cake?)


Wedding and Events Angel, based in Mamhead, Devon, does it all: elegant wedding cakes, edible favours, small catering, and luxury afternoon teas. Every creation is made with love and a serious eye for detail, and yes, they taste just as amazing as they look.


Final Thoughts on Choosing the Right Wedding Suppliers

Wedding planning can feel like a lot. But the right suppliers? They make all the difference.

These are the people who bring your vision to life, who show up with passion and talent, and who genuinely care about your big day.
