What to do? Just English or English-Dutch?

December is the time of year to reflect on the past year and start planning for the biz for the new year. I love blogging but it takes up a LOT of time...
I'm now considering writing the blogposts in English only to save some time.

I'd love your input! What would you prefer, English only or continue as is in both English and Dutch?

December is de tijd van het jaar om het afgelopen jaar de revue te laten passeren en bedrijfsplannen te maken voor het nieuwe jaar. Ik ben dol op bloggen, maar het kost heel veel tijd...
Nu overweeg ik om de blogposts vanaf januari alleen nog in het Engels te schrijven om wat tijd te kunnen besparen.

Ik hoor graag je mening! Wat heeft je voorkeur, alleen Engels of doorgaan zoals het nu is in zowel Engels als Nederlands?

    I would prefer German as well :-) No I am just joking. I think just English is perfectly fine !

    I have been thinking on going to blog in Dutch as well but I decided to only blog in English because I can express myself better this way, I would actually have to translate it to Dutch and I am thinking you do too ;). Besides, although our clients are Dutch, most of them know English but I think blogsreaders are mainly looking at pretty photos anyway :)

    If I were you I'd only write in English :) I think your brides can read English and the language is just so pretty. Both Dutch and English is a bit too much in my humble opinion ; ) I wish I was brave enough to write our blog in English!

    @Astrid, als ik alleen Nederlandstalige klanten en bloglezers zou hebben, zou dat een optie zijn. In mijn geval is dat dus geen optie gezien de hoeveelheid Engelstalige klanten en bloglezers die ik heb..

    Thanks everyone for the input so far! Much appreciated :)

    Personally I'd go for a bi-langual blog! Granted, it's a bit more work, but imho it makes more sense for your business. While a lot of us Dutchies speak/write decent English, I doubt ALL of your (possible) client base does, you ARE based in The Netherlands after all. I realize you work with a lot of non-Dutch people as well and that the majority of the wedding business goes on in English speaking countriesand English IS a beautiful language. But so is Dutch, and I personally am a little saddened by the fact English is taken over our native language more and more so, not just on tv, but also on the internet, and in our daily lives. Just my 2 cents :)
