Happy mother's day to all the wonderful mother's in my life 💕 but especially to my own mum, who has been one of my biggest supporters and cheerleaders. I love you, and couldn't have done this without you.

I hope everyone has a beautiful day 🖤

"Blake and I wanted to both thank you so much for everything you did on the wedding day, I completely threw you in the deep end with no guidance at all and the wedding looked absolutely beautiful and it's 100% credit to you.

I appreciate how you could pretty much read my mind and set everything up like you did, I couldn't have done it better myself.

Thank you both for all that you did, I'm so grateful 😍😍"

If you're recently engaged or have recently started on the journey of planning your wedding, I have a little tip for you!!

Don't wait to hire or book your venues and vendors. As things are slowly starting to get back to normal, borders are opening and people start to feel more comfortable booking larger events without the fear if having 😱 postpone 😱, availabe dates are being snatched up like anything biscoff flavoured.. (mmmm, biscoff 🤤)

If you have your heart set on a certain vendor or location, you need to lock that in ASAP or seriously risk missing out and having to compromise - something nobody wants to do for their wedding.

On Saturday I had the absolute pleasure of coordinating for the incredibly lovely (and chill!) Eliza and Will.

Thank you both so much for allowing Blair and I to be part of your big day, we had a blast!

Happy Valentines, lovers 🖤

I hope everyone has a beautiful day, and a massive congrats to all the couples who become engaged today 💍

Weddings are for good times only, not sloppy guests 🚫

🖤 💛 ♥️

There's been a few new followers lately, so what better time to reintroduce myself!

👋 Hi, I'm Ana! The face behind E&E, lover of weddings, and human being that really needs to get more photos of herself outside of the gym 😂

I'm a big fan of lists and planning, so becoming a wedding and event planner/coordinator seemed like the most obvious career choice to me. As an added bonus, I get to help people 👍

Got an event coming up you'd like some assistance with? Shoot me through a dm or email (🔗 in bio) and we can chat. I'd be super keen to work with you!!

21/01/2022

A little tip - trust your gut and make decisions that are right for you both, as a couple.

This applies to everything (even beyond wedding planning). If you have any reservations about costs, reassess how important certain things are you to, then prioritize the things that mean the most to you both. If you're not 100% in love with a certain vendor, keep looking - you'll always find someone that works for you.

Weddings are expensive, no doubt about it. Don't spend your hard earned money on stuff you think you might end up regretting paying so much for in the future, or on hiring someone that doesn't fit perfectly into your vision for YOUR wedding day.

How crazy is this weather?! It's January, and I'm wearing my favourite knitted jumper and tights with fluffy bed socks... Thanks La Niña 🙄

I sure hope everyone getting married this summer has wet weather back up plans!!

This is it guys - just a couple of days left of spring and then it's SUMMER!

Hopefully that means this rain will start to ease off 🤞

How's this weather?!

I hope all upcoming couples are prepped and ready to handle any wild weather changes on their day.

On the up side, rainy overcast days make for some seriously stunning photos!

Trends and traditions

What are some of your faves?

I'm really loving the recent trend of downsizing your guest list. Makes everything so much more intimate and special 🖤

Hello November!

How are we already in the second last month of the year?! Time flies..

To kick off the last week of October I've created this Trick or Treat mood board 🧡 🎃 🍂

Happy Monday!

04/10/2021

It's October, and that means all month long I'll only be thinking about one thing - Halloween 🎃

Do you celebrate Halloween? Would you have a Halloween wedding?

Scented candles - we all love them.

My question is, do you have one scent, or a few, that are your go-to year round, or do you switch it up depending on the season?And which is your favourite scent?

Hope you all had a great weekend x

A little budgeting tip - decide what aspects of your wedding are the most important to you both, and which are a little less so.

This means you might just be able to splurge a little on the things you really want, by not paying too much for things that don't matter so much to you.

How is everyone else doing during lockdown?

If you're planning your wedding, are you considering cancelling/postponing due to the current restrictions? Or are you confident that they will ease before your big day?

Hope everyone is staying safe and healthy x

I'm back, baby!

My break was a little longer than originally anticipated, but I'm feeling refreshed and ready for the upcoming wedding season.

30/07/2021

While things are a little quiet regarding weddings etc right now, and before they start to heat up again, I'm just going to have a little break of a week or two to do some spring cleaning at home, recharge, reorganize and prepare for the upcoming wedding season.

I'll still be checking emails etc, but my response time may be a little longer than usual.

Thanks for understanding x

Fun fact about me - I love to read.

I don't often get to, either because I'm too busy, or tired, but I really love to read. It's super relaxing and helps me unwind like nothing else, and I pretty much always read until I pass out so poor Blair has to remember what page I'm on 😆

I've recently started reading The Witcher, after obsessing over the games and show for a while now. Don't know why I didn't start reading it sooner, honestly.

What books are on your "must read" list?

26/07/2021

What inspires you?

For me, it's nature 🏞️🌄. The colours, the textures, the smells - what's not to love?

I love nothing more than incorporating it into events, even just a little. Gives everything a little life.

Reason number 1 why I recommend including a couple of scented candles in your decor - when your guests smell that same scent later, it'll trigger memories of your wedding

What's your favourite scent?? I'm all about those fruity scents, or anything that smells like baked goods, especially banana bread 🤤

Your wedding style should express who you are, and what you love - not just what's in trend right now.

Do it because you want to, not because everyone else is 🖤

READ YOUR CONTRACTS THRICE

Given all of this *gestures vaguely at everything* and how quickly everything can change, it's never been more important to know EXACTLY what's in your contracts.

Make sure to look specifically for a COVID-19 clause, so you know what your options are in regards to having to cancel or postpone when faced with a government mandated lockdown.

And if your contracts don't contain a COVID-19 clause? Ask for one, making sure it includes not only your options but also what happens with your deposit (will you lose it?), and your quoted price (will it stay the same, or increase?)

I know it's not the most glamorous or exciting part of wedding planning, but it's definitely important - trust me 😉

19/07/2021

Hey guys! Hope you all had a fab weekend ☺️

Just here to let everyone know that my current introductory prices will be going up soon (end of August)

There's still a little time, but I just thought I'd let everyone know so that, if you've been thinking about booking and want to snag a deal (who doesn't, let's be honest), I'd jump on it and slide on into my DM's now 🖤

Alternatively, you can send me an email, if that's more your thang 💋

Did you know 🤔 that in Australia, the most popular month to be married in is October. And - no surprises here - the most popular day of the week to be married on is Saturday.

What month are you planning to be married in? Would you consider holding your wedding on a Sunday, or during the week?

You're engaged. You're excited to plan your wedding, and you're enjoying it. Wondering why so many people say how stressful it is?! All is going well... Until the last few weeks before the big day. There's so much left to do, and you're trying to get it all done while also still actually spend time with your loved ones. It's overwhelming, and making you stress out even more - not what you want. At all.

THEN YOU REMEMBER! That page you saw while scrolling through your feed one day (that's me, BTW). Maybe she can help??

Guess what, friendo - I gotchu. This is why I don't only offer full planning packages. You don't have to make the decision at the beginning of your planning journey, I can come in once it gets to be too much and help you out. That's what I'm here for 🖤 Whenever you need, reach out, and I'll be there 😁 Let me be the one to create those timelines, to go over those final small details, and to make sure everything is ready, that nothing is forgotten.

Bonus - both my full and partial planning packages include on the day coordination, so you don't have to worry about a thing except relaxing and enjoying your day 🍾

Just a cute little quote to kick off the week 🖤

09/07/2021

So, by now we have surely all heard the saying that it's good luck to have rain on your wedding day. But do you know why they say that?

It's pretty simple! Rain symbolizes renewal and fertility 🌧by

I hope everyone is staying safe, dry and warm 🖤

A little tip - start planning early.

Wedding season can be HECTIC. More often than not, vendors are booked so far in advance, it's almost ridiculous. I'm talking 18 months in advance. Nuts, right?

Sure, we can work hard and get it done within a matter of months, but you will definitely be forced to compromise at least once.

So if you've got your eye on a certain vendor and you know you want them, you're going to have to book them asap, or risk that FOMO. And trust me, it can be pretty stressful trying to find that perfect vendor when you're limited only to who doesn't already have a booking for that date.

Would you consider hiring a calligrapher to address your invitations?

I could honestly sit and watch calligraphy videos for hours and hours, it's so soothing to me. Something about the way the ink comes out and the beautiful shapes of the letters, it's dreamy ☁️☁️

𝕾𝖔𝖒𝖊𝖙𝖍𝖎𝖓𝖌 𝖔𝖑𝖉, 𝖘𝖔𝖒𝖊𝖙𝖍𝖎𝖓𝖌 𝖓𝖊𝖜. 𝕾𝖔𝖒𝖊𝖙𝖍𝖎𝖓𝖌 𝖇𝖔𝖗𝖗𝖔𝖜𝖊𝖉, 𝖘𝖔𝖒𝖊𝖙𝖍𝖎𝖓𝖌 𝖇𝖑𝖚𝖊.

Do you know the meaning behind this tradition? No?? Lemme tell you!

"Something old" - to provide protection for the baby to come.

"Something new" - to offer optimism for the future.

"Something borrowed" - to provide good luck.

"Something blue" - a sign of purity and fidelity.

EXTRA FACT! Traditionally, the rhyme has one more line - "and a sixpence in her shoe". This acted as a ward against any evil that could have been done by frustrated suitors.
