Simply stunning. Made by nearly a decade ago but could easily be made for a wedding today. Classic, elegant, beautiful.

Yn y briodas hon roedd morwyn 18 oed o’r enw Sophie, sef chwaer y priodfab. Chydig wythnosau yn ôl, bron degawd yn ddiweddarach, mi briododd Sophie a Crwys. Roedd hi wirioneddol yn brofiad hyfryd cael gweithio i’r teulu unwaith yn rhagor. A Lyn wnaeth eu cacen nhw hefyd 🥰

In a nutshell, an event coordinator will coordinate all of the services that you have already booked.

It’s a popular service, and it basically means that you are fully in charge of sourcing and booking your venue yourself, you will research, contact and book all of your suppliers yourself, and you will book / purchase just about everything needed for your big day.

What on earth is left to do?! A lot more than you may realise, (as my clients so often tell me) especially for a marquee or dry hire venue when you literally just pay to use their building.

A coordinator can…

✔️ Step in a few weeks prior to your special day.
✔️ Go through all of the details with you and tie up loose ends.
✔️ Contact your venue & suppliers to make sure their needs are understood.
✔️ Communicate your own needs & wants clearly with your venue & suppliers.
✔️ Skillfully and sensitively make sure all of those individual needs are met, without disrupting each other’s work. (We’re talking 20+ individuals - not always easy.)
✔️ Create a day-of timeline, based on those needs and based on the coordinator’s professional experience.
✔️ Set up at your venue.
✔️ Act as a point of contact for your venue & suppliers.
✔️ Be on site prepping in the morning, and assisting your suppliers, meaning you or anyone from your wedding party avoid having to run over when you’re supposed to be enjoying getting ready with your friends. This is an especially important role if you have a marquee or any other dry hire type of venue because there is literally no-one else to do this for you.
✔️ Be a point of contact for guests also. I am yet to coordinate a wedding where guests don’t need me on the day, and I love that I’m able to help them too 🥰
✔️ Communicate any change in timings throughout the day with your suppliers.
✔️ Oversee absolutely everything throughout the day, coordinate each element, problem solve as the day goes on, ensuring you can relax and celebrate with your friends and family and have a day to cherish forever.
✔️ Pack down at the end of the night or the morning after.

…aaaand everything in between. Phew! Good job I love what I do 🥰

Gobeithio fod hyn yn helpu 💕
I hope this helps 💕

21/04/2024

Dwi wir wrth fy modd efo’r rhan yma o’r diwrnod, er ei fod dim ond yn para cwta un munud!

I absolutely LOVE this part of the day, even though it usually only lasts about a mintue! Seeing Katie & Steffan here being welcomed in filled my heart with joy for them 🥰

I’d love to experiment more here. Wouldn’t it be brilliant if the couple, who are being welcomed into a room full of their closest people as a married couple for the very first time, could fully enjoy their moment, for more than one minute? It wouldn’t suit everyone, but I know of a fair few that it would 👌🏻💕

What do we all think?

A planner will do just that - plan.

They’ll plan any aspect of your wedding or event that you want them to. They can save you money too as they usually receive discounted supplier rates. (All reputable wedding planners pass this discount directly to their clients.)

A planner can…

✔️ source suitable venue(s) & suppliers, following your brief, and using their extensive list of top quality contacts.
✔️ assist in organising your ceremony.
✔️ advise on or plan your design / theme with your florist and prop hire company.
✔️ schedule meetings with your venue & suppliers on your behalf.
✔️ accompany you to your venue & suppliers meetings, not to take over but to make sure all the correct questions are asked and to make sure nothing is forgotten.
✔️ assist with your stationery e.g. help write invites (this part is very important as it’s the first communication your guests will receive about your wedding day). I assist with writing both Welsh and English stationery.
✔️ manage your guests’ RSVPs including menu choices & dietary requirements.
✔️ organise food & drink tastings, dress fittings, engagement shoots.
✔️ assist with budget management and keep on top of supplier payment dates.
✔️ create a floor plan. (Note: a floor plan is different to a seating plan. I’ll talk about that another time.)
✔️ communicate your needs & wants clearly with your venue & suppliers.
✔️ provide etiquette support (i.e. help you with the politics).
✔️ create a timeline for the day itself to ensure that it runs smoothly, based on years of experience.
✔️ coordinate logistics, making sure all the suppliers involved in the running of the day know where they’re supposed to be, and when.
✔️ oversee everything on the day itself, coordinating each element, ensuring you can relax and celebrate with your friends and family and have a day to cherish forever.

…and everything in between.

If you’d like to organise your own wedding (source & book your venue & suppliers yourself) then find yourself needing support in making everything work and bringing it all together, then a coordinator is right for you.

Ok, so what exactly does a coordinator do? Stay tuned - I’ll let you know very soon 💕

✨ YN EDRYCH AM FODELAU ✨

I’m organising some gorgeous wedding shoots and I’m on the look out for models.

Is this for you, or someone you know?

Ideally, modelling couples would be awesome. Couple models looking for more experience and needing images for a growing portfolio - this would be perfect for you!

I’m currently looking for models for a reeeally exciting shoot in the Aberystwyth area on Wednesday, May 15th. It’s a collaboration between myself and hand-picked, amazingly talented, local wedding suppliers and it’s going to be loads of fun!

I have a particular look that I’m after for this one… One model in a dress and the other in a suit - not necessarily 1 female and 1 male, although that would work. One person would need to have big / long hair.

Intrigued? Think you’d be a good match? Get tagging people you think would be brilliant for this! Comment “send info” and I’ll DM you some details.

Who are my adventurous clients? Would you get married in space?

I honestly don’t know how I’ve managed to keep this a secret for so long. I’ve been working hard and meeting with for the past four years to make this happen and finally, we are here!!

I’m proud to say that I’ve helped couples get married in lovely and bizarre places over the years - on a beach, on a moving train, and even underground in a cave - but this is next level.

More details will be revealed very soon but if you’re a 2025 or later bride and would like more info, DM me and we’ll chat.

Say “I do” in space! Coming soon!

As we head into fairer weather and longer days, it really is worth thinking about scheduling in those sunset moments.

I knew this was important to my client (weather dependent of course!) and it was a stunning day, so myself and their awesome photographer made sure it happened.

We did have to peel them away from the celebrations for a few moments so they could be driven up the hill for this, but I think it was worth it. What do you think? Would you schedule in sunset photos?

Look at my bride’s smile 😍

Nearly two years since this happy, happy day.

With family flown in from the Caribbean and Maid of Honour travelling all the way from Florida in America especially for the wedding, it was always going to be extra special.

(And yes that’s me and her MoH securing her into her dress!) 😃👰

This is me, trying to look cool and not at all freaked out during a photo shoot last year. I was SO nervous. I really dislike photos of me. Are any of us really happy and comfortable in front of a camera?!

There was an awesome pro photographer the other side of that lense. She knew EXACTLY what to do and say to get the best picture she could of me. Honestly, I really am actually so happy with the results! Me - happy with photos of ME 🤯🤯🤯

Moral of the story: ALWAYS hire a professional photographer for your event - especially your wedding.

Never, ever accept an offer from a well-meaning friend / colleague / Auty Jo’s next door neighbour. “But they have a brilliant-looking, expensive, fancy camera and all the gear!”

Great! But they need to know what to do with it! 🙊🤪🤦🏼‍♀️

I was SO nervous before this shoot, even though there were only 7 of us involved in the whole thing! So I do get it. You want someone you’re comfortable with. That’s why I always recommend that my clients have a quick phone call with potential photographers BEFORE booking them to see if they’re a good fit, instead of going by their images only. And ask for reviews - nothing wrong with that. Trust your gut, and go book that pro photographer.

Turns out, I quite enjoy having a day off in Cardiff, having my hair & make-up done, parading around and having a laugh with the awesome 😁🙌🏻⭐️ Let’s do it again pleeeease ❤️😘

Dear Erin,

Thank you, beautiful girl, for reminding me last Summer why I do what I do. You also reminded me not to worry about those things that don’t actually matter, and to keep on going. I said goodbye today but I promise that I will never forget.

Alaw xx
