// Rebecca 👋🏼 // A well overdue intro to our in-house floral queen, and coordination legend, Rebecca. Alongside being a professional florist Rebecca has over 15 years experience in hospitality, including coordinating weddings at busy hotel venues and supporting other wedding planners and stylists (she’s also adept at pulling pints and running bars!)

Rebecca joined the team in 2022 to take a leading role in our on the day coordination services, provide support for planning and bringing an abundance of creative flair. Even better, we are increasingly providing our couples a combined wedding planning, coordination and floral service. This ensures cohesion between your overall wedding design and your florals during planning and delivery, and reduces the number of suppliers you have to liaise with and meetings to be held, making your planning journey much calmer, considered and simpler.

Anyone who has worked with Rebecca will attest that she is one of the most reliable and hard working pairs of hands you can have at a wedding. She works all hours and goes above and beyond to get everything and anything that needs doing done, even if it’s not her responsibility! From prepping brides for their ceremony processional to greeting guests, dressing tables and scraping plates (not to mention taking care to ensure your flowers look their best, even if she hasn’t made them) she always has a smile on her face, is a joy to work with and exudes and passion for ensuring an exceptional wedding.

When she’s not flowering up or managing weddings Rebecca loves a trip to the Norfolk coast, a cheeky G&T and some Japanese food, alongside being a busy Mum of two 🤍

As F&F continues to grow & grow I just couldn’t do it without this absolute legend of a right hand woman 👑 Big love 🫶🏻

// Yurt Love // Our very first wedding of 2024 is a Yurt wedding - infact it’s a TRIPLE Yurt wedding - and we are so excited!

I’ve waxed lyrical before about how much I love these structures. The intricate woodwork skeleton with its varying design provides so much interest, and makes for a beautiful natural backdrop. The pavilion dome topped with a transparent roof lets the light flood in, and I love that you can roll the sides up to invite more sunshine and a breeze in, whilst still retaining a defined boundary.

I find them utterly charming, and so do weddings guests, many of whom have never even seen one before. They definitely provide a wow factor 👌🏻

Make sure they’re on your list when you research your marquee options - and watch this space for some immense Yurt magic in just six weeks time!

// Take a Seat // In my opinion so much the beauty of a pole marquee is in its own intrinsic design - the wooden poles and billowing canvas, and the ability to open it up to seamlessly blend with the natural beauty of its surroundings.

There’s lots you can do to add to and incorporate colour, signage, props, furniture, abundant florals…but not every budget allows for that, nor may it suit everyone’s personal tastes. So here’s a reminder from B&Cs big day of how little you need to add to a pole marquee to create a beautiful, elegant wedding.

If you want to keep it simple but stylish the one singular recommendation I make for an impactful elevation of your interior is a considered choice on the style of your chairs. They’re prominent in the line of sight across the marquee and will certainly inform a first impression. Many marquee companies offer a variety of chairs, and those that don’t won’t be offended if you decline their selection and hire them in separately. Oak style cross-back chairs like these are a favourite of mine and certainly complement the natural wooden components of a pole marquee, but there’s a huge variety out there from natural to upholstered and bold.

Not sure what seating will suit? We can support you with options for chair choices and sourcing suppliers to provide the furniture that works for your overall aesthetic.

Let’s rejoice in the choice of chairs…and be happy that the days of lycra chair covers are behind us 😉

// F U N // “enjoyment, amusement, or light-hearted pleasure”

Whether you’re planning an elegant and formal affair, or a full-on festival wedding, surely FUN is the one ingredient that everyone wants to incorporate in their big day. Whats the point in throwing the celebration of your lives if not to ensure you and your loved ones really enjoy themselves?!

Fun was at the heart of everything we worked with L&J to incorporate in their special day. Here’s some of the ways they made sure their friends and family had a the best day celebrating their union 😀

• Welcome drinks before the ceremony, that guests were welcome to keep with them and sip on throughout
• A truly personalised celebrant-led ceremony, featuring the anecdotal, humorous account of their love story and so much laughter!
• Big tasty canapés from keeping any hanger at bay
• A giant inflatable helter-skelter slide…for the adults 🎪
• Two bars from - one inside the marquee and horsebox outside - because nobody’s having fun when they’re queuing
• Live music all day - gorgeous acoustic sessions from in the day and the high energy in the evening
• Surprise speeches from both brides that included countless funny anecdotes that still make me smile today
• An interactive, personalised dessert station from

// Hello! // Turns out it’s been 2 years and 11 months since my face appeared here on the grid 🤦🏻‍♀️ So here it is 🙋🏻‍♀️ I’m Hannah, business owner and lover of laid back, beautiful, fun and meticulously organised outdoor weddings👌🏻

I say meticulous and I mean it; I pride myself on attention to detail and quality, and have it on good authority from many industry suppliers that the way we work is a cut above the rest (I’ll pay you all later 😉)

For over 7 years I’ve not only been planning fabulous outdoor weddings, but working with land owners to create, market and manage some of the most sought-after outdoor wedding venues in Bedfordshire. That’s on top on a 17 year corporate executive career that furnished me with the problem solving, business, finance and relationship management skills that allow me to give you a top tier professional service. I know my stuff and I’m a safe pair of hands 🤲🏼

Serious business aside, my magic ingredients are humour, warmth, passion, energy and drive. I love to laugh and people are what makes me tick. I’ll put you at ease and make your planning journey exciting, fun, inclusive and easy! I’ll also nurture collaborative relationships with your wedding suppliers so we work like a slick, cohesive team, rather than a bunch of separate suppliers who rocked up to work in a field. The feedback I receive from couples and suppliers about how much they love working with us is what makes my heart sing 🫶🏻

Aside the wedding things, I’m obsessed with Italy and go every year. I love strong coffee and good wine in equal measure, Japanese food (especially tuna sashimi 🍱) and I LIVE for Spring & Summer - long warm days anywhere outdoors, especially in my garden🪴

Curious to find out more? Need more convincing that I’m the wedding wing-woman for you? Have a peruse of the glorious images and fabulous feedback from our prior weddings on the grid and then pop me a DM to chat!

// A & J 🤍 // The utterly lovely A&J signed up for our ‘Middle Ground’ package 10 months before their big day, securing them our wing-woman guidance and direction throughout their planning journey, site/structure/power & seating plans, and our event management services during setup and on the big day.

When we kicked off their planning all we had was a very large guest list, three tipis and a field full of cows 🐄 With their appetite for DIY, their amazing, helpful family & friends and some of our favourite recommended suppliers we helped them couple achieve an incredible relaxed, festival style day that really maximised their budget. We even managed to organise a dry, warm and sunny day in September 😎 Here’s what they had to say 🫶🏻

“Me and my wife worked with Hannah and her amazing team for our wedding in September 23. She was absolutely superb from start to finish and was extremely thorough to help make our day absolutely perfect. Honestly could not recommend enough, she worked with our budget and provided lots of great suppliers to help with that. On the day her and her team ran the reception amazingly and meant we could just enjoy ourselves and not worry about anything. If you are on the fence about going with F&F, don’t even hesitate!”

If you’re planning a Tipi wedding at home, at an outdoor venue or in a friend or farmers field then get in touch! We’ve a variety of options to support you, from advice to full planning. Cow herding expertise also now part of our standard event management package 🐮🤠😆
