We’re gearing up for our next wedding (next week) which is probably our biggest to date, and it’s going to be insane!! So I wanted to share one of my all time favourites while we wait for next week!! Hehe 😝

Be equal
Be yourself
Be supportive
We’re all special, we’re all the best at what we do (don’t listen if you’re not on any of these best lists, because literally YOU ARE THE BEST!!!) and we’re all here to be ourselves. If we support each other and show kindness to all cultures, races, sexualities we’re all helping our beloved planet to be a better place.
Allowing yourself to accept kindness and love will help the community around you. We’re all learning every single day and it’s hard because each of us have our own story, but we should all listen to each others stories too. A lot of us have hard stories to tell, so don’t look at people differently if they don’t or can’t share it!!
Being a queer business and working with many many many cultures, religions, communities we have grown sooo much in a short space of time and we’ve been exposed to locations, people, communities I can only dream about. Each place and person has inspired us to grow and understand that person/community and that has been our biggest growth of not only the company but ourselves too!! We’re Matthew Oliver Weddings and we’re 100% equal!!!
HUGE, HUGE, HUGE BIG CONGRATULATIONS to Mr @bertie_matthewoliver for winning the best equality business award at @amourforums a couple of weeks ago, I couldn’t be more proud of your growth, your talent, your passion and your love for everyone around you!!! AND THIS AWARD SPEECH SHOULD BE VIRAL, because it’s 1000% inspirational.
Thanks @bytasneemalibhai for this video and @dandelioncelebrations @studiosorores for your videos too - truly appreciate it!!
Love you presenters 🥑 and miss you all!! @emilybrks @christy.barnett.london @iamloicc ❤️

Escort card wall of Royal oil paintings of guests to tell them where they’re sitting for dinner which flipped as a bar!! It also worked as a reveal so guests didn’t see the dinner setup until they got their painting!
So much fun and such a iconic wedding!!

VENUE SEARCHING IN FLORENCE - venue 5 @villacorahotel
WOW!! Is my first impression!! I was gutted last year as Bertie and my sister were invited here, while I was busy working 👎🏼, but YAY to come now 🤣
Just 15mins drive to central Florence this is A PERFECT HOME TO HOME HOTEL SOLUTION!! Service, staff, uniform is on POINT (yeah I look at this too)!! Plus the scent throughout the hotel makes you all warm and happy - look if you know you know, you know 🤓
43 rooms ✅
Pool ✅
Underground basement ✅ (no time constraints, though none of the others have either - should of said haha)
Coolest ballroom ever ✅
Okay let’s talk about this ballroom, seriously there isn’t anything like it! Love love and the murals/details everywhere is super impressive too!! Did you see the 🍑’s?
You have the option for 2 to 3 nights + buyout.
This is becoming super HARD!!! We’re going to need help at the end, 2 more coming, so stay tuned okay??!!
When in Florence post one of your favourite Florence designs!! We’ve currently had a fantastic day looking at insane venues in Florence (stories soon as you’ll be obsessed) so thought why not share this with my new favourite @nickiminaj song haha (I know)!!
So a bit of Italy and Nicki for your December day!! Thank you haha 😜
We’re actually back at this venue on Thursday ✌🏻

Beautiful dreamy Provence before we were struck 🫣
This was back in June and I can honestly (hands up) say there was no warning for this type of weather, but I feel we’ve all witnessed this this year ✌🏻❤️
We had the best team helping us take everything we could save inside. It literally was a site to be seen seeing how everyone just jumped in!! Yeah there was a minute where we were like ‘what do we do’, but then BOOM are instincts kicked in!!
Luckily we had the amazing boys of @thelondonessentials entertain the guests while we did this in less than an hour and it was all during cocktail so the guests didn’t even really realise.
Ohhh the joys of being a planner hay hahaha!!
HUGE THANK YOU TO EVERYONE THAT HELPED AND TO EVERYONES WORK THEY PUT TOGETHER AND CREATED BEFORE THE HEAVENS OPENED! It goes to show how lovely this industry is and how we all care for one another and the people we work with, so thank you -

WOW A YEAR AGO TODAY!!!
This was such an epic journey/event and what an honour it was to be there with great people and supporting an INCREDIBLE COUPLE! I can’t believe where this year has gone and the challenges we’ve had to face this last year, but just before the crazy we were able to do what we do best and create something so insane!! We love and miss you @jalsaqlawi and @ma3n11 🥰
This was the woman’s event at the beautiful @ritzcarltonalbustan in Oman!
We could have not done it without the AMAZING team behind us, we LOVE you all -
