✨ Exciting or exhausting? ✨

Wedding planning is supposed to be fun, this is a once in a lifetime experience for you & if it’s not fun then it’s ok to ask for help.

Family members are always happy to get involved and help when asked. Be aware though that this can come with conflicting opinions and not everyone will be on the same page as you.

A wedding planner is always on your team, fighting your corner and having your back. I can steer you in the right direction and I can also tell you if you’re headed in the wrong one and why.

If you feel like you need a little extra help with your plans I will happily be on your team ❤️

✨ How to focus on the moments ✨

Weddings are busy, high energy events that can fly past in the blink of an eye. It’s important to remember to stop and look around you throughout the day to see the smiles, the memories being made and your loved ones all around you.

I can help remind you to stop and take a breath while cleaning your mind of stresses and worries to let you really be in the moment ❤️

✨ Prioritise numbers ✨

Your guest count is not something you leave until last. This figure can affect your budget in a massive way.

It can affect your venue options, catering costs and even the size of the cake you may need.

This is one of the key things in keep in mind from day one ❤️

✨ Wedding planning, is it exciting or overwhelming? ✨

Wedding planning though stressful is a magical time full of excitement and anticipation for the next chapter of your lives. Together you can create something beautiful and meaningful.

Wedding planning is meant to be exciting and not too overwhelming. You’ve probably never planned a wedding before and it’s a big deal so it’s ok to ask for help or guidance from someone with a little more experience. This could be friends and family or someone in the wedding industry such as planners, venue staff and photographers.

How are you finding it? ❤️

✨ Finishing touches ✨

Little details are so important on your wedding day and couples don’t usually have the time or desire to check all the little details to ensure they are perfect. Neatly folded napkins, all candles are lit, favours are in the right locations and the grooms speech is hidden under his dinner plate.

These little details are just one stress we take away from you on your big day allowing you to relax knowing everything is in safe hands.

✨ Unforgettable moments ✨

As a wedding planner my goal is to create a day where you can truly FEEL the magic of every moment. It’s easy to get caught up in the details with guest lists, table settings and timelines to worry about but at the end of it all, what truly matters most are the memories you’ll carry in your heart forever. Your wedding isn’t just about how it looks, it’s about how it feels.

My goal is to handle the details so you can focus on what really matters - the love, the joy and the people who matter most to you. This is your day, let’s create a celebration that’s not only beautiful but full of meaning, moments and memories you’ll cherish forever. ❤️

✨ The importance of colour ✨

When curating the perfect wedding colour scheme we start by looking at the colours that the couple are drawn to. It could be their favourite colours, colours that have meaning to them or just colours that make their hearts happy.

We then look at the varying shades of their chosen colours to find options that work together. This then creates the perfect colour scheme individual to them as a couple.

In this design we went with lavender, for its romantic beauty. What colour would you choose and why?

✨ Happy Guests, Happy Day! ✨

Your wedding day is all about celebrating love, but let’s not forget your guests are a big part of the magic! Keeping them happy ensures your celebration is as memorable for them as it is for you.

From the moment they arrive, thoughtful touches make all the difference—whether it’s a welcome drink, clear signage to guide them, or a cozy space to mingle.

Here are a few tips:
🌟 Provide plenty of food and drink (no one likes waiting too long for dinner!).
🌟 Create a fun, seamless flow of events to keep energy high.
🌟 Offer options for all ages and needs—like quiet spaces, kids’ activities, or a dancefloor playlist everyone can enjoy.

When your guests feel cared for, the atmosphere becomes electric, setting the stage for a truly unforgettable celebration. After all, a happy crowd is the heart of a perfect party!

Let’s plan a day your guests will be raving about for years. 💕

✨ Indoor or Outdoor Ceremony? ✨

Choosing the perfect spot for your “I do’s” can be tricky—especially with unpredictable British weather! Some venues offer both indoor and outdoor options, but planning ahead can feel like a gamble.

Outdoor ceremonies can be absolutely stunning, but keep in mind that the location might need to change at the last minute if the weather turns and threatens to spoil your moment.

For Laura’s big day, she chose an indoor ceremony, so we didn’t need a backup plan. This allowed us to focus on her ‘Plan A’, transforming the space into her dream setting—every detail exactly as she envisioned.

Where would you say “I do”? 🌿✨

✨The magic of timeless pastels for your dream day ✨

There’s something so enchanting about pastel hues—they’re soft, romantic, and effortlessly timeless. For this design, we chose pastels to create a dreamy, elegant atmosphere that will never go out of style. These delicate shades add a touch of beauty and charm that will still feel magical in the years to come.
