Wow what a weekend. I had the privilege of attending the coronation of King Charles III at Westminster abbey on Saturday and then to finish off the weekend I got to attend the coronation concert in Windsor with my best friend.

I am so fortunate to have these opportunities but this weekend will certainly be up there at the top of my ‘once in a life time experience’ list.

Thank you for the coronation outfit. It was perfect.

There is nothing as special as a moment alone to regroup and enjoy the sunset after your wedding.

Love getting feedback like this! Such a lovely couple to work for. It was my privilege to be part of their big day.

Some of my couples this year have smashed it when it comes to evening lighting. Such an important part of styling a wedding in your garden or any open space.

More guidance on evening lighting to follow…

We’re now into October and I’m only just getting round to posting about the weddings I’ve had the pleasure of planning or managing this year.

I don’t know about other wedding suppliers but 2022 was definitely a hit the ground running one.

This lovely couple were my last covid postponement. After 3 years of planning and multiple rescheduled dates I finally had the pleasure of managing their big day at back in May.

I always get nervous when a couple wants to light sparklers and give them to 100 people in a reasonably small space, but this time it went like a dream, even though hardly ever does anyone look in the same direction when it’s time for a photo. Too much excitement I guess!

A beautiful garden, a beautiful wedding and a beautiful couple.

What a privilege to not only help L&B plan their wedding, but also to be there on the day itself to manage it for them and see it unfold into their dream day.

What an experience. So pleased to be able to share some behind the scenes pictures of the Masterchef semi final that was aired last night.

Middle temple is a stunning venue. The hall is so grand and the design exquisite. I was extremely fortunate to be invited to be a part of this in support of the Royal British Legion.

Food wasn’t bad either 😆

We are seriously looking for either a male model, or a model couple, but this picture from Craig Payne Photography is worth sharing on its own!!!!

Hi everyone,
Do any of my past or future wedding couples fancy posing for a few pics at the stunning Bysshe Court Barn for a styled photo shoot this Sunday?
The booked in 'groom' has tested positive so Taylored Weddings is looking for a new real life couple to step in for the day? We've got lots of suppliers on board, the working Farm has some fantastic backdrops and your dresses/suits/hair/makeup is all waiting for you... along with tasty food!
Bysshe Court Barn is in Horley near Felbridge, the shoot is this Sunday and I'll be photographing. Drop me a DM if you'd like more information :)
Why have I chosen this photo? Because the bride, Shannon, was a school teacher and had her reception at the Farm last year. She wanted a fun pic of her and a dinosaur on her wedding day to show her primary school class and this was the result. Apparently the photo was a huge success with the children :)

Such a pleasure to work with Karen Glover Graphics on this. She was very patient with me, especially as there was so much content that needed checking and proof reading before print.

I’d definitely recommend her.

Taylored Weddings asked me to produce a Wedding Workbook Planning guide to get the best out of planning your wedding. Together Lisa and I produced a 120 page Wiro-bound document.

Happy Mother’s Day!

Whether you’re a birth mother, step mother, adoptive mother, carer, grandmother, a woman who is a role model, a social worker, teacher, emergency service worker, the list goes on. Today we celebrate the women who care, whether that is for their own children or others.

I also can’t let today go by without a massive shout out to the wonderful florists of this country. The busiest day of the year and most of them are mothers themselves. WELL DONE to you, I hope you’re all now putting your feet up with a well earned glass of wine!

Availability for wedding day managements services this year is now limited, other than a few dates in August I am pretty much fully booked.

I do have my diary open for 2023 though so reach out if you are looking for someone to assist you with pulling together those last minute details or to help you manage on the big day itself.

Have you planned your own wedding to perfection but now you're worried about how you will manage on the day? Don't fall at the final hurdle. Sussex Wedding Planner Lisa Evans will ensure the day itself runs exactly how you imagine.

What does 2022 have in store for you? I love this image by , not only is it a beautiful wedding picture, but it speaks to me so much more.

Buzbee the beautiful barn owl from spreads his wings as he takes to the skies. I love this because it could be any one of us.

Looking into the future, spreading our wings, and with our eyes wide open and our heads held high, we take off to whatever is next on our journey of life.

We may not always reach the destination that we first look for, we may not even know what that destination is, but going on the journey to find out is part of the fun. We shouldn’t get disheartened if we don’t make the end, the end isn’t always the biggest achievement and the end can always move for the better. What we learn, and the people we meet along the way will help us to grow and we’ll become better for it.

Thought I’d get in early today!

What a year, again…. This time last year we all sat in hope that 2021 would be better, and in some ways yes it was.

The wedding industry year started slow, painful and uncertain but ended run off its feet!

I want to take this opportunity to congratulate my fellow wedding suppliers who have gone above and beyond this year to make peoples weddings happen, and happen to their normal high standards. I’ve seen people tired, stressed and in tears over what has been a very stressful time but I’ve heard nothing but great reviews and happy customers.

Let’s hope that 2022 is a little more settled and prosperous for us all…

I couldn’t let the year finish without re-sharing this picture. A picture from one of the most memorable experiences of my life. Not many people can say they have made Christmas puddings with our amazing Queen and her family.

that I will share this every year for many years to come.

Did you get something sparkly for Christmas?

The rings from and bridal accessories from were the most beautiful addition to this shoot. Who doesn’t like a bit of sparkle at Christmas, in fact not just at Christmas…. All year round!

I have wanted to share images from this magical Christmas wedding shoot for weeks but what I thought was going to be a quiet month, turned out to be far from quiet so it is now Christmas Eve which means it's now or never!

There are so many amazing images from the shoot captured by Teri from , that it will probably take me until next Christmas to get them all out but for now, here are a few of my festive faves. Organising this is definitely one of my highlights of the year!

What an amazingly talented group of Wedding suppliers that I had the privilege to work with. Pulling this magnificent wedding together in a matter of weeks wasn't easy but with such talented people on my team, how could we not make it work.

I have been so busy recently that I have not had the chance to post the video and images from the Christmas Wedding photoshoot I organised at Alexander House Hotel & Utopia Spa back in October.

Tessa at Timeless Videography has done a beautiful job at pulling every part of this shoot together into a 3 minute clip. You wouldn't think that it took 20+ people 12 hours on the day to make this happen, that's without the hours of work that has gone in beforehand, she has made it look effortless.

I am extremely lucky to be able to work with some of the most talented local wedding suppliers, together we can pull off even the most complicated of set ups in a very short space of time.

I will be following this over the next few weeks with some of the images captured by Teri V Photography, which are also the most beautiful I have ever seen.

Still in love with this shoot! Well worth the stress of capturing it to see it featured in November.

Last night I had the pleasure of attending the RBL . It was the most exceptional experience, certainly one I will never forget.

Thank you Claire Pulman Photography for this beautiful Poppy image taken at the Poppy field wedding shoot earlier in the year.

I am so pleased to share that the Poppy field shoot I organised earlier in the year was published today in Your Sussex wedding magazine.

We had such big plans for this shoot, but the weather didn’t agree. Even so, nothing was going to stop me and my dedicated group of wedding suppliers from making this happen… Even if it was on a much smaller scale.

Those who know me will know that this time of year is really important to me. I’m so pleased that County Wedding Magazines saw my passion and agreed to share my little piece of remembrance.

I will be sharing more images and captions from this shoot over the coming weeks.

This time last year I couldn’t have been in a more different position.

Glaring into the coming 12/18 months with nothing but nervous couples looking to postpone their wedding, and no new enquiries at all.

I’m now looking into next year thinking how can I physically fit more in. 🤣 Some months are completely booked and others are not far off.

I can now go confidently into the winter knowing that I am going to make a massive difference to the wedding day of some amazing couples.

If you are getting married next year, and you haven’t yet looked into a wedding day manager then let’s chat!

Don’t worry, this isn’t how I look at the start of a wedding day, thank you to SMP Weddings - Photography for capturing me at work, even if I had been on my feet nearly 12 hours already on the most humid day of the year 🤣

Another amazing review to share. Thank you it was an absolute pleasure to be there for you on your wedding day!

12/09/2021

What a weekend. It has been amazing. It was an absolute privilege to manage the wedding day of the G&M on Saturday.

I had the most fun I think I’ve ever had at a wedding that I haven’t been a guest at. So welcoming, relaxed and the most beautiful people inside and out!

Then to follow it up with a wedding fair to the sell the Wedding Planning Made Simple on Sunday!

I’m so lucky to be able to do what I do!

Welcome to autumn! It seems I totally missed 1st September yesterday but I’m here now, albeit a day late 🤣.

Good luck to all of those September brides.

What an AMAZING venue Trading Boundaries is… I had the pleasure of joining them today at their first ever wedding open day and the whole place looked beautiful.

The designs inside the venue as well as the views outside it, are just the perfect combination. If you’re looking for something a little different, or something with some real character this is definitely for you!

I am so pleased to now be associated with such a hidden treasure right on our doorstep!
