Big shout out to the band The Apollos who were just incredible, the dance floor was full all night!
The amazing Kate Godfrey Photo for the perfect snaps, and the wonderful Aulternative Weddings for the hand painted portraits of all the guests such a fun and different idea!!

Happy International Womens day!! I feel incredibly privileged and lucky to have been raised by so many strong women, the matriarchs of the family 😍
So many friends that I now class as family, champions of strength and ambition!!

Life... Completed it mate!
On Saturday I had the biggest honour and high of marrying my sister and her one and only Conor.
I've got to grow up with them ever since they got together and having the privilege of writing, and conducting their ceremony and vows is a moment I will never forget.
What a stunning couple and they are so loved, such a brilliant crowd of guests, the dancefloor was always bursting and my face hurt from smiling!
Thank you both, first and last time being bridesmaid/celebrant!!
Every happiness and good health to you both for many many years to come!!

Pride Month has come to an end but our Pride never stops.
We are blessed that we don't face prosecution in this country, but Pride is a protest and won't stop until everyone gets to sit at the table as an equal!

Thank you to the brave souls that forged the way to allow me to marry this wonderful women. I am forever grateful and forever proud. Love is Love!

BBQ, Buffet or sit down formal?
Nowadays there are a wide range of offerings for catering your big day.
Even the sit-down meals don’t have to be formal with family style sharing options per table. Get your gets interacting before the dancing starts.
Food trucks or a hog roast, are you a casual diner that wants the atmosphere to flow without having to sit down and wait on starters and mains?
Pizza party or another rendition of balmoral chicken?
What are you having on your day? Or what worked for you?

Ceilidh dancing on your day?
This is one tradition I hope never ceases.
You get to pull out your social dancing skills you were forced to learn in P.E.
As an adolescent it was excruciating when It came to finding a partner, but now we have grown into our skin, we feel our foot start tap when the accordion starts.
Weddings are one of the few places Ceilidhs come back into our lives and I for one adore getting up and giving the Gay Gordon’s a good go, what are your thoughts? Ceilidh or straight to DJ?

How do you want to remember your big day?
There is a new trend with couples being tattooed during the ceremony!
Getting either a shared symbol of meaning or the date of their wedding, sometime instead of the ring exchange, what do you think?
Something you’ve considered or is that too alternative for you?

Wedding Cakes?
Surely in this day we have said goodbye to rum-soaked fruit sponge slathered in marzipan, I do hope so.
Many couples are now fully embracing what makes them unique and that means having a cake that they like and says a lot about them a s a couple.

Tiered cakes looking traditional only to be sliced and revealing rainbow layers, or a tower of doughnuts, what are you thinking about having?
Or what did you have on your day?

I’ve seen a completely fresh beautiful take using, a bouquet of breads with butters and cheeses, what’s your thoughts?

Such a wonderful day of love and celebration for Diana and Ben's Scottish wedding. The beautiful couple tied the knot in the stunning Crieff Hydro, they made the journey all the way from Canada to include Diana's Scottish family on their special day.

Every happiness and good health to Ben and Diana in their new lives together.

Veil or No Veil that seems to be the question?

Is having a veil something you’ve thought about?
Many brides are ditching the old traditions during the ceremony but still choosing the veil, has it now become and integral part of the fashion for the day?
Or are you going for a tiara or flower crown vibe?

I had the humbling honour of being the wedding celebrant for two of my beautiful friends on Saturday.
The day was filled with love, laughter and lots and lots of Prosecco!
It was a joy to stand with you both as you committed to one another as partners for life!
To a long and Happy marriage Catrin and Chris Sheridan ❤️

Two dresses, two suits or the more traditional routes, have YOUR story told YOUR way.

Now that we have begun a new year, we get ready for our new version of normal, everything that has been cancelled or rescheduled has been promised to us in 2022, with hope, we can start to begin anew.

Don’t compromise on a day that you will remember and cherish for many years to come.

Whether you want to stand proudly with your other half and commit yourselves to each other in front of your friends and family or you want an intimate service, it is important that your story is told in your way.

Look back with a smile full of memories on a day that was truly yours.
