WONDERFUL WOMEN! // A shout out today to all the wonderful, creative and supportive women in my (professional) life - you know who you are!! #strongertogether #community

BRIDGERTON VIBES // Is anyone else watching the new ‘Queen Charlotte’ Bridgerton spin off on Netflix? Although historically loose, it’s an entertaining gallop through Regency London’s ‘ton’ during social season - and it reminded me of our beautiful Bon Ton to Beau Monde editorial that we shot as a creative project during lockdown - well, as soon as 6 people were allowed to be in a room together. You’d never guess that behind the scenes of this fabulous film shot by @Perfectmomentfilms and photographed by @robertafacciniphotography, we were taking it in turns to be in the same room and following mask and social distancing protocols - but my goodness, I remember how fun it was to be finally back creating and working together. We are so grateful to @spencer.house for agreeing to be the location for this shoot - an editorial intertwining the grandeur and opulence of 18th century London with the neoteric chic of the present day.
.
In its heyday, Spencer House - London’s finest surviving eighteenth-century town house - was the setting for numerous lavish parties, hosted by the first Earl Spencer and his wife, and attended by the cream of London’s high society, “The Ton”, derived from “le bon ton’ meaning manners or etiquette. My desire was create an editorial which would honour the rich history of the venue whilst appealing to couples from today’s global elite, and we are delighted that this work has since been featured in WedLuxe, 5 Star Wedding Blog and Mod Weddings.

Opulence a Renaissance // A fabulous evening of fine dining, exquisite floral design and innovative production all with the epic setting of the Cartoon Gallery @vamuseum . What a magnificent setting in which to catch up with so many industry friends before the madness of wedding season kicks in, and also a great opportunity to meet new people and forge new connections.

THE ULTIMATE EXCLUSIVE COUNTRY HOUSE WEDDING VENUE // Showcasing another of my favourite venues today, the magnificent Cowdray House.
.
Nestled in the rolling hills of the South Downs National Park and set within 110 acres of gardens and parkland, Cowdray House offers a magical blend of exclusivity and intimacy.
Hosting 44 guests for the weekend in the main house (with additional cottages for hire in the village), you can really kick back and relax making the most of the extensive grounds, indoor pool, outdoor pool, bowling alley, tennis court, library and drawing rooms and for your wedding itself, it can accommodate 150 guests seated in Buck Hall or for larger weddings, there's plenty of space for a marquee.
.
I'm delighted to be a recommended wedding planner at this fabulous estate - I just loved working with the @weddingsatcowdray team earlier in the year and am looking forward to supporting them for their open day in October.
.
If you'd like more details on hosting your wedding at Cowdray House, or for recommendations for other exclusive and prestigious venues which fit your specific requirements, get in touch and let us find you the perfect location for your country luxe wedding.

SUCH A BLAST // Still on cloud nine after the most incredible wedding weekend at @FShamphire @fshampshireevents with Elma and Misan and an epic team of suppliers. Can't wait to share the photos with you when the sneak peeks come back soon!
.
The Four Seasons Hampshire is the perfect combination of a luxury country estate getaway deep in the rural countryside (yet only an hour from London), with extensive grounds and the most incredible spa, with all the service standards and endless amenities that only come with a 5 star hotel - during the course of the weekend, nothing was too much trouble, every single need (client, guest and planner!) was met quietly, smoothly and efficiently and all ultimately, my couple and their 150 guests truly had the most incredible wedding weekend they could have imagined.
.
I'm so delighted to have introduced my couple to this wonderful venue and I look forward to many more weddings here in the future!
