What’s the best time to send out invites? 💫

For the biggest impact, the highest level of excitement generation and the cutest most memberabke time for you as a couple is to post your invites on New Year’s Eve. Skip on down to the post office together, invites in hand, meaning tour invites will land on your guests door mats around 2nd/3rd January. The idea time to create the biggest impact and excitement for your guests - starting their new year with the announcement of your wedding day! Have your RSVP date 14th February, Valentine’s Day, to keep on the love boat vibes. ❤️

Personally I like to be organised and my diary full way in advance meaning for me even if I collected up confirmed guests RSVPs months in advance this gives you extra time to arrange seating plans, coordinate diary requirements etc etc.

Here’s what to consider before creating your dream celebration under canvas.

1️⃣ The Setting – Choose a location that complements your vision and offers practical access for guests, suppliers, and facilities. A level surface and generous space are key.

2️⃣ Weather Preparedness – Luxury is in the details—ensure your marquee has quality flooring, climate control, and contingency options for unpredictable weather.

3️⃣ Power & Lighting – From ambient uplighting to crystal chandeliers, a reliable power source (often via generator) ensures everything runs seamlessly.

4️⃣ Catering Logistics – Discuss kitchen and service space requirements with your caterer in advance. A dedicated catering marquee keeps the main space pristine and elegant.

5️⃣ Guest Comfort – High-end restroom facilities, elegant walkways, and thoughtful layout planning elevate the entire guest experience.

6️⃣ Design & Styling – A marquee offers a true blank canvas. Consider statement florals, bespoke draping, and luxury table settings to define your aesthetic.

7️⃣ Timeline & Setup – Marquee builds take time. Allow adequate days for installation, styling, and final detailing to achieve a flawless finish.

A marquee wedding offers complete freedom to craft a celebration that’s uniquely yours — refined, romantic, and entirely bespoke.

💫 Expert planning ensures every element flows seamlessly, from power to petals.

Sometimes the most powerful moments are the ones just before. With care and intention, I created space for them to connect — without seeing each other — so the reveal could stay sacred but the feeling of togetherness before the big “I do” could be shared.

There’s something so magical about a marquee wedding. A blank canvas that becomes the most personal, joyful, unforgettable celebration.

But here’s the behind-the-scenes secret: it takes a whole team of amazing suppliers working in harmony to bring it to life. The caterers creating those incredible dishes 🍴, the bar keeping the glasses full, the photographer capturing every smile, and the band setting the perfect mood.

My role? To be the thread that ties it all together. I coordinate timings, keep everything flowing smoothly, and make sure the plan we’ve crafted together unfolds just as beautifully as you dreamed.

So when the day arrives, you don’t need to think about a single detail — just enjoy every magical moment.

A bride may wear the dress, but her bridesmaids carry her heart. 💕 On the most magical (and sometimes overwhelming) day of her life, they are the calming voices, the steady hands, and the joyful souls that turn moments into memories.

Here’s to the sisters, best friends, and soulmates who stand beside the bride not just for the aisle walk, but for every step of the journey. 💫

✨ 4 years today✨I forever hear my couples love stories so today I thought I’d share mine - Amy & Matthew 💛

Who would have thought that being randomly placed next to each other at a food tasting night would change my life forever. We didn’t speak again for months, until fate brought us back together during lockdown #3 (early 2021)— him in the kitchen cooking meals, me out delivering them. From there, friendship quietly grew, & then, after a whirlwind of life happening, he asked me to be his girlfriend 17.09.21, evidently I said yes.

Our first date was my famous tuna & sweetcorn pancakes, a childhood favourite of mine that he was brave enough to try. (If you haven’t tried, I urge you to do so). Our first trip away was to the Derbyshire Dales, where we watched the perfect sunset melt into the mountains. With our first family adventure “to see the Queen” with 3 kids under 9 in tow, which was when I really knew this was something special.

From FaceTimes while he is away on the rigs, to Mondays becoming our new Saturday nights due to working weddings, forever planning the next adventure, ticking off our 60 year bucket list! Our life has been & is anything but ordinary. With 3 amazing and insanely adored kids. From frustratingly living out of suitcases before we lived together - to eagerly packing one ready for our next big adventure! 🌎

We’ve travelled to some of the most beautiful places together — Maldives, Japan, Greece, Dubrovnik, Bruges, Paris and soon Tenerife & India. We’ve laughed, celebrated & made countless memories, yet as well we’ve also faced huge sadness. Losing my beloved grandma, my second mum earlier this year highlighted even more so how precious life is.

Our life is the most beautiful madness — full of adventures, sometimes laughable chaos, joy, tears, & love. When I first met Matthew, I told him I’d manifested him. And it’s true. He is everything I ever dreamt of, even as a child. 4 years on, nothing has changed — I still feel like the luckiest girl alive. I will forever believe in soulmates & love stories… because we are living proof.

My sounding advice…. “be with someone you choose to sit next to in a room full of people you know” 💛
