Latitude Festival 2024 - Here I Come!
Well, today is the day! I am off to Latitude Festival where I will be coordinating in the Mind Body Zen Arena on behalf of The Zen Project.

They are the most wonderful social enterprise bringing mobile mental health and wellbeing support to schools, communities, and work places through guided Zen Sessions, events and workshops.

To find out a little more about them, head over to www.t-z-p.com and perhaps even support their crowd funder with a donation.

In the meantime, keep an eye on my stories for all things Festival; have a wonderful week, and I'll be back Tuesday!

See you soon,

The best kind of April Showers? Confetti showers!

Such a gorgeous image of Bryony and Jay at their April Wedding. Captured so beautifully by outside of St Mary's and St Giles Church in Stony Stratford.

This was my first wedding of 2024 and they had the most glorious weather - proof that Spring weddings are a wonderful thing.

So honoured to provide Bryony's bespoke dried flower bouquet too!

It's the last day of the Easter half term holiday here, so I thought I would share the spring pastel colour palette from my latest blog.

Pastel Perfection - Soft shades of blush pink, powder blue, lavender, and mint green.

This is your classic Spring/Easter colourway & still as popular as ever! I would pair this with a soft delicate texture or fabric like chiffon; then warm it up with with antique gold accents for a soft romantic aesthetic.
Think Bridgerton vibes & you're on the right track!

But what if candy hues aren't for you? Luckily my blog has some other suprising colour palettes that you may not have even considered for spring time!

If you are/were a spring wedding couple, would you go for a pastel palette or something a bit more bold?

🎵 Music! 🎶

Music is an anchor. It can intensify emotional aspects of events such as weddings like nothing else I know.

When we hear a certain song or melody that we associate with a meaningful event, not only do we remember that event, but we might also experience the emotions that we felt in that moment...

We hear music, we feel music, some people even claim to be able to see music - so understandably, there might be a little bit of pressure around choosing the right songs for your wedding day.

Head over to:

to have a read of my latest blog where I talk all about
- When you might have music on the day
- Things to consider when choosing your music

The evolution of ONE of my Christmas wreaths..

I always tell my customers their wreaths will last for ages and the lovely Heide Swift has kindly shared how hers has transformed from:

A Christmas Wreath.. To
A Burns Night Wreath... To
A Valentine's Wreath...

Now there's talk of transition to an Easter wreath!

With just a few additions this wreath will have lasted for 4 months ... Who knows how long it will go on for? 🤣👌🏾

Now that's value for money 😎

There has been a flurry of new followers on my account so I thought I should show my face again and tell you a little more about how I can help you...

Hi 👋🏾

I am Dani - the proud owner of Acorn & Oak.
I am a wedding planner, coordinator & stylist and I help busy couples like you fall back in love with wedding planning.

If you are:
Stuck for design ideas;
Finding it hard to source suppliers;
Concerned about things going wrong on the day;
or
The sheer volume of tasks and the pressure to get it right is causing you stress / anxiety...

Come and speak to me.

I will help you plan a beautiful, sentimental wedding that reflects your personal style; and is an unforgettable experience for you and all of your guests.

Having me on your team means that you can rest easily knowing that you made all of the right decisions during the planning process and everything on the day will be taken care of.

Described by one of my 2023 grooms as "a fierce ally" - I am the kind of wedding friend that every engaged couple needs on their team.

So whether you are looking for a little bit or a lot of help, drop me a message.

I can't wait to hear about it. Xx

Wedding Day Timelines...

* What time should I start getting ready?
* How long does the ceremony last?

All questions that most couples planning a wedding will have asked.

It has suggested timings & tips to help make planning less stressful & your wedding more seamless.

🥂💍Congratulations! You're engaged... So what now?

I have a feeling that there may be a few Festive, New Year & Valentine's engagements on the horizon, so I thought I would drop a little blog about it.

I will never forget the euphoria I felt when Jon proposed to me.. I think I cried for about an hour 🤷🏾‍♀️ (no suprise there)...

But what do people do after that? Some get straight into planning... Others ride the engagement wave.

No matter how long an engagement period you may be planning (My parents were engaged for 13 years & have now been married almost three times as long as that - Jon's auntie and uncle on the other hand were engaged and married within Two months - true story!)... Just know that there is no rush!

Remember your engagement is a phase of your relationship too. You don't have to think of it as a proposal and that's it... You're a fiance now baby... Enjoy that!

Pop over to my blog and read a little about enjoying your engagement period.

Or maybe there have been a few moments of nervous excitement; and now you are wondering how to move f...
