‘Brilliant, godsend, mind-reader, personable, and caring are only a few of the words to describe the amazing Louisa. Planning a Norfolk wedding from the US can be a challenge in itself and Louisa ensured that every step of our journey with her was a smooth one. We hired Louisa for day-of coordination and she delivered more than I could have ever imagined. I had a makeup artist/hair-stylist fall through a few weeks before the wedding and she quickly provided me with a list of artists. Within a few short hours I had booked with Stephanie Alexandra Bridal and she was absolutely amazing!

We had a small group and Louisa blended in seamlessly. She was part of the family, all the guests enjoyed their interaction with her - many came up to us later letting us know how much they enjoyed her company. Before walking solo down the aisle Louisa was there to hold my hand and calm my nerves before entering the room. She truly is a treasure.

Louisa checked on all guests during prep, ceremony, and reception. She made sure the groom and I had everything we needed and she allowed us to fully enjoy the day. She was an absolute joy to work with and I’d highly recommend Louisa to anyone looking to hire a highly-skilled and kind wedding planner. Mahalo plenty Louisa!!’

Thank you Meg & James 🥰

This is me!

I’m a huge believer that a wedding planner who brings a touch of silliness and fun to the planning process can add a special touch to your wedding journey. It’s all about finding someone who not only understands the importance of the day but also knows how to make it enjoyable and memorable for you and your guests. Having a planner with a sense of humor can make the whole experience more relaxed and enjoyable.

Not only am I trustworthy, experienced & knowledgable in all areas of weddings but I also am unapologetically me. I love to laugh, smile and will always have fun!

So if a fun, personable & relaxed wedding is top of your list then get in touch and we can discuss how I can help you at whatever stage of your planning journey you are at 🌿

🌟 Welcome, lovely people! 🌟 Whether you’re a new follower or an old friend, I’m thrilled to have you here on this journey. Let’s share laughter, inspiration, and an abundance of love. Thank you for being a part of this wonderful community.

My name is Louisa and I love planning beautiful & stylish weddings in the countryside.

I specialise in marquees, tipis, barns & country house weddings many of which are ‘dry hire’ venues.

Surrounded by breathtaking landscapes, rustic charm, and the tranquility of wide-open spaces, countryside weddings offer a magical backdrop for love to bloom.

There’s something so enchanting about the simplicity and authenticity of celebrating amidst fields, forests, and rolling hills. It’s a chance to escape the hustle and bustle of city life and immerse oneself in the serenity of nature, creating unforgettable memories that resonate with warmth and joy.

So if you are on your exciting Wedding Planning journey and would like to discuss how I can help you along the way, then get in touch today. I’m still taking bookings for 2024 and 2025 weddings 🌿

Ps Huge thank you to the incredible for capturing me (& Millie the dog) in our happy place!

It’s no secret that Im a huge fan of barn wedding venues!

Why?
The stunning exposed beams and character that fill the room make this barn in particular feel so authentic, cosy and perfect for your wedding. Add some twinkly lights to create the most romantic setting or bring in some florals to complement the space with beautiful seasonal colours.
Depending on the style and size of the barn there are a variety of decor options to elevate the space and make your wedding personable to you. Rustic, boho, modern, natural…. The choice is yours!

In the U.K. we are so lucky to have many beautiful barns available to you for your wedding day. Some may be hired on a completely ‘dry hire’ basis and others may come as a full package with everything you could possible need included in the hire price.

But dry hire or not, I always recommended hiring a Wedding Planner who specialises in barn weddings to help.

The advice, knowledge and experience I can bring to your wedding is invaluable. Helping you navigate through the planning journey, choosing the right suppliers that fit your wedding & venue, saving you money, coordinating all suppliers…. The list goes on!

If you are getting married in a barn and would like some assistance with your planning then do get in touch 🌿

What a beauty 🌿

I love the green touches to this understated elegant marquee wedding

The hanging floral installation makes a wonderful addition to the ivory ceiling tying in beautifully with the countryside setting outside.

Bringing touches of the green to the tables is 👌
Fresh, crisp and incredibly stunning!

A fantastic day was had by all!

Don’t forget to book your wedding planner for your countryside wedding….. even if you have planned the wedding yourself it’s paramount that you have a professional like Louisa May Weddings to hand all your spreadsheets too and manage the day for you so you or your family don’t have to!

You should be enjoying every second of the day 🥂🌿

🎶 Rain rain go away, come again another day! 🎶

BUT if it does happen to rain on your wedding day….. embrace it and have fun!

If you have booked me as your wedding planner you won’t have to worry about anything as I will always have a plan B if your wedding is outside, I will make sure umbrellas are at the ready and I’ll look after your spare shoes when your first pair get a bit wet!
But most importantly I will be there for you and your guests to ensure you all have THE BEST DAY, rain or no rain ☔️

The bride approached me with a very clear vision of how she wanted her wedding to look.
Reds and pinks were on the agenda with an abundance of glam! 🩷♥️

The venue was booked but S&G needed a planner to take over all of the admin and bring their vision to reality.
They booked my ‘Full Plan’ service (minus venue searching- as this wasn’t needed).

I carefully curated the wedding of their dreams, bringing my knowledge and experience to the table to ensure the process was fun and the day was incredible!!

I really enjoy planning weddings from start to finish! I appreciate that many couples have already found their dream venue and a couple of suppliers they are keen to work with. This is no problem at all! All my services are bespoke to you and the level of support you require. One size certainly doesn’t fit all!

If you are on your wedding planning journey but could do with a helping hand, then you can get in touch via my website and we can go from there 🤩

Did you know I specialise in Countryside Weddings?

This doesn’t necessarily mean they are all ‘rustic, natural & earthy’ weddings.
Yes some are, but i also love bringing touches of luxury & glam to the day. It’s all about the setting and natural beauty of the countryside.
Rolling hills, stunning views and beautiful gardens make the countryside a perfect backdrop for your special day.

So if you are dreaming of your countryside wedding, perhaps in a barn, marquee, tipi, country house or one of our regions many stunning wedding venues, then I would say Louisa May Weddings could be the perfect planning partner to bring your vision to life 🌿

Is it cake? (Great programme btw- my kids are obsessed!)

Here are a few top tips for getting the most out of your wedding cake 🍰

1. What’s the cake going on? Cake stand? Wooden slice?
Check with whoever is making your cake if they have something if not you may need to hire /buy something.

2. Placement of cake is important. You don’t want it right in the way of where all your wedding guests will be. No one needs to be responsible for knocking that over 🙈

3. Consider the temperature of the room and sunlight. Sometimes a cake may need to be placed in the fridge until the wedding breakfast to keep it cool! Don’t put in direct sunlight!

4. Who is bringing the cake knife? Some caterers may provide this but always double check this if you don’t want to bring one in.

5. Style your cake- fake or real flowers? If having real flowers then make sure your florist is aware so they can bring some especially for the cake.

6. A few of my couples like to serve the wedding cake as part of their wedding breakfast dessert. If you want to do this then make sure you factor in a time before the meal to cut the cake.

7. Want to save some cake and take home? No problem, just let your caterers know and they can keep some of the cake safe. If you are having your wedding at a ‘dry hire’ venue then I recommend bringing some cling film to wrap up the cake and keep fresh for longer.

8. Don’t fancy a traditional wedding cake? No problem at all….. this year some of my couples have chosen a cheese tower or pavlova as an alternative option and they are going to look AMAZING!

Here is an image of the delicious cake from Z&A’s wedding in the summer. It tasted just as good as it looks!

Getting married in a church?

Here are just a handful of my top tips for a church wedding ⬇️

🤍Visit the church ahead of your wedding with your florist to discuss decor and styling.
🤍If you are wanting the bells ringing, then check with your church as this needs to be booked in advance.
🤍 Double check if your videographer has permission to film the wedding inside the church.
🤍 Reserve the front two rows either side of the aisle for your bridesmaids/grooms men and immediate family.
🤍 Hand held fans are a welcome addition on a hot day- I haven’t come across many (if any) church’s with air con!
🤍 Ask one of your bridesmaids to have a small bottle of water nearby for you, just in case you get a dry mouth.
🤍 Don’t forget to print off extra order of services for the vicar, organist, choir and ofcourse yourself and your husband/bride .
🤍Tissues on standby…. Just incase those tears come.
🤍 Take your time walking down the aisle, savour the moment and enjoy!
🤍Book a wedding planner like myself so you don’t have to worry about anything other than having the best day of your life!

Comfy shoes!!

Oh yes, I’m all for this.

100% wear those beautiful wedding shoes during the day but if you are anything like me, don’t forget those all important comfy dancing shoes 💃🏻

You will be on that dance floor having the time of your life with your best friends and family. No need to go bare foot when your feet start to hurt…..:

Keep it stylish with a pair of bridal flip flops or custom made trainers- perfect 👌

The little personal touches that you bring to your wedding is what really makes your wedding stand out amongst others.

I love how Jess & Ed had this custom made welcome sign made by a good friend. Incorporating a map of where different parts of the wedding will be taking place. A beautiful welcome to the guests and also a great way to communicate the plan for the day ahead!

The couple have a toddler so it was important to them that children were catered for. How cute is this chalk table from ! It also came with different coloured chalks. A brilliant idea for the wedding breakfast to keep children entertained just as much as the adults!

Garden games are a great addition to a ‘garden marquee’ wedding. We hired a section from the fab Theresa . These were a big hit with all guests throughout the whole day and super fun!

When I work with couples and their weddings I always try to incorporate parts of their personalities to their day so that their wedding is a true reflection of who they are as a couple.
I always say…. No idea is a bad idea! It may just need adapting slightly to work within the day but nothing is impossible!
