As a wedding planner, one question that I’m asked a lot by couples is what they ‘should’ be doing on their wedding day - be that to do with timings, traditions or any other part of their day. And to that I always say one thing: the only thing that you should be doing at your wedding is whatever feels right to you.

Rather than follow what’s expected of you, be guided by your personalities and design a day that suits the two of you. Whether that’s having a first look before your ceremony, having a bridal party that goes against tradition or serving pizza at your wedding breakfast. The personal touches will only make your day even more memorable for your guests, so forget tradition and focus on creating a day that truly aligns with you.

Continuing the surprises into the evening is a wonderful way to elevate guest experience and create a truly memorable day. This year, we’ve got sparklers, fireworks, champagne towers and even a secret after-party coming up 🤫

What surprises do you have in store for your guests?

This deconstructed Liz Inigo Jones] arch served as a beautiful ceremony backdrop, before being transformed into the entrance for guests to make their way through to dinner.

Focusing on an English countryside theme, we designed the florals to work with the existing foliage that was in full bloom across the house on this sunny July day.

My lovely bride Flora shared my obsession for details, and it shone through beautifully in the tablescape we designed for her and Kevin’s special day. Subtly textured linen, bespoke embroidered napkins and an abundance of taper candles, brought together by the most romantic floral arrangements from Planning, Design & Floristry].

“We've just completed what we feel was the perfect wedding for us, our family and friends. We could only achieve that via the wonderful Rachel Dalton!

I am English and my wife is Chilean. We live and work in Singapore in very busy jobs and arranging this wedding in London should, on paper, have been a complete nightmare.

Rachel provided excellent ideas and sourced fantastic suppliers that always seemed to perfectly match our vision and brief. She has a lovely, comfortable, and down-to-earth demenour that made planning meetings a pleasure rather than a chore.

Thanks Rachel for all your support and wisdom.”

The joy in this photo makes me so happy for so many reasons…

C&S began working with me in January 2020 and, as they were based in Chicago, we set about planning their English destination wedding for the following year. Of course, the world had other ideas, and what followed was a lot of uncertainty, countless calls to discuss travel restrictions and, eventually, a postponement to 2022.

I will forever be grateful for the immense amount of trust these two put in me to plan their wedding from afar at a time when they weren’t able to travel over. They booked the beautiful Firle Place & Firle Estate] without seeing it in person, and put unwavering trust in their suppliers to deliver the vision they had for their day.

The happiness in this photo isn’t just wedding day joy, it’s 2.5 years in the making, and my goodness it was worth the wait 🙌🏼🤍

Happy New Year! And a heartfelt hello 👋🏼 to any new followers around here. I’m Rachel, owner and lead planner at Rachel Dalton Weddings. I’ve been working in weddings and events for almost a decade now, and it’s safe to say that I completely adore what I do.

I work with a limited number of couples each year, providing bespoke, full service wedding planning from the moment you get engaged until the day you say ‘I do’. Just like the clients that I work with, every one of my weddings is entirely unique, although you’ll likely share my love of timeless styling, purposeful details and celebrations that evoke a truly unforgettable atmosphere.

As for me? I love travel, home interiors and great food and wine. I live in a quiet corner of the English countryside, and it’ll come as no surprise that I love nothing more than hosting guests, entertaining and throwing a damn good party!

If you think we’d be a great fit, get in touch to schedule in an initial consultation and have a chat about your plans. I’d love to hear from you!

The great British weather is notoriously hard to predict BUT when it does play ball, the result is incredible 🙌🏼 E&D said their vows in the beautiful North Cadbury Court] gardens and it was such a wonderful ceremony.

A lot of planning needs to go into an outdoor ceremony and we’ll always have a plan B (and probably a plan C, D and E too!). But on a gloriously sunny day, an outdoor ceremony is truly spectacular!

A&D's heartfelt ceremony at Syon House, right before guests made their way through to the iconic Grand Conservatory for an incredible evening reception.

Often it's the smallest details that can have the biggest impact on your wedding day, and your on-the-day stationery is the perfect example of that.

A thoughtful welcome booklet for your guests, a personalised order of service or, like this design from LouPaper Wedding Stationery] , a beautifully considered vow booklet to hold onto long after you say ‘I do’.

Happy New Year!

I’m back in the office this week after a much-needed rest over the festive season, and I couldn’t be more excited for the incredible year of weddings ahead.

There's been a flurry of new followers on here over Christmas and the New Year so, for those of you that are new, hello! 👋🏼 I'm Rachel, owner of Rachel Dalton Weddings.

I currently split my time between Hampshire and Lincolnshire (go ahead and ask me how that came about 🤪), but I'm lucky enough to plan weddings throughout the whole of the UK.

My approach to wedding planning is honest, collaborative and, most importantly, fun! I'm detail driven, highly organised and I aim to make planning your wedding a completely enjoyable experience.

I have a limited amount of availability remaining for 2022 weddings, and my diary is open for 2023 clients looking for full wedding planning and design. Get in touch to schedule in an initial chat - I'd love to hear from you!

Playing around with colour schemes is such a fun part of event design and this neutral toned combination has to be one of my favourites. Warm tones like this work beautifully year-round, but I think they’re particularly perfect for this autumnal time of year… would you agree?

At the heart of everything I do is the people. It’s the laughs, the hugs, the happy tears, the overdue conversations, the impromptu speeches and the carefree dancing.

It’s everything that 2020 tried to take away from us and honestly, it’s what made this summer’s weddings even more incredible. Weddings in a post-lockdown world just hit differently, and it’s been an absolute joy to be a part of so many celebrations this year.

I’m enjoying a quiet few weeks before gearing up for my final wedding of the year in December… then it’s full steam ahead on 2022 and the wonderful celebrations that are in the pipeline 🙌🏼

Weddings are BACK and it’s safe to say that the season started in the most epic way possible 🙌🤍

3 days of celebrations, over 30 suppliers onsite, an abundance of stunning florals, balloons and personalised touches and incredible entertainment from start to finish. Oh, and we pulled it all off in spite of the government guidelines changing less than two weeks before the big day!

E&D, working with you both has been an absolute joy and I am so grateful to have been a part of your special day. There’s no two people that I’d rather navigate the Covid guidelines with!
