"Blogging, meetings, and organising today its been a bit of a whirlwind!

Desk is reset and ready for tomorrow.

Who else finds that a tidy space = a tidy mind?

25/02/2025

Who can believe its the last week of February,?
So whats the week got in store for me.....

Organising

The dreaded store room, it needs organising. my storeroom, well Martin's mancave, which i took over off last year, is not in the best state after creating all those wonderful decor packages, it needs a bit of a reset, so that's on my to do list for this week, its not my favourite task so will probably keep getting put to the back of the list lol

Planning

A new exciting project which I can't spill all the details just yet, but it's just a little bit of what i love eeeeeeeek. Stay tuned for more updates!
I've got planning meetings with a bit of brainstorming to finalise details on current projects, but that will probably be more coffee, cake and catching up than work though lol

Networking

This is a big one on my to-do list this week, building strong relationships, dedicating time to connect with fellow professionals, ensuring we bring the best to our clients.

March is just around the corner, who's looking forward to a bit of spring sunshine like we have this morning so we can get out there and do some gardening. I know i could do it now, but i dont like the cold lol

21/02/2025

Following on from yesterday’s Day in the Life, today’s to-do list is a mix of work and life, because even us wedding consultants have to be an adult now and then, don't we? Lol

Anyway, I’ll be updating some exciting wedding projects (turns out all that scrolling yesterday was very useful for today’s task!), so i can add the finishing touches to a decor board. We all know how i feel about the finishibg touches, then I need to tackle some wedding admin, website updates, and CRM building. I know theres a lot there, but little and often is the way to go ( fingers crossed, i get something done)

And............in between all that, i should fit in a walk, have my car windscreen replaced and a shopping delivery, it's all very glamorous, I know!

I'll let you know how it all went later. What’s on your to-do list today?"

20/02/2025

A Day in the Life of a Wedding Consultant… (sort of!)

I woke up today with some very grand plans of what i needed to do, i had emails, projects, creating, and a very important mission to sort out everything i needed to sort out. Fabulous....

Then reality hit…

☕ First, coffee (obviously).

🎩 Then, i took a deep dive into the closet to sort the very serious task of choosing an outfit, i wanted that outfit that says “put-together” but also that im ready to roll up my sleeves and wrestle with mundane stuff” well those that know me, will know this never goes well, so casual it is I'm wrapped up in my hoodie trackies and all, so casual it is, excuse "I'm cold" lol

📦 Spent an unreasonable amount of time moving boxes from one place to another place achieving what I can only assume is a professional level of Tetris skills.

💻 Attempted to update my to do list. But accidentally added a dozen or more things instead. 🤷‍♀️

🍫 Rewarded myself with chocolate, because…well just because lol.

And now, here we are. 5.45pm

Did I accomplish everything? Absolutely not. 🤔

Did I give it my best? Again Absolutely not,... why? Because at some point, I got distracted scrolling wedding inspiration (oops). I do love wedding inspo ❤️ ❤️

Tell me I’m not the only one whose day never quite goes to plan?!

I've had so much fun creating these colour mood boards, i just love them all.

Choosing the perfect colour palette is one of the biggest decisions when planning your wedding, it sets the tone for everything from florals to décor and even the overall vibe of your big day! 💍✨

For 2025, we have a gorgeous mix of romantic neutrals, earthy tones, bold moody hues, and fresh pastels. Whether you love soft champagne tones, deep luxurious shades, or nature-inspired greens, there’s a trend to match every couple’s unique style.

💫 Soft & Romantic Neutrals – Champagne, Latte, Blush & Antique Rose for timeless elegance.

🌿 Earthy & Organic Tones – Terracotta, Sage, Rust & Olive for a natural, rustic feel.

🎭 Moody & Luxe Shades – Deep Teal, Merlot & Midnight Blue for a bold, dramatic look.
