I am beyond lucky to be a preferred wedding planner at these incredible venues. I’m obsessed with venues - so much so I help venues create magical experiences for their clients with my sister company .

The rehearsal dinner.

This traditional pre-wedding event that hails from the United States. A chance to gather and appreciate the importance of the wedding celebration and elongate celebrations. Although this is popular in the US, these much-loved soirées form very much part of all the weddings I plan here in the South West of England.

Lauren and Matt’s rehearsal dinner was pure magic. Friends and family shared heartfelt toasts, reminisced about old memories and firmly made new ones.

Cheers to love, laughter and a lifetime of happiness!

My multi-day wedding experience, the Buckingham Collection, covers the planning and design of this special celebration. I’d love to hear from you if you’re planning to host your wedding over multiple days.

My last wedding was dressed for two ceremonies. Yep, you read correctly - two!

The weather in dear old Blighty has been nothing short of temperamental all year and we don’t seem to have the foggiest what it’s going to grace us with from one hour to the next.

This provides planners and suppliers with some added pressure on the day. But hey, that’s what we’re there for - to make stuff happen. This wedding was no exception.

My lovely couple had their heart set on an outdoor ceremony with the majestic Italianesque trees in the guests eye line. However, the weather was being very British with rain showers and menacing clouds covering the skyline all morning. As an English countryside wedding planner you have to have a plan B. Ours was to use the stunning drawing room at . Rachel and her team at adorned the fireplace with a stunning floral elegance. It took my breath away and resembled a scene from one of Queen Charlotte’s regency balls in Bridgerton.

We made the call only 30 minutes from the 2pm ceremony time and moved the display and chairs to outside. I cannot tell you how incredible everyone on the team was. We went into fully focused mode. I was so excited that my couple were going to get what they wanted all along.

It started to rain as the string quartet played the processional, for a moment I thought it we’d have to abort but by some kind of miracle the shower stopped, the sun arrived and the bride walked down the aisle beaming to her man. Perfection!

Having a wedding planner there for you at every twist and turn of planning and on the day just provides you with so much reassurance. Things happen that are out of control but it’s how it’s dealt with that counts. I couldn’t be happier for L&M and I’m so grateful to for content creating with her beautiful images on the day.

If you’re engaged and looking to get married in the South West of England. I’d dearly love to hear from you.

I love an ‘at-home’ wedding and this glorious day was no exception.

L&P held their wedding reception at their family estate. A glorious Georgian house as a backdrop with a beautiful marquee placed in the grounds. The epitome of English elegance, the day started with a special church ceremony in the Cotswolds followed by a classic car rally to the reception.

I’d love to hear from you if you’re planning a celebration at home. There’s so much to consider. I know I’m biased but hiring a planner is so important so you and your guests can fully enjoy the day from start to finish.

Behind every unforgettable bridal look, there’s a story of carefully chosen accessories that add that special sparkle.

As a wedding planner, I’ve seen firsthand how the right pieces can transform a beautiful gown into a masterpiece that reflects the bride’s unique personality and style.

Whether it’s a vintage veil that whispers tales of old-world romance, or a modern, pair of earrings that shouts boldness and beauty, accessories are the key to completing your bridal look.

Remember, it’s not just about adding to your look, but about finding those pieces that feel like a natural extension of you. From the soft shimmer of a bracelet to the enchanting bejewelled glimmer of a headpiece, these are the finishing touches that make your wedding attire not just an outfit, but a treasure trove of memories waiting to be cherished forever. Let’s make every detail count, crafting a look that’s as unforgettable as the love story it represents.

Hugh & Lauren’s family home wedding was a true highlight in my 2023 calendar. What a day! What a couple!

This wedding was absolutely full of personal details that brought this couple joy. From cousins playing the bagpipes, heartfelt speeches from so many they hold dear, food cooked over burning logs for all to see, speciality cocktails, wild and beautiful seasonal florals and nods to their individual heritage. It was just beautiful to witness it all.

Such a top team on board too…

The morning of anticipation and excitement!

Lauren, our stunning bride, remained calm and collected, surrounded by her best girls. About to marry her love, these moments are precious to look back on.

Make sure you leave enough time for this portion of the day so you can really enjoy every moment.

There's something so special about the moments before 'I do' – the laughter, the nerves, and the love that fills the air.

Something blue ✨

It’s been so lovely looking back at these stunning detail images from E&J’s special day last Spring.

Their “something blue" was more than just a tradition; it was a symbol of love, joy and happiness that guided them through the day.

💙 And oh, how it shone in all of their wedding photos captured effortlessly by my dear friend .

From the soft pastel bridal shoes, the hand drawn wedding invitations to the beautiful blooms that adorned every corner, every detail was carefully curated to compliment this soft blue colour scheme. Not forgetting the outstanding 1963 mk 2 Jaguar 3.4 in opalescent blue!

Swipe left to immerse yourself in the enchantment of this day.

A huge thank you to the talented team that worked so hard to bring everything to life on the day :

So, here's to love, tradition, and the timeless beauty of a blue colour scheme!

Oh, the Cotswolds. You have my heart.

I’m currently staying in the Cotswolds in the most idyllic, chocolate-box cottage (just think ‘The Holiday’). Although I live just down the road, it’s so important to rediscover and immerse yourself in areas nearby.

I always find staying in areas of such natural beauty helps creatively and this shoot, held at in the Cotswolds was such a beautiful collaboration.

A wonderful 10 year business birthday party!

{K I N D W O R D S} I was so touched to receive this heartfelt video testimonial from my recent client, and now friend, Elizabeth. Elizabeth and Joe married in the UK back in April with Joe native to South West England and Elizabeth hailing from New Orleans. They knew that they needed a planner who knew the area well, had great links to vendors and could be their “on the ground” person to make their dream day happen. That’s where our journey began and I’m so grateful I could be part of their wedding day. It was pure magic. Thank you @e.b.coakham for taking the time to do this. It really means the world and is so rewarding. ✨ If you’re dreaming of a UK destination wedding, I’d so love to chat to you about how I can provide you with a joyous experience from start to finish.
