PERFECTING THE LINE

Recently, while supporting another wedding planner, they joked about my chair straightening obsession.
We all know wedding planners love to be shown lighting candles and I can do that all day. One of my real ninja skills? Perfecting a line of chairs by eye.

Straight chairs.
Sharp eye.
The end!

FLAT LAY

Heard the term of flat lay and unsure what it means, let me explain…

A flat lay photo is a type of image where objects are arranged and photographed generally from above. They are commonly used in weddings to showcase small details.

Wedding flat lays often include items like:
• Invitations and stationery
• Jewellery - rings, necklaces and earrings
• Flowers or greenery
• Accessories like veils, shoes, or cufflinks
• Meaningful keepsakes like heirlooms or perfume bottles.

The goal is to tell a story and highlight the thoughtful details of the day in a beautiful, stylised manner. Don’t forget to set these items aside for your photographer on the wedding morning, if you don’t have a planner task this to a bridesmaid.

FULL REVIEW

We were so lucky to find Katie! She was the absolute best from start to finish. She was constantly on hand to answer my questions via phone, zoom or email. She has so much experience with marquee weddings and offered us expert advice. She was also super helpful in rallying all the many different suppliers we used, and stepping in when anything went awry ahead of the big day.
On the day, we knew everything was in safe hands. Katie made us feel so calm, and was there to fix even the most trivial of problems whenever they presented themselves. So many of our guests commented on how seamlessly the different aspects of the day ran, and that was all down to Katie! We cannot recommend Katie highly enough!”

It was a joy to be part of Z&T’s unforgettable wedding in the heart of Oxford. The church was alive with music, an array of beautiful live instruments with every note setting the perfect tone for a celebration to remember.
After the ceremony, we headed to the stunning Oxford Botanic Gardens for a marquee reception. Z&T’s choice of soft pink florals couldn’t have been more perfect; they harmonised beautifully with the bridesmaids’ on-trend, mismatched dresses, creating a romantic and elegant aesthetic that tied everything together seamlessly.
The couple’s gorgeous stationery added a personal touch by including the names of their beloved pets. It was a small detail, but it truly showed how much thought they put into making the day meaningful not just for themselves, but for everyone who knows and loves them.
It was an utter pleasure to work alongside you both, thank you for your kind words and here’s to a lifetime filled with love, laughter, Tay Tay and Disney!

JUST CALL ME CUPID

No I’m not about to announce my new dating app…

A fellow supplier referred to us wedding planners as matchmakers last week and I couldn’t agree more.

I know you’re already found the love of your life but I’m here to make the perfect match between you as a couple and suppliers.

After 14 years in the industry, it’s fair to say I have an extensive list of recommended suppliers and guarantee I will know a supplier who will fit your vibe as a couple. It’s one of my favourite parts of the process and all part of making sure you have your wedding, your way.

If you’re struggling to find suppliers that you gel with or if you’re just starting the process and you have no idea where to begin, drop me a message and let me match you up!

ALL IN THE DETAILS

Details make your wedding truly special and personal. Groom P chose to have his two beautiful daughters to stand by his side as his “Best Man” and these stunning corsages were the perfect touch to celebrate the role of Best Women.

Featuring delicate white blooms, these corsages symbolize love, unity and the unbreakable bond between father and daughters.

A heartfelt and unique twist on tradition, these florals added elegance and personal charm to the day, honouring the important women in his life in the most memorable way.

KIND WORDS

“Without showing and ounce of worry, Katie jumped at finding us a replacement and saved our wedding”

When your marquee company goes into administration a week before your wedding and you suddenly have no marquee, tables, chairs, lights or bar it would seem all hope is lost.

I quickly and efficiently found solutions, delivering M&A their dream day. I must admit, I did feel like a wedding superhero that week! 🦸🏽‍♀️
