They say if you do what you love, you'll never work a day in your life. Well, I say you'll work even harder... especially while everyone else is partying!
The last 8 weeks have been a whirlwind. A crazy, joyous, welly-wearing, tear-jerking, mile-clocking beautiful time!
Sending love, strength and positive energy to all other amazing wedding suppliers out there working hard throughout the summer many who are also juggling childcare. High bloody five!

OXFORD WEDDING
I worked alongside Madhu and Alex for 16 months planning their Oxford wedding celebration. @jakeburgessfilms captured their magical day perfectly.
The rain could not dampen the love and joy that filled Oriel College for their personal ceremony with beautiful traditions. The wet weather plan meant the ceremony was in the dining hall where they first met. The reception was held in the breathtaking Bodleian Library.

If you go down to the woods today...
If you go down to the woods today...
You’ll be sure to find some gorgeous spring wedding inspiration! The perfect mix of fabulous florals, modern bridal wear, and boho luxe. "Evenly Wood provided the perfect backdrop for this lush woodland meets city chic shoot!" Words are stolen from the cake queen Charlene as they sum the day up perfectly.
I absolutely loved how the surroundings and the groom's velvet jacket inspired me to create a tablescape using tones of greens. It beautifully complemented the rattan placemats, hanging lobster pots and gold cutlery. The natural base of green created the perfect canvas for the stationery, florals and cake, all in a stunning colour palette of coral, lilac, and pinks.
Let this woodland-inspired shoot inspire your own wedding dreams. Find your perfect balance of nature and elegance and create a day that reflects your unique style and love story.

HOW I FEEL ABOUT CERTAIN WEDDING STYLES
(with little to no explanation)
I hope you're all having a fantastic week so far. I wanted to share a fun reel with you all today where I talk about some of my likes and dislikes when it comes to wedding trends and styles. From colour clashes to champagne towers, I cover a lot of ground in this video.
One of the things I love about being a wedding planner is that I get to work with couples to create a day that truly reflects their personalities and style. That being said, there are some trends that I absolutely adore and some that just aren't my cup of tea. At the end of the day, what matters most is that my clients are happy with the choices they make for their big day.
So without further ado, check out my reel to see my thoughts on everything from pampas grass to receiving lines. As always, feel free to reach out to me if you're looking for guidance on planning your perfect wedding. I'm here to help!

Happy International Women’s Day to all the incredible, strong and inspiring women out there!
As a woman in the wedding industry, I am proud to be part of a community that empowers and supports each other. It is amazing to see the success of so many local suppliers who are achieving great things.
In the very wise words of Michelle Obama…
“There is no limit to what we, as women, can accomplish”

As a wedding planner, it is so important to ensure that all elements of the day come together seamlessly to create an unforgettable experience. One of the key elements is the entertainment and @nextlevelmusicuk definitely did not disappoint.
