Wow what a super busy summer its been so far....totally bonkers!!! But I have loved every minute of it even though its been totally exhausting.
I will be posting some of the weddings/events we have done so far very soon.
Tonight I just wanted to share a wedding last Saturday that I attended, the most amazing castle in Cheshire my eldests sons closest childhood friend, he was one of the gorgeous groomsman, and the grooms mum is one of my closest friends. So it was very special.
It was just so lovely to sit back and enjoy on the other side for a change 🥰

After just finishing a desk day, tweaking and finalising June's weddings I had a flashback to one of last years weddings that we never posted...it was the first weekend that weddings were allowed after lockdown with unlimited numbers.
The lovely couple had, had a venue booked for 18 months and were let down 3 months before their wedding!!...what a terrible emotional journey they were sent on!.We were recommended to them by a client, I arranged an instant meeting, said I could arrange and help with organising their wedding at the brides amazing parents, house in a marquee.
They had a fantastic day and were super happy with everything. It was such a pleasure to work with them and be part of their brilliant day 💞
