We have been featured on the fabulous

When ⁠ contacted me to ask if I would style her shoot I jumped at the chance to fulfil my monochrome dreams.

Yes I’m the colour 🌈 queen. But contrasting colours are my heart ♥️

I had also visited ⁠ before and was excited to be working at this delicious venue.

Of course working with my favourite boutique ⁠
And the queen of textiles
I also had the pleasure of working with some incredible suppliers that I haven’t worked with before.

So to see our hard work on is fantastic.

So if you love this look. Message me and let’s me help you create your own dreamy monochromatic wedding.

Well here we are!

The end of 2022!

For me it was different from what I thought it would be.

I slowed down completely.

I dropped the ball on many occasions.

I learnt why and how and built structures so I don’t do it as much.

I learnt I am human after all.

I worked on my foundations as a person and as a business owner.

Still so much to do and learn. But I excited to keep growing.

What I am taking into 2023 is the feeling of gratitude.

For the industry I am in and love.

For my wonderful clients I have had the pleasure of helping create beautiful and memorable events.

For my colleagues and friends that I have worked with.

And for the many more events that we will create in 2023.

Thank you.

See you on the other side.

Lots of love

You want a dress that screams your personality and style.

Something big!

Something bold!

Something sparkly!

Well I definitely have the person for you Marie Chandler].

This bow was part of a beautiful gold dress that Marie created from a gold dress that I feel in love with and was inspired by.

This bow now has a life of its own.

MORE IS MORE!

More style

This workshop was just over a year ago and it still so fresh.

With a mixture of my favourite styles of studio 54 and fine art. Me and my fellow creatives created a feast for the eyes for the participants of this workshop.

It’s a great way of…

… building their portfolio to attract their dream clients.

… practice their craft in a safe way.

… direct experience models.

… learn from some of the best photographers in their field.

… be aligned with the most creative suppliers in the wedding industry.

All while have fun!

Interesting in being part of a photography workshop.

Did you know I design and create backdrops for my clients?

It’s a great way of bringing your colour palette to your event space.

These backdrops can be used in a number of ways.

In your ceremony, reception photo background and my personal favourite as a table plan.

The list goes on…

What ideas do you have and what colours?

Earlier this year I have the please of exhibiting at this gorgeous venue in Margate.

I am one of their preferred suppliers.

I worked with Gemma the very talented lady of and Fife the fabulous lady with the stunning tableware to create a stunning tablescape for the event.

It went down a storm!

This colours were pinks, white and light greens.

I used colour candle stick holders and coloured tapered candles and well as pink glassware to bring the looks together.

Such a spring/summer palette.

If you have a colour palette in mind and searching for inspiration to bring your vision to life let me help.

I have worked with lots of colour palettes in my time as a graphic designer and of course a wedding stylist and planner.

So DM me or fill in my contact form and show me what your working with.

Let’s get creative together.

Take some time!

So picture this, you just did the deed and got married in front of all your loved ones.

What a moment!

You can't walk one step without everyone congratulating you.

It is such a beautiful moment in life to be part of.

But it can be so overwhelming for you both.

So I always suggest to my couples to take a walk together.

Talk
Soak it up
Take a breath
Kiss
Hold each other
Celebrate

Also, this is a great opportunity to get some couple shots with your photographer.

They will just be in the background.

So don't worry you will get some space.

Then I will be there waiting with a glass of fizz and some canapés when you get back to the reception.

You can thanks be later.

Black and white images are timeless.

If this is the kind of style of images you would like you need to find a photographer that has that style too like Rebecca ⚡️ Sheffield & London Wedding Photography]

Research research research!

Check out their insta and website.

I've heard from photographers that they have booked a client and when it come to seeing the gallery of images the client is disappointed because that is not the style of images that had in their mind.

The style of images you see on the photographers socials are the style of images you will get.

I get it, it can be confusing.

A photographer just takes pictures right!

Wrong!

Yes of course they take pictures but they do it in their own unique way. Also you have to remember they also have their own way of editing their images.

A great starting point is to understand what kind of photography you love.

Here are some styles to research:

Classic and traditional
Candid and documentary-style
Editorial
Dark and Moody
Fine Art
Landscape
Black and White

There are lots of other styles that photographers have created themselves and are know for.

So chose your style and then research.

The photography with definitely mention their style on their platforms.

If you need any suggestions DM me.

Also photographers comment below with your style.

Blue is the colour.

A simple way of adding your favourite colour to your wedding day is by adding coloured glassware to your table.

This will be an extra cost to you as most venues and caterers will have standard clear glasses as part of their package.

So speak to your planner or stylist about sourcing coloured glassware.

I'm about making the most impact with your budget.

So let's chat and see how we can make it work.

DM me or go to the link in my bio to fill out a contact form.

Happy birthday to this gorgeous human.

Can’t wait to see you implement all of these exciting things.

Love and support babes.

Have a wonderful day.

###

It’s my birthday yay! 45 today 🥳 the first without my beautiful mum. I missed her.

This coming week when the kids are back at school, I’ll be implementing some changes to Way Out Wedding. And these are:

♥️ Move the merch to a new pre-order model that opens only occasionally. Plus there’s going to be a new tee version of the ‘In Love With Love’ sweater 🥰 AND a new ‘Forever Ever…’ tee 👀

♥️ Magazine production will be ramped up - submissions very welcome!

♥️ The Club WOW Directory is getting a new format. There’ll be some free spots so the directory is even more useful to readers as it’ll be more comprehensive. One of my first jobs was working on a PR firm directory and there were free listings and two higher paid tiers. It meant that readers had every relevant contact they needed. The paid tiers got more attention and support so stood out more and gave more value. I think this is a great way forward to support my readers AND the industry. If you’re a modern and creative supplier, please express your interest by emailing me - pls no DMs as I’ll get muddled 😂🙃 [email protected]

♥️ Getting myself automated with

♥️ And finallyyyyy getting our .collective venture off the ground with my lovely and 💕⚡️

Right I’m off to get birthday prosecco! Cin cin, loves!! xoxo

***Inspo time***

While looking through Pinterest I stumbled upon this beautiful thing.

How good is this epic room divider, designed by Lucia Massari with the renowned leather craftsman and bag maker Roberto Mazzeo?

I love it even more because it has my brand colour blue.

Backdrops of dreams.

Image beautiful flowers adorning this.

Then later turn in to a perfect backdrop for pictures with your guest.

Get creative. Think big.

Did you know I make installation like this?

I am getting more and enquiries from corporate companies finding inspiration that they would love to have at their product launches or staff events. But not knowing where to find someone that can create the look.

Well I’m so glad they have found me.

Is so worth having a conversation with me about their vision.

If you didn’t know my background is of a true creator.

I have qualifications in so many different mediums such as ceramics, photography, woodwork and dressmaking.

So if there is something you envision for your event.

Contact me via my website.

And let’s bring your vision to life.

Speak soon.
