DE GEUR VAN LENTE 🌺

Van de week liep ik langs een struik in onze tuin die heelrijk rook en de geur bracht me terug naar mijn jeugd en gaf me een gevoel van geluk en onbezorgdheid. 🥰 Bijzonder hè?! Dat is wat geur met je doet…het brengt je in een flits terug naar een bepaald moment en naar wat je toen hebt gevoeld.

Aan bijna alle zintuigen wordt wel gedacht op een bruiloft, maar geur wordt helaas vaak vergeten. Terwijl het enorm belangrijk is bij het maken van herinneringen en het weer oproepen hiervan.

Stel dat je een nieuwe parfum uitkiest en deze als eerste draagt op jullie bruiloft. Wat denk je dat er gebeurt als je dit parfum later weer ruikt? Precies! Zo kan je jullie bruiloft steeds een beetje herleven. ❤️

Heb jij wel eens over nagedacht over een wedding scent?

REVIEW ❤️

Wat een prachtige review kreeg ik van Jeroen en Nienke. Ik vond dit een superleuk traject met hen, want ze wisten heel goed wat ze absoluut niet wilden (Jeroen had een hele duidelijk NEE op tuttig kant en Nienke wilde vooral niet overdrijven). Maarja, wat dan wel? Komt nog eens bij dat ze ook niet goed wisten wat er allemaal mogelijk was, wat ook logisch is.

Het leuke hiervan is dat ik juist even verder moest kijken naar wat er achter hun wensen zit. Het is heel makkelijk om een standaard programma uit te rollen en alleen te kijken naar wat mooi is qua styling. Maar mijn doel is om mensen echt hun bruiloft te laten beleven, zoals dat bij hen past. Door goed door te vragen zijn we op een hele fijne invulling van de dag gekomen met de juiste ondersteunende leveranciers en een sfeer die helemaal bij hen past. ❤️😍

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY ❤️

He’s still my Valentine. 💖 We’ve been together for over 30 years and married for 13. We don’t always do something special for Valentine’s Day—often it depends on how busy we are or if we can come up with something fun. After so many years, it can be a bit challenging. But every now and then, one of us surprises the other, and it’s truly special. And even if we don’t surprise each other on Valentine’s Day, we know we love each other through the little things we do.

For our kids, this is a time for making gifts for their loved ones. Our son, in classic fashion, is still figuring out what to do for his girlfriend at the moment we speak 😄 Meanwhile, our 7-year-old daughter, who already has a boyfriend, has crafted four gifts and notes. So sweet!

Whether big or small, every gesture is beautiful. Wishing you a wonderful, love-filled day. And for those secretly hoping for the big question, enjoy the anticipation! And if your partner doesn’t pop the question… what’s stopping you? Go ahead and propose! Not sure how to plan it?📩 DM me for a free call. I’d love to help you out!

P.S. If all else fails, just remember: chocolate is always a good idea. 🍫😉

5 PROPOSAL SIGNS

Tomorrow is Valentine’s Day. Have you noticed your partner acting a bit differently than usual? There’s a good chance that a beautiful ring might be slipped onto your finger tomorrow 💖✨ Just to be safe, make sure your nails are perfectly polished 😉

Here are 5 signs that your partner is preparing a proposal:

1️⃣ They’re suddenly interested in your jewelry and your taste in it. You might even catch them rummaging through your jewelry box.

2️⃣ They’re being secretive with their phone. Suddenly texting someone a lot. (Your bestie, your mom?)

3️⃣ They’re taking the initiative to plan a romantic Valentine’s dinner.

4️⃣ They’re talking a lot about your future **together** and your plans for this summer.

5️⃣ They seem a bit nervous when they’re around you (A sudden case of sweaty palms and stuttering? Proposal jitters are REAL! 😂)

If you recognize any of these signs… you might want to start thinking about wedding planning! And guess what? I’m here to help.

REVIEW 😘

What a wonderful couple this was! The beginning of their relationship and their engagement was a beautiful story. I also immediately noticed that they had their own little quirks that are really characteristic of who they are as a couple.

However, they couldn’t quite figure out what they wanted. They had already visited a lot of venues and requested quotes. The venues were also very different in terms of atmosphere and appearance. Not a bad thing in itself, because sometimes you discover what you really like this way. But they actually liked “everything” and therefore couldn’t make a choice.

I started working with them on a wedding design by beginning with an extensive brainstorming session. I always brainstorm along with the couple, because often they don’t see what is very obvious, and I point those things out. 😊

By the end of the afternoon, when we started clustering the ideas, a beautiful recurring theme emerged, and it suddenly became very clear. I worked all of this out into a wedding concept, including a mood board. In this, I describe where the ideas come from and how this can be translated into, among other things, the type of venue, the program, the atmosphere, and the styling. This was then used as a guideline for the actual organization of the wedding. It’s incredibly rewarding work when you can help people with such an important day in their lives. ❤️🥰

DETAILS 🍒

Yes, that’s me! Working on some details. Preferably everything is perfect. Because my biggest fear is that my bride and groom are not happy with something during their wedding.

The reality is that most bridal couples wouldn’t even notice and if they did, they wouldn’t care. Celebrating their love with the most important people there with them is what it’s all about.❤️

So don’t sweat the small stuff. I’ll do that for you. 😉

EMERGENCY KIT 💪⚡️🚨

As a Wedding Coördinator you have to be prepared for just about anything. So I carry my suitcase full of things to save the day with me everywhere. So, what do I take with me on every wedding? ⬇️

✨ Medicine and wound care products:
Everyday medications, such as paracetamol, antacids and soothing remedies for insect bites. I also always have an aspivenin with me to suck out a bite or sting. And of course, plasters, wound gauze, scissors and tweezers.

✨ Anti choking device:
One of my biggest fears is always that someone will choke. That’s why I carry an anti-suffocation device in case the heimlich doesn’t work. When I say it like this, it feels a bit exaggerating. But better safe than sorry.

✨ Needle and thread:
A loose button or someone ripping out of their suit. It can be prevented by having your clothes tailor-made, but it can still happen. That’s why I always have a needle and thread with me. Credit to my mother, who taught me how to quickly fix a tear.

✨ Stain remover:
I always advise the groom to bring an extra shirt. But of course it doesn’t work that way for the bride. That’s why I always have a stain remover with me, in case a stain unexpectedly occurs or if the train gets very dirty during the photo shoot.

✨ Fastening materials:
Pins, tape, string...you never know when they’ll come in handy, so I always have them with me.

✨ Refreshers and touch-ups:
A wedding is quite intensive for the bridal couple. You move, dance, kiss and hug. I’ll check in once in a while whether everything is still in order and whether you still smell fresh. I also have everything with me for that: deodorant, nail glue, a nail file, lip balm, hair spray and sunscreen etc.

✨ For the ladies:
Of course, I have feminine hygiene products with me and, yes, even clean underwear. There is nothing more annoying than an unexpected period. 😖

These items are not just for the bride and groom but also for their guests and suppliers. Of course, I hope I never need to use these products, but I’d rather carry them unnecessarily a thousand times than be unprepared when someone needs help. 😁

CHRISTMAS WEDDING VIBE 🎄🌟

Are you also crazy about Christmas? And would you love to celebrate your wedding in a Christmas atmosphere? Do it!! Personally, I absolutely love winter weddings. It’s dark, romantic, and candles and lights can do their work perfectly. Christmas adds even more warmth and coziness, plus the joy of being together with family. So it’s actually the perfect moment for your wedding.

Now, Christmas is different for everyone. And maybe you immediately have a certain image in your head of what Christmas looks like. Yet you can bring the same theme to life in so many different ways. Which one do you like the most?

✨ Classic American: Of course lots of red, white and green. Large bows and ornaments. And naturally the nutcracker and gingerbread.

✨ Fun & Bright: Red and white complemented with pastel colors, as fresh as mint candies 😉. Not too serious... just fun!

✨ Gold & Blue: Dark blue and gold create an elegant look. The Christmas bauble and stars with the greenery make it perfectly Christmas.

✨ Rustic: only natural materials for a rustic romantic atmosphere

✨ Colorful: as cheerful as colored Christmas lights

KEEP YOUR COOL AND YOUR FEET WARM♨️

Sometimes everything seems so perfect in wedding pictures especially on Social Media, but in the end we’re all just human beings. During preparations, as a bride you’ll be sitting still for 2 hours for your hair and makeup. And then you might start feeling quite cold. Add some nerves to that mix and before you know it, you’re sitting completely tense in that makeup chair.

So just put on some warm, cozy socks and some easy slippers. It might look a little less charming, but at least you’ll feel comfortable. 😉 Just make sure the socks don’t leave marks on your legs. It often takes a long time for those marks to disappear. That’s why loose, thick slouch socks are ideal. ❤️

YOU DON’T HAVE TO… 🫨

Everyone has their own ideas about what MUST be done at a wedding. How it’s supposed to be. But actually, you don’t have to do anything…well, that’s not entirely true…if you’re getting legally married, the officiant has to ask certain things and it’s desirable that you both say “yes”.😉 But even that isn’t necessary if you’re only having a ceremonial wedding.

It might be difficult because you have certain ideas about it, as does your fiancé, and maybe also your family and friends. A wedding has certain fixed elements, right?! Traditionally, yes, but that’s not necessary at all.

You don’t have to prepare separately, you don’t need to have a first look, you don’t have to be given away, your guests don’t have to sit in rows, you don’t need to have a reception, you don’t need to toast with champagne, you don’t have to throw your bouquet. The only thing you must do (but actually may) is to do it the way you want.

Part of wedding design is determining the vibe, what components your day contains and how we fill those in? I’ll help you with this, of course. If you have no idea what you want, I’ll tell you what the possibilities are, from traditional to out of the box. Together, we’ll design your unique day.❤️

Would you also like to tailor your wedding day completely, so that it suits you perfectly? Contact me for an introductory meeting. 📞💌

SUPPLIER HIGHLIGHT 😘
This is Wettina, also known as Tinus from@tinusmaakthetmooi. I love working with Tinus. Somehow, she understands my sometimes vague ideas very well with just a few words. I usually make a description of a concept with a mood board attached. And then she gets to work. When she shows me what she's working on it's always spot on right away and often even more beautiful than I could have imagined.💕 Really bizarre and fun at the same time. 😉

Besides being very good at her work, she's also super nice and down to earth. In the sometimes chaotic preparation, she works calmly and steadily. Really someone you can rely on. ❤️

WEDDING PLANNER IN ACTION🙃
Actually, I should say: master of ceremonies or wedding coördinator in action. My work consists of various components, and being a master of ceremonies is just one of them. Before the wedding even takes place, I spend a lot of time with and for the couple. We start with the design of the wedding. I see this not only as something aesthetic, but also the program, communication, and atmosphere are important parts of the design. Once the basic design is complete, I get to work bringing the design to life. I find the right wedding suppliers and together we bring it all together through good coördination and a clear script. ❤️
