Taking a social media break from Moments to Memories as I head into a new season ✨️

Running two wedding businesses has been challenging but super fun! I've enjoyed learning and growing this year, pushing my creative boundaries and executing unique visions. I've loved every part of it, and still do, but will be stepping back a bit as I focus more on our wedding music business and personal goals.

I am still taking bookings for the 2024/2025 season so don't hesitate to get in touch. Thank you to everyone who has been a part of this journey so far, it's not the end and I'm looking forward to picking this back up again soon.

Happy New Year!

Coordination Tips // ASSISTANT

One of the most valuable aspects of having an on-the-day coordinator is that we will be your personal assistant. You don't want to be the one running around on your wedding day sorting out details and communicating to people, that's our job!

Having someone that fully understands your vision and can make decisions for you helps remove the stress so that you can focus on your loved ones and create unforgettable memories 🤍

Planning Tips // VENUE

The venue is usually the first thing that people book for their event, which means that it is one of the most important and valuable elements to decide on. Your venue will not only need to cater to you and your guest's needs, but will need adequate staffing and on-the-day coordination to ensure that your special day runs smoothly.

An aspect that most people forget is that your venue will set the scene for photos, ambience and decorations so make sure to take note of the colours, natural and man-made features, staff, branding and personality of the venue. Coordinating your venue with your vision is vital in creating the overall atmosphere of your event ✨

Rest assured that your wedding planner or bridal shop will help you choose the right dress for you. Don't forget that no matter what dress you pick, know that you will look stunning on your special day!

🧁 C A N A P É S 🧁

Guests always look forward to canapé service, especially after a beautiful ceremony. A canapé is a type of small, decorative finger food that can be eaten in one bite, ranging from savoury-topped breads to petite cupcakes. Most venues will already have canapé menus to choose from but you can also hire a vendor or catering company to personalise some for you.

Styling Tips // PALETTE

Choosing the right colour palette will determine your event's overall style and look. This can be a daunting task, but you can start by picking your favourite colour and then pairing it with colours that complement it. You also need to consider the venue's outdoor and indoor elements as they will contribute to the colour palette.

For example, this wedding venue has greenery, wooden furniture and white elements so you can easily pair these colours with 2 or 3 shades of your favourite colour to create your palette. Simple, yet elegant!

Make sure you lock in your colour palette before you start choosing elements for your event; it'll save you a lot of time and money and will help guide your decision-making 🎨

I am a CREATIVE ORGANISER ✨

Lately I have been organising a lot of styled shoots which have been so fun to plan! I really enjoy expressing my creativity and coming up with concepts that are unique and bring my own flavour to the wedding industry. I also love finding and meeting vendors that have specialised skill sets that can execute my vision better than I can.

The best part about styled shoots is seeing everything come together on the day. It's even more rewarding when it turns out better than I imagine because of how well the team brings my vision to life as well as adding their own style.

Being a creative organiser helps me carry out an event from start to finish whilst adding artistic elements. It requires a lot of capacity, hard work and creative freedom but it is so worth it and it's what makes me, me!

Styling Tips // THEME

When designing my mood boards, I love to let the character of the venue, as well as the client's vision, inspire my theme and colour scheme. This heavily influences the way I design most visual elements such as florals or decorations.

For example, this wine cellar had a classy vintage character which helped me choose elegant tableware and signage. In a recent shoot, I chose a bohemian theme for a beach venue as I was inspired by the rustic native plants onsite.

Next time you do a site visit, see if you can notice the character or style of the venue and let it inspire your theme and overall vision! ✨

You can't celebrate without a cake! I love how creative you can be when designing your dream cake. They not only showcase the theme or character of the event/celebrant but they also taste delicious, if you find the right vendor. If you're looking for recommendations for your next event, feel free to ask!
