Whatta summer 😍😍

I’m back from weddings in France and Mexico and taking a little moment to reflect on how bloody lucky I am to get to do such a gorgeous job in such gorgeous places ♥️

08/08/2022

Three top tips from yesterday’s wedding

1. Marry someone from a different country (preferably somewhere hot and beautiful) so you can justify having two weddings

2. Give everyone spill-proof cups for the dance floor (scroll for the pic)

3. Bring out party paraphernalia at regular intervals to keep the disco going (scroll further for the pic)

💍 EMPHASIS ON THE RINGS 💍

I love that the rings are a part of the ceremony that last forever.

I did a ceremony recently with a ring warming and it was drop dead gorgeous 😍

The rings are passed around your guests at the start of the ceremony so they can warm them with happy memories and good luck for the future.

It’s such a great way get everyone involved in the ceremony and it’s just gorge to think every time you look at your ring you’ll remember that all your favourite people held it and warmed before you put it on 💫

(Don’t worry, we put them in a pouch or on a little dish so they don’t get dropped/lost 😁)

We’ve got ourselves a very cute pitch invasion 🥰

The joy of a celebrant wedding is that you can have a really relaxed ceremony, babe in arms as you say your vows, have a little break if they’re getting vocal, anything at all that’s takes any stress out of having a little one joining in.

Pics SO BEAUTIFULLY captured by and

Cryin @ Weddins

This is probably very helpful given my line of work but I just don't cry at happy things. I smile and laugh and cheer and whoop but my eye invariably remains dry.

I've seen some of the people I love the most in the whole entire world get married (including my mum) but it just doesn't make me well up.

However, when I'm doing a ceremony and I see people reaching for the tissues or blinking tears back so they don't ruin their makeup, I do feel like I've hit the nail on the head. It's like they just can't contain all the emotion they feel at watching someone they love so much get married and I LOVE THAT!

How about you? Are you a big ol' crier or do you save it up for when you're watching Marley & Me?

Celebranting vs. Bridesmaiding.

I honestly don't know which I prefer cause I bloody love both (and probably bring the same energy to both)

Either way:

⭐ I'll have a handbag full of plasters/safety pins/superglue/

⭐ I'll be in a nice outfit and have all the makeup on (any excuse)

⭐ I'll be making sure I've got a to-do list to be on top of so that you don't have to worry

⭐ And I'll always, ALWAYS be your number one hype girl

Wedding season is very much upon us 💒

By the end of this week I'll have had four weddings in three weeks and by that point in the proceedings I expect to be approximately 90% prosecco 🥂

Tell me all your secrets 🤩

Once I've asked you a million questions about your life and and you've told me all the funny stories and filled in questionnaires about all your hopes and dreams, I'll send you your ceremony script to have a look over before the big day.

However, there's one section I don't include, and that's what you've each told me you looooove about each other. Things that inspire you about your partner and the things they do that make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

(Don't worry, I get the answers to that from the questionnaire rather than making you sit and say it all to me in the pub on a Saturday afternoon over a pint cause that might be a bit awks.)

I always tell people not to worry about the way they write it in the questionnaire - it can be full of clichés or "I don't know how to say this but"s and it's my job to make it a it more poetic.

(I said this to a couple -wedding_show the other week and I was like "I assume you're not a professional poet" and one of them was like "...actually...I am!" WHAT ARE THE CHANCES??) 😂

But for everyone else, let me turn your clichés into prose and surprise you both on your wedding day with a gorgeous little segment. It's honestly one of the most special parts of the ceremony. Whether you're a couple who are going all in on the romance or you prefer something more pared back, I always tailor it to you and it's always my favourite bit of the ceremony 😍

29/03/2022

One of the most important things to me in my business is making sure I'm being completely inclusive 🧡

I want to create a safe and open space where everyone feels seen and heard. Where you can tell me your wildest ideas for your day and they'll be embraced and realised. I don't want anyone to have to approach their wedding feeling like they need to explain their choices or conform to any traditions that just don't suit them.

There are still too many gay couples who attend wedding fairs or venue visits and are asked "which one of you is getting married?" Too many booking forms where there's a line for "groom's name" and ""bride's name"" without considering that there might not be a bride or a groom at all. Too much marketing that's aimed purely at brides as though men don't have any interest in their marriages.

We're all growing and learning, and I definitely make mistakes or am blind to certain perspectives but I'm committed to adapting my business to make sure it's welcoming and inclusive to everyone, from the people getting married to the guests and suppliers who will be at the wedding 🌈

Kind of like how a doctor has a patient confidentiality clause, I also have a celebrant/client confidentiality clause 🤫

I'll never tell anyone that when your partner's family took you to their favourite restaurant you thought the food was a bit meh

I won't put it into the ceremony that you got too drunk on the first date and fell asleep in the bar.

I definitely won't reveal whose family you think throw the best party.

You can tell me anything - even if it doesn't make it into the script, it's so great to hear about your lives and it lets me really get the essence of who you are into your ceremony 😍

I had a gorgeous chat last night with Kate from all about how to structure a ceremony, where to start when you’re writing your vows and top tips for speeches 💫

Catch the replay here and let us know if you have any questions 💕

When I first started this business I had second thoughts about positioning myself as a feminist supplier.

I was a bit nervous about alienating potential clients but then I had a word with myself and was like, no hun, you’ve spent the last fifteen years learning about the gender pay gap, the politics of body hair, intersectionality, domestic abuse, me too, everyday sexism and luxury taxes on tampons.

It’s so important to me that what I do in my business aligns with what I believe in and who I am. The core of what I do is about inclusivity and making everyone feel super, super comfortable. 💪🏼

Historically, it's women who have had to bear the brunt of a million expectations and patriarchal bu****it that goes with weddings and I love that I get to offer an alternative.

Also, I’m really conscious that there are much bigger things going on in the world right now and that there are a lot of women who will be disproportionately affected so I’ve put my money where my mouth is and donated to UN Women to help women and girls in Ukraine 🇺🇦

I asked everyone I spoke to this weekend to give me a song that they put on when they need to sit down and get. s**t. done.

I put all those songs onto a playlist so that there’s one big collaborative list of songs that engaged couples are sitting down to listen to when they’re doing their wedding planning. Honestly I’m obsessed with the community vibes 💕💕

The results are…eclectic.. We’ve got pop, rock, indie, Disney, RnB, korean boy bands and South African folk collabs. I’ve been listening to it all day and it’s making my little heart sing 💕

Thank you to everyone who contributed already and leave me a comment if there’s any you’d add!

Things will go wrong. Don't sweat it.

The speeches might overrun a bit, you might get one of the moves wrong in your perfectly choreographed first dance, you might chop a finger off while you're cutting the cake (only joking, I don't think that will happen).

Whatever happens though, don't worry. Most of the time it's a small thing that no one else will notice and it's the things that don't go according to plan that make the best stories anyway.

I spent months travelling round South America but the story I always tell is about the time I left my passport on a plane and thought I was going to be stuck in the jungle forever but then a man called Jesus got on his motorbike, found my passport and hand delivered it to my hostel dorm

France is one of my absolute favourite places in the whole world so can you imagine how excited I am to be doing a wedding there this summer? 🇫🇷 🥖

This place is a dreamy, gorgeous, idyllic haven of a venue. E & D chose a destination wedding so they could have protected time away with their family and friends and I back that completely.

Huge fan of turning weddings into holidays ☀️

⭐ Proud not Precious ⭐

I'm really proud of the work that I produce. I put a lot of time, energy and love into the ceremonies I write. I think about my couples a lot and have a dictation app on my phone where I leave myself voice notes if I'm suddenly struck with an idea for their ceremony. I block out time in my diary with zero distractions and a cup of tea to focus 100% on writing each ceremony and I take my laptop all over in case I'm struck with some inspiration and want to get a few words down.

HOWEVER

I am definitely not precious. If you get your script and you want to change some phrasing, switch a few sections up, add something extra in or you just don't like a word that's in there (can't imagine I'd often get the most-hated-word-ever "moist" into many ceremonies) then that's totally fine. These are the words that accompany your marriage and they should feel 100% like they reflect you.

I'm super open with my couples and have a collaborative and honest relationship with them so that we can create absolute magic for your wedding day. 😍

Your wedding is obvs all about you but…....it's also kind of about your guests..?

I'm not an advocate for changing huge things about your wedding just because your pals/fam are offering unwanted opinions but, presumably, if you're inviting people to your wedding, it's because you want them to have a good time too.

The best weddings are the ones where guests always know where they're supposed to be and what they're supposed to be doing. They're the weddings where there's something fun to do while the couple are off having their photos taken. They're the ones where there's music playing that will get everyone on the dance floor and food that everyone loves.

Unfortunately, the ceremony is often a part of the day that your guests won't be most looking forward to. They expect to see the cookie cutter template they've heard 1000 times before at other weddings and it will have them glancing at their watches wondering when they'll get a glass of fizz in their hands

Having a celebrant turns that part of the day into something interesting and entertaining for your guests. They learn something new about you, they laugh, they cry and everyone leaves the ceremony absolutely buzzing to celebrate with you 😍

Having a celebrant isn't just the best decision you'll make for the two of you, but it's the best decision you'll make for your guests too ♥️

People often ask what my favourite part of my job is but I have three ⁠
⁠
💛 I love a good old chat so getting to know couples and turning their story into a ceremony script is super interesting. Hearing how people met, what they love and admire about their partner, what made them decide they want to spend their lives together, their hopes for the future, favourite memories of the past and meeting the network of family and friends around them who they want to share their day with is just incredible.⁠
⁠
💛 I actually enjoy public speaking (I know, weird right?!) I was the kid in a theatre group for about 10 years, I'm the one who'll always volunteer to do a presentation at work, I'm even just the one in the friendship group who'll ask a stranger for directions. There is no better group of people to speak to than weddings guests. They're all there to celebrate love with people they love and care about. The vibe from a crowd like that is unmatched (not even a Beyonce concert).⁠
⁠
💛 I'm a planner. I'm the girl who turns up on holiday with a spreadsheet and has all the booking references in one handy place. What I do isn't just about delivering the ceremony, it's also about the room being set up correctly, the person pressing play on the music being ready at the right time and the rings being in the right place. I love this part of the job, I think it's just naturally how my brain works and it's so satisfying when that prep work pays off and the ceremony runs perfectly but is seemingly effortless.⁠
⁠
TLDR: I LOVE MY JOB!!⁠

"You may now kiss the bride" 😘

Unless a couple is super into using this phrase, it's not one I'd use as standard in my ceremonies.
It makes it sound like the kiss is something happening to the bride rather than something she's actively and enthusiastically taking part in.
I do a lot of weddings where there are two brides so it just doesn't work.
I do a lot of wedding where there are zero brides so it just doesn't work.

Therefore, I'm starting a petition for the official wording to change to "Go on, give each other a snog" 💋

Now, I know I bang on about throwing tradition out of the window all the bloody time but I do think it's really important to include traditions if it's what you want.

When I'm planning a ceremony with a couple, I break down each element of what people expect to see at a wedding and simply ask the question "do you want to do this?".

There are no wrong answers. If you say no to everything and we create the wackiest, most unexpected wedding there's ever been then that's great. If you say yes to everything and we do a traditional ceremony with some personalisation then that's just a great.

You do you, boo xo

My mum is super confident and chatty and my step dad is really quiet and shy but when they got married it was a complete role reversal. My mum essentially whispered her vows because she was so nervous and her husband was really confident and everyone could actually hear him..

You might not be able to pre-empt how you'll feel on the day and it might be the complete opposite to what you expect but one thing for sure is that I will be right there by your side. We'll have spent months getting to know each other in the lead up to the wedding and having a friendly face standing up there with you on the day might make the difference between whether your guests hear your vows or not 🤣

Let's talk logistics 🤓

The part of my job that everyone sees is the bit where I stand up in front of all your guests and say some lovely words and lead you through your vows and a ring exchange but there is so much more happening in the background.

A really big part of what I do is making sure all the logistics around the ceremony are sorted.

I've seen a really big spike in couples choosing to enter the ceremony together, it's such a lovely way to embody the partnership and unity of a couple but it does mean that neither of them are around just before the ceremony to make sure everything is where it needs to be.

This is where I can help. We'll have spent a few months in the lead up to the wedding planning the ceremony. I'll know exactly when the music is supposed to play, who will be doing a reading, where people need to sit, where the rings need to be.

Even if one of you will be at the front with me ahead of the ceremony starting, there'll be a lot of other things on your mind and it relieves some of the nerves knowing that you've got someone with you who will take care of all the details and will make sure the ceremony goes smoothly 💕
