The wonderful Agora hotel - where this magnificent shoot takes place - has recently been featured in ! And no surprise, really. It is the definition of a hidden gem in the middle of Cyprus, tucked away in the village of Lefkara - the home of traditional lace making on the island. The owners, Emilie and Aleks, have worked tirelessly to nail the decor with a soft, luxurious, old-time-glamour vibe. But they’ve also brought the hotel directly into the hearts of the local community, as well as creating a must-stay space for tourists. Seriously, you don’t want to miss it. Fave spot: lying on the striped pool beds, under a pink fringed umbrella in the atrium. With an Aperol Spritz, I think. Yes please.

My approach is first and foremost about getting to know you. I get to know things like how you met, who your favourite style icons are, your feelings on karaoke and what used to get you into trouble as a kid. Teasing out what makes you you, and why you work so well together, forms the basis for creating the perfect wedding day atmosphere for you and your guests. It influences the overall design, littering the day with meaning and allowing your generous nature to shine.

Weddings are multi generational affairs, and so our shoot had to follow suit. How lucky were we to have the most glamorous couple willing to jump in front of the camera with us? They had style and flair, and looked so good on the dance floor! They are the perfect reminder that while time doesn’t stop for anyone, love only gets better with age. Thank you George and Georgia for inspiring us all with your elegance and vivacity.

Whether it’s a styled shoot or a real wedding, pulling together the right team is absolutely essential. Having confidence in everyone’s abilities, allowing everyone to explore their creativity, working together when things don’t go according to plan and staying on brief is the mark exceptional talent. And this team was incredible. ✨

In the discussions about how we wanted it to look real, and not just a shoot, we realised we were creating an homage to the anti AI movement - real people forging genuine connection. Our models didn’t know each other, but after a couple of days of posing together, you can see that spark of friendship becoming established, and It. Is. MAGIC.

Allow me to introduce the styled shoot ‘Connected’, a concept dreamed up by the gorgeous centred around old world glamour, Slim Aarons photography and a desire to show the magic of what happens when you bring people together - genuine connection. Shot over 2 days with 3 main stories to tell, brought together by an incredible team in Cyprus and here in the UK. Now published in The Wed! I have content for days, so buckle up! Link in bio.

Christmas beckons, but there’s so much excitement to share! My first European styled shoot is on the brink of publication, and I absolutely cannot WAIT to show you. Plus! I have the rare opportunity of meeting clients in person in advance of their wedding next week! I’m organising their celebrations for NYE in 2024, and it’s going to be EPIC. So, in honour of them, and my new shoot coming out soon, here are some pictures from a shoot I don’t post nearly as often as I should. With more than 250 candles, published by , and with an incredible group of talented humans at work, this shoot has got all the warmth and peace we need for Christmas this year. 🕯️✨

Love to all!

T & M’s welcome party fell on the summer solstice, so when it came to decor, we knew we had to pay homage to the sun. We asked our florists, Dani & Foix, to make the flowers look like fire. And we asked Tanya, our stationer, for round menus to emulate the sun.
If you look carefully at the last picture, you’ll see the napkins are hand embossed with T & M’s initials, used on their website and with the video booth from their wedding day.

“You definitely delivered everything we hoped for and we loved bouncing ideas off you the whole time. The lighting really was amazing, and made the look of the evening something really unique. We absolutely loved it! It was so special! Honestly, we had the best day! As did our guests, we just want to do it all over again!” ~ Gem & Marty. 22.05.2023

When Gem and Marty told me they were foodies, and that great food was even more important to them than decor, I knew was the caterer we should choose. If you ask me, they’re easily the best in Puglia. Their food looks as great as it tastes, and for this wedding they delivered in spades. It was such a genuine pleasure to work alongside Alba and her brilliant team. And to eat - that was a great pleasure, too! 😋

While Gem and Marty were unafraid of colour, we wanted the decor to be sympathetic to the building and gardens. So we pared things all the way back, and with white table linen, we brought colour into the stationery and lighting. We chose our colour scheme by analysing the new Pinterest board, but took a lot of inspiration from Gem & Marty’s legal wedding photos in Palm Springs.

An Allegory wedding is all about connection. Our connection, your connection, your connection to your guests, how guests interact with our design choices, and how we design your wedding together. It requires authenticity, communication, trust, and a whole lotta love. The results are breathtaking. More Amore!

We had spent a long time trying to come up with a ceremony backdrop that would be modern and impactful, without jarring with the setting, so we really felt like we hit the jackpot when we found Ellie from Florae. Ellie creates graphic flowers that are designed to be hired and re-used. She rose to the challenge of creating an art-gallery-worthy ceremony backdrop for us, and her stunning efforts really speak for themselves.

Q & A
- Question - how many weddings do I plan a year?
- Answer - no more than 6. I love my job because of the connection I build with my clients, and dedicating myself to making the wedding as perfect as it can be. It takes time, care and energy, so I limit the number of weddings I do.

Gem & Marty wanted their wedding to really embody minimalism. They wanted the venue to do most of the talking, and for our decor to simply highlight the beauty of what was already a paradise. On the tables, our custom-built lighting took centre stage, and we pared the rest of the table back. We put cutlery on an angle for a modern-art vibe, and had our resident graphic designer - the bride! - design the stationery to continue colour throughout the table. Plus apricots, of course.

Showing my face. It’s me, Frances, the person behind Allegory. I am energised by being around people, hearing your stories and then making magic. I love love! I’ve just put my first blog post up on the website - it’s a little intro into my world and a q&a about wedding planning. But in the meantime, here are some things I didn’t mention that might be fun to know: • I have a degree in Egyptology & Anthropology • I love a long story (though I’m probably the one telling it) • Before weddings I was in the luxury travel industry, so we can talk about honeymoons all day long, just for fun • Husband Nathaniel, kids Evie & Hugo, dogs Nico & Bruno, and cat Juno. My house is always filled with people and apparently we have a thing for names that end in ‘o’ • If I wasn’t a wedding planner, I’d either be in theatre production, or a doula • ESFP, Aries sun, Aquarius moon, Libra rising, Enneagram 2/3-9, Generator • I get the Hava Nagila song stuck in my head all the time Video: @hexa.photo #ukweddingplanner #destinationweddingplanner #destinationweddingplannerinitaly #gettoknowme
