How pretty are these chairs decorated by @thewildebunchflorist sometimes the smallest details can have a great impact. Try to include one wow installation like a beautiful arch or draping foliage but don’t forget the little things too 💕 Image by @sanshinephoto from @charlottemunroweddings beautiful wedding at @tortworth_court_weddings

I’ve had so many enquiries this week for 2022 weddings. I think couples are finally feeling confident to start planning their dream wedding or reviving plans put on hold. Hatty & Steve were so lucky to manage to have a huge wedding at @brymptonhouse before Covid with guests flying in from all over the world. In fact lots of my couples live abroad so hopefully travel will open up again next year and allow hen and stag parties abroad, guests from overseas and honeymoons to far flung destinations.

Do you need help with the key timings of your wedding? Having a wedding planner can really help you ensure your wedding days runs smoothly. Spacing out the ceremony, drinks reception, meal and evening party properly makes a huge difference to the flow of the day. You don’t want people hanging around bored or hungry or guests not ready to be seated when your food is ready. Letting your guests know what’s happening and when also helps them relax and enjoy themselves without worrying when they’re going to eat. This fab board was by @urbanframe_ captured by @bertpalmer

It feels so nice to be planning weddings again after such a long break. I’m so lucky to have such lovely clients. Here’s Sarah and Andrew on their big day at @hamswellhouse Image by @sarahgrayphotography

Whilst 2020 has been a terrible year for weddings, 2021 is not far away and hopefully it will be a year full of weddings, group hugs and large celebrations. For me it’s been a time to reflect and plan and to have a little re-brand with a fresh new logo and website. Check it out (link in bio) and be sure to contact me if you’re thinking of planning a wedding in 2021 and beyond.

Wow! Those flowers 💕 I don’t know who did them, but they’re gorgeous. I love that Princess Beatrice wore the Queens tiara and a customised vintage gown. That really is making the most of your something old and something borrowed. Congratulations! Image by @benjaminwheeler

A lot of my clients have stunning family homes that they want to utilise for their wedding reception. Why would you go elsewhere when this is the view from your window? If you have a home with space for a marquee but aren’t sure where to begin planning your wedding, I can help you with all of the logistics and planning to make it a fabulous bespoke experience.

I love this shot of Hatty and her bridesmaids before her wedding at @brymptonhouse last summer. Getting ready with your besties is such a special part of the day. Image by @bertpalmer

So lovely to see @charlottemunroweddings gorgeous wedding at @tortworth_court_weddings on @whimsicalwonderlandweddings today. @sanshinephoto has done a stunning job in capturing @thewildebunchflorist amazing flowers. It was a pleasure to coordinate this for Charlotte and ensure her vision and planning came to life 💕

Stunning cake by @bakemycake1 for Jenny & Matt at @bickleybarns Emma always makes amazing cakes and has a lovely kitchen where you can go to discuss your design and sample all of the yummy flavours. What’s your favourite? I think mine’s lemon 🍋 🍰 Photo by @leehatherallphotography

I helped Jenny design this theme for her wedding. She had some ideas and colours in mind but was struggling to pull them together into a cohesive theme. We chose these Pretty blooms by @ss_flowers for the marquee. Photo by @leehatherallphotography. Venue @bickleybarns Linen by @tabletodinefor

Jenny & Matt married at Jenny’s parents gorgeous home and booked me to allow their families to relax and enjoy the wedding without having to worry about all of the set up and supplier liaison. Their home is so well suited to weddings that they’ve now set up @bickleybarns as a wedding venue. Photo by @leehatherallphotography

Sarah and Andrew booked me to coordinate their marquee wedding at @hamswellhouse It’s such a beautiful venue that’s a great option if you want to bring in your own caterers and have a bespoke day. Marquee weddings can seem overwhelming as there’s a lot more planning and logistics involved than a venue that do everything for you. However in my opinion the freedom you have is sooooo worth it and a wedding planner can manage all of the details for you so you can relax and enjoy every minute.

@brymptonhouse is such a stunning venue. Beautifully captured by @bertpalmer

Linens and candles by @tabletodinefor finish the look #rusticwedding #weddinginspo #weddingplanner #wedding image by @amysandersphoto

Fabulous shot of the balloons I installed with help from the lovely Father of the Bride. It’s fun to do something different from the traditional flowers in church. Photo by @samgibsonphoto

Amazing cakes by @ahhtoots at today’s wedding.

Wow! What a beautiful spring day. Such a shame it wasn’t like this last weekend for my Somerset wedding but I’m happy to be enjoying a chilled weekend in the garden.

Such a special moment I get to share with brides when they arrive at the Church or ceremony venue and are full of excitement and nerves before they walk down the aisle

Julia was the definition of a beaming beautiful bride.

This lovely cake from @waitrose was decorated by @ss_flowers to look a million dollars

Sometimes it’s all about the massive chandeliers and gorgeous florals by @ss_flowers. Captured by @jacob_and_pauline

I loved working on this gorgeous wedding @waltoncastle. Gorgeous invitations designed by the clever bride herself and captured by @jacob_and_pauline

One challenge with long tables and sharing platters is fitting all the food on. This wedding was very carefully designed with extra wide tables and spaces for platters so that everything worked in harmony.

I think almost every wedding I’m planning this year has long tables. This one was one of my faves with hanging foliage by @thewildebunchflorist and draping by @oasiseventsltd plus amazing food by @papadeli. Captured by @simonridgwayphoto

A look back at a gorgeous barn wedding I planned at @oxleazebarn with lots of Mediterranean inspiration. Flowers by @thewildebunchflorist. Image by Simon Ridgeway Photography

Thanks to @maisonmereterre for this lovely shot taken in the beautiful lavender fields on our visit to Somerset Lavender today.

Claire from The Wilde Bunch Bunch perfectly interpreted the brides vision wit this gorgeous table scape at @oxleazebarn

Almost a year since this gorgeous wedding at @oxleazebarn. I helped Chloe and Martin define their vision for a wedding inspired by their love of Italy with my styling and coordinaton services. Sometimes it’s hard to know how to turn your ideas into reality and can be a little overwhelming. I can offer calm and reassuring guidance through the whole planning process.

It's been all about the confetti this year. Launching these canons was a bit nerve wracking but it all worked out and what a shot by @richardskinsphotography. I'm a pro at confetti firing now should anyone require my services in future 🎉

Yum, one of clients were tasting food including these pretty desserts for their wedding this evening. Fantastic food by @papadeli as always.

When the mood board and invitation are so pretty I can't help getting excited about this wedding.
