In 2015, I had two phone calls that completely took me by surprise. And both terrified and excited me at the same time - not gonna lie 😂

At the time, I had a 3 year old little girl and a 3 year old little business.

One phone call was asking me to coordinate weddings at the iconic National Library of Wales while they restructured their staffing team. An offer I could only have dreamed of at that point. I said yes!

The other was inviting me to be the on-screen wedding coordinator on a brand new TV programme. Of course, I said yes to that too!

What I maybe forgot to mention to both jobs at first was… that I was pregnant 🤭

Determined to make it work, I took on the National Library weddings and started filming in April 2016 when my baby boy was just 9 weeks old. I got an incredible girl called Marisa to step in to help me with the National Library weddings - I literally couldn’t have done it without her.

I’m not going to pretend it was all sunshine and rainbows though… It wasn’t easy!

When my son was 4 months old, I was away filming for 4 nights - I will never forget it. The morning after the wedding, I cried from exhaustion all the way home and fell through our front door into my family’s arms 🩷

Then, more nights away followed throughout the year as we filmed more beautiful weddings. I cried a lot. I loved every second, but also missed my babies terribly. It was hard.

But I don’t regret any of it.

That year taught me so much.
It taught me that I could do hard things.
It taught me to be strong and stick with what I believed in, even when there was outside noise.
I learnt to trust myself.
And I learnt how important it is to ask for help.

My husband had a full-on job himself, but he never once questioned my choices. He supported me every step of the way. During the busiest, hardest times, we also had help from the children’s wonderful Mamgu and Nain.

How beautiful is it that my children had that time with them. Precious.

This photo was taken at a styled shoot that I designed and planned in the middle of all the beautiful chaos.

Looking back at this woman in the picture now, I feel proud of her.

Tired, emotional, determined… but proud 🩷

It’s not often that my husband and I get to sit down and have coffee together.

When he said “paned?” this morning after we dropped our son at Stage School, my head went straight to my mental to-do list - we all have one, right? 🤪 I automatically looked at the time, thinking “can I spare a few minutes?”… then I thought, what am I doing?!

I can make time for a quiet coffee with my husband, surely!

We sat in the Arts Centre, had coffee, and talked about our family holiday later this year (which I am ridiculously excited for!! ✈️☀️).

We only sat down for half an hour, but it was lush 🥰

When you are planning your wedding, you will have to-do lists coming out of your ears, and at times you may feel completely overwhelmed.

If this rings true for you, then two things:

1. get yourself a planner or coordinator
2. make time for a paned ☕️ with your favourite person

Because you deserve it. Make time for yourselves, enjoy the planning, and remember I am always here for you.

Ps Yes this is us on our wedding day 🥰 August 2011 🫶🏻

Mental Health Awareness Week | Wythnos Ymwybyddiaeth Iechyd Meddwl

Weddings are beautiful, emotional, joyful days… but behind the scenes, there can also be stress, overwhelm, anxiety, grief, pressure, difficult family dynamics, and exhaustion.

Over the years, I’ve worked with couples navigating anxiety, depression, autism, bipolar disorder, and other conditions that aren’t always visible to the people around them.

Supporting my clients that are living with these conditions, and similar, matters to me on a personal level.

I had my own struggles a while back, and I understand more than people might realise what it can feel like to carry difficult things quietly while still trying to function normally on the outside. Exhausting is an understatement.

I think that’s one of the reasons creating a calm, safe and supportive environment matters so much to me.

People often assume wedding coordinators are there just for timelines and logistics. But a huge part of the role is helping people feel supported, understood, and reassured, so that they are able to actually breathe and enjoy their day.

Mental Health Awareness Week feels like a good time to remind us all that we never fully know what somebody else may be carrying behind the scenes.

Kindness and patience can make more difference than we realise.

Byddwch yn garedig efo chi’ch hun. A chofiwch mod i yma i chi xx

Tomorrow, I head back into the world of S4C’s Priodas Pum Mil for wedding 1 of series 10 🥳

DEG cyfres. I lle ma’r amser wedi mynd? 🤯🥹

I still can’t quite believe I get to say I’ve been part of this journey since the very beginning.

I can’t say where we’re going yet (for obvious reasons 👀), but what I can say is what an absolute privilege it is to work alongside this team.

Here I am with the awesome presenters - Trystan & Emma 🩷 - and there are so many people behind the scenes who make this programme what it is.

Producers, runners, camera crew, sound, editors… every single person matters. Some of us have been there since 2016 (whaaat!) and there’s a real feeling of trust, respect, teamwork and pride.

At the heart of it all are the couples, their families and friends, all coming together to create a wedding day that may otherwise never have happened. I remind myself of this at every single wedding, which makes it even more special to me.

It’s emotional. It’s stressful. It’s hilarious (if you’ve watched - you’ll know! 😜). And it’s beautiful.

After all these years, it still feels like such a privilege to be part of it 🫶

Dwi’n teimlo’n hollol gyffrous i deithio draw at y criw fory, a rhoi diwrnod bendigedig i’r cwpwl dydd Iau - dyma ni’n mynd!! 🙌🏻✨💞

Let’s be honest, for this amazing couple, my answer was always going to be yes 🥹 The view is just an added bonus! 🌊

One of the loveliest parts of this job is getting to step into somebody else’s vision and help bring it to life.

And when that vision involves a place with this much meaning behind it, right on our doorstep in North Wales… it feels very special to be trusted with it 🫶🏻

Methu aros - ma hi’n mynd i fod yn ddiwrnod a hanner 😍

The reason I’ve shared Hana & Osian’s wedding a couple of times already this week…

Today is their wedding anniversary 💞🥹

This wedding is still one of my favourites from the last 13 years 🫶🏻

One of the things they wanted most from their wedding day was to feel calm, supported, and able to properly enjoy it all, without having to hold everything together themselves.

It’s a privilege to guide and support someone through the run-up to their wedding, and then watch them be fully present and enjoy every second of the day itself.

Happy anniversary 🩷

Pen blwydd priodas hapus iawn i chi’ch dau. Cyfnod bendigedig yn dy gwmni di am rhai misoedd Hana, a braint a phleser llwyr gallu bod yno i chi ar ddiwrnod y briodas.

Mwynewch y dathlu, bois! 🥳🎉🍾🎊

One thing couples often don’t realise when planning their morning timeline…

First look photos.

I promise you - they always take longer than you think.

Over the years, and especially through my time working on TV’s Priodas Pum Mil, I’ve seen just how important these become.

Whether it’s your bridesmaids, your mum, dad, siblings or children, these reactions deserve time.

I always encourage couples to leave at least half an hour in the morning for these photos, not forgetting those little pauses and reactions in between. The worst thing you can do is rush a moment you’ll never get back.

The calmer the morning feels, the more space there is to actually be present and enjoy it all.

This was a truly wonderful moment with Hana’s friends and family, beautifully captured by the talented Oliver.

Dwi’n dal i gofio’r moment yma 🥰

This is different to what I usually post… but if you have the time to read, I’d love to know what you think 🥰

Someone asked me the other day, as we met for the first time:

“So, be ti’n neud te, Alaw?”

And I paused.

Not because I didn’t have an answer… but because I wasn’t quite sure which one they meant.

In Welsh, it can mean both “what are you doing?” and “what do you do?”

Was it:
“Er… I’m drinking my tea…” 🤦🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️
or
“I’m an event planner” (plus a few other things!)

For a moment it really threw me, and I didn’t know where to go with it, so I said nothing at all. Slightly awkward. 🫣

It got me thinking though… because “what do you do?” is probably one of the most common things we ask when we meet someone new. It’s almost automatic.

But lately, I’ve found myself asking something different, and just letting the conversation unfold naturally, or I will ask “so, do you work?” instead of assuming that they do.

Not because there’s anything wrong with the question… this person wqs lovely and was giving their time to learn about each other… but because it can assume we all have the same kind of answer.

And the truth is, we don’t.

Some people work.
Some people can’t.
Some people choose not to.
Some people are raising families.
Some people are caring for others.
Some are figuring things out, or simply in a different space in life.

None of those stories are less valuable.

It just made me think how much we tie identity to what someone “does” - when really, it’s not the most important thing about us… right? 🩷

So I’m curious…

Is “what do you do?” just a harmless icebreaker, or does it carry more weight than we realise?

✨ 𝐈’𝐦 𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐭: you saw it here first! ✨

I’ve always felt that wedding cakes don’t get the attention they deserve. They absolutely deserve centre stage, not a bring left in a corner!

As couples, you put so much thought and money into the design, the flavours, the colours with your cake designer… and then on the day it so often ends up hidden, barely noticed.

So for the last couple of years, I’ve started doing things differently. Before the first danve, I move the cake onto the centre of the dancefloor.

You cut the cake there, in front of everyone, and then I whisk it away ready for your first dance.

Simple. Different. Bold. And it works! Honestly, the photos speak for themselves right?

For this styled shoot, I wanted to show exactly how powerful and beautiful that moment can be, and chose the perfect people for it…

A new way to celebrate your cake — front and centre, unforgettable, and absolutely worth it.
