Today is World Mental Health Day 🤍

And while weddings are, of course, about celebrating some of the happiest moments in life, that doesn’t mean the journey to them always feels happy or easy.

Wedding planning can bring excitement and anticipation, but it can also bring pressure. Money worries, family dynamics, endless decisions, expectations, comparison and the feeling that you should be enjoying every single second of it.

You’re allowed to find parts of it overwhelming.

At Swanley Meadows, we can’t take away every worry that comes with planning a wedding, but we can make sure you don’t feel like you have to carry all of the practical stuff on your own.

And actually, the same goes for me.

Working alongside Florence & Vera isn’t just about giving our couples brilliant support. It means I don’t carry the responsibility and pressure of your wedding days entirely on my own either. Having a team alongside me that I trust completely is important for my own wellbeing too.

I think there’s something in that for all of us - asking for help, sharing the load and recognising when something feels like a lot doesn’t make you any less capable.

There’s no perfect way to feel while planning a wedding. Be kind to yourself through it. 🤍

A few weeks on, and I still find myself thinking about this afternoon.

Now that the tipis are packed away, the tables cleared and the dust has well and truly settled, I think I can finally appreciate just how special it was.

Looking back through these beautiful photographs from .photos has brought it all back - the (small amount!) of sunshine, the flowers, the music, the laughter, the full tables, the little moments and, most importantly, all the wonderful people who came together to make it such a memorable afternoon.

It’s funny how, when you’re in the middle of something like this, you’re so busy making sure everything is running smoothly that you don’t always have a chance to stop and take it all in.

These photographs have given me that chance. 🤍

What started as an idea to raise a little money for two charities very close to my heart became an afternoon filled with so much generosity, community and joy.

And knowing that all of those little moments added up to something that will make a real difference makes me incredibly proud.

A few weeks later, the feeling is still very much the same…

What an afternoon.
What a community.
And what a lot of love went into making it happen. 🤍

Thank you .photos for capturing it so beautifully.

When Cat reached out after the event to ask if I’d like to do a cheque presentation, I hesitated. I hadn’t organised it for recognition or a pat on the back… I just wanted to do something meaningful with an empty weekend.

But the more I thought about it, the more I wanted to share this bit with my kids. To show them where the money is going and what it means. And to help them understand that behind those big cheques they’ll see on TV or social media are just normal people coming together to do a little bit of good.

So here we are, presenting East Cheshire Hospice with their half of the money we raised. A lovely way to round it all off 🤍

Thanks again to everyone who came along, donated or lent a hand - you helped turn an empty weekend into something really worthwhile. 💫

And thank you to East Cheshire Hospice for making the hardest times that little bit easier. 🌻

Swanley Meadows Wrapped is here… 👀

Season two is officially in the books, the tipis are down and we’ve got the numbers to prove just how much happened this year.

But behind every number was a couple, a family, a group of friends, a brilliant supplier and a whole lot of love.

Thank you to everyone who made season two so special – we’ve loved every minute. 🤍

Now for the big question… what will make it onto the Swanley Meadows Wrapped 2027? 👀

Proof that your wedding doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s 🤍

One of the things we love most about weddings here is seeing couples take the space and make it completely their own.

There really isn’t one “Swanley Meadows wedding”.

And we’d have it no other way.

I was asked what the most rewarding part of running Swanley Meadows is… 🤍

And ultimately, it comes back to the people.

The planning. The anticipation. The nerves. And then seeing everything come together and watching couples and their guests enjoy the day they’ve spent so long dreaming about.

As the sun sets on our 2026 season and the de-rig begins, I’m feeling beyond PROUD, incredibly grateful and completely exhausted. 😂🤍

What a season it has been.

THANK YOU to every single person who has booked, celebrated, attended, supplied, worked, recommended, shared, supported or had any kind of involvement with Swanley Meadows this year.

Every wedding, every event, every couple, every guest, every supplier and every person who has cheered us on has played a part in making this season what it has been.

For now, it’s time to take the tipis down, catch our breath and reflect on everything we’ve achieved in our second season.

2026, you’ve been absolutely bloody brilliant. 🌳🤍

See you in May, Swanley Meadows. ✨
