Wedding planning advice I’d give my worst enemy…

If I was actively rooting for your wedding to be stressful, over budget, and full of regrets, here’s exactly what I’d tell you to do:

• Invite everyone you’ve ever met
• Let your uncle with a “really good camera” take the photos
• Ask for opinions from absolutely everyone. The more conflicting advice, the better.
• DIY everything. Centrepieces, stationery, cake…who needs sleep anyway?
• Skip creating a wedding day timeline. Just wing it.
• Leave all the important decisions until the last month
• Have no wet-weather backup plan
• Try to please every family member involved
• Assume your guests know where they’re going and what they’re doing
• Don’t eat breakfast on your wedding morning
• Book suppliers based on price alone
• Skip hiring a coordinator because “my bridesmaids can handle it.”

Luckily, I actually like my couples, so I’d recommend doing the exact opposite 😉

Which one made you wince the most? Or which one have you actually seen happen? Tell me below ⬇️

Grooms, don’t just wing it on the wedding morning!

A smooth, stress-free start doesn’t happen by accident, especially for the Groom.

These simple tips can help you feel calm, prepared and fully present as you head into the best day of your life. From packing a second shirt and rehearsing your speech, to writing a heartfelt card and allowing proper time to get ready – it all adds up to a smoother start.

And if you’ve got a wedding planner by your side? Even better. We’ll be the ones pinning buttonholes, delivering those morning gifts, keeping things on schedule and making sure everything flows beautifully behind the scenes.

Because you deserve to enjoy every moment, too.

Your 2027 wedding planning starts here…

Before you book a venue, there’s one decision that sets everything else in motion: your wedding budget.

Knowing your budget upfront gives you clarity on which venues, suppliers, and extras are realistic - and helps avoid disappointment later.

Tip: The month and even the day of your wedding can affect overall costs, so it’s worth considering when planning. And if you have an ideal date in mind for a registrar-led ceremony, always check availability with your local registry office first.

Your guest list also plays a big part: the number of people you invite affects not only your venue options but also catering, décor, and overall costs.

Need some guidance with your wedding budget? Send me a DM and we can chat about how I can support you.

There are plenty more where these came from!

Are you planning the wedding you actually want or the wedding the internet says you should have?

Things I’m not gatekeeping as a luxury wedding planner:

1. Your guests won’t remember every detail. They’ll remember how your wedding felt. Prioritise the atmosphere and experience over endless décor extras.

2. A bigger budget doesn’t automatically mean a better wedding. Thoughtful decisions will always have more impact than simply spending more.

3. Pinterest is inspiration, not a checklist. Some of the most beautiful weddings I’ve planned looked nothing like the latest trends.

4. Not every wedding tradition is worth keeping. If it doesn’t feel like you, it’s perfectly acceptable to leave it out.

5. Investing in the right suppliers will make more difference than investing in more things. Great professionals don’t just deliver a service; they create a smoother, more enjoyable experience from start to finish.

6. Your timeline matters more than you think. A well-paced wedding day allows you to be present and actually enjoy the moments you’ve spent months planning.

7. Nobody ever tells me they wish they’d spent more on favours. They do tell me they wish they’d spent more time with their guests.

8. Luxury isn’t about how much you spend. It’s about creating a wedding that feels effortless, personal and genuinely reflective of you.

Would you call it attention to detail or OCD?! 😂

I genuinely believe the smallest details make the biggest difference to how your wedding day feels.

So yes, I will straighten the candles, realign the chairs and measure the cutlery spacing; because going above and beyond for my clients isn’t just about the big moments, it’s about making sure every little part of the day feels intentional.

If you’re planning your wedding and want someone who cares about the little details just as much as the big ones, send me a DM 🤍

Do any of these surprise you?

As a luxury wedding planner, the final hour before the ceremony is a whirlwind - but every detail matters. Here’s how we make sure everything runs seamlessly:

• Help the bride into her dress, ensuring she feels comfortable & confident

• Perfectly place buttonholes onto the groom and wedding party

• Coordinate first looks with the photographer and videographer

• Spend time with the bride and groom to calm nerves and offer reassurance before the big moment

• Place the final ceremony touches, including order of service, signage, and any personal details to create the perfect setting

• Liaise with catering and bar teams to confirm drinks, canapés, and welcome refreshments are prepared and timed perfectly

• Perform last-minute inspections at the reception venue (if separate from the ceremony) to ensure décor, seating, and table settings are flawless

• Welcome musicians and ensure all their requirements are met, guiding them to their setup location

• Speak with the transport company to confirm the bride’s arrival schedule is running smoothly (if she is staying off site)

• Greet registrars or liaise with the vicar to ensure pre-ceremony meetings and protocols are in place

• Welcome and direct guests to their seats

• Keep a close eye on the timeline so that each part of the morning runs perfectly, allowing the couple to relax and enjoy these special moments

Not the budget. Not the flowers. Not the venue.

The weddings people talk about for years are the ones that feel deeply personal and deliver a beautiful guest experience from start to finish.

It comes down to how guests are welcomed, how the day flows, and whether every moment feels intentional rather than just “planned”. It is the atmosphere created through music, lighting, food, and most importantly, how included people feel in the celebration.

Weddings that are forgotten often look beautiful but feel the same as many others. They might be Pinterest-perfect, but there is nothing anchoring the experience to the couple or giving guests emotional touchpoints to hold onto.

If you want a wedding that people genuinely remember, it is not about doing more. It is about being intentional with every moment your guests experience, so the day feels as good as it looks.

If you are planning your wedding and want help creating a day that feels seamless, personal and unforgettable, I would love to help 🤍

Not every tradition needs to be included…

More couples in 2026 are choosing to plan weddings that feel calm, personal, and intentional, rather than ticking off traditions that don’t quite fit who they are or how they want the day to feel.

Here are 5 traditions couples are quietly letting go of:

1. The bouquet toss
Once a well-known reception tradition, this is now rarely seen at modern weddings. Many couples choose to skip it altogether, preferring to keep the flow of the day natural and uninterrupted, especially when it doesn’t feel relevant to their guest mix.

2. Multiple formal speeches as standard
Rather than the expectation that several people must speak, couples are becoming more intentional here. Fewer / shorter speeches, or informal toasts are becoming more common to keep the atmosphere relaxed and engaging.

3. Large, perfectly symmetrical wedding parties
The traditional line-up of bridesmaids and groomsmen is becoming less common. Instead, couples are choosing smaller, mixed, or no formal wedding party at all, focusing on meaningful support rather than symmetry or tradition.

4. A strictly structured wedding breakfast
Many couples are opting for more relaxed dining styles such as sharing-style service, grazing tables, or informal feasting menus rather than a formal plated three-course meal.

5. Overly rigid wedding timelines
Rather than sticking to a strict order of events, many weddings are now shaped around the atmosphere couples want to create. Speeches might happen earlier, and moments like the first dance are often made more relaxed or less formally structured.

Weddings are becoming less about following what’s always been done, and more about choosing what genuinely feels right for you and your guests.

If you’re in the middle of wedding planning and want support making decisions that actually fit your day, I’d love to help. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed with choices, unsure what to keep or skip, or just want a calm, experienced perspective on shaping your timeline and plans, feel free to get in touch 🤍

Would you have guessed these?!

1. Intentional design from start to finish
Every element feels considered. From colour palette to stationery, nothing is accidental. Luxury weddings prioritise cohesion over excess, creating a refined overall aesthetic.

2. A seamless guest experience
Luxury is felt in how guests are treated. Clear communication, smooth transitions, thoughtful timings and comfort at every stage all elevate the experience beyond appearance.

3. High-quality, carefully chosen suppliers
It’s not about how many suppliers you have, but how well they deliver. Luxury weddings rely on trusted professionals who understand the brief and execute it flawlessly.

4. Attention to detail in every touchpoint
From table settings to signage, luxury is in the micro-details. These small, intentional choices create a layered and elevated feel throughout the day.

5. A well-paced, stress-free timeline
Nothing feels rushed. Luxury weddings allow space for moments to breathe, ensuring the day feels calm, natural and beautifully paced.

6. Personalisation that tells a story
The best luxury weddings reflect the couple. Whether through vows, styling choices or meaningful details, the wedding feels deeply personal rather than generic.

7. A wedding planner who brings it all together
Whether it’s full-service planning or a wedding day coordinator, having a professional overseeing the logistics ensures everything runs seamlessly. This is often the difference between a beautiful wedding and a truly luxury-feeling experience.
