Here at Ella Bella Weddings and Events, I plan alternative weddings, centred around your personalities, likes and hobbies. Creating your unique wedding and matching you with the best badass suppliers for your visions to come to life.

Helping you prioritise what's important to you both and changing any part of the day that isn't.

Because I believe every couple should have the wedding day the

y truly want, no matter who they are or who they identify as.

So I'm here to show you, that you absolutely do have a choice, in every aspect of your wedding planning journey.

She now has a medical exemption card that will help with her prescriptions but that doesn’t cover her teeth or glasses. I have a meeting with our local MP on the 15th May and the complaint I put in about the CHC threatening us with residential care has been aknowleged. I am now looking into dutyship to hopefully have more say in Ella’s care, which will cost us thousands and can take years…

I will keep fighting for these young adults as I’ll be going through it all again in a few years time with her younger sister Chloe.

Will I see a change by then probably not but I can hope x

So for now back to weddings x x x 🌈

Thanks again for your support 🫶🏻

She’s only an adult when it suits apparently?

Sorry this isn’t my usual wedding post, but I would be doing a disservice to the SEN community if I didn’t speak out. There is so much more to this story that I can add, like how the lady in question is now on maternity leave after dropping that bombshell in my inbox and I would have been talking all day!

In a nutshell I have been threatened with residential care for Ella, which is just not suitable for her and has caused so much heartache and stress to the whole family. I am putting in a formal complaint thanks to but I don’t feel it’s enough because this is happening Nationally to many families and not all families have support. Has this happened to you? My inbox is open as something needs to be done.

We’re on the lookout for one, or possibly two special people to join our team and support our amazing daughter, Ella.

Ella is 19, but developmentally still very much a child, so we’re really looking for someone who understands that balance, someone who can support her with care needs while also bringing fun, energy and warmth into her world.

Experience with SEN children (or adults with similar needs) would be brilliant, but it’s not essential as full training can be given. The right personality matters more than a perfect CV.

Hours:
We can offer up to 40 hours per week (possibly more) for the right person, or we’re happy to split the hours between two carers. The role is Monday–Friday.
The role will include:
• Personal care (including bathing, dressing and toileting)
• Morning and bedtime routines
• Supporting with feeding
• Driving Ella to and from college (twice a week) 
• Days out and activities
• Helping her enjoy life to the fullest
A driving licence is essential, and you’ll be able to drive our wheelchair accessible vehicle.

Funding is through Continuing Healthcare and will be £12.71 from April

About us:
We’re a welcoming, laid-back, fun family who love laughter and making memories.

We’re looking for someone reliable and consistent who can gently slot into our family life, someone who will show up, be present and build a genuine connection with Ella.

This isn’t just a job to us; it’s inviting someone into our home and our daughter’s world.

If you’re kind, dependable, patient, and don’t mind a bit of silliness along the way, we’d absolutely love to hear from you.

Please get in touch and tell us a bit about yourself and why you feel this role would be a good fit.

We can’t wait to meet you!

It’s a long one, but today I’m talking about the experience we had as a family of 6 with two wheelchair users in Disney. ✨

How are we already nearing the end of January?! 😅

I’ve just got back from a trip to Disney and, yes, I’m officially making it my whole personality for a while…

But one thing that really hit me while I was there was the overwhelm, every time I stepped into the park. So many rides, so many choices, so much pressure to “do it all” and not miss a thing.

And it suddenly clicked… that’s exactly how wedding planning can feel.

You walk in excited, full of ideas, and then you’re hit with venues, suppliers, opinions, timelines, budgets, all at once. It’s magical… but also a lot.

At Disney, the days that felt the best weren’t the ones where we tried to do everything, they were the ones where we had a plan, knew our priorities, and allowed space to enjoy the moment.

Wedding planning works the same way.
You don’t need everything. You just need the right things for you and a clear plan to get there.

Chaos to Magic ✨

Let’s make next year even bolder ✨
