Your Wedding Friend

Your Wedding Friend If you're planning a wedding or event, no matter how small, and need a hand getting started, or had your helpers let you down, Your Wedding Friend is here.

My aim is help out couples who are struggling to plan their special day. Everyone knows time is precious and although everyone has dreams of a perfect wedding day not everyone has the capacity and skills to make it happen by themselves. I also know that sometimes friends and family say they'll help but are suddenly unavailable when the need arises. I'm offering a helping hand, a confidante for tho

se planning a secret, advice and support for those who need it, when they need it. No need to book 2 years in advance. If you suddenly find yourself struggling to get things ready I'm here for you. I am a friend at a time of greatest need. Alternately, if you need a bit more support from the start, I'm available to guide you through the early stage panic (so much to do and where to start!?) all the way to the final dance.

Love this from - a note to venues explain te biodegradable nature of their confetti along with suggested timescales for how long it'll actually take to biodegrade.

You don't get that with off the shelf and temu/shein confetti. I've had the unfortunate responsibility of telling couples and guests on the day that they can't use their planned confetti as it most definitely wasn't biodegradable.

You may ask why is this a problem, well I can tell you that much in the same way of balloons released to the skies, they fall to the ground, cause wildlife to choke on them and the plastic content makes them impossible to degrade properly. The mess is also a massive issue to venues, even paper confetti, which gets blown everywhere, creates such an unsightly mess that someone has to go out of their way to clear it up.
For a 5 second photo op the fallout for some venues is just too much.
As with all things wedding, check the small print before choosing and buying confetti. You could end up with a clear up bill or fine if you ignore warnings and rules. Or your confetti could end up being confiscated - I always try to have spare petal confetti for just in case.

If you're not allowed confetti at all consider streamer wands or bubbles instead. And please, No Balloon Releases! X

When wedding stress is more than feeling a bit overwhelmed. When it feels like you'd rather do literally anything than stand in front of people and speak. When you seriously consider harm in order to get out of your own wedding, or the responsibility you've been given at someone else's wedding. It's time to consider solutions because you shouldn't be feeling this way. And there are solutions.

Whether it's a real fear of being the centre of attention, or 'public' speaking, or dancing, or bees at your outdoor wedding, or anxiety and panic attacks that everything will go wrong. All of these fears are real but they don't have to be crippling. There are solutions. Some more simple than others. Some I can and do help with. Some where other professionals support could actually help you in bigger lifelong lasting ways. And no they don't all cost £100s or need months of therapy.

Between my own dealings with anxiety and the contacts I've amassed from all walks of life, I can make recommendations to you that can truly turn your wedding stress around.

In the meantime, enjoy this calming viewing of the Cambridgeshire countryside from a beautiful outdoor wedding a couple of years back.

Sorry but us wedding suppliers sometimes forget that this is probably the first wedding you're planning. Or at least the first wedding you're really paying attention to all the details.
Us wedding suppliers often forget that you don't know the jargon and terminology. And we can easily bamboozle you with all the whats and how's of wedding planning, without checking that you're keeping up.

I promise we're not trying to be rude but we just know what we're doing and we know the short hand way to express it.

When we work together you might find that I talk quite quickly, but I'd like to think that you'd feel comfortable enough to stop me to ask a question. And I'm always saying there are no daft questions, so it's always best to ask it.

It might be your first time it's definitely not mine. X

Last day 'in the office' before I have a few days off. No weddings for me this weekend. Fairly rare occurrence but I'm grateful for the down time.

In the meantime, please admire this snack wall all neatly arranged in tidy rows of matching packets of crisps and things. Always a winner, and a great job to give to someone who loves repetitive tasks.

When it comes to having helpers for your DIY wedding/event, deciding what tasks to share and who to, is key to a successful and stress free set up. Too many helpers for too few tasks, or designating the wrong task to someone, and you'll spend more time answering a million questions than getting jobs done. But if you have a couple of neat freaks like me on your team, you'll be surprised by how easy and quickly things can be done. x

One week ago the gorgeous Michelle and Anthony got married on my home turf in Luton.

After their church ceremony they held the wedding breakfast and evening reception Riverside Suite.
This fab venue allows external catering though they have their own well stocked bar. Dry hire is a great option if you're looking for flexibility and freedom of choice.

I worked for the couple with my Helping Hands offer of advice and hand holding in advance, but our main focus was overseeing and assisting with on the day setting up of the families own decorations and table settings. Whilst greeting and guiding other suppliers who provided the chair covers, table cloths, cake and shimmer wall.

A great team effort all round. And with the addition of a fun slide show, which provided their back drop, I think it all turned out gorgeous.

Congratulations again to Michelle and Anthony x
