Just a few details from an epic Western themed event we designed and planned for our corporate client’s annual party 🤠🐎

I had a brilliant time coming up with all the theming for this one - from the Western themed decor to a rodeo bull, it was an excellent night. And of course - bringing unreal amounts of energy to round the night off!

Thank you to everyone that helped bring this vision to life - every element from the elevated food truck style catering by , to the exceptional props brought the world of the Westerns to present day Norfolk!

The festive season may feel far away, but when it comes to planning a Christmas party, the most memorable celebrations begin now. 🎄✨

A corporate Christmas event is more than a gathering - it’s a chance to thank your team, celebrate achievements, and create an atmosphere that feels both effortless and extraordinary.

A few ways we help our clients design unforgettable festive evenings:
✨ Venue selection – From historic houses to contemporary spaces, we find the perfect setting.
✨ Immersive design – Lighting, florals, and styling that feel seasonal without ever being cliché. Oh, and we love a theme!
✨ Seamless flow – Every detail, from entertainment to timings, managed discreetly so you can simply enjoy the evening.

Many of you are ending summer engaged, enamoured and excited to start planning your wedding!

And what better time? As the nights draw in, there is plenty of time and space to start getting some first ideas and inspirations together.

But where to begin? Well, now is a great time to start that Pinterest board for starters!

You can also start thinking about venue - as this will likely be the first, major thing that you book. And you'll need to book with plenty of time in advance, especially if you're hoping to get married in the summer, or abroad.

These early days are also a really good time to start thinking about your priorities - what is essential to you as a couple? What is going to represent the both of you best? What will make your wedding truly unique and special to you?

And of course, now is the perfect time to reach out to your wedding designer! We can help you with all of these elements, from design and inspiration, to venue hunting.

My beautiful, recent couple enlisted Bake-Off Finalist Steven Carter-Bailey to make their beautiful wedding cake - and it was absolutely divine!

The cake was loved by all, and there was plenty to go around! Enough in fact, for the couple to have an entire tier to take home for themselves!

Congratulations M & A 🤍

As August draws to a close, and September begins, we find ourselves savoring the beauty of late-summer celebrations. Soft golden light, garden tables filled with seasonal abundance, and the gentle shift toward autumn’s richness.

Each season brings its own poetry to weddings, but there’s something about this transition that feels especially magical.

I am busy prepping for my final weddings of this summer, and already looking ahead to my beautiful Autumn events and I truly cannot wait for every one of them.

Preparing for your first meeting with a wedding planner is an incredibly exciting time!

But it's not always easy to know what you need to prep, or ask! Here are just a few of my tips on how to make sure you get the most out of your initial meet.

✨ Bring your vision, not perfection
You don’t need a full Pinterest board. Just a feeling. A color, a season, a place you love. I can then help translate that into your event.

✨ Be honest about priorities
Whether it’s guest experience, design, or location share what matters most to you. It helps me shape a celebration that truly reflects you both as a couple.

✨ Have a sense of your guest count and location style
It’s perfectly fine if nothing’s set yet, but a rough idea helps guide the conversation around venues and flow.

✨ Ask anything
This is your space to feel supported. No question is too small or too early! I'm here to help clarify and guide from the very beginning.

✨ Trust your instinct
Connection matters. You’ll be planning something deeply personal. It's important you to feel not only understood, but truly cared for.

Your wedding planning journey starts with one conversation. Let’s make it intentional, exciting, and entirely your own.

Making room for the moments that matter

One of the most important things I take into consideration when planning my couples' weddings is - do they get enough time for each other?

Often, brides and grooms place so much emphasis on their guests that they forget to consider themselves in the planning process.

That is why I'm here - to make sure that we include time for those special moments just the two of you, whether that's for your portrait photos, on the dance floor, or somewhere secret away from everything.

2026 couples, I see you...

Whilst my 2025 couples are in the final stages of their planning process, and some who are currently enjoying their honeymoons already, I'm also now excitedly working on some very exciting concepts for next year too!

Because family comes in all forms—four paws included. 🐾

Bringing your dog (or cat… or miniature horse—we’ve seen it all) down the aisle isn’t just adorable—it’s meaningful. They’ve been there through the quiet mornings, the late-night planning, and all the in-between moments. Why wouldn’t they be there for this one?

Whether they walk the aisle, wear a floral collar, or simply make a graceful appearance in portraits, we make sure your furry friend feels just as welcome and considered as every other guest.
