KIND WORDS // "I couldn't recommend Michelle's services enough. We had a difficult time planning our first attempt at a wedding (which was cancelled by the pandemic) and so we were looking for help with the second attempt in September. We thought we had most things covered after the first attempt but, as they say, you don't know what you don't know. Michelle asked questions in our first meeting with her that we'd never even considered previously She got to the heart of what represented us as a couple and she turned that into something beautiful and personal.

We had some issues with suppliers along the way - Michelle handle them all very aptly, and took the stress out of what easily could've been a painful experience. I also had family drama along the way, Michelle was sensitive to this and made suggestions for how to ensure continued smooth running. And then on the day itself, Michelle was a godsend! I had several guests comment on how calm I was through the day - a genuine big thank you to all the forethought and planning that Michelle put in to make it so easy, and all her efforts on the day."

BLOG POST // QUALITY FABRIC GIFT WRAPPING // This week on the blog, Cathy and Yukki from are introducing us to beautiful wedding furoshiki gift wrapping.

Furoshiki originated as a very special cloth for the wrapping of the treasures of the Japanese Imperial Court, in a city just outside Kyoto over a thousand years ago. Zusetsu is now the largest supplier of the traditional, authentic Japanese furoshiki in the UK.

This method of wrapping is increasing in popularity as many of us are reacting to the sea of plastic and waste in daily life. People want something simpler to wrap items in but also something that is beautiful and reusable. So instead of using unrecyclable paper and plastic tape to wrap your wedding gifts and table favours in, why not create a stunning table setting with the elegance of furoshiki.

In Japan, a bride would be gifted a furoshiki in which to wrap her wedding trousseau, and she would continue to use her furoshiki throughout her married life. The thought behind all of these furoshiki is that they will be absorbed into the family after the ceremony and become a well loved and well used gift wrap for many years to come.

BLOG POST // SUSTAINABLE WEDDING VEILS // In the age of fast fashion many brides have hit the pause button. Online searches for sustainable fashion are on the increase, and many brides are now looking for more eco-friendly bridal fashion...and that includes wedding veils.

But can you really wear a wedding veil that has been recycled? We spoke to Rebekah McCann-Williams, Creative Designer at to find out.

Extending the lifespan of a garment is one of the key elements of sustainable fashion. Stored in lofts all over the country are beautiful wedding veils – once cherished as a precious garment and now almost forgotten and hidden from site. With the expertise of a wedding veil designer, this can be a wonderfully creative way to continue your sustainable wedding planning, by choosing to restore an existing wedding veil to its former glory. Imagine the impact if only a small percentage of brides choose to repurpose an old wedding veil rather than buying new.

Check out our latest blog post to find out more about veil restoration, repair and redesign (link in bio).

AUTUMN WEDDING TIP // The Autumn brings bright, crisp days, colourful trees and early evening sunsets.

🧡The falling leaves make for the most beautiful photography backdrop, they also make the most wonderful, natural, seasonal confetti. Spend a day wandering around the wood the week or so before your wedding collecting a basket full of colourful, crisp leaves.

💛It can be a difficult time for many to get time off work, with the children returning back to school and the recent summer holidays, annual leave can be hard to come by for many. Think about choosing a venue that is easily accessible for the majority of guests and that they could travel to and home in the day.

💚Money can also be tight in the autumnal months, with many paying off summer holidays and starting to save for Christmas.

SUSTAINABLE LUXURY // This week our recent styled shoot showcasing sustainable luxury was featured on ⁣
⁣
"Set in the heart of the dreaming spires, the Bodleian Libraries is a historic venue steeped in romance and elegance. The spaces feature late gothic architecture in the Divinity School and a fan vaulted ceiling in Convocation House, offering a unique yet traditional Oxford experience.⁣
⁣
This shoot isn’t just about showcasing the venue, but it has an important message at its core – sustainability. The venue pulled together a local team of conscious suppliers that are either working sustainably or working towards it. We hope this inspires you in your own planning and choices." ⁣

CHEERS // Have you thought about switching to UK wine for your wedding? In 2020 launched its Sustainable Wines of Great Britain (SWGB) certification scheme, in recognition of the growing wine industry’s environmental responsibility from vineyard to bottle. ⁣🍾
⁣
They launched with 29 founding members, including some of our favourites ⁣
⁣
They've also created a carbon calculator for vineyards to help them to understand their emissions. 💚⁣

KIND WORDS // I can’t believe its been 3 years since this beautiful couple got married! It was such a pleasure managing the day for them.

"From the very first contact with Michelle she was friendly, helpful and informative. Nothing was too much trouble and she made some really useful suggestions as to how to make our day run as we wanted it to. We can’t thank her enough for all of her help in making our day the most wonderful experience. Michelle went above and beyond.” ⠀⠀

IT'S GETTING HOT IN HERE // If you're getting married in the July or August you should consider the weather. Right now we're experiencing a heatwave, and for weddings, inside or out, that can bring some challenges.

☀️Marquees get hot and trap the heat. If you're thinking about having a marquee make sure the sides can be opened or removed altogether. Consider cooler alternatives like tipis, stretch tents and yurts.

🌳Trees are your friend, they provide much needed shade and help to keep your guests comfortable through what is usually a long day. Putting some seating under the tree will encourage people to take a break from the sun.

🪑Think about the furniture - no one wants to be sitting on a hot metal chair in the heat of the day!

💧Keeping hydrated is essential in the heat. Talk to your caterer about providing self service water with reusable cups.

🌜Instead of a morning or even afternoon ceremony, opt for an early evening wedding when the temperature is cooler. The long Summer days mean you'll still have plenty of daylight and a whole day to get ready!

CONSCIOUS CATERING // Did you know that one of the simplest sustainable changes you can make to your wedding day is to add more plant based foods to your menu? ⠀⁣
⁣
Be creative with you menu. It’s not for everyone, but you could consider incorporating more plant based dishes into your wedding breakfast. Vegetarian canapés, side dishes, or vegan desserts maybe? It’ll have a lower impact on the planet, without sacrificing the taste as plant-based foods, on average, consume far fewer resources to produce.⠀⁣
⁣
Having an open, honest conversation with your caterers is key. Talk to them about where they source their produce, the more local they are, the less carbon footprint they have!⠀⁣
⁣
Be creative about where the raw ingredients come from. 🌽🌶🫑There are also lots of fantastic companies that can provide you with tasty, seasonal produce that would have previously been destined for the rubbish bin.⁣

SUMMER PLANNING // This week we've been busy planning for 2022 Summer weddings as well as confirming the details for the coming months, and it got me thinking. What are the things you should think about when planning a Summer wedding? ⁣
⁣
Although we all love the warmth of the sun on our face, your guests certainly don't want to sit in an hour long ceremony in the hottest part of the day.⁣
⁣
Consider carefully who you really want to be there on your day. August is a prime holiday month, with the majority of families with children taking at least one holiday. July and June less so, but are still popular months for weddings so although they might not be on holiday, they might be invited to another wedding! Get your save the dates out early!⁣
⁣
Carefully consider who is most important to you and your groom to be there — and get your save-the-dates out there early.⁣
⁣
Summer weddings usually have a longer planning lead time due to it being such a popular few months. We recommend at least 18 months, but of course, it can be done in less. Our planning record for a Summer wedding this year was 3 days!⁣
