Steal these: two autumn wedding timelines for a UK wedding 🍂

Early October gives you sunset around 6.30pm. November gives you around 4.15pm. That one detail changes your whole day, from when you do portraits to when your evening guests arrive.

Swipe for both timelines, plus the five autumn rules I’d follow whichever date you choose.

Are you getting married in autumn?

Okay, listen up anyone who’s three months out with a half-empty wedding planner and a racing heart.

Three months before Harriet & Umberto’s wedding, they had no flowers, no photographer, no content creator, no bridesmaid dresses and no one to run their special day.

You may think they’re mad, but their relaxed approach is what made their day so special.

So what happened? They trusted suppliers who are early on in their career, me included. Every one of us turned up and gave it their all.

So if you’re stressed or feel behind with wedding planning, please remember, book the things you’d be upset if they were missing. Then breathe. Everything else can be simple.

You’re not behind. You’re just not finished yet. 🤍

Your wedding. Your rules.

Somewhere along the way, weddings became full of “shoulds.”

You should invite everyone.
You should follow every tradition.
You should spend a fortune.
You should keep everyone happy.

But here’s your reminder…

You don’t have to do any of it.

If a small guest list feels right, do it.
If you’d rather spend your budget on incredible food, do it.
If skipping traditions means your day feels more like you, do it.

The best weddings aren’t the most expensive or the most extravagant.

They’re the ones that feel like you.

So, consider this your permission slip. 🤍

Which did you need to hear the most?

If you’re currently drowning in wedding planning stress, this is your reminder to zoom out.

The venue emails that go unanswered. The seating plan that won’t come together. The family opinions you didn’t ask for. The budget spreadsheet you open at midnight. It all feels so enormous right now, and that’s completely valid. Wedding planning is a lot.

But here’s the perspective shift nobody tells you when you get engaged: the wedding is one day. The marriage is the rest of your life. And the things that are stressing you out right now? You genuinely won’t remember most of them a year from now.

What you will remember is the moment you saw them at the end of the aisle. The first dance. The table that laughed the loudest. The end of the night when it was just the two of you.

So if today feels heavy, let this be your sign to put the to-do list down for a little while. You’re not just planning a wedding. You’re stepping into the best part.

Launching this website feels like such a huge step for me.

What started as an idea after planning my own wedding has slowly turned into something real. A brand built around slower, more meaningful weddings that actually feel like you.

There’s still so much to learn and build, but getting this site live feels like the first proper leap and I’m really proud of it.

Thank you to everyone who’s supported, encouraged, listened to ideas, or followed along so far. The Good Part Weddings is officially live, go give us a visit at www.thegoodpartweddings.co.uk 🤍

Took myself off to a yoga retreat for a few days. No emails, no client calls, no Pinterest rabbit holes.

And somewhere between the breathwork and the silence I remembered something I tell every couple I work with. The best moments of your wedding won’t be the ones you planned to death. They’ll be the ones you were actually fully present for.

The look on your person’s face. The speech nobody saw coming. The song that filled the dancefloor.
You can’t manufacture those. You can only stop being so consumed by the details so that you don’t miss them entirely.

You can’t plan for those. you can only show up and be fully present for them.

If your wedding planning has started to feel more stressful than exciting, that’s my sign to step in 👇

I need to talk about the word bridezilla.

Because I hear it all the time.

From brides who apologise for having an opinion. From brides who add people they don’t really want to the guest list because they don’t want to seem difficult. From brides who stop asking questions because someone made them feel like too much.

And it makes me furious.

We have been told our whole lives to want less, ask for less, take up less space.

Bossy. Emotional. Difficult. Bridezilla.
Different word, same message.

But here’s the thing. You are planning one of the biggest days of your life. You are allowed to care deeply about it. You are allowed to have the people in that room actually mean something to you. You are allowed to set boundaries, have opinions, and stop shrinking for people who have never once made an effort for you.

That is not being a bridezilla. That is knowing your worth.

You deserve to enjoy every part of this. If you’re not, that’s what I’m here for.

DM me and let’s talk.

Your wedding won’t look like your Pinterest board. And that’s the best thing about it.

Pinterest is full of perfect tablescapes and golden hour portraits but real weddings have weather you didn’t plan, speeches that break everyone, and moments you couldn’t have scripted if you tried.

That’s not the failure. That’s the good part.

If you’re planning your wedding and feeling the pressure to make it look a certain way, this is your reminder that the most memorable moments are never the ones you pinned.

Save this if you need to hear it. And if you’re ready to start planning a wedding that actually feels like you, drop me a message.

Hot take: the “anything for the white dress” trend is not healthy.

I’ve seen this trend everywhere.

The pressure to lose weight, be stricter, push harder, look ‘perfect’ for one day.

And I get it... of course we all want to feel confident on our wedding day. I did too.

But somewhere along the way it’s turned into
‘change everything about yourself to be worthy of the dress’

And that just doesn’t sit right with me.

I don’t want to look back at this time and remember stress, restriction, or feeling like I wasn’t enough.

I want to remember being excited.
Being in love.
Feeling like me.

I realised that choosing to show up as l am, because that’s the person my partner is marrying, was more than enough.
