Your wedding day may be about you and your hubby to be, but there are so many people supporting you, guiding you and simply being there for you on the day. Please invest some time when you return home from your honeymoon to send warm, heartfelt and gracious handwritten thank you notes to everyone [...]

Brides who are happiest, sexiest and most at ease on their wedding days are always the ones who don’t try and stray too much from their everyday look. If you never wear your hair up off your face and never wear navy eyeliner, then why would you do it on your wedding day? [...]

I have never worked with clients who don’t gush at the end of the event about how wonderful and relaxing their day has been. If you can afford it, do invest in professionals to help you with your wedding day. The couple and their families need to enjoy the celebration and one another, [...]

I think my Dad’s speech at my own wedding was the best wedding speech ever! He was sentimental, gloriously happy, filled with pride and love for his children, his wife and his new extended family. One of the loveliest things Dad did was talk about how much in love he is with my [...]

I love it when a couple includes family traditions in their wedding day. It might be Grandma’s cookie recipe, Aunt Bea’s antique wedding setting or a traditional family song used as the bridal waltz.

We recommend you extend your “wedding day” to a “wedding weekend” and include your best friends and family in many [...]

To really make an impact without it costing the earth, we love tall floral branches in high vases as centrepieces. When you walk into a room filled with tall arrangements of cherry blossoms in particular, you feel as though no expense has been spared, although they aren’t expensive at all! For extra impact, [...]

When I work with clients to put together their big day, we start with a conversation about what they have dreamed of. It’s important to me that the dreams are big and the imagination is wild because we shouldn’t be limited by budget in the first instance. I always say, start with a grand wish-list [...]
