Happy Monday!

Not quite the weather I hoped for this morning as I head to Scampston to oversee a photo shoot….

Yesterday saw me working another @bridesupnorth fair at @grantleyhall_

Thank you to Julia for trusting me to help run it without her being there and also letting me have a stand of my own.

What have you got planned this week?

What a day!!

It’s been great fun helping @bridesupnorth at their annual Wedstock event… my first one with the team and what a privilege to have a stand there too.

Let me know if you picked up a postcard or some sweets.

Next week I’ll be running their Grantley Hall event with @dreamboatsandcarousels so come say hi to us.

After 20 months of no events, I can’t tell you how exciting it is to start receiving professional photos of things I’ve been involved in again. (As a rule I don’t share my own on my grid as I am such a bad photographer).

I first met Claire and Frank back in February 2019 when they booked me to fully plan their 2020 wedding… we know how that story went but it just meant I got the pleasure of their company for a year longer.

We designed a celestial theme with constellation designs on the stationery and cake. Navy satin linen with matching seat pads for the chairs and then the contrast of deep pinks for the florals as a nod to Claire’s favourite colour.

The wedding took place at Rudding Park which was a very different vibe for me but with one of the loveliest couples to work with and a host of fabulous suppliers involved, the day was a huge success.

Saturday 💕

After years of gaining experience of working in lots of different wedding settings and offering advice along the way, last year I decided to make Venue Consultation an official service and since then I’ve been working with two wonderful new places.

From around June last year, I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know Catherine & Stuart the owners of @sedgewellbarnweddings their family, their existing team who work on other parts of the business and then of course work alongside amazing industry suppliers who’ve helped us all bring this new venue to life.

You may have seen it from me managing the first Yorkshire @modernloveweddingsuk fair but on Saturday we hosted our first wedding which was nerve wracking but ended on such a high, knowing everything went to plan.

There’s always room to develop and there are more plans afoot at the venue before the 2022 season kicks off with the more continuous weddings there but thank you Mr & Mrs Thurland for putting your trust in us and thank you to the following suppliers for making the first wedding there, a total success.

#throwbackthursday

To our third and *final wedding of the year at @scampston a few weeks ago.

It was an absolute pleasure to coordinate the reception of the new Mr & Mrs Nash (and their bridal squad).

Originally George was going to row down the lake to meet Katie on the bridge for their ceremony which I was super excited about, but like almost everything in 2020, plans had to change and the couple opted for a personal ceremony back home before coming to celebrate their reception as the first restriction lifted wedding on the grounds.

* This wedding was set to be the last at the venue but we’ve all loved having them here so much again, myself, the venue owner and team have tweaked packages and will be offering something new very soon!

Now you see me….now you don’t!

The role of a planner to coordinate your day should be to work hard around, in-front and behind the scenes BUT you don’t really notice them on the day because you’re too busy having fun and everything is running smoothly!

I love this visual representation of that by @dannycooper_photography who asked me to ‘floof out’ (technical name) the veil as there was zero wind the other week but then he’d photoshop me out 🤣🤣

Also just one of the many jobs we’re ready and happy to assist with.

My heart is bursting

To be able to share an actual REAL wedding on my grid again….. it’s been a year since that last happened and they were memories of 2019!!

It’s been an absolute pleasure to have been back at @scampston for my first three weddings in over 20 months although tinged with sadness as it’s the venues last ever three.

Here is the amazing @kguest1994 and Matthew, who were an absolute dream to work with, looking all kinds of awesome!

📸 taken by @cluskeysmith who it was great to catch up with again too.

Happy Thursday everyone. How’s your week going

Happy Thursday everyone.

How’s your week going?
My husband and I are tag teaming on work and kids as they’ve both got rotten colds and feeling really sorry for themselves…. I’m trying to be caring whilst also keeping my distance as I do not want to get ill for the 4 weeks of back to back weddings I have coming up.

Hopefully the return of the gorgeous sunshine will help. Sunshine helps everything right?

#throwbackthursday to this beautiful shoot at @hootonpagnellhall where the sunshine definitely helped bring our day to life.

Evidentially we only get good weather when we have to lockdown….. summer anyone??

I was looking for a rainy day image to share this quip and then realised I’d not shared any of this amazing shoot on my grid.

Ok so not really rain but an epic waterfall that took the team a trek to get to but when you get these images back, it was definitely worth it!

Happy Father’s Day

To those that choose to and are able to celebrate it.

I am lucky to be able to shout out my own dad and my wonderful husband but also give a special mention to my mum who raised me as a single parent for my childhood, which since having kids makes me realise just how bloody hard that must have been!

Friday Mood So I’m well and truly on countdown

Friday Mood

So I’m well and truly on countdown to the first Yorkshire @modernloveweddingsuk fair which will start at 12pm on Sunday 13th

For not having worked an event since October 2019, I’m really proud of how this has all come together - I’ve definitely put my hours in and tested the brain capacity over the last few months.

On Sunday my car will be packed up with my exhibition grid (seen in the distance of this image) which hasn’t had an outing since this shoot back in February last year and Monday marks set up day and ticking off the snagging list before welcoming all the other traders.

This has well and truly been a labour of love and I hope to see as many of you lovely faces as possible.
Booking is not essential so if you fancy a last minute trip out, do come say hi!

Happy hump day!

Anything nice planned? I’m having afternoon tea with my 3yr old as Wednesdays are now our day for doing things we can’t do with the baby!

Can’t believe it’s only 2.5 weeks till this venue is hosting @modernloveweddingsuk with such an awesome bunch of suppliers to meet.
