Get in Touch

I love blending affection, creativity and sparkles to ensure our events are inspiring, memorable and (most of all) fun for everyone involved.

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.

FriYay!!!

It’s my five year wedding anniversary today. I’d love to say we’re hitting the town and creating this vibe but in reality we’ve had poorly kids all week and we’re exhausted!

We are heading up North for the weekend though so we can see my in-laws for the first time in ages and so some of them can meet Margot for the first time ever (can’t believe she’s 6 months old and not met them).

What you got planned?

Oh my days!!!

I’ve been very quiet on here - I know it’s my default to let socials slip which isn’t great but I’d always rather be busy behind the scenes than not so I stopped apologising for it a while ago.

The last few weeks I’ve been consumed with getting a shoot together to help with the branding of a Yorkshire leg of @modernloveweddingsuk and today we got some teasers of what’s to come from @amyfaithphoto

I’m blown away by the support I received from all these talented individuals and as ever, it really is a team effort to achieve this. 👏🏻

Happy Sunday!

Last week was hectic so it’s been nice to take some time out today with just me and my girls whilst my husband has been running his first of five Hard Moors (will never be my idea of fun).

Today we actually got a walk in and then made some cakes and now just had a yummy roast to gear us up for the week ahead.

Mine is starting with an epic shoot I’ve had planned for a few months now and along with a top line up, I’m excited to be working with @amyfaithphoto again (who also took this).

What are your plans?

Details!

As promised, here are some more shots from the amazing @newbyhallandgardens shoot I collaborated on back late last summer.

The wonderful @kayleighrichmond was dressed in several @laceandcobridal dresses and masterfully made up by @deblovehair using @garterandveil accessories along with my first ever use of a floral necklace made by @bureaubotany

The detailing in each of these elements definitely deserves talking about including the expert eye of @bohochicweddings to ensure nothing was missed.

This weeks #throwbackthursday is all about one of my favourite shoots of last year.

Each team member of this day went all out to provide a decadent feast and multiple clothings changes and the level of detail @bohochicweddings went into capturing meant we were all treated to hundreds of images.

I wanted to share a good few of these today but Instagram is playing a new game of refusing to resize images to uniform them.... and they really do need showing off properly.
So here is a small selection and there will definitely be more to follow.

Throwing it wayyyyy back

To this shoot I helped plan and styled in 2018 @skipbridgecountryweddings which was based on Captain Corelli’s Mandolin.

The table set up is perfect for weather like today and could be easily replicated for your party of six in the back garden.

Set a pretty central foliage garland to your table and add in some citrus fruits for scent and colour (we also used sunflowers).
Place bowls of olives as sharing nibbles between seats and infuse olive oil with Rosemary and place them at the head of each plate as favours - tie peoples names on them if you want formal seating.

To make place settings fancy but practical, tie torn off hunks of rustic bread and dress with Rosemary or thyme to match your oil and there you have a pretty, stylish table with starters taken care of!

Friday Feeling

The sun is shining and for the first time in 5 months!!!!! I’m having my hair done.

I couldn’t be more excited about that over any of the other restriction eases so far 🙊
I can’t wait to see my friends though and celebrate with them soon.

What are you up to this weekend?

Blast from the past is day 8 of the @bridesupnorth @unveilednetwork #readytoreopen21 challenge

This isn’t my first shoot or my first wedding but it’s at @barmbyfieldbarns which is where weddings all began for me.

The owner kindly let me cut my teeth on the industry, refining my packages whilst learning the ropes on wedding planning with couples who’d booked to get married there.

Course I loved the venue so much I chose to get married there myself a few years later and I love it when I do get a booking there still.

I have a REALLY special one coming up there at the end of this year and I can’t wait.

This image was taken in a 15 minute window of no rain on an otherwise washout day. The whole team involved ran out with the bits I needed and as quick as we set up, it was gone. You’re not supposed to work symmetrically when styling but I love it and the way these two trees frame the table just looks stunning.

#readytoopen21 @unveilednetwork @bridesupnorth April challenge.

I’m late to this challenge (been enjoying Easter a bit too much) so I’m starting today with my ‘why’.

It’s quite hard to sum up what an organiser does via an image - especially if you’re like me and don’t like having your picture taken. This one was taken three years ago when my first little girl had just been born so I wasn’t feeling super confident about it but I liked the relaxed capture of it all as I certainly can’t pose.

So I guess it depicts my ‘busy in my admin’ look (and not at all just sat in a coffee shop trying to look spontaneous) and that’s the start of my “Why”.

I actually love admin. It feels so good to get little things done or big projects achieved.

When I was little I was always told I was bossy 🙊 but I like to believe I’ve channelled that positively and after 11 years managing people and projects in the corporate world, it was time to move that into what I love and surround myself in the creative industry.

I am blown away by the constant evolution of those in my industry who provide new ideas for me to put to my clients all the time. I spend a lot of time wishing I could photograph/draw/write/sew like others I know but you’ve got to stick to your talents and mine is to organise the socks off your event so you have the best day ever!!

Cake!

I’m a big fan of it so I’m always happy when couples include them in their day.

Cake makers are such amazing artists. It’s one thing to bake something edible but the level of detail that goes into the outer style is something else.

I’ve worked with many a talented maker and this one from our beach themed shoot is no exception. @the_master_cakesmith made rice paper sails to depict the sea and the ships on it with intricate detailing of sea shells and starfish dotted around.
