Read MoreLet’s be real—one of the most stressful parts of planning a wedding often comes right at the beginning: deciding who makes the guest list. It’s the moment where vision, emotion, and practicality all collide.
But here’s the truth: you can have your dream wedding on any budget. The size of your guest list, the type of venue, and even the time of year you choose to celebrate will shape what’s possible. A small and intimate dinner under fairy lights will feel just as magical as a grand ballroom celebration—if it’s true to you.

Read MoreYou’re engaged – now what? Other than admiring your beautiful ring and re-telling your proposal story a dozen times, the next big step is planning your wedding day. And here’s the truth: wedding planning can be exciting, creative, and full of joy… but it can also feel overwhelming at times. With over 300 hours going into planning a wedding, it’s easy for it to consume your life. That’s why before you dive into venues, florals, or playlists, there’s one crucial first step - Read more on the Blog X
Read MoreA mood board isn’t just a pretty collage — it’s a powerful creative tool. It’s a curated mix of images, colors, and textures that captures a concept, style, or feeling — guiding every design decision from start to finish.
Most people think mood boards are only for wedding planners, interior designers, or “design” types. Sorry to break it to you… but that’s simply not true!

Read MoreAlthough tips are never expected, they are always appreciated. Tipping is a simple way to say thank you to the hardworking and creative professionals that give so much of their time, their heart, and their energy to make your dream day come to life. And tipping doesn’t always have to come in a monetary form, there are lots of ways you can “tip” your vendors to show appreciation.
Read MoreLet’s clear up the confusion, shall we?
A wedding planner is your logistics expert — the master of timelines, budgets, vendor communication, and making sure everything runs smoothly on the day.
A wedding designer is your creative visionary — focused on the visual and sensory aspects of the day: the mood, the colours, the textures, the entire guest experience.
A stylist ensures that the design vision is translated into the physical setup, styling every detail with precision and care.
A coordinator steps in to manage the flow of the day, executing the final plan to perfection so that you (and your family) can be fully present and stress-free.
These are four different hats. And when they’re worn by separate people, or worse — outsourced to people who don’t know your vision or each other — that’s where things can fall apart.
When it comes to planning a wedding, it’s easy to underestimate the sheer volume of hours and the depth of detail required to bring your vision to life. And truthfully, that’s part of the magic — because when done well, it looks effortless.
But behind that effortless beauty is an average of 450 hours of work — and that’s just for the day itself.
Let’s peel back the curtain.
Read MoreWe work at the beautiful intersection of both worlds—merging logistics with creative design to offer you a complete wedding experience from start to finish. It’s important to ask yourself:
Do I need help bringing my aesthetic vision to life?
Do I feel overwhelmed managing timelines and moving parts?
Do I want someone to handle everything—creative and practical?
Let’s be honest: the champagne tower was the statement moment of 2024. And with good reason. Elegant, nostalgic, and just the right amount of extra, a tower of sparkling coupes is the kind of wow-factor moment that takes any celebration from great to unforgettable.
Read MoreWhile there’s nothing wrong with tradition (we do love a nostalgic moment), bonbonniere is one of those beautiful little details where you can really have some fun. It’s a chance to thank your guests with something meaningful, practical, and memorable — a piece of your day they’ll take home and actually use, love, or laugh about for years to come.
Read MoreThese small, often-forgotten details are the things that help your wedding flow—keeping guests comfortable and vendors stress-free.
The more organised you are upfront, the smoother your day will run.
If this all sounds a little overwhelming—you don’t have to do it alone.
As your wedding planner, I’ll handle these practicalities so you can stay focused on what truly matters: celebrating your love.
The only rule is this: do what feels right for you as a couple.
You’re not “breaking” traditions—you’re creating your own. And I’m here to guide you through that with empathy, ideas, and solutions that make the process feel exciting, not overwhelming.
So, trust your gut. Dream big. And remember: it’s not about what’s expected—it’s about what matters most to you.
Read MoreI’ve seen it all — meltdowns over menu fonts, tears over seating charts, surprise family drama, forgotten vows, and torrential rain forecasts. And guess what? The weddings were still beautiful. The love still shone through. The day still ended with laughter, dancing, and so much joy.
So take the pressure off. Lean into support. Let the imperfect be perfect enough.
And know that you’re doing great.
I’m always here to help you hold both the beauty and the chaos with grace. Because your wedding? It’s not just about the day — it’s about how you feel through the whole journey.
Read MoreWe ask over 100+ questions to truly understand who you are as a couple, what matters most to you, and how we can create a day that reflects your love story, beautifully and intentionally.
If you’re considering a smaller celebration, we’d love to support you in making it effortless, aligned, and unforgettable.
Read MoreMaking sure that everything you expect from the vendor is in the contract is the most important thing. If it’s not in the contract, it doesn’t necessarily matter. You could have something in an email, but that doesn’t necessarily count. If you want it, put it in the contract. For the rest of the document, think like a journalist: Determine the who, what, when, where, why, how, how many, and how much of your agreement, and be sure those items are included.
Read MoreWhen you're planning a wedding that defies tradition, you need a team that's done it before. We don't just plan; we anticipate, adapt, and elevate. With hundreds of water-loving weddings under our belt, we bring the strategy and calm you need, and the soulful styling you want.
