What style is your wedding?

It's all in the details. The attention you make to the detail of your wedding can make all the difference in the overall look. Everything from the colour scheme, to the lighting to your choice of flowers.
When you are planning your hertfordshire wedding you should have a picture in your mind of the overall look. If you don't what happens is you end up spending money on random things in the hope that it will all come together. Believe me rarely does and it if you don't have an overall picture in your mind, it will cost you more in the end.
For this short blog I have decided to concentrate on lighting. I am big on lighting, it can make such a difference to the overall look when the sun goes down and you can create so many stunning effects with the use of lighting.
Here are a few ideas for your wedding in Essex, Hertfordshire and Norfolk

Do you want to get married in the Caribbean?

I recently had the pleasure of meeting a lovely couple who want to get married in the Caribbean. They would be my first client who'd like to get married overseas but obviously there are different legal requirements whereever in the world you want to marry.
Fortunately the Caribbean is fairly straight forward. You need your passport and your orginal birth certificate and you only need to be there two days before your intended wedding. Let me tell you this varies across the world and you must do your research to find out how long you need to be somewhere before you can legally be married. Its always worth consulting a professional wedding planner in London to discuss this.
Whilst putting together a proposal I searched the internet for some ideas for their day. At least by getting married in the Caribbean you can guarantee sunshine, although we aren't doing to bad here in the UK at the moment.

Sarah and Jeremy - A Marquee wedding in Essex

I had the pleasure of helping Jeremy and Sarah plan their June wedding earlier this year. Jeremy is a pilot and so the couple had selected to have their reception in a marquee at Andrewsfield in Stebbing, Essex. Fortunately they were able to use the marquee from a wedding the weekend before so that bit was fairly straight forward.
There are so many things to consider when planning a marquee wedding in Hertfordshire, Kent or Surrey because you need to hire everything in and there are lots of logistically things to think about. Size of marquee, how many tables and chairs, power, dance floor, lighting, toilets and the list goes on. It really is worth consulting a wedding planner in London if you are going to have a marquee wedding.
There's lots to tell you about the big day, and I will, but one of the absolute highlights was the arrival of the bride and groom to the reception by plane. It was absolutely brilliant. Thought you might like to see some of my pictures of the big day.

London meets Sweet Home Alabhama

I am planning a two day wedding celebration in London later this year for a bride who is from the deep south of America. At our consultation she gave me a great ananlogy for her wedding she wanted relaxed city chic meets Sweet Home Alabama, which made me laugh. It made me think of the film, which if you haven't seen it you really should. The chic New York City girl heading back to her home town of Alabama.

Just a few initial ideas that come to mind.

Summer weddings in Essex

Well it is Summer, although it would be nice if it warmed up a little!  I have been looking for decorative items for a couple of marquee weddings in Essex. Both have a summer fete theme so I'm thinking bunting, fairy lights, summer flowers in soft colours, haybales and cocktails in jam jars. A few ideas if you are having a summer village fete style wedding this year in Essex
