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

Vintage Tea Party in Essex

I love afternoon tea. I love cake, sandwiches, lots of freshly brewed coffee. I think afternoon tea is brilliant. With that in mind I have been looking at purchasing some vintage crockery. This won't be just for my personal use, although I love the idea of having my morning coffee out of a china cup and saucer. What a civilised way to start your day.  I will be hiring it out for clients to use at their weddings, hen parties, baby showers, afternoon tea parties in Essex.
I decided I would have a look around the web and see what was out there. Here's what I found.

North Hill Farm, Chorleywood

Later this year I am helping plan a wedding at the wonderful North Hill Farm. The beauty about hiring a venue like this, is that its a completely blank canvas, you literally hire two fields and a treehouse for the bride and groom to stay in on their wedding night.
It does mean you have to hire everything in but lets face it when you have such a great spot to host your wedding in Hertfordshire you can create the exact wedding for you.
I look forward to showing you some pictures of the big day and the farm with its tipi's and tents in.

When should you hire a wedding planner?

A very good question, at what point should you hire a wedding planner in Hertfordshire? it really depends on how much help you might need with your planning. For instance some brides know that they just don't have the time, due to work or family commitments, or they have no inclination to plan their own wedding. These brides tend to decide very early on after they have set the date that they want some help.
There are some brides that get so far with the planning, the venue is booked, the photographer, the florist and the dress is bought but they hit a wall and decide at that point to ask for some professional help planning their Essex wedding. You might find as you go through the planning process that you can manage to do it all yourself with the help of family and friends then as the wedding day draws near just want to have someone there on the day so that you can relax and enjoy. The amount of brides I have seen at weddings literally running around like headless chickens making sure everything is being done as they have planned is riduclous. This is your big day and its time for you to relax, enjoy and spend some quality time with friends and family, not chase relatives to get in the right photographs!
You can approach Louise Perry Weddings at any point during the planning process. We offer a no obligation FREE consultation to chat about your weddding in London and then we can see exactly what still needs to be done and what your concerns and worries are. Then we will draw up a proposal and quote for the work involved for you to then decide if you want to hire us to help you.
By working this way a wedding planner can be surprisingly affordable, we are definately not just for the rich and famous. Every bride deserves some help and support from a professional source and that's exactly what I like to think we are.
Do get in touch for a chat about your wedding day.
