It’s January 2026. After literally years of letting my blogs fall deathly silent, I decided today was the day to get back on the horse. And what better way to ease myself in than with the creation of a new blog series of ‘Favourites’. It’s my chance to sing the praises of wedding suppliers that […]

For all those weddings which are special because they’re so 100% about the couple, Claire and Ruth’s was special because there were three of them in the mix. Enter Ruth’s daughter, Faye. She’s awesome – an eleven year old, wise beyond her years and so good at expressing her feelings. In many ways, this wedding

But in amongst all the heartache, the stress and uncertainty that many couples were battling, Becky and Martyn snuck in with a micro wedding that was an absolute tonic to the pandemic

“Laura was amazing! From the moment we met her we felt like we were in safe hands, she understood exactly what we wanted from our day (even though we were doing something incredibly non-traditional).
