THE WRITE STUFF I get beyond excited when couples choose to have a small and intimate wedding. Don’t get me wrong, I love a good old wedding with guests galore, but there’s something magical about having just your nearest and dearest, your ‘select few’ in one place to celebrate with you. But don’t be fooled into thinking that being small and intimate means a lack of style or class. Just because couples are opting for a smaller guest count doesn’t mean that they aren’t wanting their day to look or feel like a wedding; in fact, some of the small and intimate weddings I’ve worked on have really played on the intimacy of it, having personalised printed love notes to each guest, really drilling down to the intimacy and the aesthetic of the day, being able to pay attention to the finer details, yet also having fun with it. Having a beautifully decorated space, a large table for all to gather around, no formalities, just letting it be, with linens, candles and florals, to then feast on pizza and prosecco and party into the night! Timewise, I have worked with couples who have booked years in advance and couples who have a few weeks to plan their big day, so it’s always worth checking a supplier’s availability. When booking your supplier, it’s super important that you feel at ease with them. They are going to be a huge part of your day; if you love them, book them; if you get a good feel from them, secure them; but above all, trust them. By handing over your trust to us and letting us do our thing, it really does allow us to fully immerse ourselves in your day. When we work together, you hand over full design autonomy to me. Of course, we discuss your wishes in detail and designs are created, but then and only then is where the magic happens. I will always work within the aesthetics we discuss, but being given full autonomy not only allows me to become deeply embedded in the creation of your wedding, it also allows you to take a deep breath and enjoy the process, knowing it’s all taken care of. Every little detail.
