Instagram post 2194351449931445024_2237463193 Looking for something to do today? Great event being held all day at the Sandals Golf Club in cap. Get your christmas shopping done and treat yourself - shop from a wide range of vendors- all local creators and small businesses. Great deals and beautiful one off pieces to be found. Well done @simonecsu and team for this.
Instagram post 2193241217998138651_2237463193 Your wedding should be personal and represent you and your partner. If you are known as a couple who love southern, fried or bbq style food why serve a fancy grilled meat in a sauce you would never order just to be traditional? Be YOU- yes you need to choose a versatile menu with a range of dishes your guests will like but you can class it up and make it ‘weddingy’. This type of food works perfectly with a cocktail style meal service (food being passed around throughout the evening) or on food stations. Ensure that appropriate drinks are selected for the menu and that any guests with food allergies or restrictions are kept in mind. The key to fancying up “fast food” is the way its cooked and displayed. For example fried chicken- swipe to see 2 ways to present it which give off a very different feel but taste equally as delicious. What do we think????

Instagram post 2185012812949298850_2237463193 Inspo boards are back... and we are starting off simple but stunning with this gorgeous mirrored beach wedding theme, clean white linen & florals combined with mirrored vases & candle votives or table runners create a chic & crisp finish and enhances the natural beauty of the ocean location. Keep this one clean & simple, less is more sometimes....
Instagram post 2179792488490310276_2237463193 We will be right back- just taking this week to have baby girl and be back on email and IG next week. Please be patient with us....
Instagram post 2178106243846348714_2237463193 The side of events you dont see much- the designs that didnt win the pitch (swipe for more). We recently pitched for an event that didnt work out for us for various logistical reasons- but since so many of you love our christmas event design ideas so far itd be a shame to totally waste our take on this beautiful theme. Would you have a winter wonderland theme wedding? A beautiful white base is the perfect canvas for plenty of frosted glass, candlelight and shimmering silver- throw in some arctic blue lighting and what a finish you have. This would also be gorgeous as a corporate christmas party theme or for your own holiday get together. Who loves it like we do?
Instagram post 2178012923434572195_2237463193 We can.... but would you expect to pay forever 21 prices at chanel???? Would you expect to pay for a burger but get a steak???? The service industry is a difficult one to be in, people constantly want to knock your price down and assume that its always possible as its not a ‘tangible’ product. What they dont know is that those few thousand dollars isnt just for us to plan the event and the endless hours spent working on your job but also has to pay our team, the gas and time used to conduct various meetings with vendors and site visits (sometimes to venues 2 hours away), printing of documents, food & drinks for whilst we are on site building your event and childcare whilst we are there late and early- amongst many other things. By the time the planner actually gets anything for themselves for their craft it can be less than 40% of the total for approximately 100-200 hours or more of work. I’ve spoken to many “competitors” about this as well as company owners of other service industries and the conversation is nearly almost identical, customers look for a deal without fully understanding what each fee covers. As a wedding/event planner I urge brides to shop around, speak to us all and make the best decision for YOU and YOUR day but do ensure you gather a few costs and know what each includes and research their previous work to see the standard of work that fee will result in. If you have a max budget for a service tell us that from the start and let us tell you what can be offered for that fee but we publicly request that more respect is given to the service industry and our packages and prices.

Instagram post 2172677013209682365_2237463193 What a lovely review from a bride we first met as a nervous wreck 6 weeks before her big day ♥️🥰
Instagram post 2172228909004078794_2237463193 Do you know we plan proposals too? Yup! We can plan your entire proposal ensuring it goes off perfectly for you both and is the moment you always envisioned. Did you also know 2020 is a leap year so ladies its your chance to get down on one knee also 😉 (though we prefer the old fashioned way). Tag or send this to someone whose time it is to pop the big question.
Instagram post 2169061869485314464_2237463193 Please note that with just 2 weeks until I give birth via surgery, I am now officially on maternity leave so when sending a message please expect a 24-48 hour response time. For those who have had babies you will understand more but this is a hugely uncomfortable stage for me to be at after a challenging 9 months and my priority has to be the health of myself and my unborn baby. There are 3 brides who I am still working with since their weddings are imminent and the final details are urgent but for all other brides we have completed all that would have been done up until January when I will return to work. Please note that I am taking an extremely short maternity leave of 6 weeks (2 of which we would have closed anyway for christmas) to recover and bond with my new daughter, and ask that this is respected, as a small business I don’t have someone to just take over my work when off so will be juggling it all along with my 4 year old son. I will be on emails to respond to all necessary emails as fast as possible and remind all clients that we have a planning schedule and process in place for each and every one of you to ensure 100% perfection for your big events. My lovely assistant and I will continue to post decor inspiration and mood board content to inspire and excite you in the meantime and appreciate your patience, understanding, prayers and best wishes at this time x
