Happy Friday lovely!

I’ve been looking forward to this weekend all week!

My Mum & Dad are coming round today to do some DIY Christmas wreath making and then tomorrow is our family Christmas lunch! It will be our first Christmas get together since 2019 so I’m really looking forward to it 🥰

Hope you have some gorgeous weekend plans too.

It’s officially the countdown to CHRISTMAS!

We’ve picked out our tree, it’s of course way too big for the living room and we’ve spent all afternoon decorating it! Is there a better way to spend a blustery and cold winter’s weekend ❤️

Inspiration Overwhelm

Is something I know a lot of you are feeling at the moment! Pinterest and Instagram are without doubt two of the biggest causes of this.

Here are some tips to help you declutter your Pinterest board and that folder of images you have saved to your phone!

*Believe me you'll feel so much better once you've had a clear out of all these conflicting ideas*

Tip 1 - Create a new Pinterest board/folder so you have somewhere fresh to save your images/inspiration going forward.

Tip 2 - Only save images and videos which truly mean something to you. Every time you save an image or video, I want you to consider what does this represent? What do I find inspiring about this?

Does it convey my colour palette, the atmosphere I want to create, or does it encapsulate how I want my day to look or feel?

If not, then DON’T save it.

Tip 3 - Don't ask your suppliers to directly replicate something you've seen on Pinterest or Instagram. Trust your suppliers and their process and let them use their creativity to design something which feels personal and individual to you and your day.

By getting really intentional with the content you’re saving you end up with a small selection of images that really inspire you and can be drawn upon for reference when speaking to your suppliers.

Remember, less is always more!

Let’s talk about your wedding style because it's

Let’s talk about your wedding style because it's more than just how your wedding looks!

Without a doubt, this is one area of planning I get asked the most questions about. It’s the one which couples tell me stresses them out the most and here’s why I think that is.

Your wedding style is so much more than how your wedding is going to look, your outfits choices, and the way you dress your tables. It’s an extension of you, your personalities, likes, dislikes and experiences you have. So, your style is all about translating these qualities into your wedding to create a sense of cohesion and flow, so every element relates to who you truly are as a couple.

I think this stage in the styling process almost gets overlooked which to some extent probably has something to do with Pinterest and the endless source of imagery couples are constantly being fed. When it comes to identifying your wedding style, you almost need to hit pause and start by asking yourselves these 4 questions.

1. How do you want to feel in the lead up to your wedding and on the day itself?

2. How do you want your wedding to be described?

3. What atmosphere do you want to create?

4. What experience do you want your guests to have?

These questions should help you to recognise any keywords, feelings and emotions which are unique to you as a couple. You can then use these to help communicate your ideas to suppliers and when looking for inspiration going forward.

This is a topic I love to discuss, so I’ll be sharing more thoughts and tips on this very soon! Sign up to my LET’S TALK DETAILS mailing list to find out more (link in my bio)

How’s your wedding planning going this week? Do

How’s your wedding planning going this week?

Do you feel like it’s been a productive one ticking off your wedding to-do list or have you spent the week feeling slightly overwhelmed by it all?

There are so many different elements and details to consider when it comes to planning that it’s only natural to feel like your constantly flitting between feeling super productive and slightly overwhelmed.

Here are some tips for when you feel overwhelmed

1. Get it all out! Spend some time getting all your thoughts and ideas out of your head.
2. Create a to-do list. Make a note of everything you know you need to do and then prioritise.
3. Stop scrolling. Take a break from Pinterest & TikTok these can be a source of inspiration overload in themselves.
4. Get clear on your budget. Keep your budget spreadsheet/document up to date. Make sure you know how much you've spent, how much you have left to spend and when payments are due.
5. Take a break. Do something which doesn’t involve planning at all.
6. Ask for help (when you need it)! You’re not expected to know everything (that’s why we’re here) don’t be afraid to ask questions!

I hope this helps the next time you feel slightly overwhelmed by it all. For more planning support and tips signup to my LET’S TALK DETAILS mailing list - link in bio 😊
