Trying to decide upon a theme can seem at times mind boggling, for this reason we have devised a design package for 2010 priced at £400. During a design consultation we discuss your vision and identify elements of your lifestyle that could form part of the design. We will then produce a mood board with our suggestions, from this we discuss the elements you like and dislike in order to produce the right design for you.
- Design consultation
- Mood board
- Suggestions for: cake, stationery, table centres, favours, linen
If you are interested contact Bernadette for more information via our website.

Ideas for planning a DIY wedding
Wednesday, November 18th, 2009Recently I contributed to an article Rachel Holmes was writing for the Guardian namely ‘Recession-busting wedding ideas’ . The article explains how to save money and get exactly what you want by planning a wedding ’staycation’ in the countryside.
As many of my followers know I specialise in country weddings and in particular marquee functions so could relate to what she was saying. You can read the article via the guardian website and very soon I will be bringing you a new blog series covering practical advice for marquee functions.

A busy day
Tuesday, April 21st, 2009Well it has been a busy today, firstly I was on air with Dave Monk on BBC Radio Essex discovering the cost of weddings for a guest. When you counter in the stag/hen celebrations, gift, outfit & overnight accommodation you realise weddings aren’t just expensive for the couple!
Straight after I met Tim Bowden a photographer from Suffolk who I hope to work with in the future. I loved his albums and the unobtrusive shots of guests.
