What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?
Do as little as possible on the day! Use your delightful bridal parties, groomsmen and family members to help transport or set anything you need up on the day before or the day of. It is the most amazing day of your lives but it can be overwhelming so don't add any additional stress to your plates, just sit back, be pampered and enjoy us looking after you!
What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?
I adore anything that shows the coming together of two families. I once saw a sand pouring ceremony where all the couple's children from previous marriages came up to the alter to pour a bag of different colour sand into a stunning decorative vase. It was a beautiful colourful keepsake to show the union of two families.
