Mariam and Ahmed had an intimate ceremony at Weybridge Register Office
Mariam and Ahmed met in Doha, Qatar, through mutual friends. "I thought we'd end up being friends when we first met, but Ahmed continued to pursue me in romantic ways," says Mariam. "He would spontaneously take me to the beach where we would have food and talk until the late hours of the night. I was drawn to his strong character, persevering nature and gorgeous beard!" "We knew when we got into a relationship that it was either going to lead to marriage or nothing at all, as I guess that's just how we do it as Muslims, so there wasn't much of a surprise when he proposed," shares the bride. "He said it was time for us to take our relationship to the next level, and I agreed, so that weekend we looked for a diamond to set in a custom made ring and told our parents via video chat."... read more

Firstly, I always ask my brides what does your make-up look like every day? I want to know what you look like at work, day-to-day and what you envision for your wedding.

We can discuss your skincare routine, skin concerns or problems you may suffer with, such as redness or shine. We can also talk about whether or not you want to avoid false lashes. It'll be a fun and exciting experience, so above all, just enjoy it!... read more

Butterflies and Bows tells us how flower trends have adapted as a result of the pandemic
When restrictions were in place, brides were asking for small bouquets, but now things are getting back to normal we're seeing more voluptuous versions. The trending style is still a more natural look using seasonal flowers. I like to include larger blousy blooms such as peonies, roses, dahlias or hydrangeas along with smaller delicate versions, often with a lovely scent like lisianthus, freesias, astilbes and gypsophila. I usually add pale green eucalyptus instead of strong green leaves as it gives a softer look.... read more

How to look relaxed in your big-day photographs
Many of my clients talk to me about being nervous when having their photo taken and feeling unphotogenic and uncomfortable when posing. Getting to know your photographer is key as it will help you relax while they work. You shouldn't feel rushed by them, and they should assist with how you should stand and where your hands should go. I love to capture natural shots that show raw emotion. I often say to my clients go for a walk, have a chat and forget I'm even there. This is a great way to warm up before the more formal shots are taken.... read more

Government changes outdoor wedding restrictions
One thing the pandemic has highlighted is the archaic wedding laws couples are still governed by; and although this was due to be revised in government in the next year or two, MPs have decided to bring forward a change in outdoor weddings.

This is a much needed boost for wedding venues with booking in the next nine months and are having to adhere to social distancing requirements and outdoor weddings being preferable.... read more

After tying the knot in New York, Chantrelle and Tara had an Art Deco-themed blessing
Chantrelle and Tara met at work. "It was definitely him who pursued me," laughs Chantrelle. "As my desk was close to the printer, he would casually swing by quite regularly for a chat. However, I was the one who made the first move on a night out, and the rest is history." Tara proposed in New York in December, 2016. "We had booked an amazing Mexican restaurant in Times Square for dinner, but on route, hesuggested we go past the Rockefeller's 75ft Christmas tree," shares the bride. "He kept pushing me towards the tree, and I kept going the other way towards the ice rink, but he persisted and seemed a little irritable because I wasn't doing what he was suggesting. Bless him, he was so nervous, and I didn't have a clue! It all made sense when we went to the front of the tree, and standing under 50,000 sparkling fairylights, he started to tell me how he loved me. I was so shocked I didn't even say yes and just asked 'really?' multiple times! It was a dream come true."... read more
