  An earlier blog post has told the story how I’ve fallen into this world of wedding planning – I was one of Helen’s 2011 brides and was lucky enough to be asked to join the team after my big day. One of my first jobs was to write a blog post about why someone would want to hire a wedding planner from the point of view of a bride who’d just used one, outlining the benefits I had experienced from having Helen on board with our wedding preparations and on the day itself.

  Although the intervening period since joining the crew has been busy with plans for 2012 brides and the other parts of the job, I had yet to experience a wedding from a planner’s perspective. That was until the crazy ten days which was “Christmas HCW-style”, when we worked on three weddings in ten days.

• 2011 – A Year in Review

  Monday, January 9th, 2012

  Posted in HCW News

  We’re now well and truly back into work mode, and our first week of 2012 has been as busy as ever, with new enquiries, ongoing arrangements for upcoming weddings and some exciting plans that we’re going to be unveiling very soon.

  Over the last week we’ve also been reflecting on the last 12 months. 2011 was the busiest and most successful year to date for Helen Carter Weddings , so we thought we’d share some of our highlights with you.

  

  Beautiful Weddings
  We’ve had the pleasure of working with some wonderful couples over the last 12 months, and have had the privilege of designing and organising some truly beautiful and very unique wedding celebrations. From contemporary city venues to historic halls, and country hotels to classic marquees, 2011 saw a real mix of wedding styles and certainly worked our creative brains!

• Guest Blog Post – 2012 Trends

  Friday, January 6th, 2012

  Posted in Wedding Press

  We’ve all now returned to the drudge of normality after a (hopefully) sparkling Christmas and New Year period, and thoughts turn to plans for the year ahead. Future weddings and trends were bought sharply into focus here at HCW towers when we were asked by Chelsea at the Pastel Pirate wedding blog to pen an overview of what we’d seen in 2011 and what we thought might be big in 2012.

  

  Pop over to Chelsea’s blog to see what we expect and desire to be “the thing” in 2012, and take a look at what other wedding professionals think will be on trend for the next twelve months.

  Thanks to Chelsea for the opportunity to refocus our minds for the year ahead!
