Wedding Planner Q&A
Part of my role as a wedding planner is to provide impartial advice on anything relating to a wedding. This is a very emotional time, and it can be easy for worries and concerns to get blown out of proportion and cause huge amounts of distress.
I see these sorts of problems all the time when helping couples plan their wedding, so today I’m launching a new Wedding Planner Q&A series where I’ll offer advice on how to deal with common situations and problems. If you have a question you’d like to share, drop me a line at

Planning Advice
One of my favourite wedding blogs is Abby Larson’s
Style Me Pretty
,
which is jam-packed with gorgeous weddings and design inspiration. If you haven’t already, make sure you pay it a visit, but be sure to allow plenty of time because you will end up swooning at all the beautiful details!
Abby’s recently added a fantastic new feature called the “
Style Circle
”, which includes a tool where you can create your own wedding design boards. I use Photoshop for all of my design concepts, but as not every bride has access to this software (or indeed the patience to use it!) I thought I’d check it out, and here are the results…

Wedding Styling

London wedding planner
has experienced it. What, then, if the unthinkable happens and it rains? I came across
this
beautiful post over on Kiss the Groom, and it totally inspired me to write about how to cope with a wet wedding day. So how can you make sure wet weather doesn’t spoil your big day?

Planning Advice
Today we are focusing on the different choices available for the wedding ceremony. This is the most important and emotional part of your big day, so it is important that you choose a service that is right for you. You should make this choice at the start of your planning, as it will influence the type of venue you require. For example, you may need a venue that is licensed to hold a civil ceremony. Remember that you will also need to make sure your place of worship, registrar or celebrant is available on your preferred date before booking your reception venue.
