SUNDAY LOVES – A COSTUME DRAMA

I hold by my mantra that you can find Wedding inspiration everywhere and the renewed popularity of the Costume Drama on our TV screens is definitely a great source.  Recently I’ve enjoyed watching Parade’s End based on the book by Ford Maddox Ford, a real boundary pusher of it’s time and thoroughly enjoyable to watch.

And who doesn’t love Downton Abbey – Shirley Maclaine and Dame Maggie Smith’s hilarious rapport is my new guilty pleasure.  And not to spoil it for anyone but Lady Mary’s Wedding was a definite style moment.  There was lots to inspire early 1920’s, Vintage loving Brides-to-be from the super long veil to the trailing lily bouquet.  Psst… there’s another family Wedding to come tonight too!

And a new one I’m looking forward to is The Paradise which kicks off on October, check out the trailer on Youtube and you’ll see why.

Words cannot really cover how fabulous Alex has been or how grateful we are for all that she has done. I could provide you with a near endless list of practical reasons why you should take her on as a planner. She is incredibly organized. She is experienced. She is well connected. She does everything (literally everything). She is creative. She is adaptable... etc etc. the list goes on. At the end of the day though, our wedding was magical and Alex made that happen. She understood us instantly and recommended so many unique touches that made our day special. She was also a joy to work with; so full of energy and enthusiasm. Neither of us can imagine doing it without her. Thank you Alex for all that you have done. From the very bottom of our hearts.

She has the perfect balance of playful creativity, endless patience, and insane organisational skills the likes of which I've never experienced before. In the midst of planning, I can imagine it's easy to forget that ultimately a wedding is a party with everyone you love -- which is pretty much the coolest thing ever. Alex made sure we could enjoy it. A lot. And everyone else did too. I give her million out of five stars.

The best decision I ever made, after deciding to get married of course, was to have Alex plan our wedding. She is a total marvel; from the moment I met her she understood immediately what kind of thing we wanted, she listened to us at every turn, handled every difficult conversation, took away all the stresses, negotiated all the logistics and brought to the whole thing her extraordinary creative flair. She is utterly unflappable and oversaw every detail, from budget, to supplier, venue, right down to the candle sizes! There is no way we could have done it without her and I recommend her unreservedly.

Alex is the best, hands down. I remember first meeting her and after one hour, she already fully understood our personalities and what we’d want for our wedding. Throughout the planning process she kept everything stress free so that we could really enjoy the lead up to the wedding. I don’t think it would have been the same without her at all and I don’t know how anyone can plan a wedding without Alex! The day itself was perfect and, again, it was all down to how much we knew it would be all we wanted because of Alex’s involvement. Thank you for making our perfect day just the way we imagined it!

From the start of all the planning 18 months prior to our wedding date to the final song on the night, Alex made our wedding day perfect. Her knowledge of the wedding world and fabulous organisation skills allowed us to enjoy a stress free wedding ride. Her creative tips, tricks and attention to all the details, both large and small, made our day truly memorable. On top of being the best wedding planner, Alex is also a kind, generous and fun loving person with boundless positivity - exactly the person you want around during the run up to your big day! 5*s don’t even begin to describe Alex’s awesomeness.
