HOW I, AS A LUXURY WEDDING PLANNER, ARRANGE FIRST HOW I, AS A LUXURY WEDDING PLANNER, ARRANGE FIRST LOOKS // Many of my couples like to take a step away from tradition and opt for a first look, which makes my heart sing as it comes with so many benefits. Seeing each other before the ceremony can take the edge off any nerves you might be feeling and, instead, you get an intimate moment which allows you to share your true emotions with each other without the pressure of an audience. It also often gives us more time for portraits of the two of you without eating into precious time celebrating with your guests during your reception. Your photographer will love you because it gives them the chance to ensure perfect lighting and gives them time for a little extra creativity and you're hair and makeup will be fresh meaning you're likely to love the images even more. So here is how I, as a luxury wedding planner, go about planning a first look: 1) I always chat with you both to make sure you're both comfortable doing a first look. There's nothing worse than an awkward bride or groom who has been pressured into it by the other person. It'll show in your photos! 2) I plan the schedule with your photographer, videographer and hair and makeup teams early as first looks have a big impact on the timeline for your preparation. A first look can take 45/60 minutes, so we need to ensure hair and make up is done earlier than usual. We also need to time it to ensure guests won't be around and ensure we've got decent light if you're having an evening ceremony. 3) I usually ask hair and makeup artists to stay with you for a touch-up after your first look, just in case it's emotional. 4) My team accompanies the bride and groom to ensure you don't accidently see each other before the photographer and videographer are ready. Like a lot of areas of wedding planning, arranging a successful first look comes down to good communication and teamwork. #firstlook #weddingfirstlook #firstlookwedding #firstlookideas #firstlookinspiration #weddingplanning #londonwedding #Londonweddingplanner #dartmouthhousewedding #ukweddingplanner #weddingplanneruk #topweddingplanners

DANCE FLOOR FLORALS After dinner, at this Hampshi DANCE FLOOR FLORALS After dinner, at this Hampshire wedding, a reveal wall was pulled to unveil this awesome dance floor installation. When it comes to florals, I recommend fewer but larger feature installations rather than lots of smaller displays. It would have been easy for us to place multiple displays around this space, but they wouldn't have created the wow factor of this investment piece hanging 4m above the dance floor. This 5m square floral and mirror ball installation simply blew everyone away! This was the setting for an epic party of constant surprises, including dhol drummers, Bhangra dancers, sax players, DJ, live band and drinks delivered to the dancefloor with fireworks.
