It’s with a heavy heart that I share something I

It’s with a heavy heart that I share something I never thought I’d have to.

In January, while on a family holiday, I found a lump in my breast. Things spiralled quickly, and on 1st April, I was diagnosed with triple-negative breast cancer. It has spread to my lymph nodes and lungs. It’s stage 4 and incurable.

The moment I heard the news, I went into full planner mode: researching, calling experts, chasing every lead. I’ve never accepted “no” for an answer and I won’t start now. That determination got me onto a clinical trial and after 8 weeks of chemo and immunotherapy, my first scan shows I’m responding really well. It’s not a cure, the aim is simply to slow the cancer and, so far, it’s working. I’ll take every win I can get.

The prognosis is incredibly tough. So tough, I can’t even bring myself to write it here. I’m sharing this so directly because well-meaning words like “you’ll beat this” or “you’ll come out stronger” are painful when they don’t reflect what lies ahead. But I will say this: Google and the stats don't know how stubborn I am so screw you stats!

Right now, my focus is where it matters most - my health, my family, and especially my husband and beautiful baby girl. That’s why I’ve made the incredibly difficult decision to pause new bookings. I hope, in time, to return to the industry in some way – maybe supporting other planners or taking on select projects. So please don’t delete my contact details just yet.

Since launching in 2016, building the business has been a joy. Balancing personal challenges, including 6 years of IVF and the blessings of pregnancy and motherhood, with professional ambitions meant the business didn’t always grow as fast as I’d hoped but everyone’s journey is different – comparison is the thief of joy is a message I want to give to all those building a business on their own (especially in the smoke and mirrors era of Instagram!). Looking back, I never imagined I’d win awards, plan the weddings I have, or become a recommended planner at iconic venues like the Natural History Museum. It’s a legacy I hope my daughter will be proud of.

Every couple has their own unique vision when it c

Every couple has their own unique vision when it comes to florals - some adore wild, free-flowing arrangements that feel as if they've just been picked from a secret garden, while others, like Zoe and Dan, gravitate towards something a bit more refined and polished. For their elegant black-tie wedding, they chose beautiful, compact spheres of white hydrangea and peonies, creating a classic and sophisticated vibe.

As a luxury wedding planner, it’s my job - alongside input from the couple - to discover which style best reflects their personality and vision. From there, I source the very best suppliers to bring that dream to life, ensuring every detail is nothing short of perfection.

As a wedding planner, it’s not often that we get

As a wedding planner, it’s not often that we get the chance to work with our couples twice. But every so often, we’re lucky enough to experience the magic of a second celebration, and that’s exactly what happened with Helen and Alex.

They first entrusted me with an intimate micro-wedding during the height of the pandemic - such a special, heartfelt day. A year later, they were back, this time ready to celebrate with all their friends and family. When they told me how excited they were to work together again, I couldn't help but feel a deep sense of gratitude and joy.

It’s moments like these that remind me why I love what I do.
