It’s a real pleasure to write about the success of recent event, The Wedding Sanctuary, and share with you some of the wonderful images from the day.
This event, spearheaded by my alter-ego as Director of the UK Alliance of Wedding Planners was ambitious in its aims, to genuinely inspire and offer advice to brides in a wedding event with a difference. No hard sell, just pretty things, lovingly presented and teamed with practical information on how to really pull together your wedding day from those who do it everyday, we wedding planners. Some asked ‘how is that going to work – 20+ wedding planners all working on one event on one day?’. But it did work and it worked superbly.
To talk you through the event:
I spent much time in our registration area welcoming our visitors and talking them through what was on offer at The Wedding Sanctuary at Somerset House. (this isn’t me at the desk, but another planner colleague)
Check out our ‘plan’ of the event which I worked very hard on with designer Melanie of Cranberry Blue Weddings who offers a bespoke table plan service.
Guests strolled into our inspiration zone. Six tables including the photographed sweet treats station were individually and carefully designed to very unique styles and with much attention to detail by fellow wedding planners of UKAWP. Here are just a few images:
Next up was the fashion boudoir, beautifully styled with props from Vintage Style Hire
I was particularly proud of our ‘advice zones’ which I worked hard on designing and planning. Our visitors loved having the opportunity to sit down and actually engage properly with our hand-picked collection of wedding suppliers.
And finally our ‘talks zone’ not only looked but played the part, with three highly practical and useful talks on key areas of planning from members of the UK Alliance of Wedding Planners

A special thanks to Always Andri and Isabel Smith Weddings for working tirelessly with me on this event.
