WEDDING RESOURCES
Wedding planning,
without the rulebook.
Useful when you need it. Ignorable when you don’t.
Fifteen-plus years of weddings has left me with a very specific little black book. This is where I’ve put the questions I get asked over and over: timings, rain plans, ceremonies, suppliers, engagement sessions and the things nobody thinks to Google until the week before.
You absolutely do not need to read everything. Steal what makes your day easier, ignore anything that isn’t you, and get back to planning the actual wedding.

PLAN AN EPIC DAY
The internet can turn wedding planning into a full-time job.
This page should do the opposite.
I’ve been at enough weddings to know which tiny decisions make a surprisingly big difference — and which “rules” you can happily ignore. Think of this as useful experience on tap, not homework.

Your Guide to an Epic Wedding
My best planning advice, things I’ve learned the hard way on other people’s wedding days, and questions you might not know to ask yet — all in one place.
USEFUL TOO
Digital wedding planner
An optional working planner for suppliers, timings and setup notes. Especially useful if you like having everything in one place without creating a spreadsheet from scratch.
START WHERE YOU ARE
What are you trying to solve?
You don’t need a twelve-tab planning system. Pick the thing currently living rent-free in your head and start there.
01
The flow of the day
Timings, logistics and the tiny bits of preparation that protect more time for the people you actually invited.
02
The ceremony
Entrances, readings, music and how to make the meaningful bit feel like you rather than a performance of what weddings are “supposed” to be.
03
The photographs
Not how to perform for the camera. How to make the photography fit the two of you — and make the wedding day easier because of it.
04
The party + your people
Confetti, music, suppliers and all the things that shape the atmosphere once everyone you love is in one place.
WHY I CARE ABOUT THIS STUFF
The goal isn’t to control your wedding.
It’s to protect the feeling of it.
Good planning is not about producing a flawless timetable. It is about doing enough thinking beforehand that, when the day arrives, everybody gets to be in it.
That’s why I care about things like buffers in a timeline, knowing who your people are, where the light falls and whether your Plan B is actually a plan you’d be happy with. Quiet preparation gives the real moments more room to happen.
YOUR LITTLE BLACK BOOK
Need a person? A place? I probably have thoughts.
Some suppliers make a wedding feel effortless because they quietly care about the whole day, not just their little piece of it. And some venues simply work beautifully for people, atmosphere and photographs. These are the lists I’d start with.
THE PEOPLE
Suppliers I’d happily work beside again.
A shortlist of florists, planners, videographers, HMUAs and other brilliant humans who make the day better rather than busier.
THE PLACES
Venue guides for Sussex weddings.
Start broad, then follow the rabbit hole once you know whether you want city, countryside, manor house, barn or somewhere completely unexpected.
DAYDREAM WITH ME
How about we daydream together?
Have a scroll through what I’ve been saving lately. If something makes you stop, save it to your own board or DM me the inspo while you’re doomscrolling — flowers, light, outfits, details, photographs, anything. You don’t need to know why you like it.
This is inspiration, not a shopping list. We’re looking for the feeling underneath it.
FANCY A RABBIT HOLE?
The full wedding planning library.
For the planners, the researchers and anyone who has suddenly decided at 11:17pm that they need to know everything there is to know about confetti.
Ceremony + celebration
THINK WE’D BE A GOOD FIT?
I’ll do the thinking before the moment,
so you can actually be in it.
Planning advice is useful. Having somebody on the wedding day who already knows what matters to you — and notices what could be missed — is even better.
