A Touch Of You
| Q | What are your stellar suggestions for your all-important finishing touches? |
| A | Katie Lloyd says: Your wedding is a blank canvas to express your love story, unique and personal to you as a couple. Consider creating personalised vows to make your ceremony that little more special and reflect you both as a couple. 2025 is seeing lots of neutral colours filter into decor. Delicate gypsophila and beautiful roses are set to take centre stage. Think elegance and timeless romance. Another thoughtful addition to your wedding reception is to create personalised cocktails, which could be one specifically created for your wedding day, or perhaps just simply your favourite tipple that your guests will love to enjoy too. Photographs of your love story are always a great idea, not only will it create a talking point amongst your guests but it will also tell your love story and show pivotal points of your journey together. Lastly welcome flexibility, sometimes things won't always go to plan or unfold as envisioned but that doesn't mean the day won't be perfect. The most important thing is you will be surrounded by love with all of your favourite people and loved ones present. |

Style The Season
| Q | What is your advice on planning an autumn wedding? |
| A | Katie Lloyd says: Planning a wedding anytime of the year is exciting, however we feel that's something particularly special about autumnal weddings. The vibrant colours, the warmth and cosiness of the season will almost certainly set the scene for a beautiful wedding. Here are a few things to consider when planning your autumnal nuptials. The sun sets earlier and daylight is lower so candlelight will be your best friend and will provide the most romantic vibe and setting. Consider using Autumnal scented candles such as cedar wood or spiced apple for an earthy aroma that guests will remember. Be brave and incorporate all things autumnal, such as pumpkins and toasting marshmallows and use rich tones and colours within your decor. Golds are fantastic this time of year. Consider also, providing blankets outside for guests. Whatever you decide on for your autumnal wedding there's no doubt the natural beauty of this magical season will provide you with the perfect romantic backdrop to say "I do." |

Balancing The Budget
| Q | What is your advice on planning the perfect intimate wedding? |
| A | Katie Lloyd says: One of the hardest things about setting a date is finding a venue to suit that also lines up with numbers and requirements. Reducing your guest list will give you a wider choice of venues and help with costs too. Weekday weddings are typically cheaper, meaning you have more budget to spend on other areas of the wedding. With fewer guests to cater for, it gives you more scope. Maybe you'd like a brunch style wedding breakfast, or a twilight ceremony. With more budget available it allows you to splurge on the more important things to you, like venue styling. Creating your dream decor with beautiful flowers and elegant styling will mean more to you than sending out invites to people you might not have seen in a long time. One thing's for sure, it's your wedding and therefore it should be your way. Making your big day truly spectacular is way more important than a huge guest list. |
