Amethyst Weddings

D'oh I prematurely celebrated the gothic shoots anniversary last week. I blame post wedding brain fog. I'm usually spot on with dates so have no idea why I got this one wrong. So happy 1st anniversary to my beautiful gothic romance shoot at Newhouse Estate

I don't just help plan weddings. Over the last few years I've given my time to a fabulous local charity Friends of PICU and helped with some of their events. Last year was their Gatsby themed ball. All styled in gold and black with some added sparkle. Absolutely LOVE these crystal candelabras supplied by the lovely ladies Linen and Lace. What do you think?

I always cringe when I see or read about balloon releases. I will never condone or encourage the use of them for any celebration. Please don't ask me to as you probably won't like my response. #fortheaminals

Big thanks to Cathy - The Bespoke Brand Designer for creating this for me. The website already boasts the new logo but the new colour scheme is coming very soon. I've not had enough hours in the day recently.

Tomorrow is the BIG reveal!

Two bright pink bags full of table linen for this Saturday's wedding! Thanks 365 Table Linen Hire for the great service.

Decided to treat myself to some roses today. Don't forget to take some time out from your wedding planning every now and again OR get some help from a professional. An experienced wedding planner can take the strain for you and leave you to enjoy your engagement. Who wouldn't want that? #stressfreeweddingplanning #stressfreewedding #stressfreeweddingday #hampshireweddingplanner #weddingplanninghampshire #bookaweddingplanner #reasonstobookaweddingplanner

Wedding rehearsal at this quirky church near Alton this evening. Can't wait to see what it's like inside.

It's 3 whole years since these fabulous people came together and created this metallic magic at Marwell Hotel - photo by Jenny Owens Photography, UNIQUE CAKES, by Yevnig, Louise Avery Flowers, Me Time Glass, Natasha Wiggins & Team - Make Up, Hair & Beauty, A Finishing Touch, Amaryllis Bridal Boutique, Emma Llewellyn and Natasha Disney 💜💜

Facebook have been tweaking again. The reviews section is now "recommendations" and all the lovely words from couples and suppliers I've worked alongside in the past are no more!! :-( If you feel that way inclined I'd love a bit of Facebook love coming my way ;-) 💜💜 Photo taken by Entity Photographic - Wedding Photographer Hampshire at the wedding of Alex & Jenny.

Happy national prosecco day. Chin chin 🥂 #nationalprocessoday photo taken at my own wedding at Bowes Museum in 2008.

This is me on my wedding day over 10 years ago. An informal shot taken by our photographer whilst my mum and aunty tied my dress corset up. The fab Tracey at Beautiful Bride Makeovers Newcastle did my hair and makeup and made me feel like a princess.

As it's #internationalcatday i thought I'd share a photo of my fluffy princess. I'd be lost without my little diva. #ilovemycat #weddingplannerhampshire #weddingplannerscat #hampshireweddings

I fell in lust with Gifted Heart Cakes work the moment I saw them appear on my facebook feed. So I was thrilled when Emma agreed to make these bespoke deigns for last years gothic styled shoot. Table plan was created by Wedding Invitation Creations and flowers by the fabulous Pomp and Petals. Photo by Jenny Owens Photography at Newhouse Estate.

Sian has been absolutely fantastic. We hired her services for on the day co-ordination which was worth every penny, she was professional, calm and even comes prepared with a box of tricks should you need anything! The best advise I can give to anyone getting married is to hire a planner

Sian demonstrated great organisational skills. Her calm and friendly manner would be an asset to any event. I would welcome the opportunity to work with Sian again and can highly recommend her.

Professional through and through. Organised, methodical, warm and friendly, calm and level headed....just what you need when managing a special event. Thoroughly enjoyed working together and felt that everything was planned to perfection.

I really wish I could give more stars!! Sian is amazing!! So calm, friendly and professional. The best wedding planner ever!!!! Deserves a medal for her work.

Highly recommended!

Friendly & professional. Great at organising and knows her products! Pleasure to work with xxx

Fantastic organiser, everything runs like clockwork with Sian on the case! I look forward to working with you again Sian you think of all eventualities ♡
