'Something Blue'

"Something Blue..."

As the famous tradition states; 'Something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue'. It seems to me that by adding the palette of aqua blue it can add a glamourous edge to your special day. This look is perfect for any bride wanting to create the WOW factor with a cool splash of classic blue that will inject elegance and cultivated beauty in to any wedding.

Why stop there? We all know that diamonds will always be a girls best friend (taking Chocolate out the equation - of course!) so why not frost your day in aqua diamonds? Now, we all know its not always possible to shower your guests in the real thing but I have handpicked some excellent alternatives to really make your day sparkle:

'Love Bouquets'

www.lovebouquets.co.uk

'Love Bouquets' creates stunning one-off bouquets that will compliment your theme perfectly, not only do they create original pieces they can also personalise it using pieces belonging to the bride; why not convert your 'something old' in to 'something new'?

*

'Glitzy Secrets'

www.Glitzysecrets.com

The Glitzy Secret's collection provides beautiful jewelry inspired from era's in the past, why not complete your perfect dress with some jewel-dropping chandelier earrings that will stun all your guests, and not to mention - look fab in your photo album!

'Cakes by Beth'

These beautifully hand crafted cakes are truly stunning and would create a stunning centerpiece to your wedding.

No wedding will ever be the same with Unique but diamonds will always be the stone of everlasting love - which is not a bad impression to leave your guests with is it?

Sarah & Tony: Dore Church & Thornbridge Hall

Sarah & Tony: 28th May 2011: The Best of Both Worlds (& a bit more!)

First off all, I make no apologies for the longer than normal Blog & the more than usual amount of images...I just couldn't choose...So enjoy!

I first met Sarah & Tony on a very dreary November day at an extremely dreary Wedding Fayre.

I was soon jolted awake by Tony, who being a man who says what he thinks, told me in no uncertain terms what he though of me not replying to his emails! Well...lucky for me, it wasn't me ... It doesn't matter who it was, because as it turned out, it was a really great ice-breaker!

You can't imagine how disappointed I was (read devastated!!), when they had to leave. Their young daughter who less than impressed with the Fayre, decided it was time for them to go.... and they'd just started telling me about their wedding, planned for the following May at one of my very favourite venues, Thornbridge Hall! Thornbridge is just one of those places that I instantly fell in love with. When I first started Unique, I did lots of market research on many venues & I knew that I always wanted to work at there, as for many reasons, it falls top of most of my lists..

I was absolutely thrilled (& glad I wasn't on Skype!), when Tony called the following February, to say that they would like some support with their final wedding plans. For couples who are having a large wedding or holding it an unusual venue, involving many suppliers, it is normally within 4-6 months of the big day that they will request some help with the completion of their planning. My Best of Both Worlds Package is designed with this in mind & can be adapted to suit each couples needs.

I arranged to meet them at their home & we covered all the planning that they had done to date & talked about what was left to do. This included sourcing all the outstanding suppliers, building a plan that managed them all, setting up the venue the day before the wedding & then coordinating all the elements on the actual day, including the set up at the church.

From this, I put together a proposal that covered all the above & I'm thrilled to say that they hired me immediately. Over the next few months I met them many times & kept them updated with the plan as it changed, making sure that all the suppliers involved where kept in the loop.

I know from the feedback that I've had from them & the largest box of chocolates ever (yes I did eat all of them!), that they were absolutely thrilled with how their wedding day came together. From my point of view, it was extremely hard work, but an absolute privilege to both to have been a part of such an incredible day & to work with such amazing suppliers at a stunning venue ...What more could a Wedding Planner ask for ?!!

With major thanks to Jo & Simon at http://www.shoot-lifestyle.co.uk/ for capturing the day with totally stunning photography.

To Mat Hepplestone at http://www.redfloral.co.uk/ for the amazing flowers.

And finally to Jackie at http://www.thornbridgehall.co.uk/home.html where there truly is, always something different!

Beccy & James: Christian's at The Beauchief

Beccy & James: 21st May 2011: Outsourcing Service

There were only 3 weeks to go before her wedding when I first met Beccy and on realising that the Events Coordinator she had been dealing with had left, she promptly burst in to tears .... Not a great start I thought! (One of the things that I would always recommend to venues is that when a key member of their planning staff leaves, they need to inform all the couples who that person had been dealing with, to prevent & manage some of the shock!).

I had to work quickly & calmly to ensure that I re-gained Beccy's trust & eliminated any doubts or stress, so near to her big day.

I started by covering a run through of her day and produced an itinerary, detailing everything that needed to happen & at what time. I don't mind admitting (after the event of course), that at this stage, there were some gaps in the plan! There was no white linen, there were definitely not 100 Martini Glasses for the cocktails .... neither was there a clear plan for the marquee required to house the additional guests on the outside terrace.

The point is, by producing the plan & walking through the day, it was easy to identify what was still left to do, what needed ordering & what staff needed to be involved on the day. Beccy & her husband James, were having the works .. a cocktail hour & casino in the bar & VIP area, a sit down wedding breakfast for over 120 people in The Ballroom & marquee & a large evening reception... This meant that at some stage of the celebrations, most of the downstairs areas at Christian's would be used, so this became a team effort.

Well..at the risk of being boring & saying the same thing, it's only by having the plan in place, that everyone is clear (including the couple), what needs to happen to make their dreams come to true on their Wedding Day.

Come the big day, I can honestly say that they had a ball & that Beccy will be remembered as one of the happiest brides that I've ever seen. I had a lovely message afterwards to say thank-you & that their day had been absolutely perfect...

The last 2 posts have been my first weddings using my Outsourcing Service. I hope you've enjoyed reading about them.

I also hope that from a couples perspective, it gives you confidence that with the right people in place, everything can be pulled together... even at short notice. From a venue's perspective, it hopefully gives you an insight as to how sometimes, outside help can be extremely valuable & that having external support, doesn't always mean someone working on the outside of your team

With thanks to Mike Leng for the photography @ http://www.mike-leng.co.uk

Jenny & Jonny: Christian's at The Beauchief

Jenny & Jonny:14th May 2011: My first outsourcing service wedding !

Well, following on from my last post, this was the first chance that I had to put the idea of providing an outsourcing service to a venue, in to action & I couldn't have asked for a nicer couple to work with!

I first met Jenny & Jonny less than 2 weeks before their big day & to say they were nervous of having a new person to manage their wedding at such a late stage would be an understatement! It's such an emotional time for couples, especially in the last few weeks ... (another reason to have a planner that is with you from beginning to end!).

I started by going through with Jenny & Jonny, step by step, how their day was going to run. We covered what suppliers had been booked, what was happening at what time & from the first meeting, I produced a plan of the day, so they were confident that I had everything in hand. Having a detailed plan not only allows the venue to coordinate the whole wedding, it also allows couples to see exactly what they can expect. They can then work through everything & make sure they actually do want things at a certain time or in a certain way! ... Sometimes, it's only by seeing everything in black & white, before the event, that they are able to really think about the flow of their day & question whether it is what you they are trying to achieve.

As I was also working with a completely new team @ Christian's, the pre-planning meetings, utilising the day plan, really enabled them to pull together, with everyone understanding what part they had to play. From a venue's perspective, successful weddings are made by lots of individuals, from all the teams involved, understanding what's needed, being prepared & giving a seamless service on the day...

The end result is that the couple get a fantastic service all round, whether it be from the bar, the kitchen or the coordinator ...

Everyone worked together to ensure that Jenny & Jonny's wedding was a great success & in their own words, in the thank-you that they sent ..Their whole day ran smoothly from start to finish & they couldn't have wished for a better day... :-)

Thanks to Deborah Stone Photography @ http://www.deborahstone.co.uk/ for the images & fabulous album Christian's now has to showcase their weddings & to Kate from Pretty Chairs @ http://www.prettychairs.co.uk/ for the venue styling.

Venue Outsourcing: An Additional Service from Unique

So What is Venue Outsourcing?

The background to my decision to offer a outsourcing service through Unique, lies in the fact that I've spent my entire working life in the customer service industry & for the last eleven years of my career I was head of operations in a large contact centre. As part of my role, I looked after the relationship between the business & it's customers & was responsible for making sure not only that we were delivering excellent customer service, but that everything was done with maximum efficiency.

Well......in that environment, it's hard to be efficient when the phone isn't constantly ringing & you have staff who, with the best will in the world, aren't occupied 100% of the time. To fill this time, most places will "outsource" their services to other companies to plug the gaps, answering the phone on their behalf. So... when I was initially approached by Christian's @ The Beauchief a couple of months ago, to help them grow their events & manage their existing weddings, it made perfect sense to incorporate this in to my business, working it around my existing commitments..

For more Unique venues that haven't got weddings every weekend of the year, it doesn't make sense for them to have someone employed full-time, but they still need a person they can rely on to show couples around the venue & manage the actual wedding day on their behalf. There are also the occasions where a venue will need someone in to cover sickness / holidays & ensure the bridal party gets a seamless service.

It's a win/ win for both parties, as the venue gets a wedding professional with experience, on a very ad-hoc basis which will suit their needs & I get to fit this around my current commitments, ensuring that I am occupied for 100% of my time...which I LOVE!! Alongside all the Unique weddings & The Wedding Planning College..I have plenty to keep me occupied. It also makes my work less seasonal, as it gives me the opportunity to work all the year round, focussing on Christmas events, once the wedding season has passed.

I've already had a conversation with a very prestigious venue about extending this service...so watch this space..!!

Top Tips for a Great Wedding ....

Top Tips For a Great Wedding :

It's so easy, when you've just got engaged, to get caught up in the whirl-wind of wedding fayres & looking at venues & suppliers, without ever really coming to any decisions... There's so much choice & the prices can vary massively, so to begin with, you need to ask yourselves the following questions .....

• What you really like about weddings ?.
• What you really dislike about weddings?.

• What is the total amount of money that you want to spend on your wedding?.

• What do you want people to say about your wedding?

By answering the questions above, you can narrow down the options & start making some decisions. To do this, you would normally start by breaking down your budget & deciding exactly what you intend to have on your wedding day. So, for example, if the average spend on a reception is around 40% of your budget, ask yourself if that will be enough to ensure you have all the things that you want .... If the most important thing is that you want the full works in terms of canapés, a sit-down wedding breakfast, with wines, champagne toast etc.. you might have to forfeit something else, that is less important to you both.

Once you have decided exactly what money you have to spend on each of the elements that you require, you need to decide on a theme for your wedding. By this, I don't mean fancy dress ... it's more about what colour schemes do you both like & in terms of a venue, do you like old buildings or do you prefer the more contemporary style?

Once you have a theme in mind, stick to it & ensure that everything mirrors it, from the invitations, through to the favours & everywhere in-between.

Here's what to do next:

• Find a venue that can accommodate your needs. This may either be for a packaged wedding or a venue that offers more flexibility.

• Ensure the venue matches both your style & budget.

• Book early to secure any special deals they might be offering.

• To get maximum value for your money, book a mid-week day or a Friday.

• Engage suppliers that are flexible & can deliver to the style & price you require.

• Stick to your original plan .. don't get pressured in to doing things that don't suit you .. you'll regret it on the day.

Consider hiring a planner. The misconception is that this is a massive additional expense to your budget .. However, if you find a good planner, this shouldn't be the case. Most planners start with a free consultation, where you can get to know each other & they should listen to everything that you wish to have for your wedding. From that, they should produce a proposal for you that documents everything that they will do for you & the associated fees that they will charge. A planner will be used to working with suppliers & will generally be able to negotiate discounts on your behalf. You'll also have the added advantage of an expert being on-hand, from the moment you hire them, normally to the time you have your first dance.

The Wedding Planning College

WHY SET-UP THE WEDDING PLANNING COLLEGE? 

After being inundated with requests for instant advice & practical training, Lisa Hilliard (from Lisa Hilliard Wedding Planning) & myself, have joined forces to launch The Wedding Planning College

There will be few weddings as prestigious as Prince William & Kate Middleton, but with the number of weddings expected to increase, it won’t only be the rich & famous that will look to hire the services of a wedding planner. However, wedding planning is unregulated & there are no mandatory qualifications required to set-up a wedding planning business.

The Wedding Planning College offers Training Events, Mentoring & On-going business support

WHAT DOES THE WEDDING PLANNING COLLEGE OFFER?

The Wedding Planning College prides itself on offering real, honest & professional advice through training events, personal mentoring & long term business support. The graduates from the college will be encouraged to become part of an on-going network that aims to bring best practice to their businesses.

Watching films such as The Wedding Planner can sometimes paint an inaccurate picture of what’s really involved in planning the most important day in someone’s life. This kind of romantic media results in many people aspiring to wedding planning as their dream job.... which it can be ... but it’s also a lot of hard work, both emotionally & physically! 

Lisa & I will personally mentor people to achieve their dream but our support will be based on practical learning & experience. We believe that as established and trading wedding planners we can offer real training & advice to enable people to become successful planners.

The Courses have been designed by REAL Wedding Planners

WHERE & WHEN WILL THE TRAINING TAKE PLACE?

Using the fabulous training facilities, on the 6^th Floor of the new CASA Hotel, in Chesterfield, we aim to attract people from the Midlands & Yorkshire to our “Train to Plan” two day training events. Each event will take place over a weekend and includes a mixture of factual based learning, individual exercises, group activities & guest speakers, from the industry. Lisa & I will guide & mentor delegates through each session, offering honest advice, sharing real examples and working with individuals to inspire their own wedding planning business development.

The new CASA Hotel in Chesterfield

WHAT TRAINING & BUSINESS SUPPORT IS AVAILABLE?

Training sessions will include “Setting up a wedding planning business” & “How to plan & coordinate a Wedding”. The first ones are due to be held on the 1^st/2^nd October & the 5^th/ 6^th November. 

There are opening offers for the first 16 delegates. Please check the website for details:

www.theweddingplanningcollege.co.uk

Lisa said “There were no specific practical wedding planning courses when I started my business & I went in to it somewhat blind. General courses helped with the business side of things & an on-line course taught me an overview of the wedding planning industry, but no-one actually told me what I really needed to know”

All Train to Plan events offer REAL honest advice, guidance & support

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

We are extremely grateful to Mark Tierney from Tierney Photography for the amazing images for our new web-site & to Lynsey Wells from Bimbo Design for creating the look of our new brand.

How to have a Unique Wedding

How to have a Unique Wedding
I've said it before ... I believe that no two weddings should be the same... your wedding should be bespoke to you ... not a replica of someone else's.
At Unique, I specialise in the use of Unique venues & the creation of bespoke weddings & services. I don't believe that it matters what your budget is ...  it's about the way you choose to spend the money & ensuring that your day reflects your personality & the day you want to have.
So what are my top tips for planning a Unique Wedding Day ?For the process to begin, I think you both need to answer four key questions :

1. What do you like about weddings?
2. What do you really dislike about weddings?
3. What do you want people to say about your Wedding?
4. What is the total amount that you want to spend on your wedding?

Start with a plan that you both agree on !

Wedding budget breakdown advice:This will vary slightly from book to book & between planners, but the below is a good indication (as supplied by the BBC web-site).

• 45% on the wedding reception - venue, food, drink and cake
•   5%  on ceremony - venue fees, wedding rings & choir
•   8%  on all flowers
•   5%  on transport - bridal cars and additional cars
• 10% on photography and videography
• 12% on wedding attire including dress
• 15% on everything else - stationery, gifts for bridal party, wedding insurance, wedding night accommodation and honeymoon

Decide if these percentages are really the way that you want to spend your money. For example, having a great band may be more important to you than whether you have a selection of five canapes. You may choose to get married at a venue where you don't need transport etc. 

Using all your ideas, re-do your budget to show exactly what you want to spend your money on.

Venue & supplier search advice:Once you have a really good idea of what you both want from your day & know exactly what you want to spend on it then you are ready to find a venue & suppliers to match your theme & budget. Here are some of the things that I would look at:

• How flexible is your wedding venue & are they interested in your ideas? 
• Are you tied to set package for food & drink?
• Have you got exclusive use of the venue?
• Can you taste the food before your wedding day?
• Can you use the suppliers you want to at your chosen venue?
• Are there any restrictions on times for either the ceremony or closing time?
• Are there minimum / maximum numbers of guests that you have to have?
• Do you have to purchase rooms at the venue?
• Is the venue happy to work with a wedding planner,should you chose to have one?
• How flexible are suppliers on the options that they are offering?
• Will they adapt to suit something that you particularly want?
• What are their prices compared to the competition & if they are more / less expensive, what makes that difference?
• Do they have testimonials & images of previous work, so you can ensure that they match your theme?

I hope you find this useful .... I do think that finding the just the right venue & theme will give you a Unique Day & one that you will remember forever .. for all the right reasons!  
Finally... hiring a good Wedding Planner will guarantee that you find the venue & suppliers to match both your style & budget ... I always start with a free consultation that covers all the above .. what have you got to loose??

Purple theme

Purple Styling Inspiration
I know I put a blog together recently indicating that Peach is on trend as the colour to have for the new season... well..that might be happening on the High Street & in magazines, but it doesn't seem to be the case in reality......
I've met over 50 new couples over the last few weeks & many of them seem to be just loving dark purple... I can see why.. It's so versatile & transfers easily from a chic summer look in to dramatic evening styling..great with tea lights, candles & a crisp white background...

Purple Styling Inspiration

As you can see....it's just fantastically versatile.  Lot's of brides described it as "Cadburys" purple..(now I'm not sure I'm supposed to say that..but that's exactly what it is!!).

When I take one of the signature Calla-Lilly bouquets from Katie Peckett to a Wedding Fayre, they're a real show stopper.  Come along to Wentworth Castle Wedding Fayre on Sunday 13th March & you'll see why..

The staff at Capesthorne pride themselves on being able to provide a venue with individuality & the elegant interior and landscape will make Capesthorne an ideal venue for anyone considering hosting their wedding reception or civil partnership in Cheshire.

Wentworth Castle

There are lots of reasons to have your wedding at the superb venue, Wentworth Castle, not least of all because of the history that lays behind it, that makes it one of the most fascinating buildings for miles.
The bitter family feud between Thomas Wentworth & his cousin over inheritance, resulted in the building of a vast estate & gardens, with Thomas determined to show his wealth. In 1727 Thomas even began to build the mock castle on the highest point of the estate that could be viewed by his cousin some 7 miles away. In 1731, when the building was complete, he renamed the house and estate as Wentworth Castle.
Whatever the reasons, what remains today is a superb venue, steeped in history, with many opportunities to have the wedding & photographs of your dreams.  It is a favoured venue of some of the top photographers in our region & the images below are courtesy of one of my favourites, Tierney Photography.

Wentworth Castle 

Wentworth Castle Gardens

Wentworth Castle

The Long Barn

So, as you can see there so many possibilities for your Wedding Day... The Long Barn can be used for Civil Ceremonies too, as well as your Wedding Breakfast.  I'll be there on the 13th March at the Wedding Fayre to talk through all your ideas....

Huge thanks to Mark Tierney of Tierney Photography for showing Wentworth Castle Gardens in his Unique & innovative style...see more of his work @ www.tierneyphotography.co.uk

Selecting a wedding Planner

How to select your Wedding Planner.

So you've decided that you would like some help with the planning of your wedding, whether it be starting with the whole design or just co-ordination of the day.. so what are the things that you will need to consider ?

The below article is impartial advice from the UK Alliance of Wedding Planners, to which I am a member.

One of the main reasons for the existence of the UKAWP is to act as a reliable reference point for you, the bride. If you are looking for a professional wedding planner, this is the place for you. All of our members have been vetted for their honesty, professionalism and experience. They all offer a consultation where you can discuss your wedding in more detail and how they may be able to help you. Please view our code of ethics and entry requirements to understand how serious we are about the industry and the planners we promote. To further assist you we have devised some guidelines below.

RESEARCH

• Look through wedding magazines or search engines to see which planners are listed for your area. Start by reading their websites thoroughly to understand how they operate.

• Read the websites carefully for typos and bad grammar. If they cannot proof read their own work, then can you trust them with your stationery?

• Contact them for more information. Do they respond within an acceptable timeframe with clear and concise details?

• Arrange a consultation with at least two that meet your requirements. This should be arranged at a time and place convenient for you.

CONSULTATION

• During the consultation, does the planner ask lots of questions regarding your personality and any initial plans?

• Do they understand your wedding vision? They should be enthusiastic and build on your ideas.

• Do you have a rapport and feel at ease with them? Remember you will be in close contact during the planning so you must actually like them as a person!

• What special touches can they recommend for your wedding?

• How long they have been in business and how many weddings have they organised? Can they provide references?

• Ask how they charge, for example do they charge a fixed fee or a percentage of the budget?

• Ask if they accept commission from suppliers and are discounts passed onto you?

• Ask to see proof of public liability insurance.

• Do they have a portfolio for you to look at from past weddings?

THE PROPOSAL

• When this arrives, does it match your recent discussion?

• If the quote is not acceptable, then contact the planner to discuss. Could there be any items that could be removed?

• Check  whether there are any extra charges, i.e. travel, accommodation, administrative work.

• Once you book a planner, make sure you sign a contract. Read it carefully.

• Don’t forget to use your planner as an information source; they may be able to advise you on any issues of concern.

• Keep in regular contact with your planner and update them of any changes.

For more information regarding wedding planners, please email info@ukawp.com This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it  or call 01483 282858, 01376 561 544 or 01442 828061

My personal advice would be to look for someone who you feel can give your Wedding their full attention.  I also think it's useful to go with someone who has the experience of planning their own wedding & then they better understand the emotional side of the planning process & can help you through times of stress.

Well, I've been married twice & have organised both a very traditional Wedding & also a Wedding away from home, followed by a huge party, complete with a 3 tier chocolate cake, live band & bridesmaids.. Whatever your needs, I feel confident that I will have the experience to deal with them.

Gold theme

Gold Wedding Inspiration.
I was recently asked by a bride to be for help with room decoration ideas to compliment her Gold themed wedding this Spring.  The brief was that there are to be no floral arrangements for table centre-pieces & that balloons need to be incorporated.
As part of the feedback to a request for inspiration, I would always make suggestions that cover all the aspects of the wedding, from flowers, to cakes to favours to ensure that any theme flows through the whole day.
For this particular wedding, I have also suggested subtle use of gold through table runners, chair sashes & a tasteful organza bow on the wedding table. Candelabras will be in place as table centre-pieces & to compliment the elegant feel I have suggested the use of gold crystals to scatter across the tables as they will break up the flat look to plain linen.

Gold Themed Wedding Room Decorations

As part of the feedback, I would always recommend a couple of suppliers for each of the ideas that I am suggesting.  This way you'll have alternatives to suit both your style & budget.

I guarantee that I can provide innovative solutions for absolutely everything that you will need for your Unique day & as your first consultation is free, what are you waiting for ! !
