Stress-free wedding planningStress-free wedding planning: Problem Pal

My in-laws HATE everything about my wedding – and me!

There are seven words no one planning their wedding wants to hear: ‘you could at least offer a soup.’

I’ve helped couples navigate tricky social situations from wayward wedding guests on Problem Pal before, from guests who didn’t RSVP but thought they could still rock up, to guests who took it upon themselves to invite other people to the wedding, but this is the first time I’ve heard of wedding guests who aren’t involved in the planning criticising everything about the wedding – and the bride.

If you have high blood pressure, you might want to give this one a miss. It will make you angry.

Let's talk table names.⁠ ⁠ Your wedding should Let's talk table names.⁠
⁠
Your wedding should feel like you, with little touches that make it completely unique to you and your partner.⁠
⁠
Table names are a fantastic place to work in some more personality without feeling cheesy or distracting; they need names anyway, so people can tell them apart!⁠
⁠
Naming them after something that matters to you, like places important to you as a couple or your favourite films, makes the day feel a bit more you.⁠
⁠
Check out more ideas for non-boring table names on our blog.⁠

Wedding suppliers aren't just people you hire to t Wedding suppliers aren't just people you hire to take photos or make stationery.⁠
⁠
They're the people who make your wedding happen. ⁠
⁠
So it's important to find people you click with, who get your sense of humour, share your values, and match your style.⁠ People you'd invite to your wedding if they weren't working it!⁠
⁠
If you're eco-conscious, hiring a cake maker who doesn't know what sustainability means probably won't end with you having the low carbon footprint wedding you'd expected.⁠
⁠
If you're having an alternative festival wedding with fun fair games and food trucks, hiring a traditional planner with a portfolio of church weddings probably won't be best placed to organise the day you’re picturing.⁠
⁠
It's important that you find people on your wavelength to help with your wedding.⁠
⁠
Check out our list of the 37 BEST wedding suppliers in London to find people who'll GET you - and make your wedding rock!⁠

Getting married shouldn't feel like a chore, but w Getting married shouldn't feel like a chore, but when you need to chase for RSVPs — again — or count and re-count and aah-I-lost-track re-count who needs a vegan option, it can seem more like a job than a joy.⁠

Our websites organise your wedding for you, so you can spend time with the awesome person you're marrying — not with (far less awesome) spreadsheets.⁠

Your wedding ceremony should be a reflection of yo Your wedding ceremony should be a reflection of you – fun, unique, and anything but cheesy.⁠

But it can be hard to find a reading that fits your day and your relationship. You don't want a poem that feels like a homework assignment, and you don't want a modern reading that you've heard at five other weddings.⁠

Getting people to RSVP on time is HARD.⁠ ⁠ And Getting people to RSVP on time is HARD.⁠
⁠
And some of the worst offenders are parents, siblings, and people in the wedding party, who assume they don't have to RSVP because you already know they're coming - forgetting about meal choices, plus one details, allergy information... And how much harder it is for you, not having all of the details in once place!⁠

This March, we're supporting @codingblackfemales who educate, support, and provide opportunities for Black women and non-binary people in tech.⁠
⁠
Women are still sorely underrepresented in the tech industry (as a female programmer myself, I can tell you I'm far more of an anomoly than I'd like to be!) and Black women are underrepresented in that underrepresentation!⁠
⁠
Coding Black Females is doing brilliant work to correct that. They're an amazing organisation, well worth your support. Check them out!

We're beavering away behind the scenes on a NEW design for our house collection at the moment.⁠
⁠
It's...⁠
⁠
✔️ called Taylor. (Three guesses who we named it after!)⁠
⁠
✔️ blush with navy blue. (Though, like all our designs, it can be recoloured to fit your wedding.)⁠
⁠
✔️ got some handwritten text, to bring a little personality to an elegant, clean design. (I'm in LOVE with the 'ish' timing on this order of service!)⁠
⁠
✔️ elegant and beautiful - but it doesn't fit neatly within the lines...!⁠
⁠
✔️ got something NONE of our other designs have!⁠

You'll be able to see more when we officially add it to the collection soon. I can't wait to show you!
