Not Just Any Ordinary Wedding Show...

Well those Clever Ladies and Leading Lights in Loveliness behind the genius of the UKAWP have done it again! 
If you're getting a little uninspired and disheartened by some of the more lacklustre wedding fairs and shows out there that seem to be ten a penny these days, then you're in for a treat with this Wedding Retreat! 


The Wedding Sanctuary is the brainchild of the UKAWP, an 'an innovative wedding show designed to offer top design inspiration, personal style advice and the best one on one planning support available.'  Hosted at the prestigious Somerset House, the cream of the wedding crop will be on hand to inspire and guide you through your exciting planning process. 


"Top names in the industry such as Julia Boggio Photography, Amanda Austin Flowers, Sternberg Clarke and Gorgeous Film Productions will be paired with the fabulous wedding planners who make up the UKAWP to offer top tips and the opportunity to ask specific questions regarding every element of your wedding day. International bloggers Staggered will even be on hand to assist Grooms with their suits, stag dos and speeches. The Alliance will also be offering a range of talks addressing the trickier issues when planning your wedding like how to set and stick to a budget, and how to get the best from your suppliers. You will also be able to have a personal tour of the sumptuous Somerset House and enjoy the splendid views and facilities on offer.



BE INSPIRED
You will be invited to sip champagne and nibble delicious canapés courtesy of renowned event caterers Table Talk whilst browsing the inspiration zone for design ideas. 5 stunning dining tables will be styled by wedding planners of the UKAWP alongside Zoe Clark Cakes and Cutture Stationery, displaying the very best of what is available to hire for your wedding reception, with pricing guidelines and practical information included.

GET THE LOOK
Brides in need of style advice can meet in the boudoir where the likes of Sassi Holford and Emmy Shoes can dress you from head to toe whilst hair and make-up expert Elle au Naturel and top personal stylist Katrina Choat offer consultations on how to look and feel your absolute best on the day.

The Wedding Magazine team will also be there to chat through your ideas."

Inspiring Mood Boards - Chic Beach Wedding


A couple of weekends ago, I attended the UK Alliance of Wedding Planners UKAWP two day course in Cheadle House, Cheadle.  I was in my element - 14 hours of non-stop wedding chatter with like minded wedding obsessed ladies!  I had a fabulous time, met some very inspiring ladies and really learnt a lot.

The UKAWP promote professionalism in the wedding industry.  I was lucky enough to meet one of their directors, the fabulous Kelly Chandler of The Bespoke Wedding Company, who was our tutor for the two days.  Assisting her on day two was the gorgeous Erika Unbehaun of Flutterfly Events

Day two set us the task of meeting with a potential bride at a mock consultation to discuss the day of her dreams.  In my case, a Chic Beach Cornish Wedding for June 2011!  It was great fun to get into character and plan a sophisticated, lavish affair.

So, here's a sneak peak of my proposal - my Chic Beach Mood Board.  Roll on June 2011!!!
