I went to not one but two wedding fairs today! As part of my training I had to visit a wedding fair. First up was Birmingham Botanical Gardens, a stunning setting in the heart of Brum. I met and chatted with some lovely suppliers and it was great to see how it all works.

For my second wedding fair of the day, I headed to Hanbury Wedding Barn, an absolutely beautiful venue in rural Staffordshire. Met some more lovely suppliers and had a nice chat with the venue staff. It's an absolutely stunning location, and I LOVE the camping pods!

Had a lovely makeover with NicolaHoneyArtistry earlier this week, for a photoshoot with top local photographer Pete Bradbury for my website. Nicola did a great job and made me look and feel fabulous!

Training complete! I had a brilliant week with this wonderful bunch of women and the fantastic team from Civil Ceremonies and Fab Ceremonies . Can't wait to get started now!

I'm having a wonderful time in Cornwall, dogsitting near Falmouth. Love it down here!

As it's #ALevelResultsDay, I thought I'd share some academic news of my own. Since January I've been studying a Level 3 Diploma (equivalent to an A level) in Celebrancy for Couples and Naming Ceremonies. Long story short: I'VE PASSED! 🥳🎉 Can't wait to.get started!

I had a lovely morning on Saturday exploring the woodland wonderland at Enchanted Woodland Weddings, based at Umberslade Adventure near Earlswood. A really beautiful, magical location. #Woodlandweddings #outdoorweddings #midlandsweddings #WestMidlandsWeddings
