<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>The British Weather</b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We all know that you can't rely on a British summer but rain isn't the only problem. Extremely hot weather can be hazardous too and snowy winter weddings can mean guests have trouble reaching remote venues.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
For summer weddings it's essential to have a wet weather plan to fall back on. Make sure there is an indoor space available for all parts of the day and that you have plenty of big umbrellas on hand even if the forecast is dry. They can also make great parasols if it's very hot.<br />
<br />
If you'd love a fabulous outdoor ceremony like <a href="http://www.jam-factory.com/strangephotos" target="_blank">Jane and Gavin</a> then always have a back up venue inside, just in case, as cold wet and miserable guests don't create a fun wedding atmosphere.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYfS_WHVkgbE36fSVKrhVyS9gIS7jTxthujXmOyyv00T9hQENBQYWHvEQR4qFLEtnCmuyvTzjM9ozFHuXay-RKy46JnSPg_q2_TPFBSwO6l8wMdS8Yd7RcEaWK2__A9xDB85ebQyecKWJd/s1600/gav+and+jane+14.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYfS_WHVkgbE36fSVKrhVyS9gIS7jTxthujXmOyyv00T9hQENBQYWHvEQR4qFLEtnCmuyvTzjM9ozFHuXay-RKy46JnSPg_q2_TPFBSwO6l8wMdS8Yd7RcEaWK2__A9xDB85ebQyecKWJd/s320/gav+and+jane+14.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Try to provide shade if you're having drinks outside during the hottest part if the day and it's handy to have sun cream and bite cream available for guests just in case. I've seen lots of bridesmaids in strapless dresses end up with sunburnt shoulders.<br />
<br />
If you're having a marquee then ensure it's watertight with plastic under the flooring and ideally wooden flooring on top. Make sure any walkways are carpeted and covered too if possible to keep guests dry and to avoid traipsing muddy feet into the tent. It's also worth checking if your venue is prone to flooding as this could spell disaster with long periods of heavy rainfall.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
For winter weddings make sure your venue is easily accessible if it snows or the roads are extremely icy. Ask them if they have grit on site or what they do to ensure guests are safe if there are hazardous icy conditions. Check if access roads to the venue fall under council control as private lanes or tiny B roads are rarely cleared or gritted.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Health & Hygiene</b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It's great to have some supplies on hand for guests or the bridal party particularly in a remote venue away from shops. My emergency box contains a small first aid kit, blister plasters, pain killers, feminine hygiene products, mints, tissues, deodorant, hair spray, shoe laces, tweezers, scissors and much more. I have handed lots of items out to guests in need and seen many broken zips and dresses so safety pins are a must too. Batteries are always a good idea and I've used them for cameras, fairy lights and for a guest's crucial insulin pump.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Confused Guests</b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
At a few weddings I've coordinated the day has been held up by guests getting lost on the way to a venue and at one wedding two taxis took guests to the village of Wick instead of Wick Farm.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Avoid confusion by giving your guests as much information as possible in advance such as maps, sat nav postcodes and providing them contact details for the best man or usher if they get lost. Try to avoid long periods where the guests are hanging around unsure what's happening or when they'll be fed. No one wants bored or hangry guests!<br />
<br />
It's also good to provide lists of hotels and taxi numbers for those who don't live locally or if the budget allows, arrange a mini bus or people carrier to shuttle guests back to their hotels.<br />
<br />
A running order of the day also helps guests know what to expect and helps to keep the day running smoothly.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Missing Items</b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
There's been a few occasions when setting out place cards that you find one is missing. To avoid this problem sort them into tables and seal them in order into envelopes with the table name or number written on. This also makes setting out the place cards really fast and easy.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
If you've hand written them it useful to give the pen and a few spare place cards to whoever is setting up the tables just in case.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Make sure to double check you've packed everything for the tables and label decor boxes clearly with where it should be placed.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Spills & Stains</b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This does happen and fairly often! If you spill something on your wedding dress try to scrape it off with a knife if it's solid or if it's liquid try to absorb as much as possible with tissue first before wetting or rubbing. Baby wipes are great for quick stain removal or you can buy stain removal wipes in most supermarkets. White chalk is a great way to disguise stains on a white wedding dress.</div>
<div>
<b></b><br /></div>
<div>
<b>Missing Suppliers</b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Most wedding suppliers are super reliable and will deliver what they've promised on the day but it's still a good idea to confirm arrival times and venue details before the wedding. Make sure there is a list of all suppliers and you have a mobile number for each in case you need to reach them on the wedding day. Give this list to the best man along with a list of key timings for the day.<br />
<br />
If you need someone on hand to contingency plan or deal with any emergencies, my On the Day Wedding Coordination service is ideal. Visit my <a href="http://www.sweetandpretty.co.uk/" target="_blank">weding planning website</a> to find out more.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I hope that's helpful.<br />

Bristol Wedding Newshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07873015804682459607noreply@blogger.com30tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280524835166939363.post-34562388856927538952014-09-07T13:56:00.001+01:002016-02-05T14:11:48.102+00:00Essential Qualities For a Wedding Planner<span style="font-family: inherit;">I get so many enquiries from people of all ages and backgrounds who want to get into wedding and event planning.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It's got me thinking about the essential qualities you need to succeed as a wedding planner. It's not an easy job and not particularly glamorous, like many people believe it to be. However getting to play such a key role in something as amazing as a wedding can make it the feel like the best job in the world.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Physical Strength</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Unless you have a huge crew to help you it's pretty likely you will be setting up weddings by yourself and sometimes clearing up after too. This involves a lot of lugging boxes, carrying heavy chairs and trestle tables, bending, lifting, stretching, climbing ladders and the ability to stand for 12 to </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">15 hours. Transforming this empty tent into the image below took many hours of hard work but the results were so worth it! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Emotional Stength</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Weddings can be emotional and so can running a wedding planning business. You have to be strong willed and motivated to succeed. No one will hand you success on a plate. You need to go out and work hard gaining experience, networking and developing your brand. Knock backs are hard to take but success will have you soaring on cloud nine! </span></div>
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZAF-o4nqrkqTnl_S4zLJ9gkk21HhpBY3OlAXFTGv_R5d3nbwzBXGLuhfSret8DLLnrRJ3yS9AFXpMoD7wasoqsE5Soi_Q_WqH9VmkWOKZ81hSGM1CxKW4Pttr_64ZdlN2rEslvOvWFmZh/s640/blogger-image-1799971305.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZAF-o4nqrkqTnl_S4zLJ9gkk21HhpBY3OlAXFTGv_R5d3nbwzBXGLuhfSret8DLLnrRJ3yS9AFXpMoD7wasoqsE5Soi_Q_WqH9VmkWOKZ81hSGM1CxKW4Pttr_64ZdlN2rEslvOvWFmZh/s640/blogger-image-1799971305.jpg" /></a></span></div>
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">People Skills</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Not only do you need to provide an excellent service to your couples, but you also need to get suppliers on board and liaise with venues to create your vision. You'll also be on hand to assist guests and respond to their requests on the day. You need to do all of this with a smile even on long and stressful days.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Creativity</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">If you want to be involved in designing weddings you need to be creative and have a good eye for trends and understand how to make a wedding look amazing. You may be able to work with a stylist to help with this, but being able to put together a styled shoot or design a beautiful cohesive theme is a key skill.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Diplomacy</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Often you might need to be the peace keeper or negotiator during the planning process. You need to keep everyone on side from the couple to family members and other suppliers. This can be tricky if there's lots of strong opinions involved.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Business Minded</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">As a wedding planner you will be running a business from home. You need to become an expert in social media, marketing, accounting, admin, invoicing and business planning. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3HBBfH9M8Gh2e-24cmcbplpDuf9ykg_2GGS1zdmmiUa8ZILXlTQn6zIT782_jtnu0XIVp19-h-3F62q9DexbfQJ4ymHiw2TDf3f64k8eV7iWst47GGuYH7Ah14CoMaLIS3Qz8i89DF1RE/s640/blogger-image-311531262.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3HBBfH9M8Gh2e-24cmcbplpDuf9ykg_2GGS1zdmmiUa8ZILXlTQn6zIT782_jtnu0XIVp19-h-3F62q9DexbfQJ4ymHiw2TDf3f64k8eV7iWst47GGuYH7Ah14CoMaLIS3Qz8i89DF1RE/s640/blogger-image-311531262.jpg" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Organisation</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Not only will you be organising wedding but you will have heaps of admin to keep on top of as well as scheduling client meetings, liaising with suppliers and remembering lots of small details. If you don't love lists and spreadsheets then this might not be the right career path. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Flexibility</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">You will need to be flexible and quick thinking to deal with any issues that arise. You may end up working longer than you planned or changing things on the day that don't work but you have to have an open mind and lots of contingencies in place.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I hope that's useful, Steph x</span><br />

Well it's almost the first anniversary of Sweet & Pretty launching and what a fantastic year it's been.I thought I'd share a little recap of the highlights of my year as a <a href="http://www.sweetandpretty.co.uk/bristolweddingplanner" target="_blank">Bristol Wedding Planner</a>.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I've had the opportunity to be involved in 23 amazing weddings and events and my diary for 2014 already has over 20 entries so it looks like 2014 is going to be even busier.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I started off by launching my new brand and products at the fabulous Bristol Vintage Wedding Fair. My <a href="http://www.sweetandpretty.co.uk/#/sweetie-jam-jars/4570831991" target="_blank">jam jar wedding favours</a> proved an immediate hit and have graced many weddings since.</div>

<br /></div>
<div>
<a href="http://www.sweetandpretty.co.uk/#/scrummy-candy-buffets/4569861682" target="_blank">Candy buffets</a> have also been popular this year proving they're a trend that's set to stay. Here's a look a some of my work. I think this year I've really honed my signature style and tried to set my sweet tables apart as offering something a bit different for the style conscious couples.</div>

It's also been fantastic to focus more on <a href="http://www.sweetandpretty.co.uk/#/bristol-wedding-planner/4571307126" target="_blank">wedding coordination and planning</a> this year. I've been lucky enough to work as a freelance wedding coordinator at two unique Bristol wedding venues.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The first is <a href="http://www.stgeorgesbristol.co.uk/venue-hire/details/" target="_blank">St George's Bristol</a>, an amazing music venue just off Park Street with gorgeous grounds, a stunning hall and its own underground crypt bar. It's been a pleasure working with the couples who had their receptions there and the team at St George's. </div>

The other venue is the seemingly unusual wedding venue <a href="http://www.arnosvale.org.uk/weddings" target="_blank">Arnos Vale Cemetery</a>. If you've not thought about getting married in a cemetery (I wouldn't blame you!) then you'd be amazed quite how beautiful and serene Arnos Vale is. </div>

After working at several weddings there I have to say I was a little unsure if it would feel spooky or strange but it honestly doesn't. It really is stunning with the historic Anglican Chapel and Spielman Centre. You also now have the opportunity to marry legally outdoors in a woodland setting at the new Underwood Centre. I'm looking forward to my first woodland wedding soon.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I've also been busy with on the day wedding coordination at some fantastic venues.</div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This year I have seen a lot of DIY vintage inspired weddings with couples stretching their budgets and going for a relaxed vibe with long tables, family sharing platters and a lot of bake off style cake tables in place of traditional desserts.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I'm predicting a little more glamour and sparkle for 2014 with sequins, chandeliers, big floral displays and candle light leading the trends.Here's what I think will be big in 2014....</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Back to the Ballroom</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It seems a lot of high end weddings are taking place in grand ballrooms in luxurious hotels or stately homes bringing back the traditional venue in place of this years rustic barn wedding. Ballrooms are being fully draped and beautifully lit to create a bespoke space for couples.<br />
<br />
<img alt="Colors are good for the engagement party. I really like these chair covers because they're original... Not stupid covers with the bows everyone has." height="400" src="http://media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/9b/e2/b4/9be2b4f0b4db159ffec2d47c8ac9559c.jpg" width="337" /><br />
<a href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/27866091418288147/" target="_blank">Credit</a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Large Centrepieces</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
If you have a big space to fill, then this trend will suit if perfectly. Large candelabras, blossom trees, balls of roses, anything goes as long as its high and mighty. This look calls for a big flower budget but its so striking you don't need to do much else to the room other than maybe adding some tea lights or small groups of flowers at the base.<br />
<br />
<img alt="large luxe wedding centerpiece | Photo by Alante Photography" height="400" src="http://media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com/736x/c0/80/dd/c080dd2f4a52ffc60bec6bf5a0a444a6.jpg" width="266" /><br />

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Chandeliers</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Nothing epitomises glamour and luxury better than a huge chandelier. Hang them outdoors from trees or from the roof of your marquee. They can be added to any space to give the high luxe feel that's huge in the US right now.<br />
<br />
<img alt="the haute look on WeClickd" height="400" src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/weclickd/images/50a0412f80c53_9.jpg" width="265" /><br />
<a href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/27866091418586833/" target="_blank">Credit</a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Tables That Wow!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Most British weddings usually feature round tables with white linen but I predict that US trends will rub off more with sequinned cloths, textured and coloured linens becoming easier to hire. You can now hire gorgeous sequinned linens from Pudding Bridge and The Little Wedding Helper. Find out more <a href="http://puddingbridge.co.uk/sequin-table-linen/" target="_blank">here</a><br />
<br /></div>
<div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com/736x/fe/65/03/fe65033f00ee2fb6214149dd52244178.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Introducing The Sequin Collection, simply stunning sequin linen hire here in the UK! Sequin tablecloths, overlays and runners. http://puddingbridge.co.uk/sequin-table-linen/ #sequin #tablecloth #runner #glitter #wedding" border="0" height="400" src="http://media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com/736x/fe/65/03/fe65033f00ee2fb6214149dd52244178.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I also think oval and square tables will give a different feel to the long tables so popular in 2013. Mirrored or glass topped tables have also featured heavily in the luxury wedding market.<br />
<br />
Candle Light </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Do you remember when floating candles first appeared? I bet you had some floating somewhere in a bowl in the 90s? Well guess what, they're back and bang on trend just as long as you put them in a cylinder vase.<br />
<br />
<img alt="maybe this situation on the window sill for the alter? LOTS of candles in vases with a white flower incorporated." height="400" src="http://media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/28/62/85/2862854a8698484127e4362ceca700c5.jpg" width="266" /><br />
<a href="http://www.caplanmiller.com/blog/2011/12/07/december-to-remember-modern-meets-traditional/" target="_blank">Credit</a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Globe tea light holders are also huge right now seen hanging from trees and flowering branch centrepieces. Candelabras, lanterns and tea lights will also be twinkling away at a wedding near you.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So what will be featuring in your wedding next year. I'd love to hear so please leave a comment.</div>

<br />
<br />
<img alt="FTP-Anglican-Reception-2" src="http://www.arnosvale.org.uk/images/stories/wedding/FTP-Anglican-Reception-2.jpg" /><br />
<br />
Steeped in local history and with two stunning locations for civil ceremonies and Anglican ceremonies, there is lots of choice and flexibility. The Spielman Centre can hosts civil ceremonies and receptions and the attached cafe and terrace makes a great chill out area and bar for your guests.<br />
<br />
<br />
<img alt="FTP-Anglican-Cake-and-Bride" src="http://www.arnosvale.org.uk/images/stories/wedding/FTP-Anglican-Cake-and-Bride.jpg" /><br />
<br />
The Anglican Chapel can host wedding ceremonies as well as offer space for a sit down meal if you marry in the Spielman Centre. The chapel is neutral and a real blank canvas for you to decorate.<br />
<br />
<br />
<img alt="1058-017A3" height="239" src="http://www.arnosvale.org.uk/images/stories/1058-017A3.jpg" width="320" /><br />
<br />
The food is provided by Whisk! who cater exclusively for all weddings and offer a wide choice of food from bangers and mash to buffets, tagines and curries.<br />
<br />
<img alt="FrancesTaylorPhotography ArnosVale002" height="212" src="http://www.arnosvale.org.uk/images/stories/wedding/FrancesTaylorPhotography_ArnosVale002.jpg" width="320" /><br />
<br />
The cemetery really is a fascinating place and has a very calm and serene atmosphere rather than feeling cold or sombre. It really suits weddings and as you enter the Chapel it's really no different to walking through a graveyard for a church wedding.<br />
<br />
If you are looking for a unique historical wedding venue, then make sure to have a look around and make up your own mind. I think you'll fall in love and if you do marry there you'll support the work to restore and maintain an important part of Bristol's heritage.

As well as lots of candy buffets and jam jar wedding favours, my on the day wedding coordination service has been very popular and I'm, getting lots of bookings through for 2014 too.<br />
<br />
Many couples initially rule out a wedding planner as an American fad or something only celebrities use. However in reality a wedding planner is perfect for both those planning huge expensive weddings and those planning low cost DIY ones.<br />

<br />
<br />
If you're planning a DIY wedding, you may have chosen somewhere like a village hall with a reasonable hire charge to hold your wedding. This means there's no dedicated wedding coordinator to manage all of the suppliers you have booked and no-one to decorate your venue and make sure things run smoothly.<br />
<br />
On the Day Coordination also suits those with busy lives, who don't want to spend the last six weeks before the wedding running around contacting suppliers, finalising details and staying up late decorating the venue the night before.<br />
<br />
On the day wedding coordination starts from £350 and includes<br />
<br />

Busy wedding season is well under way meaning more time spent working on weddings rather than blogging about them. Whilst I have been busy the blog has reached over 100,000 page views which is fantastic news. Thanks to everyone who has read and supported the blog since it started.<br />
<br />
I just wanted to share a gorgeous candy buffet I did in Romsey, Southampton this weekend. I was working alongside <a href="http://www.littleweddinghelper.co.uk/" target="_blank">The Little Wedding Helper</a> who styled the cocktail marquee for Nirisha and Suchin's Asian Wedding. It's the biggest wedding I have ever been involved with with over 470 guests. Nirisha wanted a very vintage feel with lots of pretty lace, soft pastels and vintage props.<br />

Originally a church built in the Greek Revival Style in the early 19th Century, St George's Church lost popularity and was saved in the 70s by the St George's Music Trust.<br />

Today it flourishes as a thriving music venue hosting concerts and events. It also lends itself beautifully to weddings due to the large hall (the former church) which can seat up to 200 for a sit down meal. The stone walled crypt offers a fantastic art filled bar and if the weather permits guests can be greeted with drinks and canapes in the gorgeous grounds that surround the building.<br />

<br />
The food is provided by Goldbrick House who offer a wide choice of catering options and from 2014 there will be even more choice for couples. Drinks are provided in house with the bar offering a wide choice of options as well as a pop up bar in the hall.<br />
<br />
There are lots of hidden treasures in the hall and the grounds. A star in the ceiling marks where a world war two bomb crashed through the roof onto the alter and luckily did not explode and the grounds are full of hidden plaques and benches depicting poetic inscriptions inspired by music.<br />

I watched it yesterday and though it's had mixed reviews from critics there's no denying the styling, glamour and decadence make it worth a watch.<br />

It works beautifully outdoors but you can also use it to brings the outdoors inside by hiring trees wrapped with twinkling fairy lights and using lanterns, moss, flowers and props to bring it all to life.<br />
<br />
For inspiration for this look think of Bella and Edward's Wedding in Twilight or of flower fairies and grottos. How about this <a href="http://www.marthastewartweddings.com/270255/dessert-tables-real-weddings/@center/272446/real-weddings#/130645" target="_blank">gorgeous dessert table</a> from Martha Stewart or the table styling by <a href="http://flowerwildevents.blogspot.co.uk/search?updated-max=2010-08-24T23:35:00-07:00&max-results=10" target="_blank">Flower Wild Events</a><br />

<br />
For ceremony inspiration this gorgeous shoot featured on <a href="http://greenweddingshoes.com/whimsical-bohemian-wedding-inspiration/" target="_blank">Green Wedding Shoes</a> shows a stunning wisteria canopy that would make any venue look beautiful.<br />
<br />
<img alt="hanging trees wedding ceremony canopy" height="265" src="http://cdn.greenweddingshoes.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/threenails-wedding-01.jpg" width="400" /><br />
<br />
Lighting is very important for an enchanted forest it needs to be twinkly and pretty. Candle light, festoon lighting, lanterns and jam jars all work beautifully a shown directly <a href="http://www.lilacandgrey.com/" target="_blank">below</a>. A start light canopy or backdrop also enhances the theme and green up-lighters would work well to create the forest like glow. Pretty candles and moss green ribbon keep the theme elegant as shown on the <a href="http://daughterofdesign.blogspot.co.uk/2009/02/renee-and-amir-park-restaurant-new-york.html" target="_blank">table below.</a><br />
<br />

<br />
This theme makes me think of a Midsummer Nights Dream and these <a href="http://swashbuckletheaisle.blogspot.co.uk/2011/04/enchanted-forest-themed-wedding.html" target="_blank">adorable fairy jars</a> really capture the romance and whimsical nature. This would be a fun and easy DIY project with some led fairy lights, jam jars and craft moss.<br />

Local businessman Norman is currently lovingly restoring the building as his home and as a top wedding venue.<br />
<div><br />
</div><div> <img src="http://c1038.r38.cf3.rackcdn.com/group2/building10589/media/042p66q.jpg" height="320" width="400" /><br />
<div><br />
</div><div>Kings Weston House is a Grade 1 listed building which was designed in the early 18th Century by Sir John Vanbrugh, the same architect who designed the stately Blenheim Palace. It has some unique features such as a hanging staircase and the antlers of a now extinct Irish Elk as well as extensive grounds.</div><div><br />
</div><div>The weddings will be coordinated by Michele Jetzer who won the Best Wedding Coordinator at a Venue award at the Wedding Industry Awards this year for the second year running.<br />
<br />
The grand opening of the venue will be marked with a wedding fair on Saturday 7th September from 11am to 3pm with the venues approved suppliers exhibiting. Weddings will be taking place at the venue from September and you can view it now but Michelle says you may need to "use your imagination" as there is currently work taking place.<br />

"The show will appeal not only to brides out there looking for something really different, but to quirky couples who want to dress up, have a cocktail or two, listen to local bands, dance or chill out, whilst surrounded by the weirdest and most wonderful wedding suppliers on one floor, making it a great night out. <br />
<br />
You can enjoy a fashion show under the stars in the Planetarium, watch jugglers, close-up magicians and living statues and, when your man gets tired, send him off to the ‘man creche’ to play on all the interactive science centre exhibits (and, of course, you can have a play too!)."<br />

Emily says: “Although we both love vintage, there are some amazing alternatives, all standing out from the crowd in their own unique way. Couples clearly want to start adding a splash of colour and coolness to stamp their personal style on their big day – and this is the place to find those touches. It doesn’t have to be virgin white all the way you know - it’s your big day, after all, and really should reflect your personality!”<br />
