It's been a busy week that began with Magic Dust being quoted, not once, but twice, in a 'Wedding Ideas' magazine feature about venue decoration and culminated in a bumper week for 'On The Day' co-ordination bookings. We're certainly looking forward to putting our feet up tomorrow and recharging the batteries before it all starts again on Monday!

There are few things more rewarding than the first conversation we have with prospective new clients. Whether they're newly-engaged and need help kick-starting their wedding planning, or are nearing the end of the planning journey and are looking for someone they can trust to ensure that all their hard work doesn't go to waste on the wedding day itself, every chat reveals what it is that makes our job such a pleasurable one.

If I had a pound for every time one of these conversations ends with, "I feel so much better having spoken to you", or "I feel like I can relax and look forward to our wedding day now that you're on board", I would be writing this blog from my private villa in The Bahamas!

The only feeling better than that is knowing that every single one of the services we offer is designed with the couple getting married in mind, and that it is this, coupled with a passion for fantastic customer service, that ensures the feedback we get after the wedding day is even better! One of my personal favourites - so much so that it brought a tear to my eye - was Sarah & Ben's comment that they "don't know how anyone gets married without Magic Dust'!

I'm sure you can imagine how much I've enjoyed this week, with all the new couples it has brought our way.

Whilst flicking through 'Wedding Ideas' earlier this week, I happened across a bridesmaid dress that literally stopped me in my tracks. Believe me, this doesn't happen as often as it should! But, I have to agree with the editorial team at 'Wedding Ideas' who have confessed to loving Dessy. Check out Style 2762 - the 'name' really doesn't do it justice - and see if you agree with me. The colour, the shape, the length, the accessories, I just can't fault it. The wearability factor is an added bonus as this is exactly the type of dress that could be worn again and again.

All I need is for someone to ask me to be their bridesmaid and I can tell them the dress is already sorted!!!

And finally, we launched Magic Dust's search for the most ingenious wedding planning tip in our newsletter this week. We invite you to send in the tips that have proved invaluable to you and in return, we'll publish a selection of them on our website and the person who sends in our favourite tip will win a bottle of Clarins delicious 'Eau Dynamisante' perfume in a handy handbag-sized bottle.

If you would like to talk to me about how we can kick-start your wedding plans and help you enjoy the planning of your wedding, please get in touch. We'll happily chat to you, with no obligations, about our services and if we leave you feeling confident and capable of planning the day of your dreams (not anyone else's), that is our reward!

Until next week,
