If you’re a regular reader of this blog you will know that, at Magic Dust, we are big believers in personalising your wedding celebrations with your personalities rather than your bank accounts. So we just love it when we work with couples who have taken this philosophy to heart!

Yesterday, the results of over a year’s planning came to fruition for Helen & Peter, on a beautifully sunny day in Brighton. The attention to detail, love and care that they sank into every single aspect of their wedding celebration was a joy to witness and it was a real honour to provide On The Day co-ordination for this lovely couple.

The personal touches were everywhere, from choosing Brighton for their wedding as it was somewhere special to them as a couple, to the stunning ‘tree’ table plan handmade by Helen to perfectly complement the place name cards, table names and menu cards that she had obviously spent hours designing and making, and which looked more professional than some professional ones I’ve seen!

It’s impossible to pinpoint an absolute favourite part of the day so I’m going to share 2 with you! The heart-felt wedding vows that left not a dry eye in the house – thank goodness for waterproof mascara – and the groom’s speech that was an unexpected but utterly brilliant ode to his new wife, will stay with me for a very long time.

Catching up with Helen after the wedding breakfast, she smiled as she told me how lovely it was that her guests were telling her how relaxed they were, and how much they were enjoying every minute of the day. And that’s the real, and unavoidable, benefit of infusing your wedding celebration with your personalities – guests immediately relax because they recognise the couple whose wedding they have been invited to in every aspect of the event, and consequently the whole day takes on a relaxed and joyous air that, if it could be bottled, would be worth an absolute fortune!

Helen & Peter, I’d like to thank you for choosing to work with Magic Dust and to wish you a long, happy and healthy marriage – you most definitely deserve it.

Until next time
