Real Couples Wedding Regrets & Top Tips

The awards is split into North and South, celebrating the best wedding suppliers in both of these areas and recognising all the hard work they do.

We were absolutely thrilled to be nominated for ‘Best Wedding Planner’ at The English Wedding Awards this year, having also been nominated in previous years. We’ve always loved attending the event, as it’s a wonderful chance to network with other talented people in the industry. There are tons of people from all kinds of businesses, including wedding planners, coordinators, specialists, caterers, photographers, videographers, florists and stationary suppliers.

Hundreds of people attended the event at the Manchester Marriott Victoria and Albert Hotel in a wonderful ceremony that was enjoyed by all. It was presented by Tabitha Hunter-Smale and this year, the awards were fundraising for the Make a Wish Foundation.

We were super nervous before the ceremony, and convinced, as always, that we wouldn’t quite hitch the big prize. But to our surprise, we won!

Bouquet and Bells was announced ‘Best Wedding Planner’ in the North for 2019.

This is such a huge achievement and really makes us feel like all our hard work has paid off. It’s so nice to be recognised for what we do.

Bouquet and Bells has been organising wedding fayres across the North West and North Wales for over three years now. We started off with a couple of fayres and are now organising around 20 per year, from Shropshire to Merseyside, Cheshire to Flintshire. We’ve got some of our most exciting fayres coming up this year, including a wedding fayre at Chester Cathedral. We’re super thrilled to be doing as it’s their first EVER Wedding Fayre.

An Alternative Church Wedding with Unique Outfits

This shoot was inspired wholly by the vastness and beauty of the venue as well as the unitarians inspiring ethos: Ullet Road Unitarian Church. We chose a beautiful day for the shoot, meaning the light flooding into the building and outside of the building was beautiful. We had a selection of dresses to change into for different parts of the church, and we utilised the late in different rooms and at different windows, as well as the doors for the iconic confetti shots.
