I’m a romantic at heart who loves nothing more than a Nicolas Sparks film whilst munching away on Popchips under my duvet with my husband G. Aside from my Popchips addiction (sour cream and onion if you were wondering) and being a mama of two boys, I am lit up by helping couples get hitched.
Day in day out since 2010 I’ve been inspiring thousands (if not millions) of couples through this site and hey, you’re here on it now too. Woo!
The WWW community are believers in your wedding experience being more than about just one day. It starts at your engagement all the way to your honeymoon. This is what makes up the tapestry of your wedding memories. I’m committed to making that as enjoyable as possible for you.
It’s time to live your dream wedding experience in total confidence. So join this Hufflepuff, colour-loving, caravanning, eclectic and friendly soul (AKA yours truly) and let’s get you wed… in happy style.
Whimsical Wonderland Weddings brings wedding ideas and advice to modern, creative couples planning the wedding of their wildest imaginations.
If you’re bored of seeing the same advice or ideas, conveyor-belt weddings, stressful family politics, unwanted opinions, or organisational chaos: fret no more, you’re in the exact right space. I’m here to take you from feeling *meh* about wedmin to shouting from the rooftops, *yeah* about your wedding plans.
Whimsical Wonderland Weddings is all about sweating the small stuff no more — it’s about focusing on the bigger picture. Prioritising the experience, memories and magical atmosphere from your day over matchy-matchy napkins, icky colour themes and stuffy boring traditions that don’t work for you. Say no to the package wedding.
Instead say yes to your personality, caring about the world around you, zero drama and all the fun. It’s time to discover that you don’t have to have what everyone else has had, you make up your own wedding rules and wear them with sass. I love nothing more than transforming couples as if by magic from experiencing wedmin nightmares to creating the calm, exciting and personality-driven wedding experience of their wildest dreams.
Let's Pour A Cuppa ☕️
You see, back in April 2010 I was on maternity leave from a part-time cleaning job, having graduated two years previously from my local university with a Marketing degree.
I wasn’t on the career path I’d hoped, due to crippling anxiety and agoraphobia. However, I had a beautiful 6-month-old baby boy and my wonderful fiancé G by my side. We’d been engaged for just shy of two years and we decided to start planning a wedding on a teeny budget.
Being what felt like trapped indoors, I turned to the internet of course! I found a whole online community of really lovely planning couples and starting discovering remarkable suppliers. I became hooked by the wedding industry, the friends I was making and the emergence of online blogging.
So I decided to start journalling my own wedding plans for fun. Little did I know, this single decision would bring me confidence, independence and a sense of belonging. Finally 🥳
After featuring wedding stories from other couples, WWW grew into a resource followed by couples and suppliers around the world.
Heartbreakingly though we decided to cancel our wedding 6 weeks beforehand due to my worsening anxiety, but I could not bear to say goodbye to Whimsical Wonderland Weddings and the community I had established.
So I continued in my quest to assist and inspire other couples and to promote the amazing UK wedding industry.
It’s my mission to ensure that no other couple experiences the anxiety or stress that I did during wedding planning, to ensure their dream wedding experience is a reality by sharing all my insider advice, real, authentic stories and hooking up couples with lovely suppliers.
BTW I Believe In...
