My services are entirely bespoke and as individual as the couples I work with, designed to bring their vision to life. Whether you’re the type who wants to do it all or a procrastinator hoping that somehow your wedding day will magically turn out exactly as you envisioned, I have different packages that will help you move with the planning so that you can relax and enjoy the process.
When you decide to work with me using my full event planning support, I will plan, direct, project manage and deliver your event, together with only the best event suppliers.
Once we have discussed your brief and requirements, I will begin the event planning process by composing a budget breakdown, along with an event planning timeline, guide running order and the all important event planning checklists – making it easy for you to follow along, if you wish.
From here we can either work with a venue that you have already chosen or I can undertake the venue research and liaison for you, whereby I will only suggest those that feel right for your brief, vibe and occasion.
Once the location is set, I will research and shortlist all of the remaining suppliers, including the finest food and drink, entertainment, production, lighting, staging, guest transport, flowers as well as graphic design, décor, hire and all of the smaller details in between. I will direct each supplier personally and manage negotiations and the handling of contracts on your behalf. No matter your brief or budget, every visual element will be designed and styled with the greatest care and attention to detail.
– Recommended wedding planning lead times are 6-9 months.
To get started with my Design & Styling service, we will meet in person or via video call, where I will guide you through a carefully composed list of questions that help me get a deeper understanding about who you are.
After this time together, I will go away and ‘feel into’ your answers to these questions and your overall wishes, to develop a design concept that reflects you and your sensibilities in the most genuine way.
Once I am happy and have checked all ideas against your budget, we will meet again for the presentation of the design concept, which is usually around 4 weeks after our design consultation meeting.
The design concept defines the creative direction and will give you a detailed idea of how your event will look and feel – including a colour palette, textures, flowers, fonts, paper and lighting and of course the overall aesthetics, as well as suggestions for vendors who can bring your vision to life.
If you feel that you need support with more than the Design & Styling of your wedding, please have a look at my Full Planning service instead.
– Recommended wedding design lead times for Lebanon based weddings are 3-6 months and 6-9 months for destination weddings, depending on complexity.
This service is perfect for couples who have meticulously planned their big day and need someone to execute their ideas, we are there for you! After confirming our services, I start off with a consultation up to three months prior to the wedding day to have a better understanding of your needs. I will then craft a detailed schedule for you, handle any last minute requests, conduct your ceremony rehearsal and be there on the day so that you can truly relax and enjoy every moment with your family and friends.
