Investing in a wedding planner and stylist is a decision most couples discuss at length, weighing up the pros and cons and the value they place on hiring a true professional, eliminating stress, having more time, and actually, in the long run, saving money! We enlisted the help of expert-in-all-things-wedding Emily, from In Awe Weddings and Events, to explain some of the benefits of taking the plunge.

Looking for an edgy vibe for your wedding day? This shoot shouts all things cool and modern. With its bold colours and structured florals, it totally compliments the industrial vibes of venue, Shack Revolution, to a tee.

Curated by Ruby at Love Birds Weddings and Events, the styling screams modern boho with its neutral colour palette and beautiful mix of fresh and dried blooms.
