We’re looking back on an amazing year of real weddings, editorial photoshoots and glorious prettiness on the English Wedding Blog. We’ve shared features with so many amazing suppliers, I wanted to introduce you to some of our favourites today – and where better to begin than with the folks who turn dreams into reality? It takes a huge amount of talent and skill to be a wedding stylist and planner: these guys have an eye for beautiful design and a head for figures, logistics and calm reassurance. I take my hat off to every single one of these wonderful planners – and I would recommend them to any couple looking for a little extra help with any aspect of wedding planning.

In no particular order, my top 20 recommended wedding planners and stylists for your English wedding are…

Niemierko is the event and wedding planning company of choice for a savvy, sophisticated and stylish clientele.

Mark’s approach centres around getting to know his couples personally so that he and his team of Niemierko hosts can deliver a day that is entirely unique and tailored to the individuals.

When choosing this option, Mel will be with you throughout the planning process and every step of the way. The partial planning package is for couples that have made a good start, but need help in certain areas. For example, you may have your dream venue and caterer, but need help to source additional suppliers such as a florist and entertainment. If you have your wedding all planned but are in need of a professional to oversee the day itself so that you can relax and simply enjoy, then Your Story Events’ on-the-day coordination package is for you.

Willow & Rust

Willow and Rust Weddings specialise in planning and styling beautiful sustainable outdoor events and don’t believe that just because you want an eco-conscious day you should have to compromise on the details.

Outdoor weddings are already more eco-friendly than traditional venues due to their very nature. But Willow & Rust’s lovely Sam also works with a great selection of suppliers who focus on sustainability and reducing the environmental impact your wedding will have. There are so many small things you can do when planning that have a big impact on the carbon footprint of your day, and Sam knows that this is becoming more and more important to couples when planning their weddings.

“I understand that outdoor (or dry hire) weddings are harder and more complicated to plan. There are a lot more things to think about when your venue potentially has no toilets and no electricity! But they are also the most exciting type of wedding to plan, as the canvas is blank, you can rewrite the rule book, make your own traditions and have the day you have always wanted.

So whether you want a Tipi, Barn, a Field or Woodland or any other outdoor space I would love to help!”
