What Wedding Planning In Spring means to me 🌱🌈🌺

Over the years, I’ve come to realize that January just isn’t my time for resolutions or big goal-setting. I’m still in full hibernation mode, and while I start thinking about plans for the year ahead—both business and personal—I really struggle to implement anything. But when March and April roll around? That’s when I come alive. Spring feels like the perfect time to breathe fresh energy into things, reflect on where I’m headed, and actually start making changes.

So, even though we’re heading toward the end of the first quarter of 2025, this feels like the moment for me to set things in motion. And I’m so excited because this marks the fourth year of Grace In Spring Weddings! Even better? I was lucky enough to win a rebranding strategy with Charlotte Simonsen, and in the next few weeks, I’ll be unveiling my refreshed brand—complete with a new logo, a refined tone of voice, and possibly even a website revamp.

As part of this shift, I’m also streamlining my services. From 2026 onwards, I’ll be phasing out styling, design, wedding setup, and décor hire to focus on what truly lights me up: wedding planning and coordination. Over the years, I’ve found that when I take on styling alongside planning, it dilutes what I love most. And since I’m still a one-woman show (with the help of some amazing freelance assistants), I want to pour my energy into what I do best—creating stress-free, joy-filled wedding experiences for my couples.

That said, I still love beautiful styling! I’ll be working closely with some incredible venue dressers and wedding stylists who specialize in bringing those dreamy setups to life. They’re absolute pros, and I can’t wait to collaborate with them even more.

Beyond weddings, I also want to focus on community and connection. Not just through wedding fairs but through networking events, coffee meetups, and spaces where wedding vendors—especially those in the creative, alternative scene in Manchester—can come together. I love meeting new suppliers and strengthening relationships with the ones I already adore, and I want to help create a welcoming space for all of us to connect, collaborate, and hype each other up.
