I think sometimes planning a wedding must feel a little like organising Glastonbury. Only, most couples have no experience in event planning, and you’re a team of two, not hundreds. You might not be inviting tens of thousands of guests – but you’re trying to give the most important people in the world an amazing experience and a day to remember. The pressure to have the ‘perfect’ wedding can be too much – and planning anxiety is something the wedding media should talk about seriously.
There is such a thing as the ‘everywedding‘ – and it’s all about styling. The internet and wedding media can’t help but follow trends, but YOU absolutely don’t have to. Take a step back for just one moment and imagine your wedding from your guests’ perspective: it will be all about the two of you. Your favourite people are excited to see you celebrate your love, and if you find a way to do that which feels authentic, comfortable, and really personal, it will be an unforgettable day! Here’s how to sidestep the ‘everywedding‘ trap of samey styling, and create your own unique and beautiful wedding – with help from our favourite wedding experts!
I consider myself really lucky to be able to pick up the phone for a chat with Britain’s top luxury wedding planner Mark Niemierko. Mark’s an absolute sweetheart, very open and bursting with ideas – he’s also one of the most talented stylists in the business with an incredible reputation for elegance and insanely beautiful weddings. At the start of the year Mark sent me these beautiful images, which I’ve used as inspiration for a little feature on wedding colours and styling touches, perfect for this time of year.
I adore my chats with England’s top luxury wedding planner Mark Niemierko.

This scares me: one in six wedding guests admits to drink driving the morning after the big day. And we’re not talking about it enough.
Direct Line in collaboration with luxury wedding planner Mark Niemierko have launched a campaign to educate couples and wedding guests about drink driving after weddings. With around 220,000 marriages a year in England and Wales, and an average of 80 guests at each one, that suggests over a million journeys are made by a driver who could be over the limit, the day after a wedding.
