Real Wedding: Mark & Zoe
September 20th, 2009
The Personal Touch
Well its my first foray into the world of blogging. I am so brimming with ideas I had a real dilemma on where to start. At the Wedding Genie we really care about the personal details that make your wedding stand apart from the crowd. We absolutely love it when we hear the guests at the wedding comment on how the little touches have perfectly portrayed the lovely couple. It was really the case at this beautiful wedding we had the privilege to help plan and coordinate. The weather was perfect, the venue was stunning, the guests chatted on the lawn sipping pink champagne whilst listening to a string quartet.
Over the next few weeks I want to share with you Mark & Zoë’s ideas and the fantastic suppliers we had the honour of working with.
Our philosophy is to only recommend suppliers that believe in the absolute best customer service and attention to detail. You won’t see anyone featured in our blogs who have not been personally vetted by us.
Here are a few of the great personal touches that made this wedding so Mark & Zoe.
Zoe loves all things pink and that became the theme for the wedding. The ladies were given heart shaped pink cookies tied with ribbon to match the theme. Marks love of Rugby inspired the idea to name the tables at the reception, they were called after Marks favourite teams, even the mens favours were cute rugby balls. Zoe went to a lot of trouble to ensure the children were catered for an entertained too. Over the last six months every little detail was planned to perfection. Their guests really noticed the effort that Zoe went to.

The atmosphere was relaxed and most importantly, the happy couple enjoyed every single minute as we beavered away in the back ground. Zoe told me she was on cloud nine and never once came down. She was free to take it all in, to savour the moment with Mark and her family. At the end of the evening their guests strayed outside to enjoy the romantic atmosphere in the beautifully lit garden. Then as a surprise a fantastic firework display ended the fabulous day.
I want to illustrate that if, as a couple, you take the time to visualise how you would like your day to look and feel, both to you and your guests, it will help you decide how to prioritise the spending of your hard earned cash. The little details did not cost a fortune, but because they were well thought out the whole day was perfection and reflected Mark and Zoë’s personality.
I hope this has given you a few ideas on how to make your wedding really personal. Sit down with your partner and think about what makes you tick. Its “your” special day and it should reflect you!!
