    It’s been a little while since my last post, so I thought I’d check in to let you know I am still alive and haven’t forgotten you! I can’t believe it’s nearly April already – spring has finally sprung down here in Essex, and I’m thoroughly enjoying the warm sunshine and daffodils, crocuses and snowdrops that have suddenly burst into bloom.

    With wedding season fast approaching it’s been super busy over the last few weeks and we’ve been heads down hard at work planning this summer’s weddings. I’m privileged to be working with some wonderful couples and fabulous designs, so I can’t wait to see everything come together on the day. Purple seems to be a particularly popular colour this year, so watch this space for some real-life design boards and more wedding inspiration!

  • Photo Shoot at 58 Princes Gate

    Thursday, February 11th, 2010

    Posted in HCW News, Venues

    Just before Christmas I was approached by Elodie, the marketing executive of a new London wedding venue, to assist with an upcoming photo shoot for their wedding brochure and website. 58 Princes Gate is owned and managed by Imperial College London, and is a beautiful Edwardian building that is tucked away in the heart of South Kensington. It already successfully hosts corporate meetings, seminars and private dinners, but this year is looking to open its doors to brides and grooms who are looking for an exclusive and intimate central London venue.

    Helen Carter Weddings will be closed for Christmas from 12 noon on Christmas Eve until 4th January 2010. Before I shut up shop I want to take the opportunity to thank you for your company over the last few months. The blog was a new venture for 2009, so I hope you have found it interesting, informative and inspiring.

    I wish you a very Happy Christmas, and a peaceful and prosperous New Year – see you in 2010!

  • Wedding Planning Special Offer

    Thursday, October 29th, 2009

    Posted in HCW News, Planning Advice

    Today I’m super-excited to announce that we are now running a special winter offer of 20% off all wedding planning services booked before 31st January 2010.

    Winter is traditionally a time when wedding planning takes a back seat – let’s face it, both time and money are in high demand over the festive season! This means that it can also be a time when you start to feel increasingly stressed about your wedding, particularly if you are getting married in the Spring. Suddenly you’re getting married ‘this year’ and not next, and in the midst of all the Christmas shopping, parties and visiting you still need to find the time to keep on top of your wedding arrangements.

    I’ve been a bit slack with the blog this week as I’ve been super busy catching up after our holiday. We had a beautiful week on the South coast of Kent, and I’m totally refreshed for the rest of the summer season.
