    SPIRITUALITY 🫶✨ A friend recently drew my attenti SPIRITUALITY 🫶✨ A friend recently drew my attention to evidence that there might be a quiet shift happening in Gen Z’s attitude to spirituality. This led me to do a little research and to be fair it is not universally agreed and there’s a fair amount of nuance. It seems it’s not necessarily religion in the traditional sense, but something softer, more curious, more intentional. It seems some young people are reaching for something, a deeper a sense of belonging, a set of values, a moment to pause, a place that feels steady in a world that often doesn’t. ✨ And honestly? I find this incredibly encouraging. Because so many young people are growing up in a world where structure, guidance, and even a clear moral compass can feel blurry or inconsistent. So, for them to seek out something that gives them clarity, direction, and a deeper sense of “this is who I want to be”… it feels hopeful. It also made me wonder how this shift might shape the ceremonies they choose. As someone who loves creating spaces that hold people gently through life’s biggest moments, this trend fills me with hope. I’m curious — have you noticed it too? Are you becoming more spiritually curious? And do you think it might influence the ceremonies you choose? 🩵 📸: @bizzyarnottphotography

    GEORGINA & TOM, THEIR FANFARE REVIEW 🩵 “Fan is on GEORGINA & TOM, THEIR FANFARE REVIEW 🩵 “Fan is one in a million. Having decided we wanted to make our ceremony more personal and do our legal ceremony another day, we searched for someone who would bring warmth, wit, comfort and soul to our wedding day. Someone who would command a room, guiding us through a traditional feeling ceremony that still felt fresh. Throughout the whole journey of getting to ‘the’ day, Fan was so supportive, nurturing and really understood who we were as not only a couple but individuals. Fan is the safest pair of hands to lead your ceremony and her wisdom, sentimentality, and experience of weddings was really appreciated. One of the best decisions we made! Thank you Fan!” Bride & Groom: @georginarobb @thomas.leggett 📍 @grovehouseweddings 📸 @joshua_gooding
    One of the things I’ve noticed, standing at the to One of the things I’ve noticed, standing at the top of the aisle so many times, is how wonderfully human modern grooms have become. 🩵 Gone are the days of the stiff upper lip and the polite nod. Now? The tears can start the moment they catch sight of their bride, or halfway through the vows when the reality of it all hits. I’ve seen the shaky smiles, the deep breaths, the “I’m fine, really” faces and honestly, it’s brilliant. It shows how far we’ve come: men feeling free to actually feel in the biggest moment of their lives. 🫶 No pretence, no bravado just real emotion, real love. As someone who witnesses that up close, progress has never looked (or cried) so good. 👏 📸: @mattwillisphotography ✨
    I’ll be honest — creating content for this little I’ll be honest — creating content for this little corner of the internet can sometimes be a challenge. Trying to find things that educate, inspire, or simply make you smile takes time and thought. ✨ But one of the best parts of being here is seeing so many of my past couples still following along. I love watching from afar their journeys unfold - the new homes, the adventures, the babies, the milestones - fills me with so much joy. 🩵 I still feel a tiny part of their story. And that connection, that lasting thread will always be special. So to all of you who stay connected here thank you. Your stories remind me why I do what I do.
