A wedding planner takes the stress away. Even on a rainy day.
We work together to create your day, your way
Being a wedding planner is about a lot more than just execution, decoration, and well… planning. It’s about putting the couple’s mind at ease, about making sure they get to look forward to their day worry-free. That’s why even wedding planners need wedding planners.
This was the case when Mieke & Arne asked Surf weddings to help out with the planning and creative execution of their wedding. Mieke and I met when we were both following the same training for wedding planning, so it’s safe to say she was just as qualified to do it herself. However, this time she was the bride and all brides deserve a workfree wedding day. Most of the preparations she ended up doing herself and we agreed that Surf weddings would step in in the last three months to take over the workload. Before that, we worked together as a team and we played a supportive role in the journey towards their dream wedding.
Le pays de l'amour
After three months of preparation for us, and many more months of excitement for Mieke & Arne, the time had finally come to gather their family and closest friends on a bus to France. For three days they could finally escape the world to celebrate their love in a romantic Château they had all to themselves. Three days filled with love, dancing, great food and even better company.
On Thursday we started off the long weekend with a pizza party for the happy few. Because no matter the question, pizza is always the answer. On friday the group expanded with even more loved ones for an amazing pool party, so everyone was excited and ready for the big day on Saturday.
You can’t control the weather
They say rain on your wedding day brings good luck for the marriage, but on the actual day it just means rushing around to make sure the ceremony isn’t interrupted by a cold shower. Looking back on the day, and especially the weather, it’s a good thing Mieke was able to hand over that stressful situation to Surf weddings. Since the ceremony had to take place outdoors no matter what, we started planning and rearranging schedules asap. Eventually we ended up gambling on one hour of sun to build the entire setup and have the ceremony. It’s safe to say that the chill vibes were gone for a little while.
Why it’s a Surf wedding
There was no sun, no beach and no surfboards in sight. But that doesn’t mean this romantic castle wedding in France isn’t a Surf wedding. Why? Because, we create your day, your way. Whether that’s in a romantic castle in France or on a sunny beach in Spain. If you and your partner want to escape everyday life with friends and family to celebrate your wedding with a carefree mindset… then it’s a “Surf wedding” you want.
