I’m proud to say that I have 100% client satisfaction rate. Please see a glowing testimonial below:
“Erika is a true gem and excels in all ways possible as a wedding planner. Within about 2 weeks of having made the decision to work with Flutterfly, Erika had already delivered well beyond what I had ever expected. She is a true professional and was so easy and enjoyable to work with. She understood my vision for the wedding day and constantly made suggestions to ensure that our event was first class. Erika was available 24/7 which proved to be amazingly useful given that I work long hours and travel quite frequently. She was always available to discuss anything and to offer her expertise and opinion whenever I needed. Her contacts in the industry were incredibly beneficial as I had confidence and piece of mind that all of the various vendors were well vetted and fairly priced.
Planning a wedding involves an incredible amount of time, organization, and money. It can be very easy to get carried away into the minutia of the detail and Erika was brilliant at ensuring that all of the various pieces of the planning fit together to make for an incredible masterpiece on the day! I was able to enjoy every second of the day without one minute of time spent worrying about any of the details. I could not have had this piece of mind without the dedication to perfection and the endless support that Erika offered. She truly is first class in the field of wedding planning and design and I cannot imagine having gone through the process without her by my side every step of the way.”

As an American wedding planner in London, I work with numerous American couples who cross the Ocean to get married in this beautiful country. My top tip for you Americans getting married in London is to choose a venue with history, a venue that has character, a venue that has antiques and other historical features, and a venue that is representative of British History. We don’t have these old historic building in the States and if you have numerous American guests flying over to celebrate your marriage, they will thoroughly enjoy a day in history. As always, more tips to come…
A few weeks ago the lovely blogger, Annabel, from Love My Dress let me do a guest post on American weddings vs British weddings. See my article below and please comment if you’ve noticed any other differences!
On a beautiful British summer morning, the wedding day is finally here. The guests have been seated and are waiting for the grand entrance of the bride. The procession starts and in walk the bridesmaids. Hold on…we’re in Britain (!), I thought the bridesmaids enter after the bride? Is this an American couple? In this story they’re British but in reality more and more British couples are incorporating American wedding traditions into their weddings and looking to the US for inspiration.
As an American wedding planner in London, I’ve watched British couples take on American traditions and trends more so in the last two years than ever before. With the boom of wedding blogs and the increase of brides who want to have a unique and personlised wedding, it’s easy to find creative ways to incorporate traditions from another country. As long as it’s meaningful for the couple and won’t confuse guests, swinging a new tradition is worth the effort!
For all of you American and British readers who’d like to shake thinks up a bit, check out the differences between American weddings and British weddings then think about incorporating one into your wedding. Heck, even do two!
Are there any differences you’ve noticed between American weddings and British weddings?
