In this lively episode of Yes to I Do, Lydia Wakefield is joined by fellow wedding planners Meg, Maggie, and Louisa from Coton House Farm for a mid-season catch-up. They gather around the bar to share the highs, the hilarity, and the mishaps from a packed calendar of weddings so far. From standout personal touches to the less glamorous reality of broken dishwashers and bird poop, the team gives you a behind-the-scenes glimpse of life as a wedding coordinator in peak season.

Key Takeaways

Heartfelt Highlights: From a golden retriever delivering rings to a bride wielding a whistle to rally guests for cake, the team reflects on memorable moments that brought humour, warmth and a few happy tears.

Personal Touches: Unique wedding ideas are in full force this season, from personalised newspapers and glitter ball decor to quizzes, puzzles and mini trophies for the best “know the couple” table.

Trends on the Rise: Dogs at weddings, bows on dresses, colourful flower arrangements, and pearls on veils are all proving popular this year. TikToks and fun bar games like "balance the coin on the lemon" are also on trend.

Planning Advice: The team encourages couples to stick to their own vision, trust their instincts, and not worry if things don’t go exactly to plan. It’s all about making the day truly yours.
