The day Lara married her soul mate, Tim, couldn’t come soon enough. In fact, this loved up couple were so keen to kick off their married life together, they planned their entire wedding in just eight weeks! It was a bold move, but they pulled it off. Of course this ambitious idea was not something they could have achieved on their own, so they enlisted the help of wedding planner and coordinator, Emma from Wild Heart Weddings.  Lara and Tim say hiring Emma from Wild Heart Weddings to help plan their wedding, as well as coordinate the whole event on the day, was…

  Guest blog post by Carrie and Emily from A Darling Affair. Each month the ladies will showcase specialties from their “Darling” vendors. This months theme is: bridesmaids Sometimes the giving of things or the finer details or effort means a lot more than when someone actually speaks the words “I love you”.
