Well done: you’ve taken that big step and got engaged. If you’re reading this page, it’s probably because you’re considering asking for some help in Cumbria to make your wedding plans become reality.

Wedding Designer vs Wedding Planner

There is much more to what we do than just wedding planning: we design weddings.

A wedding planner concentrates on the nitty-gritty details of a wedding, liaising with suppliers on your behalf.

Having a wedding designer on board gives you something else: someone to make your wedding dreams reality.

They concentrate on how the wedding hits the senses. They want to make sure it meets all your fantasies.

They deal in fantasies: making sure that your wedding works as an overall sensory experience, especially the way it looks.

Of course, dreaming about the perfect wedding is easy. Making that dream wedding go without a hitch can be trickier.

Cumbria is a non-metropolitan county in North West England. The county and Cumbria County Council, its local authority, came into existence in 1974 after the passage of the Local Government Act 1972. Cumbria's largest settlement and county town is Carlisle. It consists of six districts, and in 2008 had a population of just under half a million. Cumbria is one of the most sparsely populated counties in the United Kingdom, with 73.4 people per km2 (190/sq mi). Despite this, the Borough of Barrow-in-Furness, in the south, has a population density over twelve times this at 921/km2 (2,385.3/sq mi). Cumbria, the third largest ceremonial county in England by area, is bounded to the north by the Scottish council area of Dumfries and Galloway, to the west by the Irish Sea, to the south by Lancashire, to the southeast by North Yorkshire, and to the east by County Durham and Northumberland.
