Very proud to have won the greenery mood board in the recent UKAWEP SS17 Pantone® competition.
Aisle Planner, picked the winners for each colour and shared their thoughts on their blog –
http://community.aisleplanner.com/pantone-mood-board-competition/
Many thanks to Aisle Planner for their kind words:
“Nicola’s consistent use of images featuring mums throughout her board lends a wonderful cohesive feel—it feels like all of these images could have come from one wedding. (Sometimes, mood boards can feel disjointed because images are pulled from so many different sources. This one didn’t have that issue at all.)
The even balance of colors feels professional. Greens, whites, and blacks are all placed well throughout the board—there’s no “too much” of any one color in any one spot.
This board’s imagery helps to convey a number of different aspects of a wedding. We love that Nicola included everything from cake design to typography inspiration. Overall, her board communicates a wedding that is fun, modern, and organic.”

“Cogges began working with Hanami Dream earlier this year on its first wedding open day, promoting both Cogges as a venue and recommended local suppliers.
Nicola offered helpful and friendly advice, with invaluable support to help plan the day. She has a wonderful eye for those details that make a wedding day truly unique, and an ability to bring a little bit of magic into any bride’s big day.
It was a great pleasure to work with Nicola and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Hanami Dream to anyone who wants practical help and inspiration along their wedding journey.”

I’m delighted to be chosen by Andy Quinn as one of this week’s winners to be given the title of #QueenOf Wedding Inspiration. I will wear the crown with pride.
It’s great to network on Twitter and to add to my honoured collection of accolades with this one from The Royal Connection. It’s a competition that was started by Aqua Design Group to celebrate women in business with a weekly #QueenOf competition during the Diamond Jubilee celebrations in 2012. Due to its popularity it still continues every Thursday 9am-9pm on Twitter (and now also includes a #KingOf competition every Tuesday 9am-9pm as well).
I’d love to hear from any fellow #QueenOf or #KingOf winners and look forward to connecting with them on #TheRoyalConnectionHour every Wednesday 9-10pm on Twitter.
