In the heart of London, at the iconic Trinity Buoy Wharf, Dom and Yana envisioned a wedding that was as unique and vibrant as their love story. However, they faced several challenges in bringing their vision to life. That's where With Akilah & Co stepped in, transforming a blank canvas into an epic sustainable wedding that not only met but exceeded their expectations.
The Challenge: From Vision to Reality
Dom and Yana desired a wedding that was both modern and sustainable but found themselves overwhelmed with the logistics. Their ambition to DIY their wedding by growing over 30 plants proved challenging, as they realistically needed over 400. Additionally, selecting a dry hire venue meant they had to bring every aspect of their wedding to life from scratch. They struggled with:
Sourcing the right suppliers: They needed vendors who could provide sustainable and cost-effective solutions.
Styling a blank canvas: Transforming a dry hire venue into a personalized space that resonated with their vision.
Managing logistics: From coordinating with a boat company unfamiliar with weddings to ensuring a seamless close-down at the end of the night.
The Solution: A Comprehensive Coordination and Styling Approach
With Akilah & Co offered a holistic approach to wedding day coordination and styling. Our strategy was built on three pillars:
Listening and Understanding: We began by truly understanding Dom and Yana's vision. Through multiple consultations, we absorbed their ideas and preferences, which allowed us to create a unique vision board that perfectly aligned with their dream wedding.
Leveraging Trusted Suppliers: We tapped into our network of recommended suppliers who shared our commitment to sustainability and affordability. This included collaborating with a florist who provided the necessary foliage to transform the venue into a lush green paradise with over 400 plants.
Seamless Execution and Coordination: We devised a robust timeline that all suppliers and family members could follow, ensuring every detail was executed flawlessly. This included coordinating with their boat company to ensure a professional and smooth experience.
The Outcome: A Celebration to Remember
The results of our work were nothing short of spectacular. Dom and Yana's wedding was a harmonious blend of love, tradition, and modernity, characterized by:
Personalised Experience: Every element of the wedding reflected Dom and Yana's personalities, from the vibrant yet neutral colour palette to the informal dress code and the Caribbean cuisine that left guests raving. Handwritten notes for their guests laid at their seat and get this: every guest got to leave with a plant as their wedding favour.
Seamless Execution: Our detailed coordination ensured that no hiccup went unnoticed, allowing the couple and their guests to enjoy the day without stress.
Widespread Recognition: The wedding was not only a memorable event for attendees but also garnered attention from a famous wedding blog, showcasing the potential of sustainable wedding styling.
