Tell
me a bit about yourself and your company.
I started my career
co-ordinating many exciting and innovative weddings in the hospitality industry
as a Wedding and Events Manager. It was through this that my passion for
weddings grew and Samantha Whitehead-Young Wedding Design was established
in 2003. That passion has not faded over all these years and every wedding is
different which makes for an exciting and interesting life

We offer couples many services to assist in the planning of
their wedding from an hour consultation to full wedding planning
We are a
supplier-independent therefore we are not tied to any specific allegiances or
interests allowing us to create the perfect occasion without compromise. We
have however over the years built a lot of relationships with local and
national suppliers to help save you money. We negotiate the best prices
possible and pass on all discounts and benefits to our clients through our
clear accounting system . In fact, these cost savings quite often negate the
cost of our fees altogether.
We understand that it is the
couples wedding day, and follow their wishes to the letter creating the day
that they dreamed of without all the stress that is inevitably involved.

Are
you married?
o If no: do you have a secret wedding wish
list?
 |

No I am not
married:))
I have planned
many beautiful weddings both large and small, for me personally I would prefer
a small ceremony with close friends and family in a church that I could walk
to.
I love the
outdoors and nature so an al fresco wedding breakfast using stunning views as a
backdrop with huge ice buckets of champagne
Followed by a
huge reception party with lots of trees wrapped in fairy lights and candles
lighting the area in their soft hues
Huge outdoor
sofas for guests to lounge on and live music to dance the night away under the
stars
The most
important aspect would be that it was very relaxed and everyone would enjoy
themselves sharing in the celebration of what the day was about.

What
is your favourite part of working with bride & grooms (to-be)?
The excitement of
the upcoming day, the love between the couple and knowing that they are
enjoying the planning process of their wedding stress free.

What
is your most favourite wedding theme at the moment?
So
many.... All out classic glamour : silvers and whites, oversized candelabras,
crystals, calligraphy and sumptuous floral arrangements. Keep it simple and
elegant for a fabulously breathtaking glamour theme.

Top
wedding tip?
Organisation,
organisation, organisation:) A well organised wedding is a successful wedding!
·
What
do you think the next big wedding trends might be?
Looking
at the 2013 bridal gown shows, the influence of the vintage theme still remains
strong including vintage Hollywood and the glamour of 1930’s Paris.
Bold
colours will be a strong influence I feel with designers such as Vera Wang
showcasing dresses in scarlet, crimson, vermillion and dahlia.
·
Where
can we find your fabulous company?
Our
main office is based in Northallerton in North Yorkshire, however we plan
weddings all over the UK

What
are your plans for the future?
SWY is simply a
wedding planning company, we dont do hire packages, we don’t sell stationery,
we simply concentrate on what we do best and support brides and grooms along
with their families in the planning process of their wedding. The future
consists of us maintaining these ethos with many more couples and ensuring that
they have the day of their dreams without any of the worry or stress.
Many thanks to Samantha for sharing all of this with us!
