More than a Planner - Why Mental Health Support, matters on your MilitaryWedding journey.

Hey there!

I want to remind you that your Wedding Planning journey can be fun (I promise!) Especially, when you’ve got someone in your corner who truly gets Military Life. It’s not always as simple as picking flowers & tasting cake!

Long distances, deployments, short notice leave, or just the general stress of juggling Service Life can make Wedding Planning feel ... a bit too much. That’s where I come in.

I’m Charlotte, the ‘Heels’ behind Banns & Plans - Military Weddings by Charlotte. I’m proud to work with Present Serving Personnel & Veteran couples across the British Armed Forces.

However, I am more than a typical Wedding Planner / Coordinator.

I’m also a trained Mental Health First Aider by MHFA England since 2019.

What does this mean for you?

It means that when you’re planning your big day with me, you’re not just getting someone who knows how to colour-coordinate napkins (although I can do that too!) You’re getting someone who truly sees you.

Someone who understands that sometimes, Wedding Planning can bring up more than just excitement; And that’s ok.

Maybe you’re feeling anxious about how your partner will get leave approved.

Maybe one of you struggles with PTSD or other Mental Health challenges.

Maybe you just need a bit more space, kindness & patience through the process. You’ve got it.

Here’s how I can support you:

Adapting how we chat - Whether that’s virtual, shorter meetings, or slower timelines.

Helping you navigate emotionally charged decisions, with care.

Offering supplier suggestions that understand your unique needs.

Making sure Venue viewings feel comfortable, welcoming & stress-free. Perhaps with a chaperone appointment rather than on a Venue ‘Open Day’ where everyone attends at the same time.

Being a safe, confidential & non-judgemental person to talk to when you need it - ‘This is Me!’

You don’t have to pretend everything’s fine if it’s not. You don’t have to push through Planning like it’s just another task on the to-do list. This is your Wedding & both of you deserve to enjoy it.

Let’s lift the weight together, so the joy, love & celebration can shine through - Just like, it should!

Your journey is safe with me & your Wedding Day?

                            We’ll make sure it’s one to remember for all the right reasons.

Your ‘once’ vision, is ‘now’ reality.

                             Our objection has been achieved.

Welcome, ‘Mr & Mrs Newlyweds’ with your ‘Just-Married’ glow!
