Stories, Ideas & Ceremony Inspiration
Welcome to the Dragonfly Ceremonies blog – where I share ceremony inspiration, planning tips, stories from celebrations I've been honoured to create, and thoughts about marking life's important moments with meaning and magic.

Every Ceremony, Beautifully Yours
Weddings & Vow Renewals
Magical outdoor celebrations, intimate woodland weddings, beach ceremonies at sunset, festival-style gatherings, second marriages, blended family celebrations, LGBTQ+ weddings, and ceremonies for couples who want something wonderfully unconventional. I am here to support you from our very first chat to your ceremony day, so the skies the limit and together we can make your ceremony as unique as you are.
Naming Ceremonies
Baby namings, adoption celebrations (close to my heart as I'm adopted myself), blended family ceremonies, divorce liberation name changes, and any life transition that deserves to be honoured.
Funerals & Celebrations of Life
A ceremony that reflects a life, a ceremony serves as a time to pause, come together, and celebrate a life well-lived. It is an opportunity for reflection, remembrance, and connection—where stories are shared, love is expressed, and a person's legacy is lovingly embraced by those who knew them, natural woodland burials, eco-friendly ceremonies with biodegradable materials, non-traditional celebrations of life, and ceremonies in meaningful locations.
