"Yet marked I where the bolt of Cupid fell. It fell upon a little western flower, before milk-white, now purple with love’s wound. And maidens call it “love-in-idleness.”

Hi there, I’m Heléna, the planner behind Love In Idleness.
​
I have been planning weddings for 5 years and I'm not ashamed to admit -
I love love. I deeply value the magic that comes with connection between family, friends, and strangers. ​​
​I have guided hundreds of couples through their celebrations - from multi-day occasions to intimate evening gatherings.
​
I know just how much time, thought, and emotion goes into creating a wedding. While planning can be an incredibly joyful journey, it often comes with its own pressures. Juggling decisions, timelines, and expectations can feel overwhelming, especially when balanced alongside everyday life.
​
What should be a time filled with excitement and connection can easily become overshadowed. Your engagement deserves to be cherished - it should feel just as special as your wedding day itself.
​
That’s where I come in. My role is to help you pause, breathe, and fully immerse yourself in the beauty of this moment - the engagement, the anticipation, and every detail that follows.
​
My approach to planning is thoughtful and bespoke, designed to reflect your story and style. I’m here to ensure the entire experience feels seamless, intentional, and deeply personal.
​
And when the long-awaited day has come and gone, I want you to look back not only on a beautiful celebration, but on a season of your life that felt calm, exciting, and full of love - everything you hoped it would be, and more.
​
Every couple is unique, so I invite you to explore The Services to discover the level of support that best complements your vision.
​
And since we’ll be working closely together throughout this journey, here’s a little more about me…

A FEW KIND WORDS...
"Heléna was so attentive and calm throughout - no request was too big, no idea too silly or impossible."
​
- J&L
"From start to finish Heléna, our wedding planner, put together every important aspect of our big day, guiding us through every step. We had regular meetings to iron out the finishing touches, and if we had any questions (big or small) she was just an email away, replying swiftly, putting us at ease. Once our big day came around, we were both relaxed and confident that everything was in good hands, and of course it all ran smoothly."
- H&D
"Heléna was the perfect wedding coordinator, everything ran without a hitch. We had absolutely no worries the whole day."
- J&C
​"The planning process was simple and incredibly helpful. Heléna helped us every step of the way, she took all the stress out of wedding planning. She helped bring our ideas into fruition, nothing was too big or too small. On the day Heléna made sure everything ran seamlessly. I wouldn't change a thing."
