Create Memories
to Last a Lifetime
Creative
I work closely with you, your venue and, if you’ve already booked them, your suppliers to develop and create a cohesive look, feel style, and vibe for your wedding.
Perfect Setting
I help you to bring your vision to life, to ensure that all the details and elements come together, so that when your guests leave your wedding, they say, “wow that really was them!”. If you haven’t already found some or all of the right suppliers, I’m well connected and will recommend suppliers that will add depth and detail to your wedding.
Lasting Memories
On the day of your wedding, whilst you are being pampered and having fun with your bridetribe, I’m working with the suppliers and the venue to bring together all of the elements of your styling so that you, your partner and your guests are taken aback by the attention to detail.
Whats’s Involved
If you haven’t already chosen a venue or can’t find one that feels like a good fit, I help you find a venue that works with your guest numbers, style, and your budget – I help you, as a couple, to choose your wedding style – romantic, fun, whimsical, chic, etc, as choosing your wedding style is one of the most critical aspects of planning your wedding. It helps set the tone for your day helping to bring all the critical elements together. I will:
provide an initial and final design pack of every styling aspect of your day, including your tablescape, flowers, candles (if the venue allows), stationery, favours, cake, props, etc so on the day, it all comes together seamlessly
attend an initial meeting at your chosen venue where you would bring along your current vision, mood boards, scrapbook, Pinterest boards etc, and (if you have already chosen, your suppliers, at this meeting, we will focus on what’s important to you and what will be important to you in 12,18 or 24 months from now.
if required, provide five mood boards that ‘fix’ the look, feel, style and vibe for your wedding which all of the suppliers will work from, each bringing a touch of their company brand, personality and style to your wedding but which will complement the other creatives
recommend suppliers, (up to three for every aspect of your day)
attend meetings with you and your key suppliers, like your caterers to help share your vision
be available to call or email for advice throughout your planning process
attend your final details meeting at your chosen venue
be the go-to person on the day of your wedding for all things styling.
