What is your most memorable wedding?
They've all been memorable! Most of my brides have become friends as we've worked so closely together and each wedding has had its own special something that sums up the couple completely, which, to me, makes a wedding memorable.
Describe your style in 5 adjectives.
Delicate, elegant, feminine, botanical, sentimental.
What about your business are you most proud of?
I'm proud every time my bride sees her accessory for the first time and the smile spreads across her face!
What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?
Stay true to yourselves and you won't go wrong. Don't feel pressured to follow trends that don't suit your style.
What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?
My favourite personal touches are always the sentimental ones, like my bride, Katie, who incorporated her grandmother's pearls and her grandfather's watch into her brooch bouquet and felt like her grandparents were with her on her wedding day, Helena, who had pins inspired by Forget-Me-Nots in memory of her grandfather, and Nikki, who incorporated a huge, colourful flamingo brooch in to her hair vine to match her incredible colourful hair and vibrant personality.
Describe your typical process with a couple.
Most of my brides book a consultation through my website and we meet over Zoom to chat about their wedding plans and ideas. It's a great opportunity to get a feel for each other, because I believe if you book the right suppliers for you, wedding planning goes much smoother.
After our Zoom call, I send across some designs for you to consider and make changes to, and then, when you're happy, you can pay a deposit to secure your accessory.
I offer my brides the option to pay all at once, or to spread the cost.
I keep you updated with videos and photos throughout the process, so you can join me on the journey making your hair accessory or bouquet! I also dedicate a blog post to you after your wedding day and create an Instagram reel that you can download and keep.
What do you love most about your job?
The look on my brides faces when they see their ideas turned in to something beyond what they'd imagined
What is the best way to incorporate "Something Blue" into the wedding outfit?
I add a little blue crystal discretely in to some pieces, or attach one to the box so you can stitch it into something yourself.
