As with anything, this is entirely down the individual, your budget and your vibe-I know brides who stayed in their dress the whole day because they loved it that much and they baulked at the idea of spending £££ amount on their ‘outfit’ to not make the most of it. I, however, am a BIG advocate of a change and I reckon that by the end of this you will be too!

Our journey together

When you choose to work with me, you’re also choosing to place me in the heart of one of the most joyous days of your life–I’m always conscious of what a privilege that is and it’s something I never take for granted. My approach, therefore, goes beyond coordinating logistics or fulfilling a checklist; it's about breathing life into a vision that's uniquely, unmistakably you.

THE BEGINNING

We'll begin with a call which will be an opportunity for us to get to know each other and you as a couple. I want to understand your likes, dislikes and what is really important to you about your day. From this I'll work on a personalised proposal to share with you.

Your wedding is the next chapter in your lives together, and the day should reflect just this. Whether you’ve gone for Full-planning, Coordination or Curation with me, your wedding day is the culmination of the intimate weavings of your story thus far – a day that feels extraordinary and 'you'.
