What is your most memorable wedding?
It'd be strange to not say my own. I designed everything, then left my team to make and set it all up. I had lots of flowers, moss animals, blossom trees, skulls, a spooky dessert table, black cake, floor mist, uplighters and more! Very fun. I would change a few things now, though. So many gorgeous trends at the moment.

What about your business are you most proud of?
Looking at our reviews it would have to be customer service. I try to keep communication as reliable and regular as possible, my advice honest and your experience fun and friendly, while still professional enough to know we can deliver. I work incredibly hard to try and get better and better in every aspect of the business and seeing happy clients lovely words are a huge boost to me and the team.
What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?
Find suppliers you have a good rapport with and who have a portfolio you love. Trust is key!
What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?
After 500 plus weddings it's hard to choose one! I always remember one bride with a groom named Andrew writing ''Andy'' on the sole of her shoe like in Toy Story - I thought that was so fun and cute.
Describe your typical process with a couple.
We send out an information pack after the initial enquiry, which is full of handy info and prices. If the couple wishes to use our full service option we then recommend a consultation, where we discuss and design your wedding plans, send across a bespoke quote with your dream wishlist and then ideally, get you booked in! The final meeting is due 2 months out. where we will firm things up and take it from there, letting you get on with the rest of your planning while we bring the pretty!
What is the best themed wedding you have worked at?
We've had a few great ones, but I particularly loved a festival themed wedding where the guests camped on the couples land in tents, they had huge tipi's and those giant flags you get at festivals- amazing!
What are the decorative trends with brides currently?
Boho is still very big, I am loving the black modern elements and more industrial, neon vibes for urban weddings. Disco balls are highly requested now. Colour seems to be creeping back in after a lot of white and green has dominated for a while. Faux flowers are very on-trend too (and budget friendly if you hire!).
What is your signature finishing touch?
I think having a mix of big impactful pieces plus some little luxury touches really finishes off your décor. Big tall centrepieces or archways look amazing as you all walk in, but then having a beautiful charger plate, colourful napkin or a sprig of scented foliage at each guests place setting makes them feel special and is luxurious on an individual basis too.
What decoration do you think every wedding needs?
I always encourage our couples to have an impact piece. Especially if its reusable (think a ceremony arch you can put behind the top table/behind the cake/as a photo op insta moment!). It's just nice to have something with wow factor that people will remember and will frame all the most important images of the day.
