"Emma's creativity and professionalism shone through in every aspect of our experience. We couldn't be happier with the results." - Trustpilot Review
From childhood dreams of being like JLo in The Wedding Planner to helping couples create their dream weddings, this journey has been a total joy. When I’m not working on weddings, you’ll find me listening to true crime podcasts or musical theatre tunes - slightly different vibes! I’m all about creativity and staying on top of trends, but what really excites me is getting to know you as a couple & helping to create your perfect wedding day.

5 star service

Absolutely loved our custom made drink stirrers for our wedding, they went down a treat. Also the flower wall and led light was perfect, set up as expected and looked great. Thanks so much!

Flower Wall

Great service, lovley and friendly to talk to. I order the wisteria deluxe flower wall and the happily ever after neon sign. My wedding guests loved it and made a beautiful background for photos.

Brilliant service from TAC…

Brilliant service from TAC providing all the final touches for our wedding day! Emma created a beautiful welcome sign to suit our colour scheme and we also had the frosted table plan sign, table numbers and menus. We used the heart shaped drinks charms as place names and they worked so well! Highly recommend! Xx

Fantastic wee business run by great people

Absolutely tremendous service and products from Emma & Jamie. We got quite a few items from them for our Wedding day and they were fantastic. They have such a vast selection with lovely personalised gifts. Their service delivery was also very professional. I cannot recommend this personal, warm and caring company enough. Will definitely be using them again in the future and wish them all the best.

Wedding Hire

Emma & Jamie were amazing to deal with right from the get go! We contacted them about hiring their gorgeous wisteria pillars for the top of our aisle and it was so easy! We asked if the pillars could be moved from the aisle to our reception and it was absolutely no bother for them - they came back and moved them into position whilst adding their gorgeous Mr & Mrs neon sign which we also hired. Our guests loved the pillars which created a stunning photo backdrop and we couldn’t have been happier

Incredibly Patient and Stunning Signage!

I would highly recommend Thoughts & Crosses for any wedding or event. Despite many last minute changes before my wedding, they were so understanding and made the most stunning signs for us. Many of our guests have commented how amazing they look and I can't thank you enough!

Went above and beyond - highly recommend!

We hired a flower arch from Thoughts and Crosses to go behind our top table at our wedding. They went above and beyond and even hung our neon name sign for us so that it was all ready on the day. The communication was always prompt and helpful. Can’t recommend them highly enough and can’t wait to have another event for an excuse to use them again!

FAQs

What is your most memorable wedding?

We’ve been part of so many incredible weddings, but one that stands out was a beautiful, intimate celebration in Aberdeenshire. The bride was Scottish, the groom was Brazilian, and their day was filled with thoughtful details that blended both cultures perfectly. From decor that reflected their them to personal touches that made the day truly unique, it was a joy to bring their vision to life!

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

Stylish, Personalised, Elegant, Modern, Memorable

What about your business are you most proud of?

We’re so proud of building this business together from scratch. As a couple, we’ve combined our strengths - one of us with the creativity, the other with the logistics - and made it work. It’s been such a rewarding journey, seeing our ideas come to life and helping couples make their big day even more special. What makes it even better is knowing we’ve built something amazing, side by side, and get to do it every day!

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Enjoy the process and don’t stress the small stuff! Weddings are all about celebrating your love, so try to focus on the fun parts - like picking out personal touches that reflect your style and making memories along the way. Trust the professionals you hire (like us!) to handle the details so you can really soak in the excitement of the big day!

What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?

One of our favourite personal touches we’ve had the pleasure of creating was a 3D acrylic welcome sign featuring the lyrics from the couple’s first dance. It was such a meaningful detail that added a personal touch right from the start of the day. Seeing it come together and knowing it would be such a special part of their wedding was such a joy! It’s those unique touches that make each wedding feel one-of-a-kind.

Describe your typical process with a couple.

Our typical process with a couple starts with a friendly chat, either in person over a cuppa or virtually, so we can get to know each other and understand your vision. We love hearing about your ideas and seeing how we can help bring them to life. After that, we’ll work on some design concepts and discuss everything in detail - whether it's decor, signage, or both. Once we’ve nailed everything down, we handle the rest, from creation to setup, so you can relax and enjoy your big day knowing it’s all taken care of!

What is the best themed wedding you have worked at?

One of our favourite wedding themes is the all-white floral wedding. It's timeless yet modern, and the entire day gains such a serene, elegant feel. From the soft white faux florals we use in the centrepieces to the delicate signage and decor, every detail works together beautifully. The simplicity of the white theme feels so fresh and sophisticated.

What are the decorative trends with brides currently?

Right now, we’re seeing couples go in two completely different directions with their wedding decor - all-white florals for a timeless, elegant feel or bold, colourful florals for a fun, vibrant vibe. The all-white look is all about modern minimalism - think soft florals, clean lines, and a sophisticated, understated elegance. On the other end, bright and colourful florals are making a statement, bringing personality and energy to the day with bold, playful arrangements. No matter the style, it’s all about creating a look that feels authentic and personal - which is exactly what we love helping couples do!

What is your signature finishing touch?

Our signature finishing touch? Bespoke acrylic signage, made in-house with our two large laser machines! This means we can create completely custom welcome signs, table plans, drink charms, and more, tailored to each couple’s style.

What decoration do you think every wedding needs?

Honestly? An aisle carpet! It’s such a simple detail, but it completely transforms a ceremony space - it instantly makes the aisle feel more polished and special. It’s one of those little touches that couples don’t always think about, but once it’s in place, it makes a huge difference!
