What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?
Oh there's so much we can say! We got married just last month and one of the things we got told a lot was to take some time out together during the day - we achieved this by having a sweetheart table, and it really gave us time just to chat, reflect and enjoy each other's company. We're super glad we did it as we hardly saw each other the rest of the evening - we were so busy with our guests!
What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?
I love weddings that are about the bride and groom, with their culture or personalities shining through the details of the day. There are so many examples I can give - in particular when my chief bridesmaid got married, the couple incorporated both Scottish and Iranian cultures into the day through their ceremony, flowers, food, favours and reception, including a traditional Iranian knife dance! It worked beautifully, and it was amazing to be part of their wedding which was so personal to them and inspired us to incorporate my culture into our wedding.
Describe your typical process with a couple.
When a bride books an appointment, Jenny calls them to have a pre-appointment consultation. In this call, Jenny will ask lots of questions about the big day, what thoughts you have on your wedding gown, and whether there are any current favourites. This call is also used by Jenny to explain what to expect, and offers brides an opportunity to ask any questions. A week or so before the appointment, Jenny will call again to confirm the appointment get any updates! During the appointment, you will be given an introduction to the wedding dresses, and left to choose the ones to try on. During try on, Jenny will add accessories and ask your opinion on each dress in turn, discounting certain styles and potentially suggesting others until you find the one! Upon order, measurements will be taken and a deposit to secure the style. Typically, wedding dresses take up to 6 months to arrive, but are available in a shorter timeframe for an extra charge. When the dress arrives, Jenny will recommend her local seamstress, but you are under no obligation to use her services.
