What is your most memorable wedding?
The most memorable wedding I have ever been to has to be my sister and brother-in-laws. They had a stunning wedding in the heart of Norfolk. They had spent lots of time creating special touches from polaroid place settings, flip flops for dancing time and a limbo pole. What I loved about their day was they had created the day for everyone and had really taken the time to think about their guests.

What about your business are you most proud of?
Starting my business, full stop! I had talked about doing something on my own for a few years. After starting summer 2016 we have gone from strength to strength quickly. Having worked as fashion retailer for major retailers for time this had to be the next career step for me. This year we are delighted to have been nominated for our first award, the Networking Mummies new business award, a fantastic achievement we are very proud of.
What is your No.1 wedding planning tip for couples?
Relax!
What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?
My favourite personal touch at a wedding has to be at my sisters wedding. They had a huge collage made up of photos of all their guests, when you moved backwards the effect created a beautiful picture of the bride and groom. Stunning and very creative.

What are your favourite wedding traditions for men?

What is the best way to make the groomsmen stand out from the crowd?
For me its a stylish Groom, that lets his personality do the talking. A well considered outfit, with real attention to detail. Thinking outside the box and show your style, flair and personality.
Why is groomswear just as important as bridalwear?
It is so important! I remember, my poor hubby struggling to find accessories for our wedding day, whilst I was spoilt for choice. This is the very reason I set up English Gentleman. The groom deserves to be as fantastic as their partner.
What is the most original outfit you have seen a groom wear?
I went to a wedding with a very stylish groom a smart shirt and suit. Hidden underneath however, was a t-shirt says "I love Bea" his new wife. Quirky and thoughtful.
