What is your most memorable wedding?
DISCO BALLS & PALMS on 7th September 2021 at Hazel Gap Barn. The bride and groom chose hot pink, palm leaves and disco balls as their theme and it was totally epic and wild! Their main wedding invitation featured a big silver foiled disco ball set amongst hot pink flowers and palm leaves, finish with a maple leaf wax stamp to signify Central Park where they got engaged. Their table plan and signage also had a New York theme running throughout.

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?
Make a mood board (or get me to do it for you), so all of your suppliers are on the same page and we all understand your theme.

I LOVE it when venues allow dogs and they are involved in the ceremony. Is there anything cuter than a dog walking down the aisle with a flower crown?

What is the most important piece of stationery for a wedding and why?
Your invitations are an investment. They are the first glimpse your guests see into your big day. This is the chance to really show your quirks, personalities and love for one another.
Besides invites, if you're giving your guests a menu choice, it's always advisable to have personalised menus on each place setting to remind people what they've chosen.
What is your best seller?
Bespoke invitation design
What is the most innovative delivery method you have come across?
Where possible I always try to deliver the stationery myself if the couple if local.
I haven't seen it, but I do quite like the idea of a barber shop quartet when you get your invites delivered!
How do you add romance to any wedding stationery you do?
I LOVE to incorporate special and meaningful quotes into the stationery designs. It adds such a personal and memorable touch. I also incorporate the flowers that will be included within the bouquet, wherever required.
