KIND WORDS // "I couldn't recommend Michelle's ser KIND WORDS // "I couldn't recommend Michelle's services enough. We had a difficult time planning our first attempt at a wedding (which was cancelled by the pandemic) and so we were looking for help with the second attempt in September. We thought we had most things covered after the first attempt but, as they say, you don't know what you don't know. Michelle asked questions in our first meeting with her that we'd never even considered previously She got to the heart of what represented us as a couple and she turned that into something beautiful and personal. We had some issues with suppliers along the way - Michelle handle them all very aptly, and took the stress out of what easily could've been a painful experience. I also had family drama along the way, Michelle was sensitive to this and made suggestions for how to ensure continued smooth running. And then on the day itself, Michelle was a godsend! I had several guests comment on how calm I was through the day - a genuine big thank you to all the forethought and planning that Michelle put in to make it so easy, and all her efforts on the day."

BLOG POST // QUALITY FABRIC GIFT WRAPPING // This BLOG POST // QUALITY FABRIC GIFT WRAPPING // This week on the blog, Cathy and Yukki from @zusetsu_store are introducing us to beautiful wedding furoshiki gift wrapping. Furoshiki originated as a very special cloth for the wrapping of the treasures of the Japanese Imperial Court, in a city just outside Kyoto over a thousand years ago. Zusetsu is now the largest supplier of the traditional, authentic Japanese furoshiki in the UK. This method of wrapping is increasing in popularity as many of us are reacting to the sea of plastic and waste in daily life. People want something simpler to wrap items in but also something that is beautiful and reusable. So instead of using unrecyclable paper and plastic tape to wrap your wedding gifts and table favours in, why not create a stunning table setting with the elegance of furoshiki. In Japan, a bride would be gifted a furoshiki in which to wrap her wedding trousseau, and she would continue to use her furoshiki throughout her married life. The thought behind all of these furoshiki is that they will be absorbed into the family after the ceremony and become a well loved and well used gift wrap for many years to come.

BLOG POST // SUSTAINABLE WEDDING VEILS // In the a BLOG POST // SUSTAINABLE WEDDING VEILS // In the age of fast fashion many brides have hit the pause button. Online searches for sustainable fashion are on the increase, and many brides are now looking for more eco-friendly bridal fashion...and that includes wedding veils. But can you really wear a wedding veil that has been recycled? We spoke to Rebekah McCann-Williams, Creative Designer at @visionaryveils to find out. Extending the lifespan of a garment is one of the key elements of sustainable fashion. Stored in lofts all over the country are beautiful wedding veils – once cherished as a precious garment and now almost forgotten and hidden from site. With the expertise of a wedding veil designer, this can be a wonderfully creative way to continue your sustainable wedding planning, by choosing to restore an existing wedding veil to its former glory. Imagine the impact if only a small percentage of brides choose to repurpose an old wedding veil rather than buying new.

AUTUMN WEDDING TIP // The Autumn brings bright, cr AUTUMN WEDDING TIP // The Autumn brings bright, crisp days, colourful trees and early evening sunsets. 🧡The falling leaves make for the most beautiful photography backdrop, they also make the most wonderful, natural, seasonal confetti. Spend a day wandering around the wood the week or so before your wedding collecting a basket full of colourful, crisp leaves. 💛It can be a difficult time for many to get time off work, with the children returning back to school and the recent summer holidays, annual leave can be hard to come by for many. Think about choosing a venue that is easily accessible for the majority of guests and that they could travel to and home in the day. 💚Money can also be tight in the autumnal months, with many paying off summer holidays and starting to save for Christmas.
