INSPIRATION
HOW FAR IN ADVANCE OF THEIR WEDDING SHOULD A COUPLE THINK ABOUT THE LOOK OF THEIR TABLES ? I think tables should be considered as part of the overall aesthetic from the beginning . The most successful tablescapes tie in with all aspects of the wedding from invitations , to wedding party colours and importantly the venue itself .
WHEN SOMEONE BOOKS YOU FOR THEIR WEDDING , HOW DOES THE PROCESS WORK ? I work with clients who are hosting micro weddings so I like to work with them as early as possible and meet them in person to discuss their plans . I will then create a bespoke design for my couples based on their setting , personal requirements and budget . I then manage the whole tablescaping process from design right through to the delivery and set up to offer a seamless and holistic service .
