I often get asked the same questions about what I do, so I have put together this handy little FAQ page to answer the most common ones.
If you've got more questions, or simply want to get the ball rolling, then please Get In Touch as I can't wait to hear from you!
Do you have a question?
I'm based near Nottingham and offer my wedding styling and DIY decoration hire service all around the East Midlands, including Nottingham Derby, Leicester, Prestwold, Quorn, Southwell, Castle Donington, Melton Mowbray, Harlaxton, Newark, Grantham, Rutland and many more places in Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire and Derbyshire.
No! as I offer a fixed price wedding styling package for just £1250, which includes unlimted use of any of our collection - you could literally have every item I own if you wish (although I wouldn't recommend it as I have sooo much!). Plus you get your on-the-day wedding stationery included making it really great value!
The package covers weddings for up to 100 people, so if you're having a larger wedding, please get in touch for a quote.
For DIY decoration and prop hire and wedding stationery, there is a minimum order of £200.
No, there's no catch! It really is unlimited!
I have a gorgeous collection of styling items (which is always growing!) and you can choose as much or as little as you want. You can also change your mind and add things without worrying about extra costs. I wanted to keep it simple to allow couples to budget and give them peace of mind that they can have the dream wedding styling and stationery that they want. There are upgrade options available where I can source items for you that I don't have. However, you don't need to upgrade anything to create a beautifully styled wedding, but the choice is there for couples who want it.
Yes I do and it's based on how far your venue is from my base, and needs to cover 2 round trips - one for going there to set everything up for you, and one for returning to pick it all up again. Rather than build it in to our prices, I thought it was fairer to base it on the distance I need to travel for each wedding. Travel costs are usually around £50, but may be lower if your venue is very local to me.
I believe that my venue styling and stationery package offers great value, but like everything in life, there are a whole range of companies who offer the same sort of product, but at different prices. You can buy a £2.50 T-shirt from Primark or a £25 one from Zara. They're both T-shirts, but at very different prices, and the same goes for us. I believe that I offer an amazing venue styling and wedding stationery service for a really reasonable price. When you book with me, you're not just paying to hire the products, you're paying for my award-winning service, my many years of experience, knowledge and expertise, my creativity and unique style and a completely bespoke service.
No I don't, but that's one of the ways I keep my prices down. However, after styling weddings for over 17 years, I'm pretty good at what I do! So, we'll have Zoom calls to get to know each other and talk about ideas, and I'll send you detailed styling plans with illustrations, photos, mood boards etc. We can also meet in person, either for coffee or at your venue. We may even be able to set up a table at your venue by prior arrangement with them, so you can see your styling in person before the big day itself.
If you like my work and what I do, then know that you can trust me to bring your vision to life!
On the surface, they sound like the same thing, but I think they're quite different! I liken it to the difference between a decorator and an interior designer. A decorator will come and paint your room and do a nice job, whereas an interior designer will find all of those beautiful items to style it for you and put them together to create something stunning. Venue stylists are the interior designers of the wedding world!
There are lots of wedding decoration companies and they tend to do more basic, straight forward weddings - so chair covers, sashes, a simple fishbowl centre piece or something similar. They might have LOVE letters and a candy cart, but it's all very much 'decorating by numbers' and not the sorts of styling that you drool over on Instagram and Pinterest. They don't really involve much creativity, vision or design. Whereas a venue stylist will work closely with you on a personal basis to find out what your dream vision is and bring that to life. I offer a much more bespoke service, have a wider range of items to hire and will source items specially for you if I don't have them. I'm all about making dreams reality!
Absolutely! Love is love as far as I'm concerned and I'm happy to work with any couples who want to celebrate their love. I'm here to help everyone achieve their dream wedding vision and I don't discriminate against age, race, disability, religion, gender, gender identity or sexual orientation so please do get in touch to talk about your wedding plans as I'd love to hear about them.
Don't worry. Honestly, it's quite normal to feel a bit lost or overwhelmed. There are so many stunning images available online of gorgeous weddings that it's no wonder you might be finding it all a bit too much. That's where I come in though as I'm an expert in really getting to the root of what you want and creating a venue styling plan to bring it to life on the day. Do you love more than one style and don't know how to combine them? I do! So you can mix rustic with vintage, boho with elegant - anything you want really! I'll guide you on the perfect way to do it so just let me know and I'll work it all out!
Yes, there's a good chance I can! What you can see on the website is only a small range of what I actually have available. If you have seen something that you would love for your dream day, then please get in touch and ask. Chances are that I already have it, but if I don't then I will look into either buying it and adding it to our stock, or sourcing it from another supplier for you. The beauty of that is that you won't end up juggling lots of different suppliers as I'll manage the third party hire process for you. My range is always expanding too as new things become available to keep up with changing trends.
Absolutely! Some of our couples book me 2 years in advance, and what you liked when you started planning and what you like 6 months before your wedding can change as new trends start up and Instagram and Pinterest become laden with gorgeous new images. I completely understand that weddings develop in a very organic way and I'm really flexible when it comes to changing your styling to suit your updated tastes. That's one of the great thing about the package - it's unlimted, so you can change, add, reduce as much as you like and it doesn't affect the cost! I'll simply update your styling plan and help make sure that you get the wedding of your dreams on the day, not the one you thought you wanted 2 years ago. So, if you want to change your mind about your styling, then you're very welcome to do so.
