Now here's some information from Chloe on how you can get in touch and produce the wedding style you want:

“Fresh, personal and chic wedding styling to help you create your perfect DIY wedding.”

I believe that with care, attention and creativity you can create the elegant, glamorous or vintage wedding you want. It doesn’t all have to cost the earth, my services are designed to help you do-it-yourself and craft a stylish wedding you’ll love.

Wedding Design – a perfect engagement present to get your wedding planning started! Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed with ideas or struggling to find inspiration to style your wedding, this service will utilise my expertise in wedding design and creativity to identify and create your individual wedding style and theme.

In the first meeting we will discuss your ideas and preferences and get to know each other! I’ll seek to understand your personalities and tastes as a couple to make suggestions that fit with your plans.
After this session I will produce two wedding style concepts through inspiration boards that include colour palettes and creative detailing ideas to achieve your perfect look.

I will also provide a list of trusted suppliers to achieve the look to save you time in sourcing it all yourself and enjoy being in control!

Creative / DIY wedding – You want a wedding that has been crafted with love and attention that is personal to you? This service will help you design and create the elements of your wedding that make it special. It can also be a lot of fun and a great way of involving your friends and family in the wedding planning process.

We’ll meet to discuss your thoughts, talk through viable DIY options given your time, budget and skills and I’ll bring examples and lots of creative ideas. I’ll then bring back a proposal with as much information as you need, from suppliers, craft workshops or party ideas, tutorials to make at home, etc.

Venue Search - This is one of the hardest decisions as it influences the design and ambience of your wedding and it has to live up to your dream wedding vision.

From an initial meeting I will learn about your budget and requirements to use my trusted contacts and experience to find suitable wedding venues to save you time and hard work in finding relevant options.

I will come back with a proposal of three venues with full details, costings, photographs and potential styling ideas that would work well to help you choose the right venue. I can also provide my professional opinion to help you thinking through all the pros and cons of each venue.

Wedding Styling - perhaps you have your venue, the photographer and the dress, and a vision of how you want your perfect day to look but struggling to pull it all together and make it happen? This service is all about the details of the venue decoration and table styling.

After an initial meeting and a venue visit I will provide a detailed list of styling suggestions, including costs, suppliers and DIY ideas. I will also provide lots of tablescape ideas and can do a table mock up on request.

Creative Photo Shoots - have fun creating photo’s to cherish forever e.g. a pre-wed engagement shoot or a ‘rock the dress’ shoot! The photo shoot is designed specially for you to have some fun on your own, with your husband, friends or family, it’s up to you! I can help you style a glamorous and individual photo shoot to produce gorgeous photo’s you can cherish. I’ll source a location, photographer, props, hair and make up so you just get to enjoy yourself!

Prices start at £150 and bespoke packages are available on consultation.
