WHAT I DO
I’ve always believed that the beauty of an event lies in how it feels, the atmosphere, the textures, the sense that everything just belongs. That’s what I create through styling and curated décor hire.
I style weddings and events across the Lake District, Cumbria and beyond, weaving together my curated prop collection, layered textures, and a touch of understated theatre to create spaces that feel deeply personal and beautifully memorable.
Whether you’re planning a wedding, milestone celebration, launch party or editorial shoot, I offer flexible décor hire, on-the-day styling support, and full styling services. I work seamlessly with florists, planners, and creative teams, focusing on the decorative details that bring each story to life.
When florists invite me to collaborate, I work quietly in the wings, perfecting, positioning, and finessing every element: draping fabrics, aligning candles, balancing textures, ensuring the whole setting feels effortlessly harmonious.
HOW TO BOOK:
Simply get in touch with your venue and date, and I’ll check availability before arranging a time to chat through your plans. From there, we’ll tailor a service that fits you perfectly, whether that’s full styling or a few carefully chosen pieces from my collection.
MEET DEBORAH
Hello, I’m Deborah, the hands and heart behind Deborah Maria.
My path to styling wasn’t a straight one. It began in the world of dance and theatre, where I first discovered how space, light and the textures of fabric and set design can transform not just how something looks, but how it feels. Later, I managed my family’s hair salon while studying events and hospitality, a mix that taught me a lot about people, presentation, and creating an experience that feels considered.
Eventually, those threads of creativity and design came together when I found my way to styling weddings and events. I began my journey alongside Janet Wilde of Wilde & Romantic, and when she retired, I had the privilege of continuing the beautiful work she started.
Today, Deborah Maria brings together styling and a curated décor collection for couples, event hosts, florists, and creative professionals. Whether I’m setting a table, layering linens, styling florals, or sourcing the perfect finishing touches, I work quietly behind the scenes to ensure every detail feels authentic, refined, and true to your story.
If that sounds like what you need, I’d love to hear from you.
MY VALUES
My commitment to the environment shapes everything I do, from the way I source materials to how I run my studio. I believe in working in harmony with the landscape around me, supporting the local economy, and helping preserve the rich creative heritage of our community here in the Lake District, Cumbria. Wherever possible, I collaborate with local florists, artisans, and craftspeople who share the same respect for nature and craft.
Many of the pieces in my hire collection are vintage, refurbished, or made from natural materials. Sustainability isn’t just a trend to me, it’s woven into every decision, from choosing ethical suppliers to reusing, repairing, and repurposing wherever I can.
I’ve minimised single-use plastics within the studio and set up easy recycling systems for all materials. Wherever possible, I work with florists who use seasonal British flowers and who share my commitment to environmentally conscious design.
You’ll never find floral foam in my work, it’s a non-biodegradable microplastic and simply has no place in the natural world we’re lucky enough to call home. I often use growing plants in my styling, which are always repurposed or replanted after each event.
