WAYS TO WORK WITH ME
No two celebrations I work on ever look or feel the same, which is why my styling and prop-hire services aren’t shaped around fixed packages. Instead, I work in layers, allowing the styling to evolve naturally as we explore ideas together and shape something that feels entirely your own.
Some arrive with a clear vision, others simply know the feeling they want to create; both are perfect places to begin. Each celebration starts with listening and understanding what matters most to you, creating a visual experience that feels personal and considered.
Alongside working directly with couples and event hosts, I also collaborate with florists and creative teams, offering freelance styling support where needed.
The examples below are simply starting points, always tailored, never off-the-shelf. I take on a limited number of full styling projects each year so each one receives the time and creative focus it deserves. If this feels like the right fit, it’s never too soon to start a conversation.
THE BESPOKE JOURNEY

For those who want their celebration to feel entirely their own. Layered, thoughtful and deeply personal, this is an immersive styling experience where every visual detail is considered from the very beginning (from £2900).
Working closely together, I design and shape the atmosphere of your day, bringing together styling, prop hire and bespoke sourcing into one seamless creative process. It allows you to relax into the experience, knowing the visual story is unfolding with intention and care.
What this experience includes:
