Sometimes something just happens and it takes your

Sometimes something just happens and it takes your breath away! This was one such moment with @flowers_at_fifty_eight we had loosely talked about what we wanted to happen but it was very much a case of build and improvise on the day. .
.
If your looking for a styled wedding I would definitely recommend finding suppliers that have previously worked together and that naturally click. Bigger installation pieces often require and element of improvisation and working on the spot and if your suppliers are all working to the same mantra then the process runs a hell of a lot smoothly!

Weddings kick off in Feb and I’m looking forward to dusting off the chalkboards for some sign action. .
.
How’s everyone’s weekend been? Hubby took me away for the night as a belated birthday present and today we have been getting very wet in the search for monkeys and meerkats, the latter refused to leave their comfy beds to say hi. Wedding free weekends are best spent with family! .

Thinking Green-

Today I met @greensoulweddings for cake and we got discussing being ethical and environmentally friendly, pretty on topic as Trump has called green campaigners ‘prophets of doom’ 🤦‍♀️ today. So Hannah and I today got into the deepest darkest depths of what it means to us to be ‘green’. Personally I am not sure turning vegan and flying over millions of avocados is the way forward. To me it’s about looking locally, supporting local businesses, buying local produce and reusing. We can be more ethically aware in so many ways and it’s such a minefield for businesses full of so many opinions. -

So what does being greener mean for you? -

Happy Sunday lovers! Hasn’t the sun been amazing

Happy Sunday lovers! Hasn’t the sun been amazing today, I feel like we haven’t seen it in a while. Venue walk arounds, a yummy roast cooked by the hubby and winter walks. What Sundays were made for! What’s your Sunday had in store? .
.
One of the most important things I do as a stylist is to take pressure and stress away from my couples. On the day of their wedding they can relax knowing that their venue will be lovingly styled to their vision. .

Small styling additions can make all the difference. Break up the room, crest a little atmosphere and inject your own style. Those little added details won’t go over looked. .
Brass Trays styled with hurricane lanterns and brass vessels filled with greenery helped add that extra relaxed vibe to this bohemian vibes tipi wedding.

Sooo excited to have a few of these pics drop into my inbox this morning 😍😍😍 My last wedding of 2019 was a stunner, with all the Christmas feels! .
To make this acrylic table plan pop I hung a spruce branch behind, to really tie the whole look together and carrying on continuity from the tables. .
Thanks Kerri and Steve for trusting me with your day! .

I maybe a little late to the party but 2019 has taken a little digesting. From some tough lows to amazing highs it was a roller coaster of a ride that flew past in a blink. .
I’ve uploaded a new blog post recapping 2019 with the link in bio.

The first dance always gives me goose bumps. Surrounded by the ones you love but also feeling totally alone just the 2 of you. An island on the dance floor!
Looking forward to hooking up with @nikkitapdesigns to work on some more collaborative hire collections such as this rustic letter styled backdrop. As part of the @the.eclectic.collection

Where’s your happy place? Mine is out in the countryside, in the fresh air. My perfect day would be finding the ideal picnic spot surrounded by trees where you feel like your the only people on earth! Where you you can really breath and the only noise is from the birds.
.
The countryside and its survival has always been so important to me, despite now living in a new build I spent years campaigning as a child to save the countryside around where I lived. So when I sent the email to @forest_centre today letting them know I would be donating 9 trees to their 2020 tree planting a huge smile was on my face! I think the younger campaigner in me would be proud! .
With every ‘ A helping hand’ styling package booked that meets the minimum hire spend requirement I will donate a tree to The Forest of Marston Vale in the hope that one day I will be able to say we have planted a woods! So that Little D will be able to enjoy unspoilt picnics in the fresh air.

Real Weddings! The great thing about a quieter few months means I have time to track down all the photos from previous weddings. So much real wedding spam coming your way over the next few months! .
Throwing it back to C & As wedding at @chilternoam filled with natural, wild florals and greenery from @thenagundotree 😍😍
.
Team TWE we’re on hand to fully style the barn and marque and make sure everything was as the couple had visioned, as well as hiring brass vessels, signage, chalkboards, festoon lights and a DIY bar station. The next day we returned and took it all away. Less stress on your wedding day and the day after! .

2019 may forever be known as the year of the brass

2019 may forever be known as the year of the brass candle stick. After buying every brass candle stick in the Bedfordshire area I have a very substantial collection so when 100 left TWE HQ back in October it made all those months scouring junk and charity shops worthwhile. .
.
Thanks for sending me pics L & N, I love the mix of coloured candles and the thick greenery.

This wedding was stunning from start to finish. Every little detail was thought of and it was an absolute joy to style. .
Don’t make your place names an after thought, they can really alter the look of a place setting and the feel of a table. @loupaper_ calligraphy work is stunning and perfected the look with the animal card holders 😍😍😍

Way before I was even engaged let alone had a styling business a friend and I used to browse the pages of Love My Dress saving our favourite images and day dreaming of the stunning dresses. It’s where my leave of Pronovias was born and led me to the dress I would wear on my own big day. .
I am very excited that this real wedding is on @lovemydress and is ticking off one of my business goals! L&J dry hired brass candle sticks and vessels, linen and chiffon table runners, Persian rugs, ribbon hoops and so much more and they did such an amazing job with the styling I am totally in love.

It is only when you stop that you truly appreciate

It is only when you stop that you truly appreciate how tired you were! I was aiming to be doing a little work in this Christmas/ New Year gap but I’ve realised just how tired I was in the build up to Christmas and with Little D being a bed time Diva evenings have literally been about collapsing on the sofa. Also fully engrossed in The second series of You! It’s a must watch Netflixers!
I hope everyone had a lovely Christmas and they to are making the most of the post Xmas lull. .

Merry Christmas!

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! I love love love Christmas, Christmas Eve is packed full of traditions here, a whistle stop tour around Bedford handing out gifts, Christmas carols and a glass of fizz or 4! Last minute wrapping and cross fingers for an early night! .
This year you will find me tackling to build Little D a wooden kitchen! .
I loved this festive shoot from last year, full of luxe details and warm tones! Who saw my latest blog for magpie weddings about winter wedding styling. Link in bio.

Oh My 2019 what a year you have been! From putting

Oh My 2019 what a year you have been! From putting on my big girl pants at the start of the year and deciding between taking the plunge and making The White Emporium my main income or giving up and returning to a 9-5 to having THE BEST YEAR EVER and being able to call this crazy world I live in my job! I am so pleased I was faced with that decision and I found some inner strength to carry on. This year has been full of ups and downs, sleepless nights, achey backs, dirty hands, unwashed hair, late nights emailing, early morning starts, beautiful couples and lots of laughter. There are so many people I need to be thankful to and I hope they all know they are.
.
I’m also going to add it’s not surprise Little D makes the cut and most of these pics are pre Insta algorithms screwing everyone’s feeds up. Featured pics are from myself, @themontoyacollective @samueldockerphotography @nikkismoments @lolarosephotos .

2019 that’s almost a wrap! .
.
A couple of dry hires to finish and then it’s unlimited mince pies and Prosecco until the new year! .
.
2019 has been better than I ever could have expected and a huge thank you to all my couples who have trusted the look of their venue in my hands. I have loved every wedding and they have all been so different! .
.
I will be taking some much needed time off over Christmas but I will be on emails and I know I have some quotes, maps and design plans outstanding but they will be making their way over the next few weeks!

Wow what a way to end 2019! With this beautiful festive @southfarm1 wedding! I loved it! Super Christmassy in all the right ways.
It was a long setup, followed by a room turn around but we transformed the Tudor barn with fairy lights, drapes, @esteranderik candles and all the candle light. Hanging greenery created by @haloblossom. Thanks @nikkitapdesigns for your help and for feeding me 😂 looking forward to seeing the pics @jamesfearphotography they are going to be gorgeous! .
