What's your background and why did you launch your business?
While on furlough during the pandemic, I found that I was expressing myself more artistically and decided to take the leap and start my own business. We initially started out by producing items that I had worked with for a number of years at previous jobs and quickly diversified into other items and wedding stationary. I previously produced and designed my own stationary for my wedding in November 2019 and had always wanted to consider starting a business in this industry.

What's your favourite type of wedding to work on?
I like to work on small, intimate weddings, where the personality of the couple really shows through; I think this is because of the wedding that we planned for ourselves. I find that clients that aren't afraid to show off their personalities are the best to work with as it gives me a lot of scope.

What's your top tip for choosing wedding stationery?
Find a colour scheme to fit in with you, your venue and the wedding as a whole. It's very easy to be distracted by something incredibly intricate and detailed, most of which wouldn't be picked up on by your guests. Also, try to stick to your budget.

Celebrant vs registrar vs humanist celebrant: what's the difference?

Celebrant vs registrar vs humanist celebrant: What's the difference? Ceremony Master explains... Choosing who will lead your wedding ceremony is an important decision, but understanding the difference between a registrar, an independent celebrant and a humanist celebrant can help you decide what's right for your day. From the legal requirements of getting married to creating a personal, meaningful ceremony that reflects your relationship, each option offers something different. A registrar takes care of the legal civil marriage, while an independent celebrant can create a bespoke ceremony tailored to your story, preferences and values. A humanist celebrant also leads a personal ceremony, but one rooted in humanist beliefs and a non-religious outlook. The important distinction is that not every celebrant is authorised to legally marry a couple, and the rules vary across the UK

Modern wedding rituals revealed as Brits bury sausages for the big day

Modern wedding rituals revealed as Brits bury sausages for the big day

For decades, the British wedding has followed a well-known rulebook of etiquette, from formal seating plans to three tier cakes. However, new research from Moonpig, the UK's leading online greeting card and gift retailer, has revealed that the nation is moving away from these traditions in favour of highly personal and often quirky rituals. The study of 1,500 Brits reveals that authenticity is winning over tradition. Six in ten (59%) believe a wedding should be a true reflection of the couple's personalities, even if it means breaking classic wedding etiquette. To ensure their day feels truly unique, many are turning to unconventional superstitions and spiritual services. Over one in five (22%) Brits said they have buried or would consider burying a sausage to guarantee good weather on their wedding day. Meanwhile, over a third (39%) would consider hiring an 'Etsy witch' or similar spiritualist to provide blessing rituals for their big day.
