Our role in your celebrations can be at short notice or begin long before the actual day. Wherever you are in your planning, we engage in detailed discussions with you to understand your vision, preferences, and expectations.
We implore couples to support small businesses and advocate reinventing old, treasured, crafted, and unique items for timeless, themed, eclectic, or nostalgically romantic weddings and events. With an overflowing heart and soul, we put everything into our 'one-stop wedding hub' for planning, decor, and flowers and pass this love on to you with abundance.
Reduce the stress, time, and overwhelming feelings of your wedding planning by booking a discovery meeting to chat about how our expertise, passion, and services can assist you both.

Background:
BA Hons Arts degree |visual merchandiser | photographer |hospitality management |interior design.
The magic of my role in your event journey is to see the memory making unfold and the coming together of your loved ones in spaces that are designed for their experience.
I am committed to excellent customer service, exceeding expectations and treating every client like a dear and valued friend.
The thrill of finding a vintage treasure hidden in a charity shop or yard sale quickly developed into a keen hobby; my aim to fill our grade II listed family home with an abundance of history whilst meticulously renovating it. I now know these desires to have stemmed from a childhood spent in antique shops with my parents, together with an inherited love of the finery of afternoon tea that my nana Dolly passed on to me! Being a single mum of three it soon became clear that our little cottage just couldn't hold anymore 'treasures' and I realised that my passion had in fact, led to borderline hoarding. It’s true light bulb moments do happen, I had a feeling others would want ‘vintage’ in their lives too so….
Dolly's was born and I didn't have to part with a thing!
Who knew that 15 years later, still obsessed with reinventing old treasured items, the collection of carefully curated historical props would still be used for creating precious family celebrations and unforgettable events. Continually growing and changing with the times, but always designed uniquely and reflective of your story.
