THE CALM BRIDE'S
LITTLE BLACK BOOK
RELAXED WEDDING SUPPLIERS
~ THE EXPERTS
WORKING TOGETHER SHOULD FEEL EASY, RELAXED & ENJOYABLE
FROM THE VERY FIRST CONVERSATION TO THE MOMENT YOUR PHOTOGRAPHS ARRIVE
Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of working alongside some incredibly talented wedding suppliers; the kind of people who not only do beautiful work but bring calm, kindness and good energy to a wedding day.
This is my little black book - no YOUR little black book; a collection of trusted suppliers across Sussex, Surrey and destination locations, that I genuinely love working with and would happily recommend to my couples.
People who help your day feel effortless, not overwhelming.
