In this episode I speak to Alice Wilkes. A Wedding & Event planner who decided to combine design with the service that she offers in the world of Luxury Weddings & Events.

I came across Alice when I saw Pixie Lott's beautiful wedding. Alice was responsible for the planning and design for all of this and I have to say it's one of the most beautiful weddings I've ever seen. It was captured by Katie Julia whose work I really admire and I feel like it's going to inspire lots of brides for the next couple of years.

We talk about Pixie Lott's wedding but also how Alice started her business and how it's grown so quickly despite Covid & Lockdowns. I loved hearing all about the process that Alice goes through and I enjoyed picking her brains about her predictions for the wedding world in 2023 too.

Below are the links for Alice's Website & Instagram where you will find so much inspiration....

In this episode I am speaking to Celebrity Stylist Nana. You might know Nana from seeing her on the TV.......she was in the fabulous You Are What You Wear and she hosted some of the fashion segments on This Morning during lockdown.  However, it's her work behind the scenes for which she is most well known in the industry.  Styling for celebrities, actors &  musicians such as Ed Sheeran, Little Mix and One Direction (she was the stylist on their season of Xfactor too!) Nana has been working as a stylist for over a decade, working her way up from an intern.

Nana is currently working as the stylist for the popular Fabulous Magazine (the supplement in the Sun Newspaper) and therefore works with all of the celebrities that are in the public eye right now. I was so keen to hear about the life of a stylist, what it involves and do you get star struck!?....

This is such a great chat and Nana had lots of great tips to share. Her Instagram is full of inspiration and had me shopping for colour and feeling excited to try new combinations.

I'm back for Season 2 and during this season I am speaking to some of my favourite people within the wedding industry too.

Being a Wedding Photographer, I thought that I would speak to some of the wonderful people that I have met over the years but still keep it 'fashion' My hope is that it will be really helpful for new brides but also that  existing listeners will still enjoy it because we chat about how fashion has shaped and influenced their lives and career paths.

Kate was a real joy to speak to and has the most wonderful ability to put people at ease. She really knows her stuff but explains everything in the most simple terms so that you could never feel intimidated in any way.

We chat about what to consider before visiting and I think that there are so many things that you may be surprised to hear.  Kate not only dresses brides but she also gets quite emotionally involved which I absolutely love about her.
