I thrive on the challenge of helping couples realise their wedding dreams on realistic budgets and in intimate settings. I hate wasting money on things that aren’t completely necessary and I love a bit of DIY — because it’s the small, personal touches that make your day exactly that… personal.
I’m British, but my family is scattered across the globe. I’m married to a Canadian; Nathan and I have a daughter, Adeline, who has become quite the little sportswoman — I’ll be adding taxi driver and loud swimming mum to my résumé. We also have a son, Edison, who will be turning 8 in May. He’s gorgeous and has more energy than an Energizer Bunny. I’m also a proud dog mum to Bear and Honey, our two rescue Golden Retrievers, who we adopted in September 2025 after losing our three dogs over the course of a few months to old age and illness. It was a tough time, but those two have brought so much joy back into our home. So between my kids, my dogs and my work, there is always something going on!
When I’m not styling weddings, you’ll find me with my friends, at the local community pool or park, or just hanging out at home with the kids. My favourite colour is dark forest green, and I have a slight obsession with house plants and home interiors. I’m drawn to anything a little raw and earthy. Oh, and I also have a deep love of ice cream, wine, and a really good salad — not necessarily in that order.
About My Lovely Wedding
My Lovely Wedding started back in 2012 when I was a bride-to-be and decided to blog about my own personal bridal journey. My story seemed to resonate and the feedback from those original blogs motivated me to continue writing. This motivation, along with the support of so many couples and vendor partners, has enabled me to grow My Lovely Wedding into my dream job. I get to style weddings, play with flowers and make weddings pretty. I have worked with so many wonderful clients over the past few years, and being able to make their weddings come to life is quite possibly the most rewarding part of what I do. Today My Lovely Wedding is not only a wedding blog — it’s a platform for inspiration to others getting married.
My Lovely Wedding focuses on the local wedding industry in Dubai and the UAE and while I look to the global industry for ideas and inspiration, all of my weddings are here. I also keep things personal — working with each bride and couple directly, I try to become the wedding friend you always wanted. I’m here to support, listen, guide and hopefully make the process a little less stressful.
