What’s your favourite part of your job?
Wow so many things….. I get to spend my days travelling to quaint little country towns, treasure hunting for beautiful vintage pieces, what could be better than that? All my clients are embarking on the happiest time of their lives, it is really special to be able to share that time with them.
What are you reading at the moment?
My French Life by Vicki Archer. Not so much reading but looking at the pictures with envy!
What are you lusting after at the moment?
A gorgeous 1950s cocktail dress on www.lovemissdaisy.com – a UK site that sells amazing vintage frocks.
Top three songs on your play list?
The Hotel Costes series on random shuffle,
L.O.V.E. by Nat King Cole
and anything by Hall and Oates (sad but true!).
What is your favourite moment during a wedding?
The anticipation right before the bride is about to enter. It’s the culmination of all that preparation, it’s that one magic moment in a wedding when it’s all about the bride... the atmosphere is electric!
Who inspires you?
All the gorgeous artisans I get to work with, other stylists, photographers, catering geniuses that make each wedding so personal and truly stunning. The creativity and style within the boutique wedding space is amazing and they are all such wonderful people. And Parisians who are so stylish even if they are only popping out for milk and bread.
Favourite Cocktail?
If it’s the beginning of the night, French champagne. If it’s close to the end of the night, an Espresso Martini, so that it’s not almost the end of the night anymore.
What does it take to impress you?
People who are true to themselves and forge their path by doing what they love to do, not what they think they should.
What is the best piece of advice you were ever given?
Happiness is up to you.
Favourite way to spend a Sunday?
A slow breakfast at a small café, coffee and baked eggs reading both Sunday papers cover to cover, a drive through the countryside listening to jazz, discovering unexpected treasures at flea markets or small country towns, followed by a big Sunday roast and red wine with friends.
Black Tie or Casual?
Black Tie always
Your suggestion for a new name for ‘Hens party’.
I wish I had one. ‘Hen’s party’ just conjures up terrible images of stretch Hummers, sparkly pink veils, sambuca shots and bad strippers. I love that ladies are now hosting a High Tea for Bridal Showers and Kitchen Teas, it is such an elegant way to celebrate.
Your favourite hostess gift to give?
French Champagne.
What’s the best gift you have ever received?
My antique emerald and diamond engagement ring from a small antique store in Paris. It makes me smile every time I look at it.
Three words that describe you best.
Champagne and red lipstick.
