WHY I’LL ONLY EVER STYLE 5 WEDDINGS A YEAR, MAX!

Whilst I try and help as many wedding couples as possible have a gorgeous, contemporary, design-led wedding in different ways, there are only so many Full Wedding Styling packages The Joy Eclectic does each year and here’s why…

Responsibility & commitment

Full wedding styling packages are a big time and energy commitment, taking a good chunk of time, headspace and responsibility.

As well as putting in the design hours and sourcing, there are all those times where I’m thinking and daydreaming about a couple’s wedding that aren’t on the clock - you can’t help doing this if you’re fully invested in a creative project!

I’ll see a shot on Instagram, a colour palette idea in nature, a backdrop idea from a theatre set - inspiration collecting is 24/7!


I’m also an event stylist & designer…

So as well as working with Wedding couples in London and beyond, I work with brands and other companies. This means I’m designing, working on creative installations and bespoke projects OUTSIDE of weddings too.

My USP as a stylist is my ability to do bespoke

What makes me stand out from other UK Wedding Stylists is my ability to dream up, design and make high quality bespoke wedding props, decorations, signs and more. which I often get commissions for behind the scenes - from wedding couples but also wedding planners and venues.

My background as an installation artist and set designer means I’ve got the tools and experience (and ideas) to create completely unique elements for your wedding - helping you stand out for the crowd and be remembered (in a good way).

Who I want to work with - why I’m selective

I only want to take on around 5 Full Wedding Styling clients a year MAX to make sure I can serve those clients properly - whether they want bespoke elements or not. This means I only try and work with couples that are a good fit aesthetically, have a suitable budget and are doing a wedding I’m excited to be part of - whether that’s in terms of style, venue, other suppliers etc.

If you’re looking for a traditional, all-white, luxury wedding with chair covers and the like, I’m probably not for you. Equally if you want balloon arches, light up LOVE letters or signs made from Pallets - that’s not my jam either! If you’re into design-led, modern, contemporary weddings full of colour and personality that aren’t afraid to go against that all-too-common ‘luxe’ look, get in touch!


Fancy being one of those wedding couples?

Our design journey together normally starts with a free Zoom call where we work out if full styling is what you need or if you’d like the more affordable option of a Virtual Design Package

Discovery calls are great as they’re a quick and easy way to check our vibes match as well as me suggesting the package that I think will suit your needs the best.

London wedding stylist (primarily)

I do primarily focus on London weddings for full styling as this is where I’m based so can provide everything including setting up on the day - either by me or one of my associate stylists.

To wrap up…

Maybe it’s because of my theatre design background but I see weddings as theatrical productions with lots of different layers, elements and people working together to produce one dream show/day….People (I’m including myself in this) normally work flat out for MONTHS on theatrical productions to WOW their audiences, weddings are no different to me so this is ultimately why it’s about quality NOT quantity of bookings for me!
