When your Pinterest Board is overflowing but nothing feels cohesive, it’s not more inspiration you need — it’s a clear, considered direction.

Whether you’re planning your own celebration or marrying abroad, this service creates a clear visual guide that ensures every detail is cohesive and nothing is lost in translation.

 

Our Design Direction Service gives you the creative foundation your entire wedding will follow, ensuring every visual detail works in harmony with your venue, your personality, and the atmosphere you want to create.

We begin by listening to your story, your values, and the experience you want your guests to have. From there, we define a design-led vision that is authentic, cohesive, and personal — avoiding trend-driven styling or Pinterest copies.

Your finished Design Book becomes a trusted guide for you and every creative supplier involved — from florists to photographers — ensuring everyone is working from the same consistent brief. It’s the clarity that reduces overwhelm, saves time, and avoids costly decisions that don’t align with your vision.

our design direction approach

 

We begin with a design questionnaire and detailed wedding design consultation, taking time to understand your personality, values, style preferences, and the atmosphere you want to create. This collaborative process uncovers the details that will make your celebration feel truly personal and visually cohesive.

From here, we craft a bespoke, design-led wedding concept — authentic to you, never copied from Pinterest or driven by fleeting trends. Every element is considered and intentional, designed to work beautifully within your chosen venue, season, and guest experience.

Your final concept is presented in a comprehensive Design Book, featuring:

  • Detailed moodboards for your key styling areas

     

  • A refined colour palette

     

  • Thoughtful, personalised design ideas that connect your venue with your style

     

The Design Book also includes styling notes — a clear, supplier-ready visual and written guide to share with your florist, venue, and other creative partners. This ensures every supplier is aligned with your vision from the very beginning, making the planning process smoother and the end result more cohesive.

Working with Corrie was one of the few elements of wedding planning that was totally smooth & hassle free; I’ll always be grateful to her for that

Thank you for all of the planning that was made before the day and for how quickly you adapted the many “final” seating plan changes that I sent you!
