Our style and values

What inspires me when planning

My client’s truly inspire me, and it’s so important that we’re a great fit. We work closely together with myself as the lead planner and go-to for your wedding and event suppliers, and therefore it’s essential that you feel comfortable with me, trusting not just who I am, but also connecting with my natural style.

This is a collaborative journey where we bounce ideas off each other, making the entire process fun, creative, and enjoyable. Exactly how it should be.

I’m constantly browsing the latest fashion magazines, interiors, and dreaming up fresh ideas. I love offering thoughtful suggestions to shape a design that reflects your vision and personality. We can then create and produce an event that’s completely and uniquely you.

Signature style

My personal style is best described as ‘quiet luxury’, yes I know it’s a bit of a buzz word at the moment but it’s one that resonates. I believe that if you’re going to do, or have something, it should be done well and never compromise on the quality. Understated rather than lavish is my personal preference, so if that aligns with you then let’s chat.

I adore using colour and pattern in design to bring in playful elements, and curate your design with great care and detail to ensure it all works in harmony.

Personally I love a party and think it’s something that should be a big focus of any celebration. Our plans take you and your guests on a journey throughout the event, building the energy and excitement as the day unfolds. By the time the dance floor is revealed, everyone’s fully in the vibe and ready to let loose for the best night of their lives.

Finally, if I had to choose one thing that could be banned from weddings it would be disposable flip-flops. Please get some amazing trainers instead!

Where did the name Salt and Scent Events come from?

“Salt” symbolises the essence of the earth, grounding us in sustainable practices, while “Scent” represents the unforgettable memories we create for each event. We encourage all our clients to choose a wedding scent; personal favourites are collections from Le Labo, Roja, and Jo Malone. They all smell incredible and fill a space with a dreamy scent that will evoke memories for years to come.

We do our best to source suppliers that share our values, and our home office is now powered by solar, so every email, and planning document printed comes with a touch of ‘solar love’. We understand that weddings will not be fully sustainable, but by selecting florists that don’t use floral foam, and caterers where food is responsibly sourced we can help to do our bit for the planet.

When do you start the design process?

We tend to start the design process no earlier than 12 months out. I know that you will want to start this asap, but I promise you that your style will evolve, new suppliers and items come to the market, and we want to make sure that you have exactly what you dreamt of on the day and not something you’ve grown tired of. We’re not saying you need to follow the latest trends, but consider how quickly styles change. When I started out in the industry it was all about chair covers – I’ll leave it there.

Dreamy wedding locations

We love properties with a story behind them and particularly historic country houses, stately homes and if there is space for a marquee too, that’s even better. We have a wealth of experience working with marquees at private homes and exclusive hire properties that provides the flexibility and endless options.

Our availability

We have chosen to commit to a small number of full planning clients each year to ensure we have the dedicated time to plan your incredible celebration.
