From the moment I styled my first wedding, I knew I had discovered more than a profession—I had found my passion. As the owner and creative heart behind Wedding Gems, I am driven by the joy of transforming beautiful ideas into unforgettable experiences. Every couple has a unique story, and my purpose is to translate that story into a breathtaking visual celebration that feels personal, meaningful, and effortlessly elegant.

Running Wedding Gems has allowed me to combine creativity, organisation, and genuine care into a service that goes far beyond décor. I approach each event with fresh eyes, listening closely to my clients so I can design a space that reflects who they are and how they want to feel on their special day. Whether it’s crafting intimate, romantic atmospheres or styling lavish, statement-making celebrations, I am dedicated to bringing every vision to life with precision and passion.

I believe that the small details are what create the biggest moments. From bespoke centrepieces to thoughtful finishing touches, I ensure every element works harmoniously to tell a cohesive, beautiful story. My goal is always the same: to create a setting that not only looks stunning but also feels magical—one that leaves couples and their guests with memories that last a lifetime.

Wedding Gems is more than a business to me; it’s a commitment to excellence, creativity, and heartfelt service. Being trusted to help shape one of the most important days in someone’s life is an honour I never take lightly, and it inspires me to pour my full passion into every event I style.

As Branch Manager, I led the branch team to deliver exceptional customer service, achieve commercial targets, and ensure full compliance with banking regulations. I was responsible for overall branch performance, colleague development, and building strong relationships with personal and business customers. Key achievements include:

• Leading a diverse team of customer advisors, service officers and cashiers, providing coaching, performance reviews, and ongoing mentoring.
• Managing daily branch operations, including risk controls, audit standards, cash management, and regulatory compliance.
• Driving sales performance across mortgages, savings, lending, and insurance by supporting advisors and ensuring high-quality customer conversations.
• Building strong local community relationships and representing NatWest at local events to increase brand visibility.
• Making data-driven decisions to improve customer experience, footfall management, and operational efficiency.
