Based in Derbyshire with the beautiful peak district on my doorstep it's easy to see why I love the outdoors and nature so much. This is where I was born and grew up, and I firmly believe there is nothing quite like the English countryside.
I have travelled and seen a lot of the world and spent 7 years living in Sydney, Australia, which is where I met my husband. My love of the outdoors was cemented further living so close to the ocean and I do now miss the water when it's not close by.
My life and my style are very much influenced by my time in Australia. This is definitely where a lot of my inspiration for beautiful outdoor weddings comes from, a fusion of Australian and English influences coming together to create an eclectic mash up of vintage glamour and sustainable elegance.

I love helping couples plan and design their Dream Wedding
I started Willow and Rust Weddings after planning my own wedding and realising how harmful to the planet the average wedding actually is. The Wedding Industry globally is huge, and I feel passionately that we must help both couples and suppliers make more eco-conscious choices. I love searching for and using vintage pieces in my styling and I am constantly upcycling and repurposing items to add to my hire collection. All of this together has evolved into my own unique style, ‘Glamorous Vintage meets Sustainable Elegance’.
