Describe your business in five words? 

Luxury gifts for country lovers

When and why did you start your business?

I started the business in 2010 because of the love of feathers. Growing up in the countryside, I ate a lot of pheasant and would see beautiful feathers being thrown away.  I wanted to use the feathers and turn them into luxury products that would last forever.

What do you love most about the work you do?

Showcasing the natural beauty of feathers, the colours and the iridescence. I love the response people have when they first see our feather products.

How can your service/product complement a couple's special day?

The feather photo frames look stunning with the cocktail list in at the bar and on the tables with the wedding dinner menu in.  The white goose feathers fit particularly well to the bridal theme and the neutral hones of the duck add a touch of chic.  The feather frames and place-mats make fantastic wedding gifts too.  They all come exquisitely presented in black and cream boxes making them ideal for special occasions.

If you could live anywhere in the world where would it be and why?

Anywhere by the sea, I never get bored of the twinkling colours of the water and hearing the waves.

And finally, what is your ‘one’ top tip you can give to a bride and groom?

Continue to invest in your relationship after your married, go on dates, spoil each other and importantly eat dinner at the table not in front of the TV so you can talk properly and laugh together daily.

Fresh, alternative, modern, bespoke, design

What do you love most about the work you do? 

We love working with people to bring them great design that they couldn’t simply pick up off the shelf. As we create bespoke designs it’s wonderful knowing that you are making something unique for a couple’s big day.

If you could live anywhere in the world where would it be and why?

Barcelona, I have been there a few times with Ben (my boyfriend and fellow Dearly Beloved Designer) and we absolutely love it. Such a great mix of creative culture, the excitement of the city and good weather, and all by the beach!

Do you have any funny wedding stories or moments to tell? 

I don’t! How boring? Since we send all the stationery to couples before the big day everything goes to plan!

Besides weddings, what else do you love? 

I’m really in love with 20th century design, in Art and everything else. You can’t beat a good beehive and dancing to soul music.
