Your Kent Wedding - January/February 2024 (Issue 112)

ELIZABETH ANNE NORRIS JEWELLERY, AWARDWINNING JEWELLERY DESIGNER ELIZABETH SAYS… About the company Elizabeth Anne Norris offers ‘make your own wedding ring’ workshops, just outside Sevenoaks in Kent. As well as this, consumers have an array of sustainably made jewellery collections to choose from. Her unique jewellery designs are handmade in recycled precious metals for the ecoconscious jewellery lover; pick your choice of sustainably made wedding rings which will be made to order and shipped directly to you, or select a beautiful piece of nature or romance jewellery from your favourite collection as a gift for a special occasion. Finally, you can commission a unique piece of bespoke jewellery with Elizabeth, as well as have one-to-one jewellery tuition at the workshop. The finishing touch “It often surprises me how some couples place finding the wedding rings way down on the priority list when planning their wedding. To me, the wedding rings and the exchange of them on the day symbolises the most important thing between couples: their love for each other. Of all the things you pick out for your big day, the wedding rings are the thing that remain far beyond your special day. You may have found the perfect venue, the most flattering attire, drop-dead gorgeous flowers and mouthwatering food but, in my humble opinion, your rings complete your ceremony. “At Elizabeth Anne Norris jewellery you can make your own wedding rings using recycled gold or silver. You’ll be guided step by step to make unique rings that you can personalise with a name, date or message inside − this adds an extra layer of sentiment to these symbols of love. “If making your own rings doesn’t appeal, I also offer many unique wedding ring designs to choose from on my website. And if none of these sustainably made rings appeal, I can create them from scratch using your design ideas. “Make eco-conscious wedding rings the finishing touch to your earthfriendly wedding!” Visit www.eanjewellery.com | @eanjewellery DAISY’S FLOWER PRESERVATION, FLOWER PRESERVATION SPECIALIST, KATE SAYS… About the company “At Daisy’s Flower Preservation we can preserve your bouquet, buttonhole, or a variety of other flowers and frame them, so that you can enjoy them for years to come. So instead of tossing that carefully designed bouquet, contact us for the most beautiful wedding keepsake! The finishing touch “Your florist will do an amazing job of making your flowers look perfect for your big day, but what happens to them when the lights go down? All the thought, decision making and care (not to mention money!) makes it a great shame for them to be so temporary; preserving them after the big day in a beautiful frame will be a life-long keepsake.” Visit www.facebook.com/daisysimpressed | @daisysflowerpreservation Rings Flower preservation Venue maps and illustrations EMILYSDESIGNS, AN ILLUSTRATION LED DESIGN STUDIO SPECIALISING IN BESPOKE STATIONERY, EMILY SAYS… About the company “I’m Emily, owner and creative director at emilyssdesign, an illustration-led design studio from my small art room in Kent! I specialise in bespoke wedding stationery, illustrations, prints and original artworks. Your wedding stationery could consist of save the dates, invitations, name cards, table numbers, table plans, welcome signs, just to name a few and I can cater for all of these! The finishing touch “Being an illustration-led studio, I love to portray magical moments through drawings. This comes through a lot in my wedding stationery designs in which venues and maps are very prominent. I always find it easier to draw rather than write, so I rely on my drawings to transport people through to the final destination. I often say that wedding venue drawings and maps are the perfect keepsakes for your special day, and I believe this will always be true. Not only can you have these on your wedding invitations, seeing a drawing of your venue or map will generate excitement for everyone receiving it in anticipation for your event, but once the day is over, you can have them as prints to encapsulate the magical feelings you had that day – almost as if they’re frozen in time. The drawing will be a moment in history which can be passed through generations as a family heirloom bringing a smile to everyone that sees it. “The happiness of your wedding day doesn’t have to last just for that one day, the drawings will create memorable forever keepsakes of the amazing celebration of love.” Visit www.emilyssdesign.com | @emilyssdesign 58
