ECO WOOD RINGS https://ecowoodrings.com | @ecowoodrings Formed from the wood of fallen trees and forest flirtations, the history of Eco Wood Rings is a heart-warming tale of romance and doing things differently. When business owner Steve decided to propose to Laura, he knew he wanted to break the mould of choosing a classic diamond engagement ring. It wasn’t just the staggering cost but more to do with his dissatisfaction with the idea of buying a certain style of ring made from certain precious materials, simply because that’s what society as come to accept as normal. Realising that Laura was no ordinary girl, Steve started looking into alternatives that would suit her eco-conscious outlook, and soon came up with the idea of designing a wooden engagement ring specifically for her. It was this experience that inspired the couple to set up Eco Wood Rings in early 2012. They now relish the challenge of helping others to create something naturally beautiful that reflects their planet-friendly values and tells their own unique story. Charlotte Gray, self-confessed marketing and customer service ninja says, “We believe wholeheartedly in our commitment to producing natural, ethical and sustainable jewellery with the least impact possible on the environment. We work closely with our customers to help them design and realise their dream forever rings and produce beautifully bespoke pieces to be worn with pride, always!” FOREVER BOUQUET FINE ART www.foreverbouquet.co.uk | @foreverbouquet_art Too in love with your bridal bouquet to ever let it go?

This is where the concept for Forever Bouquet began.” Flowers can hold deep sentimental value, serving as a reminder of significant moments in our lives. Their beauty symbolises the enduring essence of love, happiness and meaningful connections, while a painting of the blooms closest to your heart captures them in a unique, artistic way, immortalising their delicate details and colours forever.
