54 INTIMATE VOWS Celebrant Deborah Johnstone says, “As a celebrant I have no constraints or restrictions, plus I tend to be quite imaginative and fun.” Your ceremony will be something you’ll contribute to for a personalised, magical and fun moment no one will forget. Deborah’s job is to listen, encourage you to think outside the box and suggest suitable ways you can include any symbolism that’s important to you, which may stem from spiritual beliefs or something deeply personal to you both Deborah continunes, “Have you always imagined exchanging vows beneath bunting in a woodland, on the Kent coast hearing waves lap the shore, or festival-style in a field? Do you envision people moved to tears of joy or of laughter? Have you dreams of your child being involved, surprising guests with something fun or personal, or incorporating a theme you both love? If this sounds like you and your heart wants to lead the way to an intimate, personal and awesome wedding, as a professional celebrant I follow your lead. I spend hours getting to know you both, which helps us a create a ceremony that avoids (yawn) template services and lets you share an intimate declaration of love.” CONTACT Deborah Johnstone, Embrace Celebrancy www.embracecelebrancy.co.uk https://nicoladawsonphotography.co.uk FLORALLY FABULOUS Sam and her team at Emily&Me know that everyone is an individual so they don’t have any set packages. From choosing each flower to creating hand-dyed ribbons, they aim to create a bespoke experience for each of their couples. Sam explains, “We can commission ironwork to create amazing structures for billowing arches, add your special keepsakes to bouquets and buttonholes and source glassware and props for a setup designed around you.” Where you met, your jobs, loves, hobbies – these elements can all be reflected in your flowers. Think Lego in your table centres or your great granny’s locket attached to your bouquet. Whatever is special to you, it can be incorporated into your day. What’s more, you can talk to Sam about having your big-day blooms preserved in resin after the wedding allowing them to stay beautiful forever.
