What do you love most about your job: I absolutely love helping a bride find the dress of their dreams. That special moment when a bride realises they have found “the one” is such a magical moment. I feel extremely honoured to be a special part of a brides journey with her guests and making people happy makes me so happy!

Most embarrassing moment: I was on a long-haul flight and the gentleman next to me in the aisle seat had fallen into a really deep sleep.

I have never gone so red in all my life, and we still had hours of the journey to go!

Celeb Crush: Richard Madden

Describe your Wedding Dress: A strapless fit and flare with beautiful lace and beading. I then had off the shoulder sleeves which were made for me. So special to make the dress my own!
