The B Word Of Weddings - BESPOKE

Written By Rebecca Uttley

Bespoke is one of those words that crops up everywhere and begins to lose meaning - it’s garnered such an elastic definition it’s no surprise it gets misused. Bespoke burger? Hold the pickles please Burger King. Bespoke this, bespoke that...and at the root of it all, a license to automatically whack an extra cost onto something.

Our Book of Love directory - the other fantastic B word in the wedding industry - is full to the brim with the UK’s best modern wedding suppliers offering truly bespoke services – it’s what sets them apart from your run-of-the-mill wedding businesses, and sprinkles Un-Wedding magic throughout your big day.

 

YOUR theme, YOUR style, YOUR vibe.

Nearly every single Book of Love supplier offers a bespoke service literally, like no other. Bespoke stationery of course, bespoke engagement rings, and bespoke wedding day attire.

This is the beauty of hiring an independent supplier. They do this because they love it!

No printers firing out the same old same old’s – blah invites (enough with the eucalyptus leaves already!)… no companies supplying corporate-looking elasticated chair covers… you get an independent supplier with dedicated attention to your details.

You don’t have to be creative to collaborate.

Not the creative types? Would love to DIY it but don’t know where to start?

That’s where creative suppliers come in - Bright & bold wedding stationery, unique wedding attire, wedding super-stylists who are more affordable than you think - that kind of thing.

Your wedding wouldn’t be an Un-Wedding without your vibe, and it makes sense to meet a supplier who can really shine a light on those parts of your personality that you want to bring to life!

All bespoke services start with a consultation and these creative folk know how to help you understand what you want, and gently guide you towards making big decisions about the look and feel of your day.

DIRTY FRENCH GIRL - Genderless jewellery

Aside from one of the best brand names ever, Chloe the quirky brains behind the brand crafts handmade designer jewellery that is eye-catching, a tad cheeky and stylish.

WHAT MAKES THIS BESPOKE? A Zoom or coffee meet-up kicks off the process and you sketch ideas out together. She handmakes your jewellery, working with raw metals or hand carving.

WHAT MAKES THIS BESPOKE? One of our Book of Love members, Roxy Celebrates Love explains it perfectly:

“I create authentic, original, love-filled, fun wedding ceremonies that put YOU, the couple, at the forefront, celebrating YOUR love. I work alongside you as we co-create a beautiful, heartfelt, and bespoke marriage ceremony that is all about you, your values, your stories, and your love. I believe that the ceremony itself should be the beating heart of a wedding, front and centre”.
