Emily’s work is a testament to the truth that the atmosphere and aesthetic of events and spaces should be just as memorable as the people or product being celebrated within them. A celebration, especially a wedding, is a major visual moment that will from then on become imprinted in guest’s memories long after it wraps up. For this reason, investing in a little artistic consideration to define a specific style relevant to you and the times you’re living in you surely cannot go wrong.

The look characterised by monochromatic palettes, and stark, architecturally considered spaces is a modern phenomenon that is bringing forth a new way of approaching weddings of today. Emily’s work thrives off this principle, yet still makes use of the classic, traditional and timeless elements of stationery and event keepsakes that have been associated with weddings for centuries. It’s this interesting combination of hard and soft, light and dark, feminine and masculine, old and new, that is making this styling trend one we are very eager to follow and make the absolute most of as it progresses and makes it emergence into the world of weddings even more.
