MEET THE EDITOR
Hello! I’m Leanne, Chief Editor and Owner of Wedding Essentials.
I started Wedding Essentials in September 2022, drawing on my own experiences as a four-time bridesmaid and maid of honour. I realised that there was a lack of practical advice available for these roles and decided to create a comprehensive resource to help others in similar situations.
As a bridal gift boutique owner and bride-to-be myself, I felt confident that I could offer a unique and valuable perspective on all aspects of weddings. My aim with Wedding Essentials is to be your go-to source for practical information, whilst also providing inspiration from colour schemes, styles and more!
