Why I Do What I Do
"Starting my combined mastery arose from witnessing too many getting stressed, trying to pull together a cohesive look from five different vendors. Weaving together my skills in celebrancy, botanicals, millinery and jewellery, provides a calm, creative point of contact for my families, patrons and visionaries.
Whether you need a bespoke ceremony, stunning florals, custom wearables or all of the above - I am here to bring your vision to life."
About Me
"They say a 'Jack of all trades' is a master of none ... but I am here to prove that a master of integration is exactly what your ceremony needs.
I am a multi-passionate artist. I don't just write your bespoke ceremony script - I hand craft the stunning botanical scapes and custom wearables to build one seemless, breathtaking, visual world around your story."
Wonderful words from the huge hearts I have worked with!
"From celebrating the start of a beautiful union and honouring the legacies of loved ones, to guiding brave individuals through life's massive transitions - here are the stories behind the collaborations.
Jas
"When you have a clear vision and meet someone who understands it, loves it, jumps on it and joins the wild ride that is wedding planning, with you ... what a treat it is! From the first mood board, to the 'and you may now kiss your bride'.
Thanks Samantha, you were the sparkly glue that brought it all together!!!"
Jordan
"I really enjoyed the workshop over all because it was a 1:1 session. It was nice to be able to chat and get to know Samantha. I love her personality and caring, supportive nature. I could tell how much she loves what she does! The materials for the workshop were good, the ability to choose different beads (pearls) would have been nice instead of the packs being pre selected and packed.
The headbands Samantha creates are a work of art - they are beautiful. I would go back to the workshop again just to chat with Samantha! She was very friendly, chatty and puts so much love and effort into her work!"
Angela
"Thanks to SLR for putting so much thought into the design. The beautiful wreath made the perfect focus for an emotional tribute to a member of our family, that was sadly lost in the final day of action for his regiment, in WW1.
I would highly recommend this company if you want high quality, unique design that is personalised to your need and taste."
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I book you for just one service?
"Absolutely! While I love creating a completely cohesive atmosphere by handling your ceremony, flowers and wearables together, you are more than welcome to book me for just one or two services. I am here to support your vision however that looks."
Do you travel outside of Cardiff and South Wales?
"Yes I do! While I am proudly based in Cardiff, I am more than happy to travel across the UK or abroad to bring your bespoke ceremony and artistic elements to life. Travel and accommodation fees are custom-quoted based on your venue location."
How far in advance do I need to order custom hats or jewellery?
"For bespoke wearable art, I typically require 4-6 weeks lead time before your ceremony. This ensures I have ample time to source your luxury materials and handcraft your piece to perfection without rushing the process."
How long does it take to write a bespoke script?
"The collaborative process usually takes 2 to 3 months. We will have chemistry chats, and I will send you a questionnaire to dig into your story. This gives us plenty of time to review and edit the script until it captures the absolute essence of you."
Will you ever get stretched too thin?
"Never! I strictly limit my number of bookings in order to give my absolute, undivided master craftsmanship to each single one."
How do you make all these elements tie together?
"Total creative control! Because I design all elements of your ceremony, florals and custom wearables personally, I can guarantee a completely seamless and beautifully coordinated atmosphere without the risk of vendor miscommunication. "

So if you're ready to plan for the next steps ... get to it!
Chemistry chat - you will need to click with your celebrant and believe me, you will just know!
Planning. You will need to be ready to start preparing for the Ceremony. Vows. Readings. Music.
Quirky Questionnaire - are you ready to lay yourself bare? It's all about you!
Meet and greet. Yep, you really need to get to know each other!
Creating ceremonies is a super power. Though that can only be done by reflecting your story and what has brought you to your special day. You must be willing to invest your time and your true self, the authentic you. After all, that's the reason you want a celebrant-led ceremony. Right?
