love note —
“Dear Vanessa and Monique,
Where do we even begin to thank you for everything you have done for us, both in the lead up to and on our wedding day.
Vanessa, from the very first conversation we had, I felt an immediate connection. You came across as so genuine, sincere, passionate and approachable, all the qualities that make a bride feel completely at ease when making decisions about one of the most important days of her life.
You didn’t just say you wanted to get to know Harry and I so that our day reflected who we are, you truly did. And it showed in every single detail. You listened, you cared, and you brought our vision to life in a way that felt so authentically us. You embodied everything I could have ever dreamed of in a stylist, and so much more.
Mon, you understood me instantly, the kind of bride I was and the kind I was going to be. You also understood Harry just as well… especially when it came to keeping my spending in check, which I’m sure he appreciated! Your support throughout the entire process was unmatched. Everything you did was with such care, honesty and warmth, and we will forever be grateful for how calm and at ease you made us feel, both in the lead up and on the day itself. That is a true reflection of the grounded and beautiful person you are.
This past year has been incredibly challenging personally for Harry and I, with everything happening with Mum’s health. Choosing to work with you both was one of the best decisions we made, and we are so deeply grateful for the way you carried us and our families through this experience.
Philoxenia - the Greek word meaning “love of strangers” (first thing I googled before speaking with you Vanessa). What started as a relationship with two strangers has become something so much more. You are now forever a part of our love story, and a relationship we will hold close to our hearts for the rest of our lives.
Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts. 🤍”
