awards presentation. She has also recently created stunning venues for High Street name launches including Herbal Essence shampoo and the Co-op Food organisation. As a mother of five children, Hayley is well used to being superorganised and can guarantee to cover every aspect of venue decor you would wish for. She said: “I’d always been quite artistic and started off making hand written signs etc. Then I inherited
some chair covers and the venue business just grew and grew as people asked me to dress their wedding venues. Now I am very proud to be able to work at some of the best regional wedding venues and offer a full range of table decorations, floral displays, chair dressing, centrepieces, starlight backdrops and much more.’’ For those essential finishing touches, Hayley can supply extras such as a large chocolate fountain, white postbox for wedding cards and bespoke welcome boards. Hayley is now a recommended supplier and included in wedding packages at both Nottingham’s Eastwood Hall and the Nottingham Belfry Hotel. Such is her success, she is already taking bookings for 2021 and advises couples to book as soon as possible. Her service begins with a consultation with the happy couple to determine their exact requirements and budget. She said: “Let me take some of the stress out of organising a wedding. I can liaise with the venue and then obviously return the
day after the wedding to remove everything. I am more than happy to fit with couples and meet them during the daytime, in the evening or at the weekend for a consultation.’’ A few weeks before the big day, Hayley always organises another get-together with the bride and groom to check all the details and put them at their ease over a coffee and even a cake or afternoon tea. She said: “You always find it is all the little extras that make the difference to a wedding day but planning the big day is a very stressful time and I am here to help.’’ Hayley is currently making the finishing touches to her Hayley Smith Wedding Planner Book, which will be available for sale on Amazon. Full of ideas, it is the perfect way to keep all your notes and plans together.
