Made with love Discover all things handmade around Hampshire and Dorset THE LOVELY LITTLE DETAILS After discovering a love for all those little details that matter at her own wedding, designer Rumeet Tudor started The Lovely Little Details back in 2017. She says, “I love nothing more than to create the most beautiful paper and stationery goods to mark such a special time in your life to share with loved ones and cherish them for years to come.” Being a small business and only taking on a handful of clients every month allows the supplier to work closely with each couple, ensuring their stationery is the perfect reflection of their love story through paper and a carefully considered design. Rummet says, “As cliche as it sounds, I adore every part of my job! I love hearing all about the details and plans for a couple’s wedding day, working closely with them in curating the perfect stationery and then watching it all come to life! I’m truly honoured to be chosen to bring dream weddings to life.” Discover more about the company: www.thelovelylittledetails.co.uk The suppliers around Hampshire and Dorset are a creative bunch and can add personal touches to create memorable weddings.

My favourite part of the job is seeing everything come together at the end once the cake is assembled and seeing the happy couple enjoy it!” Discover more: www.facebook.com/annabel.bakes.cakes JEREMY FRANCE JEWELLERS The popular Jeremy France Jewellers has been in Winchester since 1990. Owner Jeremy started the business in Kent to create high-quality jewellery to last. His background is in the workshop, creating and repairing jewellery. The team still work to the high standards he met back then today. With designers and goldsmiths in store, they make everything from engagement rings, wedding rings and eternity rings to all kinds of milestone jewellery using natural and laboratory-grown diamonds as well as any coloured gemstone the client desires. Bespoke manager Lauren Heavens says, “We offer a vast collection of classic, fancy, diamond set wedding rings. We specialise in bespoke designs, which match the curves or diamond details of our client’s engagement rings so everything matches perfectly.” Although more than 150 designs are in store, this option could be better for a desired look. So, the team can 3D scan engagement rings to ensure the wedding ring matches exactly with their CAD design. They also give a 10-year guarantee on all diamond set rings and offer complimentary cleaning for life on all wedding bands! With the goldsmiths in store, pairs only have to leave their rings while shopping in town to return them to sparking new! Working with customers to create their perfect jewellery is Laura’s favourite part of the job! She says, “It’s so rewarding helping couples and seeing their reactions each step of the way through sketches, 3D resin models and the final reveal of the completed ring. As each piece is individual, the way we create the perfect ring for you can vary. Always look at starting your bespoke journey at least four to six months before the big day to ensure you give yourself time to make decisions and for us to create the perfect ring.” Discover more about the company: https://jeremyfrancejewellers.co.uk 59 HANDMADE
