Toasters are out and more meaningful, lasting alternatives are in. This is where St Leonard’s-based Liz Emtage Ceramics comes in. She creates bespoke, handmade ceramic pieces designed to become family heirlooms. From personalised wedding gifts to custom items that can be used on the day, her pieces will be treasured long after the wedding. “With many couples moving away from disposable favours, I’m seeing growing interest in personalised, small-batch ceramic favours, heirloom-quality gifts for bridal parties, and custom pieces that double as décor and keepsakes,” Liz tells us. Find your personalised piece at lizemtageceramics.com Health is the new wealth The most precious thing you can give someone, especially on the biggest day of their lives, is a moment to breathe. Enter the Quiet Blue 10ml spray – a little bottle of calm, designed to be carried, used and remembered. Where the traditional favour is admired for a moment before being forgotten by morning, this spray from Chichester-based brand Quiet Blue earns its place as a daily ritual and is available in four fragrances. A spritz settles pre-aisle nerves, revives guests between ceremony and celebrations and becomes a small sensory keepsake long after the flowers have faded. Each spray can be finished with a personalised label featuring your names, wedding date and a word that matters.
