Your Surrey Wedding- April/May 2020 (Issue 82)

All the latest from around the region NEWS Styled to perfection Styled by LC is a new styling company based in Horsell. We spoke to the owner, Lauren Croker, to find out more about her business: “I started Styled by LC while on maternity leave. I was talking to so many ladies who had lost their confidence in their body shape or ability to shop. I was going through something similar, so I decided I wanted to do something to help. As an online stylist, I can help you wherever you live, and I can keep the costs down, meaning my services are affordable for everyone. I’m so excited about the bridal side of my business, I will help you locate your perfect dress, plan your engagement party, pre- wedding photo shoot and of course make sure you’re all set with an amazing honeymoon wardrobe! I offer a free consultation where I’ll create a bespoke styling plan for you.” Check out the website styledbylc.com for more information.

Importantly, we connect directly with the hotel’s online booking engine to reduce the burden of high commission rates and offer the best for the consumer. It’s the level of service and extras that make all the difference, and we’ve carefully crafted a collection of fabulous hotels which we know intimately and have personally visited.
