How to prepare for the big day?!

So many things, so little time, everything HAS to be perfect! Luckily we have Charlene & team who have it all covered. Let us take you through Charlene’s guide to creating the perfect party, supported by V&A Shop’s unique wedding range of course!

First thing first – Setting the table

Charlene called upon Meaow Box Jewellery for catered/crafted fake tea party food – a scene to make mouths water.
