Emily
Bridal Consultant
I know it's a bit of a cliché, but I see myself as a bit of a girlie girl. With a husband and two boys that play rugby I now have a house full of muddy boots and balls! My life is an endless conveyor belt of smelly kit. Luckily for me, when the second arrived I decided to seek a way to have sparkles and pretty things in my life.
My journey as a Bridal Consultant started at a beautiful bridal boutique tucked away in Totnes. It was there that the lovely Jenny saw potential in me and took me on. Jenny has now retired but I am so grateful for the experience she gave me because without it I may never have made it to The Ivory Lounge.
I love weddings and always feel honoured and privileged when I am invited to one. I've helped many a friend and family member plan their special day and coming to work and helping brides feel the best they can brings me to work with a skip in my step every day!
In my spare time I love to walk the South West Coast Path. I also enjoy soaking up the sun at any given opportunity, preferably on a beach somewhere! I love a good cream tea, with the cream on first of course. We are in Devon after all!

Drink of Choice: if I'm picking for myself Prosecco, but if my husbands their- I'll go with whatever he pick as he always gets it spot on!
​
Favourite thing about The Ivory Lounge: my favourite thing is that no matter what bride walks through the door we treat them all to The Ivory Lounge experience, where every bride is important and every time we find 'the dress' for one of our brides we are always so happy for them! We go out of our way to help everyone feel special, which every bride deserves. The other thing I love is that I get to work with the most wonderful people who make doing what is already my dream job that little bit more amazing!
