Charlotte Mills Ltd

Charlotte Mills Ltd

Charlotte Mills launched her namesake bridal footwear brand in 2014, transforming her London College of Fashion final-year project into a label redefining bridal shoes. Known for blending sentimental details with modern style, every pair includes a silver sixpence in the left shoe and soles embossed with “Something old, something new…”.

Designed with comfort in mind, the collection offers padded insoles, block heel options, wide fits, and varied heel heights — ensuring brides can look and feel amazing all day.

In 2023, Charlotte expanded into bridal and hen party dresses, all under £500. The range mirrors her shoes’ ethos: contemporary, fashion-led, flattering, and accessible, perfect for everything from ceremonies to hen parties and reception changes.

Rose Signage Company  

Rose Signage Company

 

Rose Signage Co. began in 2018 when Rose created her own wedding signs after struggling to find UK suppliers, and the designs quickly became an overnight success.

Within five months, Rose left her full-time job, and a year later, Steve joined her, allowing them to invest in equipment that expanded their creative capabilities. They’ve since grown into a team of six and partnered with the UK’s leading acrylic manufacturer to launch an exclusive 15-shade colour range.

After showcasing at three National Wedding Shows, they’re especially excited to attend their first Manchester show and meet local couples in person.

Adam Hudson Photography

Adam Hudson Photography

Adam began his journey nearly 10 years ago, inspired by a desire to document his son's life and create a visual diary of his childhood. This passion soon extended to working with families and naturally evolved into photographing weddings across the UK and internationally.

His mission is to capture authentic, emotional, and unscripted moments that couples and families can treasure for a lifetime. With a vision rooted in modern, editorial storytelling, Adam's work blends documentary-style photography with a relaxed, natural aesthetic that highlights genuine emotion over posed scenes.

Owen House Wedding Barn  

Owen House Wedding Barn

 

The idea for Owen House Wedding Barn was born when our founder, then a photographer, was shooting a villa in Italy with his girlfriend (now wife). Inspired by the charm of the location, they envisioned transforming the family farm into a bespoke wedding venue—rustic, yet effortlessly cool.

That vision became a reality, and today Owen House Wedding Barn is a unique space where modern style meets countryside character.
