August brings a wave of new names to The Directory by Gigi & Olive, and this cohort has a particular flavour: planning and production. From the teams orchestrating your day behind the scenes to the ones capturing it as it happens, this is the month of the people who make everything come together.
The Planners
Renowned for curating prestigious luxury weddings and events, Kristina crafts unforgettable moments with flawless styling and delightful surprises. Trusted by celebrities and premium brands alike, she manages every detail from venue selection to delivery, so you can enjoy your day stress free.
For almost 25 years, this boutique consultancy has been creating exceptional weddings and celebrations across the UK and abroad, intentionally limiting the number of weddings they take on each year. The result is a celebration that feels beautifully authentic and flawlessly delivered, remembered long after the final dance.
Matthew Oliver's approach is built on living, dreaming, travelling and creating alongside each couple, with the relationship mattering as much as the planning itself. Matthew and his team offer one service, and it covers everything: from the first conversation to the final detail, they get involved in every aspect of the wedding and the events around it, giving advice, reassurance and hands-on organising throughout.
Beauty & Wellness
She Does Manis is a luxury bridal manicure service led by Ella Florence, born from a total adoration for the bridal space. Every manicure is delivered with deep care for the natural nail, using Bio Sculpture Gel and considered luxury hand care, so Brides feel effortlessly chic, timeless and polished.
Ten years of experience specialising exclusively in weddings sits behind Maayan Winter's approach. Her job is not simply to do your makeup, but to give you complete confidence that you will look and feel incredible from your first photograph to your last dance, still entirely like yourself, only more radiant.
Content Creation
692 Moments creates editorial wedding content for couples who want to relive every emotion of their celebration. Working discreetly alongside photographers and videographers, founder Lauren captures the candid, in between moments that often go unseen, bringing a background in couture fashion and luxury visual storytelling to every wedding.
Florals
Specialising in luxury marquee wedding flowers across the UK, Creative Director Daisy Hoban designs statement florals renowned for their breathtaking scale, untamed natural beauty and playful modern flair. Taking on a select number of weddings each year, every arrangement is completely bespoke, developed closely with each couple to create celebrations that feel effortlessly luxurious and entirely unforgettable.
Styling & Design
Claire Do Monte Weddings & Events creates refined, highly personalised celebrations for discerning clients, beginning with understanding each couple's story and how they want their day to feel. Taking on a limited number of weddings each year allows for an immersive, highly personal service, from the earliest ideas through to the final moments.
