There’s something quietly momentous about this moment.
A return, of sorts, but not to the same place.
After a season of stepping back, slowing down, and welcoming our baby boy into the world, I’m gently finding my way back into work. And whilst it feels familiar in many ways, the rhythm of emails, the excitement of upcoming weddings, the creative energy beginning to stir again, it also feels entirely new.
Because I’m not the same person returning.
Motherhood has shifted something. Softened certain edges, sharpened others. It’s given me a new lens through which I see everything: time, creativity, energy, purpose. And stepping back into Wizz & Wild now feels less like “going back to work” and more like stepping into a new chapter of it.
One that holds both worlds, side by side.
Returning to Weddings
This season ahead feels incredibly special.
We have the most beautiful weddings on the horizon, thoughtfully planned, deeply personal celebrations, each one with its own unique story. From romantic English garden palettes to more sculptural, modern designs, it feels like a season full of creativity, intention, and artistry.
And after time away, there’s a renewed sense of excitement in it all.
The early sketches. The conversations with clients. The process of translating an idea into something tangible, something immersive. It feels like reconnecting with a part of myself that’s always been there, but now with a deeper appreciation for it.
There’s also a new awareness of time. Of how precious it is. Of how I want to spend it, and where I choose to pour my energy. That in itself feels like a quiet evolution of the business, one that prioritises meaning, balance, and intention alongside creativity.
A Different Kind of Balance
Running a business as a mother is something I’m still learning in real time.
There’s no perfect formula, just a constant ebb and flow. Some days feel seamless, others less so. But what I’m beginning to understand is that it doesn’t need to look the way it did before.
In many ways, it can’t.
And that’s not a limitation, it’s an expansion.
The business is growing with me. Adapting, evolving, becoming something richer and more layered. There’s a deeper connection now to why I do what I do. A stronger pull towards creating work that feels meaningful, not just visually beautiful, but emotionally resonant too.
And perhaps most importantly, a reminder that it’s okay to do things differently.
Introducing: Wizz & Wild Wanderings
Alongside returning to weddings, I’ve been thinking a lot about how I want to share more of this season, both the business and the life around it. If you have been here for a while, you may remember our Weekly Words, a newsletter via email to catch you up on all that we’ve been up to. Farm life, countryside looks, and flowering events. A space where my love of photography and writing can feel at home.
So, I’m slowly introducing a new space here on the blog:
Wizz & Wild Wanderings
A collection of thoughts, stories, and glimpses into the world behind the work.
Going forward, you can expect a mix of entries across a few different threads:
Business & Motherhood
Honest reflections on building and running a creative business alongside motherhood. The shifts, the challenges, the small wins, and everything in between.
Wedding Stories
A closer look at the weddings we create, design stories, behind-the-scenes moments, and the creative process from concept to installation.
From the Home & Garden
Life in the countryside, on the farm, the changing seasons, our cutting garden, and the slower, quieter moments that inspire so much of what we do.
Studio Notes
More informal entries, ideas in progress, things I’m loving, snippets from daily life, and the in-between moments that don’t always make it onto Instagram.
Looking Ahead
This feels like a gentle beginning.
A way of returning, but also of opening something new.
There’s a lot I’m excited about this year: beautiful weddings, new ideas, and continuing to shape Wizz & Wild in a way that feels aligned with this season of life.
And whilst things may look a little different behind the scenes, the heart of it remains the same.
Thoughtful design. Seasonal beauty. Creating something meaningful.
Just now, with a baby in my arms and a slightly different rhythm to it all.
If you’ve found your way here, whether you’ve followed along for years or you’re new to Wizz & Wild, thank you. It feels really special to be sharing this next chapter!
