The Bijou Studio

WE ARE so happy you are here

‘The Bijou Studio was founded 10 years ago to tie together my experience and passion for event planning, design and the simple love of an unforgettable party. What started as a fashion stylist’s wedding blog (when blogs were just journals!) quickly snowballed with increasing requests to style bridal brand campaigns, write for wedding magazines and advise couples planning their wedding. Keen to expand my knowledge of event organisation (the then day job) into weddings with the potential to live aboard, I studied and qualified as an International Wedding Planner in 2011. Since then The Bijou Studio has grown with the help of an amazingly talented team and we’ve had the pleasure of working with busy professionals and creatives from around the Globe.  Crafting dream weddings and events throughout the United Kingdom, France and Italy alongside commercial styling projects our goal is always to create something from the heart that’s utterly authentic and truly unforgettable’ – Alexandra

Founder & Creative Director - Alexandra

With a background in art, film marketing, music PR and fashion styling, Alexandra’s reference points for inspiration are diverse. “What’s imperative to me is that your love story is not only reflected honestly in the framework and aesthetics of your celebrations but that the journey to the big day is also an equally magical time for you both. It is such a personal experience and I want you to feel like I’ve got your back every step of the way. Partnering with busy couples both within and outside the U.K, we want to fit the planning and design around your lifestyle. So, however you prefer to share inspiration or discuss your celebration, everything is tailored to suit you."

Aside from event planning, Alexandra also consults for brands and venues, teaches new and existing planners the art of event design and is the resident fashion stylist at international wedding magazine Rock N Roll Bride. This provides Bijou clients with access to the best new and emerging talent which plays a large role in ensuring that your event stands out from the crowd.

Words that Inspire Me

“Open different doors.

You may find a you there that you never knew was yours.”

– P. L. Travers

If you could only eat one food for the rest of your life, what would it be?

Pasta aaaallll day

What has been your favourite ever vacation?

Costa Rica staying at a Anthropologist’s conservation project

What keeps you motivated for work?

The relationships with our couples. It’s such an honour making someone’s vision a reality, I never take that for granted

On your days off, what do you like to do?

Long walks with the dogs & long catch ups with friends

To have decorum, and courage in your convictions

Head of Event Production - Emma

Emma spent 5 years as the Senior Event Manager at Aynhoe Park, the UK’s most iconic exclusive venue, before joining The Bijou Studio team.  Emma has seen it all having managed over 100 events including weddings, product launches, corporate retreats and more.  No request is ever too big or too crazy thanks to Emma’s connections with the best and most unique suppliers in the UK, ranging from florists, musicians and Michelin-starred chefs through to exotic animal keepers and tap-dancing giant noses (yes, really!).
“I have worked on some truly amazing celebrations over the years, ranging from A-list celebrity birthday parties to intimate weddings, but my ethos remains the same throughout, and that is to exceed expectations. I like to ensure that the whole planning process is as enjoyable as possible and fits into your busy life, as opposed to takes it over!  I also think it’s really important to consider how the event will feel as well as look; how you and your guests felt on the day will stay with you, and them, for a very long time”.
Emma’s approach to event planning is a mix of creativity but also military precision – not only will your event look amazing, but it will flow perfectly too.
Emma is also our resident venue expert, available to consult for new and existing event venues on everything from staffing to pricing packages.

Get to Know EMMA

If you could only eat one food for the rest of your life, what would it be?

I’m a real foodie but the honest answer is crisps! I don’t discriminate – I’ve never met a crisp I didn’t like!

What has been your favorite vacation ever?

Lombok, Indonesia. It was a deserted slice of paradise with the freshest seafood I’ve ever had

On your days off, what do you like to do?

I love to cook & try new recipes. I’m also a big DIY fan. As long as I’m making something
(sometimes a mess) then I’m happy

What’s your favourite thing?

Lazy Sundays (which can be Mondays when you’re an event planner!). Plentiful supplies of coffee, a new book, a long walk & hopefully a roast dinner at the end of it

What would you like to own that you don’t currently possess?

I always have my eye on some photography or artwork but I’m running out of wall space

What has been the best advice you have ever received about your career?

Don’t be a busy fool aka be selective about what projects you take on, maintain a work-life
balance & know your worth

STYLIST

Little known fact, Alex trained and worked as a fashion stylist before venturing into Wedding land.  Having just started Patricia Field's memoir, no doubt a wardrobe change is imminent "Style is broader than just fashion - it's not only the way you dress yourself but how you decorate your home, the book you read... it all runs together."
Behind the scenes for the latest issue of @rocknrollbridemagazine It's an honour to be on the team, keeping an eye on what amazing designers are creating and seeking out fashion treasures.
