It was Jessica Howe ’s own dream wedding that motivated her to build a company dedicated to helping other brides plan their own perfect day. As a bride she searched high and low for a book which was positive and inspiring but also packed with practical advice to guide her through planning her wedding. She failed to find one.

At the time she worked as a consultant coaching high flying executives in how to manage heavy workloads and reduce their stress levels. Seeing a gap in the market, she decided to combine this knowledge with her journalistic experience to develop a book which made wedding planning easy, fun and stress-free for brides like her.

She spent every minute after work and at weekends writing her first book The One Stop Wedding Kit, interviewing hundreds of wedding professionals, designers and wedding coordinators, never losing sight of her dream to create a single book with everything a busy bride needs to turn her dream day into reality.

But it was all worth it when the stories began to pour in from brides, their mothers and fathers who had used the book to create fabulous weddings without the usual stresses. The book was an instant hit and remains the site’s best selling product.

Jessica keeps brides up to date with fresh wedding tips, new product releases and giveaways in the free monthly Love and Cherish newsletter.
