We recently caught up with Sarah Miller, founder of The Trove, a creative studio designing and styling weddings, elopements, and events across the North East, Yorkshire and beyond.
Tell us a little about you
I live in the North East with my fiancé Sean and our beautiful daughter Beatrice. I feel most at home by the sea, or in the countryside, and you will often find us camped out in the Lake District or rambling through woodland in search of waterfalls. I am creative to my core and have far too many hobbies to mention!
Tell us a little about your career
I started my creative career specialising in lingerie design whilst at university, and I then went on to work in print and marketing. It has always been my dream to have my own creative business, so when I spotted a gap in the market for modern, design-led weddings in the North, it felt like the perfect opportunity to start something new.
As a business we design, curate and style our couples weddings to bring their vision to life. We also manage all creative suppliers for our clients, for example flowers and stationery, to ensure cohesion and it also relieves a huge amount of wedding planning pressure from their shoulders.
Over the past couple of years The Trove has flourished into a successful, established brand and I couldn’t be more proud!
What can couples expect when working with you?
We pride ourselves on offering a super personalised, friendly approach and we are always happy to chat with our couples and offer help and advice whenever needed. I’m extremely detail oriented so you’ll find us perfecting every last inch of the venue on the wedding morning; we really pour our hearts into each and every wedding.
What do you love most about weddings?
From a styling perspective I love the calm right before guests begin to arrive, when we see all of the months of planning and chatting come to fruition, everything looks perfect and we just know the couple are going to love it!
Personally my favourite thing about weddings is seeing family and friends come together, dressed to impress, to enjoy a day filled with celebrations, love and laughter – there’s simply nothing better! We are so incredibly lucky to play a part in such special days.
