Meet Natalie
Hello, I'm Natalie!
I'm a Wedding Planner based in beautiful St Ives Cornwall and i LOVE to plan and design!
I feel extremely lucky to of been brought up in such a stunning part of the world. It has elements of a tropical feel, with the white sandy beaches, turquoise ocean and even the odd palm tree or two! It's many a couple's dream to tie the knot here, with so many venues at your finger tips to choose from, not forgetting the incredible sea views.
I've always had a huge passion for creativity, design and styling. Starting with my love for Art as a child, through to studying Art, Graphic Design and photography in college with a dream to become a Graphic Designer in the future. Once completing my course and leaving with a National diploma in hand, i knew it wasn't the route for me and i needed to be more hands on with my creativity.
This then led me into working as a stylist in a top retail high street store. My creativity flourished, from being a personal shopper, to styling windows, mannequins and various seasonal displays throughout the store.
Designing my own beach wedding along with my sisters boho inspired wedding, is where my passion for wedding planning and styling really took off.
This then evolved into Natalie Blake Wedding Design, which is now where my heart lies.
There's nothing i love more than bringing my clients visions to life, adding to their love story and seeing the joy on their faces making lasting memories on their special day.
If on the occasion i'm not planning or coordinating weddings, you will find me with salty hair and sand between my toes with my beautiful family.
