About us
A family business, over ten years in the making
Jess & Abbie, their mum and dad, and a select Simply Elegant team - dressing weddings and events across South Wales.
Jess & Abbie
Ten years of beautiful venues
Being involved in the wedding and event business for over ten years, Jess & Abbie had worked in some beautiful venues throughout South Wales alongside their mum and dad and a select Simply Elegant team! They travelled as far west as Pembroke, east to Newport and the occasional visits to mid Wales.
Having worked in all styles of venues they got to find which venues worked for the style of wedding or event chosen by couples.
Fast forward to 2026
A select number of venues, each with its own style
A lot has changed in the wedding and event industry. The family worked hard building a successful business alongside their ever-growing embroidery and print business.
Jess & Abbie had their own vision of working with a select number of venues, each offering their own individual style for a wedding or event. Knowing the venue and staff so well has the whole planning process running smoothly - and it is definitely the way forward for their business.
