MEET: CoppaCo UK

WHAT WE DO: “The trend in wedding venue dressing is now moving away from more traditional ideas into something altogether different,” says Amanda Sagar and Jensen Lodge. “We hand make every one of our wedding designs using reclaimed timber and, where possible, salvaged copper. What’s more, the design of many of our products and how we make them means they are extremely versatile! Each couple can style them how they like at the venue and create bespoke variations just by rearranging some of the elements – or combining them together.”
