Getting to know the people behind the brands, The Wild Hearts Brand Series

With the launch of our new Brand Series, we are helping couples to delve deeper behind the veil of our beautiful vendors. We love sharing how our vendors have succeeded, so we are introducing them on a deeper level via behind the brand film interviews. We’ll be sharing relatable insights and conversations, which will elevate connection between couples and vendors and instil confidence when taking the plunge to book. You’ll see behind the scenes footage of our vendors in full creative mode, whether that be shooting photos, creating florals, an up-close view of beautiful gowns and the exact texture and flow of the fabric and so much more.
