My guest in Episode #8 of The Love My Dress Podcast is Assumpta Vitcu, the gracious and visionary founder of Ave Creations, a multi-cultural wedding planning company that creates luxury experiences for couples from diverse backgrounds.

She is co-founder of Our Owambe – a blog and podcast created with the goal of redefining Black Love and celebration. She is also the creative talent behind Ave Blooms, a side-endeavour to deliver beautiful bouquets to clients across London and Essex.
