About Us
Hello! I’m Melissa, founder of Pear Tree Lane and lover of all things wedding. I fell in love with the industry in 2017 when my own creative wedding planning journey began, and the rest is history.
Our wonderful team is made up of venue stylists, floral designers and all-important assistants who collectively run Pear Tree Lane. Our business is built around our passion for detail and creative design, as well as our unwavering dedication to our clients and their experience with us. Our vast collection of decor is ever-growing in line with current trends, and we take pride in sourcing only the finest of pieces to add to our collections.
We have had the pleasure of working in collaboration with some of the most renowned venues in the North East, earning recommended venue stylist for many of those. Our HQ Studio is located in Darlington where you will often find us ironing linens, conditioning beautiful florals, and meeting with our lovely clients, in preparation for their wedding day.
I truly believe that it is a privilege to be a part of someone’s wedding day, after all, it is one of the most memorable days of their life. Let us be a part of your journey to create your perfect day!
Let us be a part of your Journey

What happens after we enquire?
After submitting your initial enquiry, you will be invited to book an initial call with Melissa to discuss any ideas you may have for your wedding day. A styling proposal will then be designed for you which will also include a breakdown of costs. Any elements of your styling can be changed up until 12 weeks before your wedding day, so plenty of time to make amendments and we aim to be as flexible as we can for you!
We don’t know what we want exactly at this stage, is that ok?
Absolutely! Our initial call is really so you can understand the service which we can offer, and how we can help take some of the pressure off your planning journey. We have many clients who reserve their wedding date with us but then choose the design of their day later down the line.
Can we hire you for your styling services alone?
Of course! Some clients we work with have already opted to use other vendors, as well as us, and that’s fine. We are more than happy to work with other stylists, florists, stationers, to ensure your day is cohesive.
Do you have a minimum spend?
We appreciate that budget is usually at the forefront of everyone’s mind during wedding planning, and rightly so! During peak wedding months (May-September), we ask for a minimum investment of £1000 per event. This can include all aspects of your styling, floristry and stationery, and is primarily so we can ensure during those busy months, we are focusing our energy on exceeding our clients’ expectations and aren’t taking on too much. Please note: the minimum investment doesn’t apply to those clients looking to dry hire our decor – for this there is no minimum spend but it is subject to availability.
What is your booking process?
Once you’ve reviewed your proposal and decided you’d like us to add some styling magic to your day, you can reserve your wedding date with a non-refundable deposit. We will then aim to meet in person or virtually around 12 weeks before you get married to finalise those all-important details. Your design proposal will be appropriately tweaked following this, which is also when your final balance will be due.
We have sourced some of our own decor, are you able to help set this up?
Totally! We’re more than happy to style your own decor, as well as using our own to help bring your vision to life.
