Meet the Velvet Team

Emma Harrop

Director and Buyer

Emma does the buying and she works very hard to find the most gorgeous wedding decorations and home accessories possible. Emma got married to Nick 11 years ago and they are planning to renew their vows next year.  As well as confirming their great marriage and 3 kids, it’s so they can have the most beautiful and stylish party with all their loved ones. Emma fancies Vintage style....

Nick Harrop

Director

Nick does technology!  Nick also runs the furniture side of the business and manages the delivery partners we use. Nick is saving hard for the party to renew his wedding vows to Emma and he wants to go for Royal Britannia style - decisions and decisions!

Iris Draper

Finance Director

As well as being mum to Emma and a very involved Granny, Iris runs all the financial side of the stores and websites, without her amazing mathematical brain we would be lost! Iris married George over 40 years ago - so perhaps not quite as excited about weddings as the rest of us!

Helen Mather

Stock Manager

Helen is the quickest and most efficient stock manager in the world. She knows very product we have in the stores (over 5000) and has an in depth knowledge of our wedding goodies. She sorts out all the stock and gets it ready for all our lovely shoppers in the tidiest stock room you will ever see. She is also a huge Arsenal fan.
