Hello, I’m Jessie

THE CREATIVE DIRECTOR & CO-FOUNDER OF RUBY & JAMES.

Ruby and James are a team of creative souls, perfectionists and romantics at heart. Providing a unique event design and planning service with a collaborative approach, based in Naarm Melbourne. Much like the role of a highly skilled Couture Seamstress, we are the atelier of our industry, creating one-of-a-kind experiences.

It’s an indescribable feeling helping and guiding our clients through these moments in time. We are constantly inspired by the people we meet, and most importantly the stories that have brought them together.

Our creative choices draw on themes of Nostalgic Romance, Fashion & Deep Care.

OUR APPROACH

With a collaborative and empathetic approach, we believe that the true essence of event styling, lies in capturing the stories of our clients.
From our first consultation we love to get to know our couples, hear their story and how they envisage their day to feel and look like. Passionate about design and colour theory, we seamlessly curate our designs with personality, to create spaces with intention.

Depending on the level of support required from our end, we can assist with planning meetings, site visits, concept designs, prop sourcing, linen selections, colour palette guidance, stationery & signage, floor plans and flower direction. Every piece is carefully curated, teaming you with our most trusted industry partners.

You’ll receive a full list of our recommended suppliers; from florists, cake makers, photographers, videographers, entertainment to dog sitters....the list goes on.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

The Ruby & James experience is meticulous and intricate. Our attention to detail and perfectionist nature is evident in the level of care we have for each client (or friend) that we support. We are in our client’s corner, generously eager and willing to make their wildest dreams come true.

With careful precision and consideration in everything we set our minds to, we’re the team our clients can always trust.

  • What a wedding!

    Jessie from Ruby & James created absolute magic on our special day! It was everything we could have imagined and more. We first connected with Jessie whilst we were living in London…fast forward over a year and we were planning a wedding in the midst of a pandemic! We could not have pulled off the incredible day that we had without Jessie’ commitment, creativity and genuine care.

    Working with Jessie, felt like working with a close friend; plenty of laughs and even some tears (thanks to Covid). Her attention to detail and unfaltering professionalism was phenomenal. The ever changing situation made having someone so experienced in the industry invaluable.

    Jessie was often our trusted advocate to ensure all commitments from suppliers were executed, with any unexpected changes communicated in real time and with honesty.

    On the day, our guests were genuinely amazed with what Jessie had created in the marquee for us. We received so many wonderful compliments. All of which were a testament to Jessie’s passion and dedication to creating a beautiful and personal wedding day.

  • We wanted to express our deepest gratitude for the incredible work you’ve done to make our wedding experience and day so magical.

    Your keen eye for design, attention to detail and creative flair, have transformed our vision into a stunning reality. Your passion and positive energy made the entire process a joy.

  • Hands down the most incredible stylist and person! Jessie's proactivism, vision, tenacity and dedication ensured that we had the wedding of our dreams. Beyond impressed, satisfied and grateful to have had Ruby and James in our corner and we can't wait to host another event just so we can work on it together! Your biggest fans, Cristina and Andrew Khallouf

  • Jessie is exceptional, both in respect to the quality of her work, and as a trusted advisor throughout the wedding planning process. She made the whole lead up feel like an absolute breeze, and we could never imagine doing it without her. Not a single hiccup on the day, and to top it off, she is a legend of a human. Thanks Jessie for everything - 6/5 stars!!
