Tusset Isn’t for Everyone. And We’re Genuinely Happy About That.


There was a sentence I used to struggle with saying.

“Maybe we’re not the right studio for you.”

Today, it comes naturally.



Not because I want to work any less, but because, over time, I’ve realised that trying to please everyone is the fastest way to lose what makes your work recognisable.

Tusset wasn’t created to organise as many weddings as possible. It was born the moment I stopped believing that a wedding planner should always say yes.

Yes to every request. Yes to every budget. Yes to every compromise. Yes to the idea that, somehow, everything is possible—you simply need to add something. One more table. A few more flowers. Another day of celebrations. It’s fascinating how, in this industry, the answer almost always seems to be “more.”


I’ve always been much more interested in the opposite.

I’m interested in understanding what should be removed. Which ideas truly belong to the couple, and which ones arrived after watching a Reel at eleven o’clock at night while endlessly scrolling Instagram. It happens far more often than people imagine.



Over the years, I’ve received hundreds of enquiries. Some begin with, “We’re dreaming of something really simple,” and continue with three days of celebrations, an exclusive villa, seventy guests, dinner beneath the olive trees, a live band, and a farewell brunch. Evidently, “simple” is one of the most subjective words in the world.

That’s usually the moment I understand whether we’re the right fit.

Because Tusset doesn’t sell weddings. What we offer is a way of building a project, and a project only works when there is trust. Trust in the process, trust in the people involved, and trust that someone might occasionally say, “No.”

It’s not a particularly popular word.

Yet it’s one of the most important parts of our work.



Saying no to an incoherent choice doesn’t limit creativity. It protects it. I don’t believe a wedding should exist to impress everyone. I believe it should feel unmistakably like the people living it. The distinction may seem subtle, but it changes everything.

That’s why we don’t chase every trend, offer identical packages, or promise to make absolutely anything happen. It would certainly be easier. Probably more profitable too.

But it wouldn’t be Tusset.


Over the years, I’ve realised that the best couples aren’t necessarily those with the biggest budgets, nor the ones who have saved the most images on Pinterest. They’re the ones who arrive curious, ask questions, challenge their own assumptions, and understand that a meaningful project needs time to take shape.

Taste works that way. It requires culture, observation and experience. Most of all, it requires direction. And direction almost always demands the courage to let go of something in order to give greater meaning to everything else.

That’s why Tusset isn’t for everyone.

It’s not a phrase designed to sound exclusive. We have no interest in that.

We’re interested in being recognisable.


If someone finishes reading this and thinks, “This isn’t how I imagine my wedding,” that’s perfectly fine. It simply means we’ve both saved ourselves some time.

But if someone finishes reading and feels they’ve just found exactly where they belong, then The Tusset Edit has already done its job.
