To respect your privacy, I will only contact you by telephone should there be a query with an order you have placed which is not appropriate to be emailed or if you have requested me to. Usual contact regarding orders will be via email if available and otherwise by telephone.

​

I assure you I will not transfer your personal data to any third-party without your consent, unless required to do so by law. I do not sell, rent or trade contact details, such as phone numbers or email addresses.

At Willow and Wisps, I take your personal security very seriously. I do not take payment of wedding deposits through my website to ensure a high level of security. Although I use secure online banking as a preferred payment method, I am more than happy to receive your orders and details by telephone or post if you prefer, as well as payment by cheque, cash or via PayPal. Please also see my terms and conditions.
