Trends evolve year after year which means that your wedding will be so much different from the one you attended last year and will be distinctly different from ones coming up over the next few years.

There is a new trend that pops us every now and then that is completely new and no-one ever thought of in the past but most are variations on existing ideas. Each year that passes adds to the incredible range of ideas that already exist, meaning the options available to newly engaged couples just continues to grow.

 

 

That's the average cost of a wedding in the UK in 2019. Yes, really - according to hitched.co.uk. And it's gone down by £299 from 2018!

More realistically, Hello! magazine has suggested that around £17,000 is the actual norm, going up to just over £24,000 in London so no need to panic just yet. So what are people actually spending their budget on? I've googled a couple of websites to get an idea of current trends and together with what I know of the industry, I'll hopefully be able to advise on ways that you can reduce the amount you spend.

 

 

Well, it's been a busy few months! We've been steadily working away both on the promotion side of things and on the creative side too. There have been a couple of seminars that I've attended on how to promote ourselves more effectively - this website is due an overhaul and I've got someone helping me with that so keep your eyes peeled, hopefully it will be easier to navigate and the information will be a lot clearer. I'm hoping to increase my rankings on google so I've been doing some homework and I've learnt that with everything, consistency is a must! Blogging apparently helps too so I'd really appreciate your thoughts on what you'd like to see whether it be more updates, information about organising an event, upcoming trends in the event decor market, what's new for us in the way of lights, light up letters, centerpieces, decor, etc.

 

 

Rochdale Wedding Show was just the most amazing day! From totally stepping out of my comfort zone to chatting away with brides and grooms to be and liaising with other exhibitors - the day was a definite challenge but totally worth it!

Orders and enquiries are coming in and I'm so happy to share my love of all things bright and beautiful with prospective customers. Everyone seemed genuinely impressed with our displays and the added bonus of being situated next to a bridal shop - Alice Ada Bridal, based in Bury, gave us both the perfect opportunity to share our products with each other. Their model, Georgia, looked stunning in every dress she wore and we provided the perfect backdrop for photographs that we can both use in our promotions.

Looking forward to the next opportunity to showcase our wonderful letters, archway, balloon displays and sweet cart.
