How To Celebrate Your Non Wedding Day In Lockdown

4th June 2020 by Gemma Leave a Comment

June is here (how did that happen) and for most this marks the start of summer. For some it is bitter sweet as they should have been saying their vows in front of loved ones. As a wedding supplier I have had all of my June and July weddings postpone, I am still quietly hopeful for the end of August but every week is a new development so all we can do is wait. This means that there are many couples who face a non wedding day, an empty date that they had spent months and years planning for.

My advice to you is don’t let this day pass with out marking it, you picked that original date for a reason so it still needs to be celebrated and memories made. So I have put together some ideas for an amazing weekend that made my heart soar and put a smile on my face, all from localish to Bedford Businesses who all need your support right now.

First up has to be The Stay Home Picnic. A collaboration between Nikkita Palmer Designs and myself. Relax just the two of you in a bohemian paradise, sip champagne and graze on the yummiest platter of fresh food from The Bountiful Table. Discuss your dreams and ambitions and lay back picturing the day you will eventually get to say you vows and dance the night away.

What could be more romantic than having a night under the stars so upgrade your picnic package to include a bell tent from FM Tents, with a starting price of £80. What could be more memorable than star gazing cuddled under a blanket surrounded by candle light (I can provide all the lanterns). Wouldn’t this be the perfect surprise for a couple for their non wedding day, who are maybe feeling burdened by the stress that postponing a wedding brings. All deliveries and setup are contactless and follows government guidelines.

No wedding is complete without photos so don’t let this date be missed. Ayelle Photography are offering relaxed socially distanced mini photo shoots to help capture those memories, get dressed up, grab the flowers supplied with your ‘Stay Home Picnic‘ and make your own mini bouquet. Trust me you will look back on those images in years to come and a smile will spread across your face, not many people will be celebrating a non wedding day in lock down.

Cake! Of course you need cake and I am totally in love with Oh My Cakerys loaded brownies, this gal say’s it how it is, her in your face cakes are the perfect tonic for adding an air of light heartedness to the occasion and they taste amazing.

Pamper and chill. The night before your wedding and the morning of should be spent relaxing and laughing. You might not be able to have your gals and guys with you in person but they are only a Zoom away. Treat yourself to a pamper package from Lords and Ladies, who have just launched their online shop (there is also the perfect one for men). Put on a face mask, sip the champagne, eat the cake and get your friends on the screen. Its amazing how normal a Zoom social gathering soon feels.

Back to the romance… The whole reason you are getting married is to publicly declare your love and committal to someone. You can still do this. Ok it might not be legal but it can still be romantic. Kelly Hawes is a celebrant who has been conducting virtual ceremonies, yes it sounds totally void of emotion but she says totally the opposite –

”The ceremonies have been a fantastic way to bring everyone together in celebration on a day that would instead feel empty. Ive been totally blown away by the emotion and connection felt between us all despite being through a screen.The couples have all commented just how much they enjoyed the moment and I hope I have left them with an everlasting memory during a difficult situation. ”

So memories and laughter can still be made, your day might not be happening when you originally thought, but you can still celebrate! Having to wait a little longer is going to make it all the meaningful, memorable and enjoyable when it does happen. Plus everyone is going to want to have a huge party!

A Stay Home Picnic

12th May 2020 by Gemma Leave a Comment

I haven’t blogged in a while, I have a few scurried away mostly about this crazy period in the world of small business, that I will get uploaded over the next few weeks. But this one I just had to get out first, and its all about a brand new service, perfect for this mad time!

I don’t know about you but I am tired of these 4 walls, week days, weekends all become the same. Last weekend we fancied a change, we fancied a little escapism but within our home bubble. With a Glam Garage full of an unused hire collection hubby and I had an idea. We created our own low level chill out, we bought yummy picnic food and I styled it all together for our own boho picnic area. And do you know what it was amazing! We laughed, we relaxed, we pretended we were anywhere apart from our own garden. I shared a little snippet on Insta and the amount of love was overwhelming. So I wanted to make this little bit of escapism available to others.

Chill Out Area Styling and Hire

I am no good with food, the thought of having to go through hygiene tests and all the council paper work is a little beyond me, so time to call in the professionals. I was recommended The Bountiful Table by a friend and I instantly fell in love with their style. Their food is right up my street, it looks yum, is beautifully presented and is the perfect grazing opportunity. Boxes include 3 cheese varieties, 1 pot of humorous, a selection of crackers, olives and stuffed peppers, vegetables and fresh fruit & nuts! Dietary requirements can be met so get in touch for more info.

Nikkita of Nikkita Palmer Designs and I have previously created the perfect boho chill out area, so we have slimmed it down and created a smaller version. Perfect for back gardens and living rooms the package contains a Persian Rug, Low Level Table, Macrame Runner, a food serving board and a selection of scatter cushions, a couple of vessels for flowers and some freshly picked blooms. Need a little help for how to put it all together we will provide a helpful guide.

Everything will be delivered to your door on a Saturday morning and collected on a late Sunday afternoon. All contact less and fuss free. Over the hire period it is yours to use inside or outside, all we ask is you keep it dry and abide by the Government Social Distancing Rules.

Now it is hard to put a price on creating memories, on escapism and on breaking up the monotony of lockdown but this is business so we have to, so all of the above can be hired and eaten for £100, based on 2-4 people. £190 for 6-8 people. Plus for a limited time we will be offering free delivery. bookings need to be made by Thursday morning, dietary requirements can be catered for and if you want to over size your boho styling then we can add in lanterns, extra rugs, small furniture and extra flowers.

Due to Government Guidelines and the need to balance family life we can only currently offer this service in the Bedford are and surrounding villages.

Now to make the most of the summer from the safety of your own home, get in touch for more info and to book. thewhiteemporium@outlook.com

A moment for reflection - ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ A moment for reflection -⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀A year ago we entered our first full lockdown! Where has this year gone? At times it feels I have blinked and time has evaporated at others the clocks seem to have stood still.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀This time last year TWE had already started to feel the effects of Covid, the postponements flood led in but there remained an glimmer of hope this would just be a short term measure. A year on and we are still in a lockdown although one not as controlled as we entered into a year ago. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀This year has been mentally the toughest of my life, I have constantly had everything I believed in challenged & my eyes & heart have been opened in more ways than I could have imagined. February 2020 I was charging into what should have been the best year ever for TWE now March 2021 I am crawling into the shortest wedding season ever known. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀I have learnt how resilient I am, when my backs against the wall I can stand and fight. Not one penny of government support has yet come my way but here the business is still standing. I am exhausted and I feel I have aged about 10 years but I have done it and on those dark days I will always be able to return back to the knowledge that I never gave up & even though my business hasn’t thrived like it should have it still carried on and remained a constant. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀I have huge respect for the businesses who have been able pivot and fly. At times in all this craziness it has taken all my strength to get out of bed and face the day. My brain has been more muddled than ever before, filled with fear, sadness, anger at the injustice of it all & yet it has still managed to be creative and find a way to keep the money coming in. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀So although this isn’t over and still I hold so much anxiety for the year ahead, I do feel hopeful for the future. TWE will be evolving over the next few months and I am excited to take you all with me on the next part of my journey.

Anyway I’m going to forget about it all for a while, the enquiries are coming in, you lot are bloody amazing!

God I love this feeling! I mean it feels weird that I have achieved this working high without moving 5m from my laptop and I wish all todays experiences had been able to be in person but it feels so good to feel like I have really achieved something!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀@bassmeadmanorbarns @themisstomrsbudget I look forward to part 2 of our podcast with Richard Fuller MP.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Throwing it back to this dreamy setup for @theflourishworkshop  captured by @lolarosephotos amazing florals by @twiggythistle table @nikkitapdesigns_hire. candles: @esteranderik stationary: @loupaper venue: @sanctumonthegreen⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀#tablescape #driedflowers #driedflowerinstallation #florwerinstallation #hanginginstallation #tablestyling #rusticluxe #married2021 #married2022 #grazingboard #flowerinstallation #rusticluxe #venuestylist #twestyled #trestletable #weddingstyling #weddinginspiration #persuepretty #bohovibes #outdoorwedding #modernweddingstyling #rusticromance

This week also sees the announcement of the budget and as a business that has received £0 help so far I feel this announcement has bigger consequences on my future than last weeks. @rishisunakmp please don’t let us down!Head over to @weddingsparrow to see more of this beautiful shoot.Curated by myself and @_wildstems_ Photographer- @hannahduffyphotography Dress: @bowendryden Venue: @thebarnatbrookendgreenfarm Hair: @emma_kim_hair Makeup: @alikynochChairs: @wedhead_london Stationary: @whitecottageweddings Jewellery: @epanouilifestyle Cake: @neighbourhood_bakes Candles: @esteranderik from @scandinavianhomeware #weddingeditorial #weddingsparrow #twestyled #contemporarywedding #blossominspo #seasonalshift #floralinstalation #modernwedding #elegnanceredefined #bowendryden #blossomwedding #contemporarystyling #weddinginspo #married2021 #coolvibes #tablescape #tablestyling #furniturestyling #cleanlines #linentablecloth #modernbarn #springiscoming #minimaliststyling #abstractstyling #springiscoming #springwedding #microwwdding #intimatewedding #smallandbeautiful
