So much to say- I don’t know about anyone else

So much to say-I don’t know about anyone else but there just seems to be so much to say right now and so little time to say it all.I feel I need to explain a little why I am selling Christmas product so hard... after Christmas I have some other projects to work on, ones that go back to my styling focus. Due to having zero financial support during this whole time I have to bank as much money as I can to carry me through to my wedding and events hopefully picking up again in April. So with that said here’s what you need to know about The White Emporium and Christmas...- I’m in a colab with some amazing local Bedford businesses, head over to @thebountifultable to enter the fantastic competition we are running. You can win a wreath from me!- all weekend I am running a 10% sale of my limited stock of dried flowers, Christmas wreaths and Christmas table centres. Orders must be placed directly through me.- there is still time to order your DIY Christmas wreath kit, my colab with @epanouilifestyle with £5 donation of each sold going to @mindblmk - finally you can buy Christmas table centres, Christmas wreaths from @browns_of_stagsden Thank you @two_d_photography for the wreath pic!#christmaswreath #christmasdecor #christmasdoorwreath #greenerywreath #sprucewreath #christmasdoorwreath #christmasdoordecor #mustardsofa #supportlocal #bedfordbusiness

The only good thing to come out of Covid is this chance to explore and immerse myself in my own creativity.#driedflowers #driedflowercrown #elopmentwedding #driedflorals #weddinginspiration #weddinghair #bohobride #laidbackstyle #flowercrown #flowerheadpiece

What I Do- Interrupting all the Christmas spam to

What I Do-Interrupting all the Christmas spam to tell you a little bit about what I do/did pre Covid. There has been a lot of new followers to my little part of Insta, I know numbers aren’t everything but honestly each new follower fills me with joy. What do I do- I’m a venue stylist! I take a blank venue and I fill it with personality. Specialising in weddings you are mostly likely going to find me hanging out in a marque, tipi or barn. Traditionally blank canvas locations that I work with a couple, inspired by their vision to create a setting that is full of atmosphere and the perfect reflection of their love as a couple.Now if COVID could just do one so I could get back to doing what I love best that would be fab!Thanks @emilylittlephotography for@the pic in a @countrytipis tipi at @tiptopvenues_ with flowers from @flowers_at_fifty_eight and glasses and cutlery from @wrenark_ #venuestylist #tipiwedding #tipiinspiration #tipistyling #tablescape #weddinginspiration #weddingstyling #bedfordshirewedding #colouredglassware

National Stress Awareness Day!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Hands up who's stress levels have been through the roof over the past few days. Strangely this lockdown doesn't feel as daunting as the previous one. We have been here before, I feel a sense of calm about the situation. You can't fight it you need to roll with it.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Check in with those stress levels, own them, they are a natural emotion, do not try and banish them learn to acknowledge the feeling of being stressed and how to cope with that feeling.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Love the lockdown photoshoot we had with @em.jphotos. what a great way to remember this strangest of years!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀#facebehindthebrand #thisisme #stressawarenessday #smallbusiness #stayhome #lockdown2.0 #lockddownphotoshoot #facetimeshoot #girlboss #mumbusiness #venuestylist #pinksofalover #pinksofa

Place Settings - ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀I am excited as tomorrow I will be starting my Christmas decor planning. I have had so many people express an interest in a Christmas hire collection from myself so tomorrow I will be bringing all the ideas bubbling inside my head together.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀It will be a complete table setup complete with personalised place names. Christmas is going to be a little different this year so its only right we dine in style.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Photo from: @beckyharleyphotog⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀#christmastablestyling #christmasplcesetting #placesetting #weddingstyling #weddingplacesetting #weddingtablescape #rusticluxe #calligraphyplacename #driedflowerplacesetting #trestletablestyling #tablescape #weddinginspo #twestyled #styledplacesetting #weddinginspo #married2021 #christmas2020 #lockdownchristmas

1 Wedding Ceremony Since March - ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Wow even in my first year of business I had more than that. What a crazy year 2020 has been. Full of constant challenges, tears and way to many chocolate HobKnobs. But amongst all the s**t is happiness. Moments of pure joy. Moments like when N & M said I do in front of my draped wooden pole arch, surrounded by candlelight. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀So whilst I feel like I am spinning and pivoting to the point my brain might explode. I love that I was still able to be a part of this gorgeous pairs day. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀photographer: @nickisheaphotography⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Venue: @barnsatredcoats⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Florist: becky_the_flower_bee⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀#ceremonygoals #hitchinwedding #outsideceremony #outdoorswedding #microwedding #marriedincovid #lockdownwedding #woodenpolearch #flowerarch #barnsatredcoats #couplegoals #shesaidido #persuepretty #married2021 #bedfordshirevenuestylist #bohowedding #realwedding #weddingdiaries #bohobride #relaxedstyling #unconventionalwedding

Right now its hard to know what to say - ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Depending on who you talk to and what you believe there are many different opinions on the message we should be talking about as wedding professionals on our Social Media. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀I feel I would be being false if I try and be overly optimistic right now. The new lockdown prevents any weddings except those in exceptional circumstances so yet again this feels like another set back for our industry. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀What I am going to shout about is our resilience, not just us in the wedding industry but everyone. We are all still here, we are still continuing to fight on! Our businesses are still alive and the very fact we have continued filling these little grids with beautiful content shows our strength and determination to keep bringing joy into peoples lives. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Yes all weddings and events may once again be cancelled, my financial predictions for November have been trampled over again. Despite all this I do have a feeling of positivity, I haven't sunk back into the black hole of March. There is lots to look forward to, I am pivoting and pivoting with each new announcement and there are exciting projects in the pipeline that COVID cannot take away from me.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀To all my couples I will be checking in with you over the next few days. Stay strong, keep your head up and know that I am here for you. Your future weddings are keeping this business alive and keeping me motivated to show up every day. To all future couples wondering about the stability of the wedding market, please get in touch! Know that I don't go down without a fight and that each new enquiry I get puts another spark in my heart. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Creating dream spaces is my job! Loved this setup with @flowers_at_fifty_eight and furniture from @nikkitapdesigns _hire venue: @horsleyhalefarm for @therusticweddingshow photographer: @annaticreates.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀#ceremonygoals #moongatearch
