Why I Love Weddings!

13th October 2020 by Gemma Leave a Comment

Lets face it 2020 has been shit if you work in the wedding and events industry. The past month has probably been the toughest for us all, just as we thought the tide was changing, the rug gets pulled from under us. The icing on the cake has been the suggestion that our businesses (that we have built from scratch with love and passion) aren’t viable. Not worthy of support and The Business Secretary even dared to suggest we should get Better Jobs!

It is so hard to not be angry at everyone especially those making the decisions that effect all of our lives. After months and months of fighting to keep a business going to then basically be kicked down either further, it is hard to keep swimming and fighting every day to keep a business you love alive. Our businesses are more than viable, we are probably the only industry guaranteed to succeed with 2021 and 2022 bookings scheduled into our diaries. We just need a little help to get to the other side.

With all that said this post isn’t an angry one! It’s a joyous one!

After picking myself up off the floor I went back to the reason I started this little biz! A biz that keeps my daughter in nursery, puts shoes on her feet and allows us the little treats in life we all live for.

That reason is that I BLOODY LOVE WEDDINGS!

You can’t work in the wedding industry if you’re miserable, we are a glass half full gang, we deal in joy! We bring families together, put smiles on peoples faces, fill rooms with laughter and capture peoples hearts. We produce once in a lifetime moments… that is our job!

I have been growing my Venue Styling business in Bedfordshire for over 6 years, I have seen small DIY weddings, I have seen 6 figure weddings, I have styled weddings in Italy and they all have one thing in common. A celebration of Love! True love cannot be forced or bought! The Government maybe prioritising financial institutions and ‘traditional’ sectors, it may feel like they are restricting us, neglecting us and casting us aside but they will never be able to break the spirits of the wedding industry! We get up every day because the very nature of our work gives people a reason to keep on going. Yes we may not be saving lives but we give people hope, we create events and we provide escapism from the day to day world that weighs so heavily on our shoulders.

Throughout our lives we are all noted in history one of three times, when we are born, when we die and if we choose to marry. That date is forever recorded as a symbol of 2 families joining together. Forever providing a date for future generations to track back to, a date that says, THIS IS US and WE WERE HERE.

A wedding unites families that would have otherwise been strangers, it brings everyone you love together in one space. There are very few times in life when that genuinely happens. A wedding is a day you wish will never end and you will always reflect back on and hold dear. The day you make your public declaration of love to the person who makes you smile everyday and picks you up when you are down.

Yes there are those who view weddings as expensive for just one day and those people are relishing the demise of the big celebration right now. But this is one day in your whole life, a day you will (hopefully) never get to repeat, this is your day. I believe the cost of a wedding is fully justified. The industry is full of talent and skill, businesses that have spent years and thousands of pounds learning and evolving. No one challenges ‘traditional industries’ on their costs. The wedding industry is self sufficient never having asked for government support we have kept our heads down and worked hard. We are our own little ecosystem with each wedding feeding a whole plethora of industries from big multi million pound well oiled machines to solo kitchen table businesses, all of them building each other up with each new booking. All with one thing in common… a genuine passion for their job.

Everyone deserves their ‘Cinderella Moment’ a chance to stand proudly at the top or bottom of the aisle and say ‘This is me, This is Us!’ A moment to cast aside their day to day, to be more than their job title, to be more than a daughter or a son, to be more than their social media makes them feel. For one day to feel like they are the luckiest person in the world, with everyone there for them and them alone.

The people I work amongst are fighters, they are hard working, they are determined. They are full of strength and passion, with smiles constantly on their faces, refusing to give up. Constantly putting their customer first even though their whole livelihood is falling apart. Many of us work alone but it never feels that way, the guys and gals I am lucky enough to work with have become my closest allies and the best of friends!

Nothing else matters in a wedding apart from the celebration of love, the chance to share your life with someone, to declare that you will forever walk the path ahead with the person who stands beside you. If we cannot celebrate that, than what can we celebrate? Love will always win and weddings will always continue and we will still be here to give you the best day of your life!

The Story- ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Behind ever The Story-⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Behind every shoot I do there is always a background story. Something I imagine to help give the shoot depth and meaning. It’s not always vocalised but it helps me envision the shoot In it’s broader context. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀No different to a real wedding where behind every day there is a lifetime of story making. Which reminds me this week I have to write up the concept and ideas behind this gorgeous shoot! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Concept & Venue: @huntsmillfarmweddingsPhotographer: @hannahhallphotographyDécor & Styling: @thewhiteemporiumFlorist: @wildsapphirefloristHair: @kateatalaybespokehairMUA: @alikynochDresses: @thth_bridesmaidsCake: @deliciouslydivineStationery: @papergraceukBridal Crown: @capedandcrownedCatering: @dimblebeecateringModel: @a.wmodelcoupleVideographer: @calmacbeth.weddings⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀#moodyblues #stonebarnwedding #venuestylingbedfordshire #weddinginspiration #weddingstylist #weddingtablescape #rusticvenue #venuestylist #twestyled #weddinginspiration #weddingstyling #2023wedding #2022wedding #weddingvenuestyling

As well as keeping a baby alive there is a super exciting project under construction that is taking quite a lot of my brain space as I contemplate the next few years for this little biz. Covid and all the lockdowns really clipped my wings and hampered my ability to dream but amongst the baby brain fog I am starting to plan for the future again and it’s looking exciting!!!Also shout out to the amazing @leeallisonphotography as you would never know this was shot in the torrential rain! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Concept & Planning by @fieldsandfestoons ⠀​​​​​​​​Venue @woodlandhollowweddings ⠀​​​​​​​​Photography @leeallisonphotography ⠀​​​​​​​​Videography @creativesparkfilms ⠀​​​​​​​​Styling & Decor @thewhiteemporium ⠀​​​​​​​​Florals @theflowermill6 ⠀​​​​​​​​Grazing @thebountifultable ⠀​​​​​​​​Cake & Desserts @onepartlovebakery⠀​​​​​​​​Yurt @fmtents ⠀​​​​​​​​Light Canopy @stardusteventsuk ⠀​​​​​​​​Models @ts_modelcouple ⠀​​​​​​​​Hair @danicazurawelhair ⠀​​​​​​​​Make Up @chloe_eleanormua ⠀​​​​​​​​Gown @theweddingworkshopampthill ⠀​​​​​​​​Bridal Accessories @rachelsokhalbridal ⠀​​​​​​​​Stationery @oliveandmillicent ⠀​​​​​​​​Furniture @nikkitapdesigns_hire⠀​​​​​​​​ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀#vintagewedding #yurtwedding #woodlandwedding #vintagedecorhire #vintageweddingstyling #vintagestyle #ukwoodlandwedding #weddingstyling #weddinginspiration #married2022 #married2023 #timelesswedding #shesaidyes #weddingtable #tablestyling #weddinginspo #summerwedding #weddingstylist #venuestylist #2022wedding #2023wedding #weddingvenuestyling

What’s my favourite? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀I got asked the other day what my favourite type of venue was, weather it was a tipi, a barn, country manor, a sail cloth? The answer is… I don’t have a favourite. I love variety, I love that I get to work in many different locations. I love spaces that can be a blank canvas, where we can work to put your own personal stamp on the space. The only thing I’m not a fan of is a patterned carpet and luckily I don’t have to work with many of those. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀This year I’m booked to style tipis, big vast barns, stretch tents on private land, a ruined church and each one will be completely unique! Items to hire in image: log slice table numbers, coloured and vintage bottles, brass candlesticks.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Venue: @tiptopvenues_ Tipi: @countrytipis Photographer: @emilylittlephotography Flowers: @flowers_at_fifty_eight Napkins: @thelinenhire ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀#tipiwedding #festivalwedding #brightandboldwedding #tablestyling #miltonkeyneswedding #venuestylistbedford #decorhirebedford #weddinghirebedfordshire #tipistyling #farmwedding #outdoorbride

Quietness- ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’ve been Quietness-⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀I’ve been a little quiet here lately. There is a lot going on behind the scenes that I am so excited to share with you hopefully within a couple of months. Lucy has been taking the helm on the admin front for me and it’s allowed me to attempt to take a little step back so I can think about the direction the business is heading in over the next few years and gosh that requires a lot of head space! It’s also been a bit of a mad month with 4 weddings taking up most of my keeping in touch days. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Who has been thinking about their place settings? I thinkIt always pays off to give these areas a little extra thought.Hired items in this photo are white table runner. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Venue: @strattoncourtbarnGorgeous bright florals from @theflowerstoryPhoto credit: @storyandcolourVenue: @strattoncourtbarn⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀#tablescape #weddingtabledecor #barnwedding #barnweddings #barnweddingvenue #strattoncourtbarn #realweddinginspiration #laidbackluxe #springwedding #twestyled

Happy Easter Weekend! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Happy Easter Weekend!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀I felt like I haven’t been able to breath for the past 2 weeks as Covid rampaged through our house hold just in timefor back to back weddings and a branding shoot. Luckily I remained negative for the first and then super hubby stepped up and covered off a dry hire drop off and collection, saving the day. Ever since Weddings picked up again I have been dreading that double line. Finally putting into action the contingency plans that have been made for every wedding since 2020 just in case. Now for a long weekend and to rest and recharge to tackle the next 2 weddings in May. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Furniture: @nikkitapdesigns_hireFlorals: @charlesandfayePhotographer: @matthoranphotographyVenue: @greenacresweddings⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀#tablescape #tablescapeinspo #weddinginspiration #bohobride #outdoorbride #laidbackluxe #outdoorwedding #woodlandwedding #woodlandweddingvibes #trestletablestyling #burntorangewedding #married2022 #greenacresweddings #calligraphytablenumbers #venuestylist #laidbackluxe #seasonalshift #woodlandweddinginspiration #driedflowerwedding #driedflowerstyling #twestyled #autumnalvibes

Plan Bs ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Originally thi Plan Bs⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Originally this wedding was meant to feature one long table winding through the trees but the good old British weather had other plans. With a day full of rain the tables all had to fit under a small marque. This is where having a stylist on hand proved essential. Because it was a woods, the space the marque went in was not level, my team and I spent ages figuring out the best table arrangement so everyone could stay dry and the tables were all level. We also improvised some extra draping to hang from the ceiling to stop the marque looking so bare. What’s more the bride, groom and guests had no ideas of all the table manoeuvring! J&J used a take the weight off styling service to help bring their look together which is invaluable for a venue where you only have day access. Their tables featured mini groups lanterns, burnt orange table runners, brass candle sticks and brass edge frames.Furniture: @nikkitapdesigns_hireFlorals: @charlesandfayePhotographer: @matthoranphotographyVenue: @greenacresweddings⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀#tablescape #tablescapeinspo #weddinginspiration #bohobride #outdoorbride #laidbackluxe #outdoorwedding #woodlandwedding #woodlandweddingvibes #trestletablestyling #burntorangewedding #married2022 #greenacresweddings #calligraphytablenumbers #venuestylist #laidbackluxe #seasonalshift #woodlandweddinginspiration #driedflowerwedding #driedflowerstyling #twestyled #autumnalvibes
