I have been co-ordinating events for the last twenty years - weddings, celebrations, corporate and charity events — nothing is too small or too big for the team at Rainbow Weddings. People often ask “how did it all begin?” so I though I’d write a post explaining the story so far. I began organising events, mostly charity events, summer balls, luncheons, and fundraisers – family weddings and “Big” celebrations soon followed. Friends and acquaintances asked me to organise their weddings and special events. It was at this time that someone said “Why don’t you set up your own business?” Is there a market for it I asked myself?  Well, to cut a long story short, I took the plunge and Rainbow Weddings was born. Since the launch in April 2004 we have been voted the best up and coming company in the wedding industry and we have been asked to write articles in  Wedding Magazines.

It was a wet and windy March morning when, Addie, the Bride to be, Julie the Mum and Sarah the chief bridesmaid arrived at the Rainbow Showroom.

We got in the car and made our way to Ampthill for our first appointment at 10.00pm. We arrived at All things Bride and Beautiful and were met by Caroline, who was expecting us.

She spoke briefly about what to think about when buying a wedding dress and listened carefully to what Addie had to say. She asked Addie, together with her supporters to choose 4 dresses she would like to try on. They looked excitedly at all five rails and picked out six! Caroline explained the “rules” of trying and buying your wedding dress. She then started with the dress with the least full skirt and took Addie into the fitting room.

Last weekend the Rainbow Team were out in force for the Milton Keynes Wedding Show.

The show stoppers were the Twinkling Starlight backdrop, the balloon topiary tree table centre and the floating cloud (with canopy) for cake tables. These pieces attracted a lot of attention during the three day show, with many people commented on their originality.

During the show we met many of our current Brides, saw some old faces and met lots of new and excited Brides-to-be. It looks like its going to be another exciting and busy year for all involved in Rainbow.

We hope that those of you that came to the show had an enjoyable time and have lots of ideas to continue to plan your special day.

Happy and continued planning to you all!

Stop Press!

Rainbow Weddings are pleased to announce the debut of our “Twinkling Starlight Backdrop”.

At:

Milton Keynes Wedding Show

Friday 1st - Sunday 3rd February 2008

This freestanding backdrop will transform your top table photographs!
Come along and see just how special it is!

Look forward to seeing you there!

If you fancy popping down and chatting to us face-to-face, we will be exhibiting at several places in 2008.

Our first port of call will be back to the Milton Keynes Wedding Show for the fifth time. The show will be running from the 1st - 3rd February and will find us in Middleton Hall just outside John Lewis.

This is an opportunity for us to showcase some of our work and meet new brides and fellow professionals.

We hope to see you there!

As the year draws to a close, I thought it would be a good idea to reflect on what we have achieved this past year.

The start of 2007 saw us showing at several exhibitions and attending training courses to develop and enhance our skill base. Then as of March we were into our wedding season that went on until November, so we were kept busy and out of mischief. Two thousand and seven has been Rainbow Weddings busiest year to date, which has seen us travel further and more frequently then ever before. We have been to Northampton on several occasions, as east a Little Wymodley, Herts, as south as Stokenchurch, South Bucks and back to Letchworth and Aylesbury.
