I was happy to co-ordinate the wedding of two lovely people last Saturday at a new Venue for me. The couple desperately wanted a Marquee wedding and both animal lovers thought a farm setting would be perfect! They chose Snelson Farm which is situated between Lavenham and Harold deep in the beautiful Bedfordshire countryside.

Many clients and colleagues have asked that very question. Why weren’t you at the MK Exhibition and indeed why haven’t we seen you on the Circuit?

The answer is simple: - Sadly my Mother was diagnosed with Lung Cancer and needed constant care. So she moved in with us. My Father was disabled and needed support, but was fiercely independent and decided to stay in his own home, but needed me to pick him up every day to enable them time together. As you can imagine my time was sparse and priority was to my Parents and to my existing Brides, so any marketing or development of my business had to stop and be put on the back burner!

It is always very sensible to have some sort of receptacle for collecting Cards and monetary gifts. Sadly cards and vouchers get lost at weddings. Sometimes the temptation is too great and cards with vouchers or cash go missing.

It’s horrible to think the worse but this can happen! I have personal experience of a Bride and Groom opening a card from an Aunt, who gave them £50.00 cash, she suggested they open it as she wanted to make sure they had received it! The Bride thanked her Aunt, put the money back in the card and then inside the envelope and left it with the other cards on the table, the money was stolen! How sad was that? Most wedding Gifts were ordered on line but this lady didn’t trust Computers so gave cash instead – which is very common for elderly Guests!

It was a very busy show and we were pleased to welcome everyone who stopped to visit our stand and also our Past Brides who came to see us and to look at photographs of their wedding receptions.

The interest was as predicted; the traditional fresh floral arrangements and table decorating sets which were very well received. As too was the ever popular balloon table topiary tree with feathers.

There were lots of general questions about wedding planning and our renounced design and decoration service and lots of interest in the items for hire. But the most popular items by far were the new foam flower bouquets. Many Brides and their Friends were fascinated by them and couldn’t help themselves picking them up and smelling them!
