A message from the wedding suppliers who help to make your big day magical. It's not just the business we miss - it's you. It's the joy. It's the craft. It's the emotion. It's the butterflies. It's people.
Yes, in some instances we're getting some financial support just about keep us going, but for the wedding industry, that's not enough. We do our work because we love our work. We know it's corny, but that's how things are in the wedding industry.
It goes without saying that we feel for our couples and those who planned to get married this spring / summer (or even autumn). We're sorry that your plans might not happen the way you'd hoped and we'll do everything we can to ensure you have a wonderful day when the time comes. But, the wedding sector has also been hit hard.
Positivity
So, let's not dwell on the impacts of the 'C' word! We wanted to let you know what we're looking forward to when the industry rises to it's feet again! We got in touch with some of our wedding industry friends - our extended family - from Leicestershire and beyond and asked:
What's the one thing you're most looking forward to when the wedding industry kicks back into action? What have you missed? What do you love about your work?
Below are the responses we received alongside their Instagram accounts - check them out!

"For us building relationships with our brides is key, we’ve been able to do that with our Virtual appointments, however we’ve missed the face to face contact being able to support our lovely brides."
Sweet Chic // WEDDING CAKES
"Just EVERYTHING! The love, the wedding bug, obsession for perfection, creativity, the smiles, the laughter and surrounding myself in cake! (Flooding therapy I'm addicted to everything sweet) xx"
Bramble and Twine // WEDDING FLOWERS
"I’ve missed making wedding flowers for a real life wedding! 😂 My most favourite part of my job is doing all the finishing touches on the morning of the wedding and delivering all the flowers. Especially giving the Bride her bouquet. I get butterflies every time."

I LOVE when I place the final decoration at the venue and finally see all the elements of their wedding come together as one, just like they will 🤗😁🧀"
