O/T Starting a wedding shop!

I haven't been on here for a while as Im mid flow seeing If I can open my own wedding shop....no need to reply just VERY excited!!

Oooo, I'm excited for you! Can I work for you when my Wedding has been and gone? Think I might have trouble letting go of the whole Wedding experience! lol

So what sort of things are you going to be selling? x

The plan is to have one of the 3 rooms as a photography studio and the rest a kind of one stop wedding shop. I thought I'd have to give up on the idea as it would be impossible to run by myself due to having 2 kids and being a wedding tog, therefore not always around on a friday and saturday.Then a friend called whose interested in investing and she also knows someone who is a wedding planner and has lots of weddingy things for hire and also lives 5 mins from me!...........Im soooooooooo excited!
Just got to sit down with them now and do the boring money bit!

The shop is gorgeous too I hope it all works out!

Well done for having the incentive to give it a go! You must be one of those ladies that juggles aspects of life with ease. I have 2 kids and a house to look after, and that's more than enough for me! lol

But you go for it hun, there's no reason why it shouldn't be successful, if you can get it started in the first place, and I know you're pasionate about it. Good luck, I hope it works out for you too. x

Awwwww thanks

I'm not in the mood for business plans right now so I'm planning the opening day...lol.....I'm going to invite everyone to come along in their wedding dresses for sparkly and wedding cake! and of course I'll have to wear mine..hee hee

Good luck!

What sort of stuff were you thinking of having?

Well the wedding planner already has a full stock of chair covers, napkins, runners and even dresses and the rest will be wedding accessories tiaras, jewelry, bits and bobs for centre pieces etcetc and alot of make you own type crafty things. Also a nice range in environmentally freindly items. It should be a place whrer you can come in and organise your whole wedding or just buy bits and bobs. It will also have and online shop front.
Then the photography side will obivously be available for actual weddings but also engagment shoots, boudoir and cherish/trash the dress shoots.

Im so excited hee hee!

Will this be in Kent? (Can't remember exactly where you are- Edenbridge is it?)

Yes thats right, the nearest town that everyone knows is Sevenoaks

Well lets us know when opening day is and I'll come and have a nosey!

Ooooh I will! I will be expecting eeryone on here to turn up in their gowns

Sounds great hunny! Would be so exciting to do nothing but talk weddings

Sorry to do it but got to do some plugging here. Once you start setting up, remember your lovely friend (me) is a graphic designer so can help with logos, signs, leaflets, posters and of course your website Lol Gimme a shout if you want to talk!

I'll remember that! And even if the shop doesn't take off, i need a new website so I'll be in touch!

Is that the piccie that you posted on FB? If so it looks lush - am very jealous - unfortunately no spare cash to help, I would love it!
