Guest Blogger - White Satin Weddings
The opportunity to create White Satin came
when I had my little girl. Not really wanting to put my daughter in full time
childcare, I decided to take early redundancy after 7 years working in Finance.
During my pregnancy and on my maternity leave I used to think about what
inspired me, what I was passionate about, and things I always talked about or
had a great love for, and it always came back to weddings. After planning my own wedding and friends
weddings, I had thought that this was something I’d like to do full time, but
the opportunity never arrived, until now.

Deciding to start up a wedding planning
business at this period in time wasn’t easy but has both advantages and
disadvantages. The disadvantages being
that everyone has had to tightened their purse strings, and are having to use
friends and family who don’t have the expertise, to help out more with things
like creating invitations and the cake etc.
The advantages are that wedding planning services such as White Satin are there for every couple and determined to use skilled and professional suppliers, whilst keeping cost as low as possible.

White Satin finally launched in February
2011 with the aim to help create the dream wedding for all of our clients,
whilst always being personal, professional and offering peace of mind
throughout...
Where
did the business name come from? I wanted a name
that was wedding related but not to obvious or too clich'e. I came up with 5
name but all of the domains had been taken. I then decided to choose the colour
white, and satin came to me straight
away
How
do you come up with your inspiration - what influences
you? I love
to work with young suppliers they are so creative and I get most of my
inspiration from photographers. My ideas start off with me using things like
Pinterest to Google and looking through big department stores at the colours or
designs that they're displaying and then from there i put ideas
together.
What
would you call your ‘style’? Funky, fun, fresh and
individual
What
is currently your favourite theme? I'm not really
into themes, i prefer individuality but i do love it when a couple has an idea
that they want to use and they're not scared to go with it and be a bit daring
at times.
If
you could plan a wedding for anyone in the world who would it be and what would
you do? Oh my god Grace Jones! After watching her at
the Jubilee concert wow she is amazing. She would be a total nightmare to work
with but a challenge that would be. Her style is so crazy and she'd probably
want hula hoops involved somehow ha ha...!
If
you weren’t doing this job what do you think you would be doing? I would definitely be back working in finance as I worked really
hard and studied for a long time.
