News Update
Hello there everyone, hope you all had a relaxed, loved up weekend! Lots of WBZL news for you this morning.
On Friday I headed over to Battersea Park for the Designer Wedding Show. It was fab to see some familiar faces and to meet some new ones too. I met calligrapher Paul Antonio who was kind enough pen the above for me and also the lovely Emily and Jo who were showcasing their rather gorgeous range of contemporary stationery. This is one of my favourites:
I met the charming and uber talented Peggy Porschen who’s cakes look even better in real life than they do in print and caught up with the lovely Vanessa Gore of You and Your Wedding Magazine to chat over some of the new trends we’re seeing at the moment.
There were some beautiful dresses on the runway including the SATC Vivian Westwood gown! My favourite collection was by Jenny Packham which as usual screamed old school glamour and sophisitication. In particular, Joy caught my eye:
It really was a fab day and as I was leaving, I felt proud that there is such a selection of amaing talent available to couples in London. Hooray!
In other news, we’re delighted to announce the launch of a couple of great new blogs. First up, the wonderful and all round wedding planning guru, Bernadette Chapman has joined the blogosphere. Prepare for planning tips, inspiration and wedding news galore! Second up, we’ve been working really hard alongside Bernadette and the other lovely directors of the UK Alliance of Wedding Planners to launch a new blog. The blog is part of the UKAWP’s aim of improving professionalism within the planning industry and is jam packed full of tips, discussion topics, showcase weddings and much, much more. If you’re a fellow planner be sure to stop by or even consider coming along to WPE ’09; a training conference for established planners. The weekend is set to be fab and we’re slightly flabberghasted to have been asked to speak all about blogging on the Saturday!
If you’re not quite established enough to join us at WPE ’09 but would love to find out more about becoming a wedding planner, I would really would encourage you to think about completing one of the UKAWP’s training courses. We completed one right back at the beginning and have never looked back.
Phew! I think that’s all our excting news for now. Have a great week everyone.
