Heraldic musings

So I have this new business - The Celebration Herald - or at least I have the branding, fabulous business cards, a bank account and several bills - and I wake up every day with a mile long list in my head of what I need to do, who I need to speak to blah de blah de blah. It all feels like it is happening but no one knows about it except my family (all very bored by now), my friends (all long sufferingly supportive) and my fab designer Thom. Anyway my very good friend Mel (writer@large) has told me to start a blog, and here I am. The website is the next item on the new business agenda and Thom and I start work on that next week. The reality of it intensifies day by day, but it is wonderful and exciting.
Next week I will actually have the first Celebration Herald, or in this case a Wedding Herald, in my hands! And a meeting with my first potential client! And a request to send a copy of the prototype mag to another potential client! I will take a picture and post it here and hope that others apart from me actually get to see it. Excuse the exclamation marks, but they do seem appropriate in a cosy cliched sort of way.
The Wedding Herald has been produced courtesy of my friend Jane who very generously 'gave' me her wedding and lots of great stories about her and her husband's childhoods, their early years together and their lovely family now. It looks amazing and is the perfect example of why everyone should have a Wedding Herald. Ceremony in Brighton Pavilion, reception on the Bluebell Railway and a great after-party in Sheffield Park Station - the pictures are beautiful, as is the bride of course, and it is full of lovely stories and memories.
