The Wedding Herald sample mag was a great success - and the feedback has been tremendously valuable. A handbag size version will now be available, and I am hoping that current 'talks' with soon-to-be brides bear fruit - Wedding Heralds out there being enjoyed by family and friends worldwide!
An upcoming family 18th birthday, another family birthday today and a 21st birthday celebration for a close family friend last week have got me thinking about how we celebrate. Obviously trying to launch a business based solely on celebrations in any shape or form might have something to do with that! But other types of celebration are looming large too - new jobs, university interviews, university offers, new lives abroad, new babies. So how to do it? How to celebrate the different and important things that impact so strongly on how we live, and that can often change the paths and choices that we make.
Cake has been an important part of most celebrations - fortunately! For the 21st party I had a wonderful cake made by the fabulous Patisserie Viennoise in Otley. The cake placed the birthday girl in a setting that was dear to her heart, surrounded by her favourite and often infamous possessions - including the bunny that she brought home from university (sadly no longer with us but fondly remembered by all!!) Choclate eclairs, strawberry tarts, carrot cake (one portion of veg of course) bought from a local bakery have been consumed with relish as we chatted about and planned upcoming celebrations. Designs for possible cakes have also been discussed and orders will be placed soon!
Friends have sent me wonderful stories of their own celebrations and these will be featured on the website - OBEs, murder mystery parties, weddings, 30th birthday celebrations at Headingley and many more. Each and every story, with accompanying pics, convince me more and more that there are some fabulous celebration stories out there - I just need to find customers to let me share these stories on their behalf!
