FLORAL ROMANCE Blossom Resin By Verity in Lancashire is a new company offering flower preservation. Couples can choose from a three-piece initial set, ring holders, paper weights, love signs, coasters, wall hangings and much more. We spoke to Verity McNally, the owner, to find out more about her company: “You plan your wedding down to every detail, and before you know it, you will be happily married! Being a floral preservation specialist, I know how best to dry your flowers and create stunning bouquet resin pieces that you will cherish forever. Epoxy Resin is a two part compound that, when combined, makes a chemical reaction and hardens to a solid piece that, once dry, means you can keep your wedding flowers forever. I have more than two years of experience using trusted methods. After my own wedding I delved into drying my wedding bouquet and preserving in resin, and now I give the same love and care to all my couples’ pieces. I can preserve whole flowers, press smaller blooms or use the petals to make a confetti-style design with something to suit every taste and budget. I am also launching a new bridal jewellery collection that ranges from minimal classic to boho chic pieces. All flower preservation orders are taken via my social media pages, so you can easily ask me any questions and it means I will get to know your style and preferences before making your piece. For all jewellery pieces and other resin creations, visit my Etsy or social media pages.” Head over to www.etsy.com/uk/shop/blossomresinbyverity and www.facebook.com/blossomresinbyverity for more information. NEW COMPANY ALERT! Shimmer North Cumbria is a new company offering shimmer sequin wall backdrops for weddings and special occasions. Based in Cumbria, the company offer a range of colours and designs to choose from. The owner, Catherine Moffet, tells us more: “We feel our shimmer walls are the missing piece to a gorgeous wedding day, adding a touch of class, luxury and a beautiful backdrop for special memories. We have recently purchased a glimmering gold shimmer wall, perfect for the big day and have branched out into bespoke balloon garlands to add a luxury feel to the walls. We offer neon signs which always go down a storm!” The team will be attending Cumbria’s Premier Wedding Show at Carlisle Racecourse on the 25th September, which is the perfect opportunity to discuss your big day with them.

This creative café provides a variety of workshops for the community, and Allure Venue Styling will soon be providing wedding workshops to help couples plan their special days. Dai Watson, the owner, said: “I have had a lot happen since the relaunch of the business in October last year. The company has suddenly exploded, and I’ve gone from working out of my own home to having a dedicated office and enough work that I’ve reluctantly had to turn events down. The new premises in Cleator Moor, from which Allure Venue Styling and The Creative Cup will be based, gives me the opportunity to run bridal workshops and small hen parties. This is still very much in its infancy, with the hope to open in September this year and for the bridal workshops to begin shortly afterwards. These workshops will cover everything from how to budget for your wedding, plan your day and how to create DIY décor.” To find out more, visit www.allurevenuestyling.co.uk and www.thecreativecupcumbria.org HAPPY ANNIVERSARY Flower B Florist, a studio-based florist in Lancashire, is celebrating two years of business. Owner, Belinda Buckley, tells us more: “I created Flower B Florist after my passion and love for all things flowers made me want to launch my own brand. Before this, I had worked as a florist for more than 15 years. Throughout my career, I have worked all around the UK in some fantastic locations for weddings and special events, giving me vast experience and knowledge. I offer a personal one-on-one service with the flexibility of venue and home consultations. Each design is bespoke and created by hand in a very natural and relaxed style using seasonal flowers. I love to make floral dreams come true and create everything from bridal bouquets to showstopping centrepieces and archways.” Check out more at www.flowerbflorist.co.uk www.mahoneypics.com www.orangeivyphotography.com GettyImages 10
