Do you love weddings? Would you like to work in the wedding industry?
Lots of wedding businesses started as a hobby.
Many wedding suppliers started trading just after they organised their own wedding or helped a friend to organise a wedding.
Would you like to learn how to make bridal headpiece on a professional level?
You could work from home, meeting with clients in person or selling bridal headpieces online.
We can provide the know-how …. you can make it happen!
Such a lovely idea to post those books on World Book Day. When I got married, way back a while ago, I don’t think there were books to help organise the wedding. We just kept making lists. I love the idea of the planner so you keep on top of everything.
This wedding planning book looks quite interesting. I am going to buy “An Expert’s Guide to Planning Your Perfect Day, Your Way”. I am sure this will help me with my wedding business.
I didn’t even know Moleskin made these. I love the look and feel of their journals.
I first saw the wedding planner when I was in a Moleskin shop in London – it is gorgeous, it really has a nice luxury feel about it.
I like the idea of books and poems around weddings – it would be lovely to read about the celebration of love in a poem! And you’re right, it would make a great keepsake too.
Thanks, it’s quite a simple book but it is really lovely.
It;s so good to see these books which can be such a great help with one’s wedding. During our days it would just be an itemized list continuing from what was seen around and following rituals. Weddings are so exciting now with such great ideas.
I remember when I first got engaged, one of the first things I did was buy a magazine. There seem to be less wedding magazines in shops these day but there is also more books on this topic.
I’m not getting married anytime soon. However, reading this post, got me excited. Makes want to start buying books about Weddings and get some inspirations.
These books would be a great help when planning a wedding. I especially like the handmade wedding book. It’s always nice to receive a handmade wedding favor.
yes, that’s true, handmade items make the wedding more special.
Planning a wedding can be stressful but it is nice having guides and books like these to help out.
I didn’t realize there were so many great resources out there for the bride and groom to be… I wish we had a book when we were doing our planning – something that would walk us through the process so that I didn’t spend the whole time worried that I was forgetting something important lol
This is such a great resource. Having a good quality wedding planning book is a must x
