GOSH! What at whirlwind of a year for LLCo. For the most part I felt it flew by at 100mph but it was a year of learning more about running a hire company from home and all that brings with it, pushing my creativity on styled shoots and actual weddings and making more amazing friendships in the wedding industry. So basically, 2015 really rocked.

There are changes afoot for 2016, the control freak in me is going to need to let go a little as we look for someone to help with our deliveries and take on a little lending helper for our wedding day set ups. We’ve more styled stations in the pipeline and have been sourcing more cool as props to add to the range (Keep your peepers on our Instagram feed and Facebook page!) We’ve got more styled shoot collaborations coming up too to inspire all our fab lenders with big day big inspo too and we’ll be sharing from the results of our latest ‘Midnight luxe shoot’ with Swaffham Florists.

I worked with some incredible local ladies who have lifted me up land inspired me beyond measure. To you girls, who know who you are, thank you.

I’ve been blessed to be a contributor to B.loved wedding blog this year, with some of our fave styled shoots being featured. Thank you to the lovely Louise who’s just the best.

Highlights of the year :

STYLING REAL WEDDINGS was totally our highlight of the year. We got to work with some increible brides (and grooms) with so many fab ideas that we adored bringing to life. These couples put their trust in me for their wedding day and it was a massive honour and gave me so much joy.

Our styled shoots we’re featured on some of the UK’s biggest wedding blogs WEDDING SPARROW, FESTIVAL BRIDES & ROCK AND ROLL BRIDE. We we’re also featured in real weddings on LOVE MY DRESS and proud to be selected for The little book for brides directory.

Ok, I’m going to get gushy for a moment because I don’t get to do what I love without the support of each and every one of you. Our little lenders this year were just the best. It really will stand out as one of those years that I’ll keep safely in my heart.

We’re slowing down a tad over the festive season but you can slot in a little show shed viewing over the xmas break if you’re looking for a little inspiration to get your teeth into for the new year. You can contact us here. We’ll be back officially on Monday 4th January though.

Peace and Love and a very merry Christmas to you lovely people. See you on the other side.
