Wedding creatives work really hard, so I wrote a blog to prove it!
I wanted to write about the going’s on behind the scenes so you could learn a little more about what goes into creating each wedding. Some of these weddings do end up on the grid and are sometimes put out there as inspirational or aspirational. But, what is important to note is that doesn’t mean there wasn’t tender, beautiful moments going on, behind the polished images, on the inside and on the lead up to these special days.
It struck me that you often see only the finished product and even then we have to make it eye-catching or engaging in the first few seconds of a reel. Sometimes that can seem like we’re only working towards the goal of being seen, being followed or being re-shared but there is a lot more heart and soul in every small business that is not visible, that you might not be well aware of. So in this article I’m going to walk you through what a day looks like, what a week looks like, and what each year looks like this wedding florists’ point of view.
