Hi everyone
I hope you are all keeping safe in the midst of all the crazy! Apologies for the lack of blog posts recently – life has been pretty busy recently after the outbreak of Covid19 and unfortunately, my wedding blog has definitely been neglected.
I’m currently lying in a heap, exhausted from another week of being teacher to P1, P2 and P3 – so I thought this was the perfect opportunity to fill you all in on what’s been happening!
I’ll be honest, the virus is definitely beginning to take its toll! My whole business (like many others) is in complete disarray and my 2020 diary is simply turning out to be one big scribble. This year was meant to be the busiest EVER however I’m just going to have to wait for that to be next year instead. I cant wait and some of the weddings that are still to come are going to be amazing!
To all my Brides and Couples – your planning, hopes and wedding dreams have been completely turned on their head! There is actually nothing anyone can say or do to make this situation any better except to say, “I am here for you, and I can’t wait to be part of your special day whenever that may be.”
What I have tried to do in the interim is highlight some amazing businesses specific to the wedding industry in Ireland. Monday and Thursday night chats on Instagram live have really kept me going and has provided some helpful information for couples who have had to reschedule their wedding or in the midst of their planning. Businesses have included;
