This is probably the most "raw" post I've written since starting Garnet Weddings Ltd. Read on to learn more about why I started my own business.
Social media makes business life look so glamorous, polished and perfect, but it ain't all that in real life!
Weddings on social media were always white and formal, which gave me the "yuck" feeling. I started Garnet Weddings Ltd to help alternative couples plan their weddings to represent themself and have the day THEIR way.
I have come to realise that that isn't the only reason I started my business. When we had kids I had an identity crisis. Suddenly wearing whatever fit me like a huge pink shirt I hated, but it was comfy so it had to do. Navigating new life as a mum while trying to have time for myself let alone get back to working life, which btw is so difficult when the recruiters hear you have kids... ANYWAY!
Garnet Weddings Ltd, my beautiful alternative styled business, kept my identity alive. I poured my little metalhead ALTERNATIVE heart into my business. I poured my love for Gothic and Emo, the Nerdy and all in between. I don't know what I would be without it. Through my business I have met some absolutely incredible human beings who I adore as supplier friends but as just regular people doing their best in life too. I've had the priviledge to plan wonderful weddings and to pour my creativity to styled photoshoots to bring you timeless, alternative wedding inspiration.
What you see here at Garnet Weddings Ltd is ME! Raw, unfiltered, untamed, perfectly imperfect in a world that seems to want to stay "perfect" all the time. You get authenticity and genuine care for couples and suppliers as people with real feelings and dreams. Not just numbers.
You may not find a perfect Instagram grid or a post every single day. That's not me. I'm busy planning amazing weddings while looking after a young family and keeping things REAL.
If you want authenticity, alternative style and someone who really listens to your ideas then you're well and truly in the right place!
