Your Yorkshire Wedding - Page number 9 - July/August 2021 (Issue 49)

GETTING PERSONAL Did you see the gorgeous real wedding of Beth and Michael Copley in our last issue? The talented pair also run a wonderful business, BC Creative, providing personalised items for weddings. “While on furlough during the pandemic, I found that I was expressing myself more artistically and decided to take the leap and start my own business,” Beth says. “I produced and designed my own stationery for my wedding in November 2019 and had always wanted to start a business in this industry.” BC Creative offer products for all types of wedding, but the couple particularly enjoy small, intimate weddings where the newlyweds personalities really shine through. “This is because it was the type of wedding we planned ourselves,” Beth explains. “I find clients that aren’t afraid to show off their personalities are the best to work with as it gives me more scope to get creative.” Find out more at www.bc-creative.co.uk FLORAL FABULOUSNESS We chat to the lovely owners of Tweedle Floral Design (www.tweedlefloraldesign.co.uk) , Erika McManus & Samantha Taylor… Tell us about your business... Tweedle Floral Design consists of a partnership, Erika McManus and Samantha Taylor. Our small floristry business and home-based workshop is in Wakefield, although we do travel further afield for larger events. We choose to work with sustainable methods of floristry and use foam-free mechanics in all our work. What’s your favourite type of wedding to work on? We value each and every booking we get because of the individuality of the couple; it’s amazing how different everyone’s floral vision for their day can be. We love to make that a reality for them – no matter the palette, theme or inspiration behind it. What’s your top tip for couples choosing their flowers? Think about seasonality. If you’re set on having particular flowers, then let your florist know so they can check availability for your big day. If they’re not available, your florist will have the knowledge to provide alternatives that will deliver the same impact. Have you diversified during the pandemic? The pandemic has confirmed that the power of flowers is huge. We wouldn’t normally have such a big focus on gift bouquets, but we have found that when family members could not be with one another for special occasions then we could provide that connection with our doorstep deliveries.
