Marketing

The business cards arrived yesterday - they look quite good.
So that is my husbands job - he is in sole charge of marketing.

Did a few hours on the website last night updating jewellery.

Hopefully having a website free day tomorrow - if the weather is dry we will be out and about.

Working Hard

Been working really hard on the site over the last few days. It took me a whole night to get the "open in new window" to work on the site. But I managed it, and got all the stationery listed. Getting somewhere.

Today has been busy, as I am a full time working mum with the business as a sideline!

Sadly my stationery supplier has had to pull out, just as we were getting started. She is off to bigger and better things - so I wish her all the best for the future.

Bridal Tiaras Jewellery Teddies and Wands!

This site is taking quite a while to get up and running, but I keep telling myself if it is fully functioning by Xmas 2008 then that will be great.

All the Jewellery ( necklaces, bracelets, ear rings, childrens jewellery and one-off pieces) are now loaded! Many many pieces with the WOW factor and just perfect for brides and everyday wear.
Also added some great jewellery for the flower girls in mind .. check it out here

Personalised items are are slowly increasing - the personalised teddy and stunning wands are just magic. These can be seen here http://www.weddingandbaby.co.uk/personalised.htm



Stationery - this stuff is to die for. Top quality card and pure luxury embellishments. So many to add but I have made a start on that.

Start of the new Venture


My husband and I decided to create this business after coming back from Benidorm on holiday. A week back to work and I knew I had to do something I enjoyed!


We are not entirely new to the wedding scene. I had a successful wedding stationery business from 2003 to 2006. When my son was born in 2005 I found it difficult to maintain the amount of time required to complete all the orders and had to give it up. I am thankfull to my husband for the endless baby sitting he did when I was completing orders.


As the business was nearing an end my husband suggested the one stop shop, to which at the time I dismissed.


Now 2 years later and with my son just turned 3 we are ready to start the venture we never pursued.


And so Wedding and Baby is born.
