Wedding Supplier Wednesday - Lobster Love

HAPPY Wedding Wednesday! Today we are featuring the wonderful Laura from Lobster Love, based in a sleepy village in the South-East, who make bridal and special occasion jewellery which is inspired by the sea.

I’ve been making jewellery since I was small, it was as I was planning my own wedding I realised that this is what I truly love doing. My website has only been live for a couple of months but I’ve been working behind the scenes at LobsterLove for about a year

I’m really passionate about creating beautiful jewellery and accessories for special occasions, especially weddings!

Although I offer some ‘classic’ bridal designs I’m more about colourful creations and contemporary designs such as the 1950’s inspired polka-dot ribbon necklaces.
I also cater for wedding guests, so if anyone is planning on going to a wedding I can make them something beautiful to go with their outfit which can be worn again
I love receiving bespoke commissions especially when brides e-mail pictures of their amazing wedding dresses. I also love seeing pictures of the weddings and seeing my Lobster creations dazzling away
Here at LobsterLove I aim to provide gorgeous jewellery and accessories perfect for brides, bridesmaids and wedding guests. Many of the designs are suitable for wearing again and again and would make special presents.

As everything is lovingly handcrafted to order it gives the opportunity to change colours, choice of materials and size, please just ask. Bespoke orders are positively encouraged



Laura, you have some gorgeous pieces THANK YOU for allowing us to feature you on the blog! If you would like to contact Lobster Love they can be found ONLINE , blog ramblings are BLOG and TWITTER

Have a nice week and if i can help you with anything contact me on 07904123297.

THANKS!

Happy Sunny Wedding Supplier Wednesday!

We have a lovely one for you today, the very helpful Laura from Little White Book Wedding & Event Management, based in Sheffield, South Yorkshire who specialize in Wedding Design and Management.Laura grew up in the wedding industry, and here is her story. My mum is a seamstress and our house was always full of big sparkly wedding gowns. Which was amazing for a girl wanting to grow to be a princess!!! Eventually I got a job working as a event planner, I was quickly promoted and started working on the weddings. It was then I knew I had found my niche, five years later I left my job, Little White book was born I haven't looked back since.
I have been trading now for around 18 months and they have been the hardest yet most rewarding 18 months of my life. i have been so lucky to feature in so many amazing wedding magazines, both in the UK and abroad.
I like to think that my experience of the wedding industry sets me apart from my competition. I've planned hundreds of weddings and events and each one has been unique and special!!!
I LOVE working in the industry, every day brings something new, whether that’s a new bride, event or just general musing of other professionals sharing their ideas!!

Friday 13th - good for some....

...and especially good for those getting Diamonds today!

We have had a crazy week! We delivered one of the most beautiful Wedding Bands we have ever made to a lovely couple, who are actually getting married TODAY so best of luck to them, AND we delivered a stunning Engagement ring to a very nervous client who is popping the question THIS WEEKEND!! BEST OF LUCK for that too! We will follow up these stories with photos next week!Today we are finishing an unusual Black Diamond Engagement Ring for a very lucky lady indeed! Black diamonds have become increasingly popular since the latest Sex and the City Film was released and 'Big' gave 'Carrie' one at the end. They have always been a fav of ours at JKD so we are pleased to be able to work with them more often.MrsJKD actually owns a pair of Black Diamond earrings and they are one of her prize possessions!
Wednesday night saw the Party of the season, when the lovely Kat from RocknRoll Bride Blog invited some of her fav Wedding Suppliers along to Mezo on Wardour Street for a cocktail (or two) and a general chit chat. It was LOVELY to meet some of our fellow industry professionals in the flesh and put some faces to names, some of whom we have been speaking to via Twitter and emails for quite some time! It was a complete triumph and i cant wait to read Kat's write up about the evening (i hear Lady GaGa might come up at some point!) Kats Blog photo is c/o the BRILLIANT Emma Case CHECK HER OUT!

We would also like to thank Kat for giving us a 'Rockstar Vendor' badge! It really means allot knowing a blog as reputable as RocknRoll Bride like our work! THANKS!!!! insert *BIG SQUEAL from MrsJKD* We are also THRILLED to announce we debuted at NUMBER 14 in The Top 100 UK Wedding Tweeters List today! Wedding suppliers are ranked by influence, not just follower numbers. A whole host of other criteria are used to get an idea of the popularity and 'quality' of these social media super stars and we are suitably CHUFFED to say the least!! Check out the full list HERE for more information.

We are off to Vintage at Goodwood this weekend and we cant wait - we shall report back next week how it all goes.

Have a lovely weekend all! and remember, if we can help you with any bespoke jewellery drop us an email on Jon@Jonkeithdiamonds.co.uk or call us on 07904123297.

Wedding Supplier Wednesday - Mollys Little Bakery

Good Morning - the sun is shinning in London what more could you ask for......another Wedding Supplier Wednesday i hear you cry...oh ok if you insist!
Today we have a cracker of a company for you, as we spent this week speaking with the lovely Ros from MOLLYS LITTLE BAKERY based in Swanley, Kent, which was launched in August 2009 so is a year old now - Happy Birthday MLB! They have had a fantastic year, and this is what Ros has to say about them:



After years of making cupcakes for friends and family & being told they were delicious, I finally decided to take the plunge and start up my own cupcake business. It wasn't a decision I took lightly but after lots of research, testing my sponge & buttercream icing recipes I finally felt ready to launch. Alot of our work comes from recommendations, which for us is the best type of advertising as we know we're doing something right! Cupcakes are so versatile, they can be as over the top or as plain as you would like. It's entirely up to you and here at Molly's Little Bakery we always listen to what the customer wants




Seeing our customers face when they receive their cupcakes is the best part for us! After all the work that has been put into creating them it's an absolute pleasure to hear great feedback & lots of 'ooooh and ahhhs' when they see the box! Especially when it's been ordered as a surprise, I'd certainly like to receive a box of cupcakes hand delivered in a pretty box - who wouldn't?!




Molly's Little Bakery specialize in homemade & handmade cupcakes for all occasions. Whether it is for a Wedding, Birthday, hen party or just to cheer someone up we can help. Our prices start from £1.50 per cupcake and for orders over 30 we offer a discount. If you want cupcakes for your wedding we offer a Wedding Consultation where you get to take home a box of sample cupcakes, we discuss design, flavours and of course the all important budget! This is a totally free service and available to any couple getting married so please just get in touch with us to arrange a date. We also have stands for hire - from wire, china & a 7 tier perspex stand which looks glorious when topped with our pretty cupcakes. We use only the best ingredients such as free range eggs so rest assured not only will your cupcakes look fabulous but they'll taste just as good!




We found that there was no middle ground with cupcakes - you had either the high end of the market, who can charge anything from £4 per cupcake which is something most people can't afford, or the lower end such as supermarkets where the cupcakes don't taste all that! We wanted to make cupcakes accessible to all and by starting Molly's Little Bakery we feel that everyone can afford cupcakes regardless of whether it's a gift box of 6 or 100+. We regularly run competitions and offers, such as Children's Birthday Party giveaway, fundraisers for charity and Summer discounts, so you get an even better deal on our yummy cupcakes. Our service is also a very personal one, I work alone so you deal with me from start to finish! We go through the design you have in mind and I'm always happy to offer my advice if you aren't sure what you would like on your cupcakes, if not just tell me and I'll follow your orders! We don't use a courier or postal service so rest assured your cupcakes will always arrive in perfect condition.





You can read all about the stories behind the orders on our lovely little BLOG or find us on FACEBOOK along with Reviews from our loyal customers. If you would like to place an order or receive a quote please contact us on info@mollyslittlebakery.co.uk or 07905 848 080. We can't wait to hear from you!








HUGE THANK YOU to Ros for allowing us to feature her lovely Cupcake Company - and wishing you continued success with your business!
