Getting Married in 2013 ?

OK, so you have probably worked out by now that my business is in Weddings...... So I turn on the news on the 1st of January 2013 for a report to be shared that NO ONE is getting married in 2013 because of its superstitious date!

Is this TRUE?
Are YOU getting married this year?
What is your opinion?

According to the news report many venues and businesses are offering special 'deals' to entice those getting married so that they don't postpone their wedding to 2014.

Are people REALLY this superstitious that the number 13 will bring bad luck to their marriage?

If I, for one was thinking about getting married over the next few years, I would probably bring the date forward and choose to get married in 2013 just to prove people wrong! - That a number will not affect how happy my marriage is, or the longevity of it.

And even if I did get married in 2013 and my marriage didn't last, could I really blame the number 13 for this? - surely marriages don't last for much more serious reasons than this!

As this article reports; At the BBC

"Many superstitious people believe that getting married in 2013 is a bad idea, because they associate the number 13 with bad luck.

But with some wedding venues offering discounts, it could turn out to be a wise choice financially, as Sophie Van Brugen reports."

So.... are you getting Married in 2013?
According to reports, are you expecting discounts?

And what about Wedding suppliers like myself?
Are you a photographer/florist/wedding venue? - Will you be offering couples a discount so that they can get married in 2013?

Also, have you already been affected by the number13 and have found yourself in the situation that you don't have as many weddings booked into your diary this year?

Brand New Wedding Website

Hello, I hope you like my new look website. This has been quite a time coming as I have been working with my web people for the majority of the year working on the site. I am now proud to announce that my new site is up and running - and I am extremely proud of it. I appreciate all of your comments and will be running a very exciting competition very soon. In the meantime, I hope you will have an explore around my site and leave any feedback. My website started off with humble beginnings in 2003. I asked my cousin to design it. It was very simple and got straight to the point! Then in 2010 I decided that I needed a re-design. This is when I researched web people and decided upon using Hope and Creed . They offer a friendly, relaxed service and are extremely informative throughout the entire process. By the end of 2012 I was getting a little bit sick and tired of pink! I loved my website, but it was a website that ONLY showed my wedding hair and make up work

Harry Derbidge Boutique - Harry's World

Thursday was a great fun day spent with Annabelle's Wigs; Harry Derbidge recently got in touch with Annabelle's Wigs with a photo and asked if four wigs could be made up for his shop mannequins in his Boutique in Essex. 'Harry's World' The wigs arrived so we jumped in the car to take them up, style them and to start a new 'hairy' trend with mannequins; Meet Barbara and Wendy - Harry's mannequins with their new hair...... extra high with extra length! Harry checking out the fringe..... he is a happy, happy chappie! Harry asked for two more wigs the same style but in different colours to be made up so that he can change the hair colours from time to time. Modelled by Harry and Myself ! Who says that work can't be fun? Harry is such a cutie that he wouldn't let us leave without giving us a little prezzie from his shop..... Love

making over Arg from Towie to look like Tom Cruise in Rock of ages for Closer Magazine

So, last month I received a phone call from celebrity make up artist Natacha Schmitt asking me if I can cut and style a wig for Arg from Towie. The spec was that we were to make him look like Tom Cruise in Rock of Ages seeing as it was coming out on DVD that week. The hoot was in London and we was to create two looks, copying poses from the film. Straight away I got on the phone to Annabelle's Wigs and ordered the relevant wig for me to 'hack' into. Ready and armed with wig, I set off to the London studio where we was shooting. Once there, the photographer said that we was recreating a shot where a wind machine was used to blow up the hair behind the head...... but with NO wind machine! Therefore it was up to me to style and spray the hair so that it looks like it was being blown back with the following result..... The second shot was to be more face on with the hair styled down and a warmer orange background. This was a really fun shoot to be a part of with
