17/4/2017

0 Comments

 
We hope all our readers have enjoyed a wonderful Easter break. We're back at work early as we have The Vintage & Handmade Wedding Fair less than 3 weeks away and we have lots of news about our fantastic exhibitors to share before then! In today's MEET THE WEDDING SUPPLIER post we are delighted to introduce you to the lovely John and Annie from Rose Cottage Events. We caught up with them recently to chat about all things wedding, so why not make yourself a cup of tea and sit down to find out what goes on behind the scenes at Rose Cottage HQ?

So John and Annie, tell us a little about your background and how your business started?

We are a small family run business who had initially, for some years, been doing this type of service free of charge for friends and family.  It was in early 2015 when we decided to give it a go as a small business.  Since going live in September 2015 we have grown steadily, and have had fabulous feedback from our clientele.  We are "Event Planners" which means we do more than just weddings.  We can cater for any event.

What products or services do you offer that are suitable for weddings?
​
Our products, where possible are the real thing...the majority of our props are originals, some dating from late 1800's to early 1900's.  We can cater from room dressing right down to the finer little details.  Some of our props can be hired as a gift for the bride and groom for their special day, for example one of our gorgeous postboxes.   We also have our personalised, handmade, bespoke items, which can be purchased from our new online shop, which should be going live for Monday 10th April 2017. The shop will be accessed via our website www.rosecottageevents.com  Brides, or guests, can browse for a lovely gift for themselves, a friend or a family member.

Is Rose Cottage Events only available locally or do you travel across Ireland?

We cover the island both North and South of Ireland and have travelled to the Republic of Ireland on a number of occasions, with more bookings being taken for 2017/18.  

Where does your inspiration for your styling ideas come from?

Our inspiration usually comes from our our own imagination and creativity.  We have a knack of looking at something and seeing what it can become…for example a piece of wood fallen from our trees.

Do you have any wedding planning tips for brides and grooms?

Our wedding tips for any bride would be this.....Make your wedding day your own, don't let others take over your dream...its ok having help and advice or throwing ideas about to get a clear picture of what you are looking for, but don't let anyone take over to the point that its their day instead of yours.  But do allocate little jobs to the bridal party so you're not over-stressed trying to do everything yourself.   Our other main tip would be.. too many brides end up so nervous and stressed on their special day that it passes them by with no real memory of it....so after all the hustle and bustle getting to and arriving for your special day, take a moment, a couple of deep breaths and look around you, physically make your eyes and mind take everything in around you, so you don't miss out on the beauty of your special day, and how it has all come together....and enjoy it to the full xx

"​We at Rose Cottage Events, endeavour to help create your dreams with our ideas and to inspire you, while you still hold the reins."
