With the economy still recovering from the recent down turn there has been a big emphasis on getting back to basics and supporting local trade and businesses. For those of you having a wedding in the Midlands you will find an ample amount of local businesses able to meet all your needs. You will need to find out from your venue exactly what they provide so you can then get on with sourcing the rest yourself. Some of the things you will need to look for are:
-Wedding stationers
- Cake Maker
-Photographer
-Videographer
-Caterers
-Wine suppliers
-Car hire
Some of the most sought after wedding suppliers are based in the Midlands. For example one of Prince Williams’s wedding cakes was made by a local Leicestershire baker and the other was made by McVities, who are based near Ashby. Local suppliers will be able to offer a much more personal service than those of larger and more national companies.
As with venue hunting, the best way of finding these businesses is on the internet or in the local wedding directories. By choosing local small businesses you are giving back into the local economy and ensuring that these services survive for couples tying the knot for years to come.
