9 Practical ways you can support your fave wedding businesses AFTER the Business of your wedding.
Breaking up is hard! Any wedding vendor will tell you that it’s always bitter sweet when they farewell couples after their wedding. They’ve just spent the most intimate moments together. Raw. Vulnerable. Fun. And then at the end of it, it’s a hug and “erm, well, that was …. amazing … I guess I’ll see you around … (insert sad face)” Heartbreaking stuff!
The good news is, there are practical ways you can stay in their hearts and minds AND lives that make the whole experience feel less transactional/one night stand-ish.
- Plan your Birthday Party with your Event Planner
Event planners like G-Luxe events are multi talented and multi faceted and will usually have great ideas, props and resources to be able to host a glamourous Birthday party! And let’s face it after the amazing wedding you’ve just had, you’ll want an excuse to get your loved ones together again and celebrate.
2. Use your makeup artist to glam you up for your events
Freelance makeup artists like Manmeet Kaur are happy to travel to a location that suits you at your preferred time. So why not reuse the skills and knowledge of your Makeup Artist for your next social event or even for a corporate function or to get professional headshots for work.
3. Use your caterer for the next family get together at home
Ditch the stove for once! I mean, do I really have to convince you to do that! Get your caterers to create a simple menu or a grazing table like ChitChaat Co. have setup for an intimate gathering of your near and dear ones at home while you relax and recover from a busy week with some chai and gupshup!
4. Jazz up an at-home celebration or a Housewarming
Singh Events will come and deck up your home and/or backyard to add a little extra sparkle to your next at-home get together or a Housewarming party if you’ve decided to start your new journey at a new residence or are getting ready to grow your family.
5. Do a POST-Wedding Photoshoot
We’ve all heard of Pre-Wedding Photoshoots but if you missed doing that or just miss getting glammed up and taking great pictures of yourself and your now significant other, do a POST Wedding photoshoot with Lens & Life Photography, like they’ve done with their couple Jass and Deep to capture the post-wedding glow while reminiscing the beautiful moments you’ve recently lived through.
6. Mehendi/Henna art for festival celebrations
Save your Mehendi/Henna artists number and give them a call to recreate their magic to get you in the spirit of festival celebrations like Eid, Teej or Karvachauth or even just a random weekend where you feel like you need the soothing aromas of Henna to calm you down while adorning your palms.
7. Recommend your vendors to Friends & Family
Don’t have an event coming up yourself, or don’t have the budget to plan one just yet after spending on your wedding/honeymoon/new house! Recommend your favourite vendors to friends and family who could hire them for their own events or celebrations. Did you know Dhol by Saj not only plays the Dhol at weddings, she can also rock the dance floor at a night club with her beats!
9. Leave a Review
Last but not the least, leave a review for your favourite vendors to show your appreciation for the hard work they’ve done to make your dreams come to life. Not only does it help with their SEO and helps reassure future clients that their services are legit, but leaving kind words of gratitude really helps cement that bond that’s created during your interactions with them at the most special time of your life. Plus everyone loves a bit of appreciation! It’s a great motivator!
