Why I love doing what I do: Happy Brides & Grooms

It makes me realise how much I love doing what I do when I receive an email like I did this morning from a very happy couple:

Hi Lisa
Hope you are well. Emailing you to say a very big thank you for the fantastic decorations you did for us on our wedding day they truly transformed the room and made it very special, all our friends paid compliments to how it looked, but to be honest that was totally down to you and your talent and eye for detail.
Also many thanks for the florist you recommended to us, the button holes and bouquet were beautiful.
We wish you every success with Alwena Rose.
Kind regards,
Yvonne and Gary Latham
