When people say "I Love My Job" part of you thinks "yeah right" or "is
that even possible", but for me it’s true. Everything I do is in the
pursuit of becoming more whole, in order to serve my beloved brides.
From the ability to manage my own stress, to pushing my boundaries of
creativity to meet a bride’s desires, the sense of reward is immense and
for these opportunities of growth I am truly grateful.
There is no other dress that is as important as your wedding dress. To me a wedding dress is a sacred gown that empowers the bride with love for herself and the journey ahead, representing her in all her glory and radiating her inner beauty. The seams, fabric, cut and every detail must be infused with Deep Love, confidence and the pure potential for a successful loving life. This is my Zen and hopefully it can be felt in abundance by the wearer.
Over the last 20 years of serving many brides, one thing that never
ceases to amaze me is the lack of self worth and self love many women
feel. I constantly find myself saying “Be Kind to Yourself “ because
some of the self-depreciation talk I hear breaks my heart. Part of this
job is to instill confidence and to allow a safe place to be authentic,
to be brave and bold, and to glow with self love. You may be a bride
for one day but you can learn to love and accept yourself every day.
Become The Wellbeing Bride
. This is why it’s important I take my own advice by being authentic,
choosing self love and self worth, and radiating my own boundless self
love. I shall be talking about my art work In another blog , but for
now, you can take a look in the shop on this site .
Next week Is all about the process of having a bespoke wedding dress designed and made, but today I just want to leave you with one more thought - “You are loved more than you’ll ever know “
Big Love
Catherine
