Wedding Seasons

I miss doing flowers. I came across this picture of work in progress for a past event. In all aspects of wedding planning, my favorite is usually working with flowers. A second favorite is being on the machine to make seat covers, tie backs, table clothes and dresses: something I'm slowly but steadily expanding into.

August is usually a wedding season in Nairobi and due to a lot of factors its really a slow month this year and the cold weather isn't helping either. Its more like a gamble getting clients to book right now. When business is slow and uncertain, it always pays to have a plan B in place. But when all businesses are slow....what next.

It struck me as the best time to review my business goals for this year, to find out if they are headed in the right direction. Finding out what's going on in the wedding industry worldwide and trying to book clients for other months. So yes, its the wedding season: august is one of the peak months usually but so is December. When a month looks uncertain, there is sunshine in others. I'm looking at the glass as half full.
