Isn’t it the worst when you do something you don’t mean to do?

Most vendors are not trying to exclude same sex couples but many just don’t know enough about the LGBTQ+ community to be aware of how they might not seem as welcoming as they want to be.

Kirsten will help break it all down for you and will also sit on the Publication Panel to help you understand what editors look for in styled shoots and real wedding submissions.

Equally Wed

According to the International Journal of Fashion Design, Technology, and Education"The average size of an American woman is now between 16 to 18, which is an increase from 10-year-old data that indicated most women in the U.S. were a size 14."

Millennials and Gen Z brides want to see themselves in your images and social media. What are you doing to be more size-inclusive in your marketing?

Shafonne will show you simple ways to be more inclusive and book more clients.

Pretty Pear Bride

Feel like it's hard to keep up with the "right" way to attract and service engaged couples?

Confused as to what they "really" want from you, your pricing, your services, your products?

Annie will be taking you through how things have evolved in the wedding industry, what has stayed the same and how to anticipate what's to come so you always stay ahead of the curve and keep your couples happy.

Walk a mile in someone else’s shoes they say. 

Have you ever experienced your services first-hand?

Your CX (Customer Experience) can make or break your closing ratio and definitely affect potential buyers’ remorse and bad reviews. You cannot afford to do a CX audit on your business to see what’s lurking in the shadows just waiting to tank your business.
