Helping build confidence in wedding suppliers to thrive in the wedding industry

It's finally happening

For quite some time now, (I'm literally talking years here!) I've been wanting to start a new business that will educate, support and empower other wedding suppliers who are on their own business journey and lack the confidence they know they need to achieve the goals they set themselves. Business is something I've always loved talking about, but I've resisted many times to start this, as I thought I wouldn't really have the time to work on it, but the idea keeps presenting itself to me, in different ways, so I've decided to finally honour the call and I've took the plunge. And I couldn't be more thrilled with the decision! So here I am and I'm calling it 'Confetti Creators'. 

A quick introduction

So if you don't already know me, I'm Rea owner of Confetti Sweethearts, and I've worked in the wedding industry now for 9 years and I have learnt so so much from starting out as a wedding stationer with an Etsy shop, building an online presence with my own website, becoming a you tuber, training to be a wedding designer and stylist, then pivoting my business into a table stylist for big events and intimate gatherings.

My intentions

In my 9 years I've build an abundance of business skills, knowledge and experience that I now naturally want to pass on to other wedding suppliers who find themselves at the very beginning or in the middle of their own business journey, and they would absolutely love some much needed guidance and support, that will help them build their confidence to create a thriving wedding business that supports the lifestyle they desire.

Where this exciting idea has come from

When I become a stylist, and I wasn't just spending all day sat at my desk, making wedding stationery, I had much more opportunities to chat to other wedding suppliers in the industry, whether that's been at a networking events, wedding open days or styled shoots. Having spent lots of time chatting with different types of suppliers over time, I began to realise there were lots of things I had overcome in my business, that they themselves were wishing they could be doing.

Some common things suppliers would say to me all the time were; 'You're so good at showing up on instagram stories, I want to talk on video but could never do it!" and  'I really want to do a styled shoot of my own, but it's more than I can handle'

The truth is

You might be shocked to hear that I've never been very confident, from a child I was always told I was shy. But the truth is, I just wasn't very confident and it's something I have had to build up over time. If you follow me on any of my social media platforms, or if you've found me through my You Tube Channel, what you see, is actually years worth of confidence building behind the scenes. I did not just show up like this from the off! And it's still very much a work in progress I'll be honest. Which is absolutely fine, because making slow progress is better than being stuck in the same place. 

I've had to push myself out of my comfort zone so many times, to achieve the things I've wanted to do, because it's unbelievably frustrating when you're not doing the things you really want to do in your business. You know you can do them, but lack of confidence tends to hold you back, time and time again. And when it holds you back, you waste so much time and you end up feeling disappointed with yourself. 

Can you relate to this?

If you know that lack of confidence is holding you back from achieving the goals you keep putting on your list every year, but you keep putting them off, then I am here to help you. I have started this to help wedding suppliers overcome the fear of putting themselves out there and to start doing the things they want to do.

So what sort of thing can you expect?

As I mentioned at the start of this, I love talking about business, and there are lots of topics to dive into. I'll be using my own struggles with confidence to pave the way, sharing digital support tools that I would of found super helpful and moved me on quicker from the stuck zone. There are actually lots of things that have helped me build confidence as I've grown in my business and I can't wait to dive into these topics more. From organising my own styled shoot which felt really daunting, finding my own voice in a crowded industry, to how starting a you tube channel got me out of my comfort zone.

What's my mission

My aim is to empower you so you have the confidence to grow your business the way you dream of. I can't wait to share my point of view with you, with honest, down to earth discussions about running a business in the wedding industry, here on the blog and on my you tube channel.  I am excited to create supportive and time saving digital tools that I wish I had had access to, that will make a massive difference to wedding suppliers progress. And it all starts now. 

I have big ambitions for this new business, so I will be putting my all into it, to bring you the support and help I know you need. I want your business to feel fun, creative, organised and simple. Helping you do it all with confidence. Just think of me as your pocket rocket, that will help you soar your way through your journey.

Let's make your future self proud!
