Ookkkaaay so here I go again🤦🏾‍♀️ I am finally sitting down and getting into these worksheets and one thing my brides always say is “I wish I’d found you first” many of my brides find me after failed first or second attempts with other artists and I’m not quite sure how to make a statement from that. I always get things like the above or “thank you for understanding me” “ thank you for hearing me” “you’re the only one that’s ever done makeup/hair the way I like” and I’m not sure how to position myself from there

okay so... My question is a little long winded so bare with me. I have a ton of portfolio work ( been doing this 12 years) and the work is still very timeless. The problem is, i started in an era where filming wasn't the THING to do. So now i work for wedding teams in a new state where I'm having to rebuild from scratch and its... HARD. I'm wondering should i just be mimicking a wedding day with model clients to get some of the genuine reactions of my work or how do I even go about doing this stories that sell template with very little work to show of my own clients in my new state?

@Marissa Brennan Would love to know where the new canva story templates are! I remember you saying a couple months ago you created a new one!

I’ve been asked to be a preferred vendor at a venue. What info do you add to your marketing materials? They want a 5x7 handout for when Bride’s tour, they will send a digital pdf when they book, & a spot on their website. I think I might create a media kit to send out to other venues as well. Has anyone done that? What was the result?

Hiii, I’ve a handful of brides that are out of state brides who are getting married in the PNW. My 3 packages include a preview, however in the past I’ve been more lenient on giving them the option to not get a preview due to the timeframe they’ll be in town. However, I don’t want to do that for the 2026 wedding season because I end up loosing out of money ($300). Should I create an Out of state bridal package? Or should I just stick with my packages and say “sorry packages are as is” (obviously in a nicer tone/way) Thanks!!
