How to Start a Wedding Decorations Business

Get Paid For Your Creative Skills Whilst Enjoying A Flexible Work Schedule

Would you like to start a real business where you can realistically work the hours you want but still earn a fulltime income? Then you should seriously consider starting a wedding decorations business.
Hi, my name is Cindy and I have been decorating couple’s weddings for over 8 years.  It is a great business to be in where I get to meet some wonderful people and get a great deal satisfaction from using my creative skills.
But it wasn’t always like this.  I’ve always had an artistic rather than an academic background.  A natural choice for me was to become an Art teacher.  I loved the creative side of the role teaching kids to express themselves.  However, I hated the other side of the job which was dealing with office politics, completing loads of complicated paperwork and becoming frustrated how the organisation was being run.
I worked my way up to being a Senior Teacher with management responsibilities – that only made things worse!  In short, I wanted out.  I needed to find a career where I could work for myself, use my creative skills and be in charge of my own time. 
After years of trying to find a new fulfilling career I finally hit on the market that I have now come to know and love – weddings. 

Benefits of A Wedding Decorations Business

Here are some of the reasons why the wedding market is ideal to start your new business in:

• It is virtually recession-proof – my most profitable year to date has been at the height of the recession
• It is flexible – you can set the hours to suit you and your family
• Great cashflow – You get paid up front so there is no chasing invoices
• Low start up costs – you can get started with the minimum of equipment
• Easy to Set up

A wedding business ticks many of the boxes that people have when it comes to setting up a new business.  And one of the biggest advantages of a wedding decorations business is that it is relatively easy to set up and get started taking orders right away.

The Fastest and Most Profitable Services

When I started working on weddings it was because I had studied floristry at college for a couple of years.  But I have since made friends with a number of wedding decorations suppliers who have not had to spend time studying, they have simply set up their businesses and immediately started trading.  Then it hit me…after looking at the profits from my business, 80-90% of the profits came from venue decorations rather than bouquets.  I was in the wedding decorations business as well!
If I was starting out again, I would definitely be starting with a wedding decorations business.  This gives the opportunity to offer brides services such as wedding chair covers, venue decorations, wedding table decorations and many more.  All without the time and expense of spending years in college before you can start earning.
