Why did you take a franchise with Simply Bows?
I worked with Simply Bows and Chair Covers on part time basis dressing weddings and events in my spare time. When the opportunity came up to become a franchisee I jumped at the chance of becoming part of this excellent team and well-known brand.

Why do you love working for yourself?
The main reason I love working for myself is it gives me the flexibility to spend time with my 2 year old daughter Halle

Why do you love being a Simply Bows franchisee?
Being part of someone’s wedding is very special and helping them create the look they want for their day is very rewarding, it’s great to walk away from a venue knowing you have made such a difference

Which "look" that you can create is your favourite and why?

I love using the ruffles and chair veils, they create something totally different and unique.

If you could dress a celebrity wedding - whose would you choose?

Taylor Swift – so that she might actually stop singing about break ups!

 Any really memorable weddings that you have dressed?
We dressed a beautiful Christmas wedding at Doxford Hall in Ruby Red with Champagne flock.

How would your friends describe you in three words?

Thoughtful, Funny, Caring – From the horses mouth, honestly I asked them! :)

Are you married?
I am married, my husband Lee and I were married at Matfen Hall on 22^ndAugust 2009. We had a burnt orange a chocolate brown colour scheme with Orange organza bows

Why choose SImply Bows over another linen provider?
Our quality speaks for itself and our customer service is second to none, regardless as to the area you are in. Our business is award winning, and I bet there aren’t many others that can say that.
