  • Managing extras – travel, accommodation, and why clear boundaries upfront matter.
  • Marketing & branding – building a reputation, using high-quality visuals, and keeping the client at the heart of your brand.
  • Education & networking – the value of workshops, mentoring, and shadowing experienced artists at weddings.
  • Digital tools & trends – how embracing content creation and online platforms can grow your reach and client base.
  • Lessons learned – the balance between artistry, business, and heart in bridal beauty.
