I'm super excited and super nervous to write this post. Today I get to launch a project I've been working on for months, but to make it work I need your help...

I feel incredibly blessed to be celebrating five years in the wedding industry this year. Taking B.LOVED from start up to award-winning blog, I've experienced the highs and lows of running your own business. I've built up a fabulous network of creative individuals and friends along the way, but there's also been times it has been hard, frustrating and incredibly lonely.

This was never more true than last year, when my world was turned upside down and I began to question everything about working in weddings. I was even close to giving up my entire business, when I decided to share my story with some of my industry friends.

I realised we're all guilty of creating a false impression of success, while wondering how we're going to pay the bills at the end of the month. I wanted to do something about it.

After plenty of soul searching, discussions and advice from my wedding industry friends I realised we all need the same thing; a place to meet, a place to learn, a place to thrive.

The B.LOVED Hive is a member community with a carefully curated program of helpful and inspiring advice, an industry blog, the opportunity to meet and network with other wedding pro's at regular events, attend workshops and events and the most exciting thing of all...

The Hive, based in South East London, will provide a place to work for the day, meet clients or host your own workshops, events and shoots! It's aimed at all levels of business - whether you're a start-up or have been around a few years and need help with the next step towards world domination, we've got your back.

Through our Kickstarter Campaign you can become a founding member of the B.LOVED Hive, you can help create an amazing community for the wedding industry, you can get the help you need to build your business and make it a success (whatever that looks like), you can help start a wedding industry revolution.

Our Kickstarter Campaign is fundamental to the success of the B.LOVED Hive as it will provide the funding needed to secure a suitable studio space in South East London. It will also help to make it a beautiful, inspiring and professional space for the wedding industry to meet, learn and thrive. If we exceed the target, we'll even be able to put the extra capital towards extra rewards and a super-duper launch for our founding members!

By supporting our Kickstarter Campaign today you'll get a never-to-be-seen-again 50% off membership, and exclusive Kickstarter Rewards to help your business - from inspirational prints to mentoring to brand shoots and promotion right here on B.LOVED blog!

"Because together we're stronger, together we can achieve anything"

We are aiming to complete the campaign at the end of October, and will inform all supporters as soon as possible about how they will receive their rewards and endeavour to send member kits and welcome packs as quickly as we can!**
