I just want to shout out @CurvyBridal after speaking to a close friend about my experience this past weekend. I didn’t say yes just yet but I’ve never had such a wonderful body positive shopping experience. I was so nervous and excited and I felt so embraced, seen and heard.

@RishiSunak care to explain why we have been left out despite being the hardest hit? cc @AnnelieseDodds
Misunderstood and misrepresented - we now can't be missed out of @RishiSunak's budget next week. We need targeted grants for all in the sector who can't work or trade viably until the end of June at the earliest. 400,000 livelihoods depend on this.

Different year, same question. What about weddings? And what is it about weddings that government seem so hard to understand or so impossible to deal with? A little more respect and attention for a £14.7bn sector and 400,000 workers would be nice...

It’s time to stand up for weddings. Stand up for businesses and the 400,000 jobs the industry supports, stand up for couples and their right to get married. Stand up for love and for the memories and the special moments that weddings create. #standupforweddings#whataboutweddings
This week all of us in the wedding industry at hoarse, drained and pushed further to the edge financially. Make a game show out of that @BorisJohnson@RishiSunak - we are not reality TV we are real businesses #whataboutweddings
The roadmap doesn’t aid recovery. It’s more hardship. More revenue lost. More reserves depleted. Help us, or watch businesses close and jobs be lost. @RishiSunak#whataboutweddings
It is clear that government do not understand the nuances of our industry. The fact we are a seasonal industry has also been overlooked. PLEASE @RishiSunak@scullyp the time for understanding these things is NOW. #WHATABOUTWEDDINGS
We’ve asked for help for a year, do we have to keep begging @RishiSunak? Many in our sector are #excluded & have received virtually nothing. Other sectors have received grants while we’ve received nothing. It’s time to make amends #whataboutweddings
