Born the 24th Janury 1988 and christened Joanne Emma Smith, I was born and raised in Lancashire. I eventually ventured out of Lancashire to Merseyside to attend University in 2006. After graduating with 2:1 BA (Hons) in Law & Business I moved back home to Lancashire and have since worked as a Food & Beverage Manager at a prestigious venue in the Ribble Valley and more recently, as the Deputy Manager of a Restaurant. These roles formed my enthusiasm for organising weddings and events, which led to the Simply Bows & Chair Covers franchise opportunity.
Simply Bows and Chair Covers
Working in weddings and events meant I saw the awful state of linen that was supplied to hotels. Linen was ripped and stained, organza sashes didn't match and chair covers were never washed. Just by chance I came accross the Simply Bows and Chair Covers franchise advert and knew straight away that this was what the industry was a missing. I knew from the offset that Lancashire needed Simply Bows and Chair Cover! And of course, I eventually got to use my business degree!

Since a very young age I had always wanted to be a writer (I once wrote a 20 page story when I was 7) and blogging is a brilliant way to express my opinions and thoughts on the industry. Being a Lancashire lass I am keen to do this county justice and promote what wonderful venues, suppliers and real life brides we have! And blogging is the perfect way to do this.
