Proprietor Cath Graham has always had a creative flair and, from creating hand made invitations, menu designs and table plans for a few select friends has grown a business that is taking off internationally.
Make it Pretty has only been in existence a little over one year but in that period, Cath has worked tirelessly to break into a market that is both new and competitive. From market research she carried out she found that the planning of weddings was well catered for in terms of venues and food and drink but that there was little choice provided for Brides and Grooms to personalize the stationery side, invitations, table plans, place cards and so on.
Her exclusive custom design’s and attention to detail filled a void in the wedding industry by offering a much-needed, high quality, hand made alternative to the traditional printed invitation. She wanted to offer a unique service where she could give clients a choice of themes, materials and colours not only for their stationery but also the design and dressing out of the venue.
And the response? She been inundated with email requests since her website www.makeitpretty.co.uk went online. Most of them are UK but she is also making inroads into the Irish market and, by this time next year, will be supplying clients in the USA with an original Welsh product.
Make it Pretty provides both an online exclusive selection from lines that are standard and yet still hand created by Cath and her rapidly growing team of skilled helpers, as well as a totally original service from design creation to the finished job and that can even mean providing table centre pieces, chair covers complete with beautiful wraps, sashes or bows and elegant canopies with swags. When it comes to venues she will work alongside Florists, Hotels and Marquee suppliers to ensure that the event is fully coordinated seamlessly and painlessly for the hosts.
