TWO young Forest entrepreneurs famed for their award-winning wedding blog, Bespoke Bride, are inviting investors to share a slice of its new business adventure.

Jessica Turley and Emily Pettiford launched their new digital market place, BB Boutique, last October after securing an investment from a Bristol firm who spotted them during an awards ceremony.

Since then the Yorkley ladies, who are aged 24 and 29 respectively, have seen more than 48 suppliers sign up and show interest, and have now launched a crowd funding campaign to raise investment to grow the business.

Emily said: “Bespoke Bride boasts thousands of unique visitors on a daily basis, looking for wedding ideas and inspiration. In developing BB Boutique we have taken this inspiration one step further – providing the opportunity for all members of a wedding party to purchase whatever is required for their big day in one place, from gowns and grooms wear, to favours and stationary.

“To ensure everything falls under the bespoke umbrella, we have also worked extremely hard to source unique suppliers with alternative quality produce, guaranteed to wow all site visitors from their very first click.”

Mike Jackson, BB Boutique’s main investor and founder of Bristol-based firm, Webstart, added: “Having worked with the pair closely I have experienced first-hand their advanced business acumen and tenacious spirit and, as a result, am certain BB Boutique will become the wedding industry’s go-to digital market place for all things bridal.”

The BB Boutique crowd funding campaign is now live and has already received funding from over 40 investors, starting from as little as £12.42.
