Here’s a little idea. While writing yesterday’s post about the state of the wedding industry, spiralling out-of-control wedding budgets and how we can fix what’s gone wrong, I paused for a moment, gazed through my rose-tinted specs and came up with The Ethical Wedding Supplier Pledge.

Ethical wedding supplier pledge for brides
Businesses who sign up to this pledge are showing they care. It’s an indicator of trustworthiness to help you choose wedding suppliers who won’t rip you off or let you down.

Signing up to the pledge and adding the badge to your site shows potential customers you’ll do your best for them. It’s a quick and simple way to say: “You can trust us”. And it’s simple — it’ll take you a minute or two, no more.
I’d love to see wedding businesses in the UK sign up to this pledge — will you?

Claire, those are all good point and they are what I already do, so I’m happy to publicly sign up.
I’m looking to network more with other photographers in Gloucestershire anyway as I think we’re better off working together in friendly competition. (You nevery know when you’re going to break a leg/lens and need someone to cover for you). People hire me for who *I* am rather than who I’m not.
I hope more folks will sign up to this.

Claire,
This is an excellent idea — I hope that more people in the wedding industry sign up to this.
Ian.
I think this is a fabulous idea-I’ve just signed up and I know a lot of my fellow jewellery designers have done the same!
This is such an amazing idea. It benefits both the supplier and the client. Hope more people would sign up for this.
