Fiona finally takes plunge
FOURTEEN years after the initial idea, a Reading businesswoman has launched her own wedding planning company.
Fiona Crouch has just set up Confetti and Dreams, offering full event planning and on-the-day co-ordination.
She said: 'When I got married 14 years ago, I planned the whole event myself as if it were a military opera-tion. I loved every minute of the planning stage and began to look into setting up my own business as a wedding planner but after carrying out some initial research, it appeared that I was a little bit ahead of the times. Most of the people I spoke to thought that wedding planning was an American idea and that it would never catch on over here.'
