“Since becoming a Brides Up North Featured Supplier, Little Folk has enjoyed a sharp increase in the number of inquiries for our personalised toppers and also in the number of visitors to our site in general.  Julia is fun, friendly and approachable but above all dedicated to and passionate about her brides, featured suppliers and providing the most interesting & relevant content on the fabulous Brides Up North blog.”  Donna, Brides Up North Featured Supplier, Little Folk Toppers

.

“When I moved up to Leeds, I knew no one, nothing of the wedding world and was very alone. After putting off planning my wedding for a while, I finally found your blog and everything changed. It was great to see inspirations and other real weddings along with how much was going on up here as I felt it was all happening down south, where I had just left everyone behind. It sounds weird, but your blog stopped me from getting homesick as could now focus on something else. So a massive thank you, I really am so thrilled that you are going full time with it as it will only grow and evolve into something even more wonderful!”  Phoebe, Brides Up North Reader, Miller Weddings

.

“A BIG thank-you for your guest edit in Wedding Magazine  we have already had traffic to our site from it.”  Lyndon, Brides Up North Featured Supplier, DiamondLove 

.

“It has been a pleasure working with you so far and looking forward to working together again.  I have had a few brides in the store recently who have come directly to us from your Blog all had great things to say about it!”  Joy, Brides Up North Featured Supplier, Mia Sposa Bridal & Menswear

“I wanted to say a personal thank you to you. You have given me lots of inspiration ever since I met you at the wedding show in Manchester and I really appreciate it! With blogs like yours in particular, when people ask me how stressed I am about my upcoming wedding, I have to be honest and say not very stressed at all, because I know that I have plenty of inspiration if I ever do get stuck!” Ana, Brides Up North Reader

.

“Just seen our wedding on your blog and wanted to say that I absolutely LOVE the feature, thank you so much for featuring us.

Keep up the good work Julia!”  Samantha, Brides Up North Reader
