Trying to "Recession Proof" a business

Have you ever wondered how many businesses seem to strive, while others are just making do? Before I started in the wedding industry as a fashion designer, I was working in the tax accounting industry. Two very different worlds, but both had something in common. The wedding and the accounting industry are quite recession-proof and will always be needed despite a weakened economy.
Through thick and thin, people will get married at any time of the year and at any time of their lives. If the time is right for them, the economy will not be the reason to stop two people in love. Extravagances may not be an option for many engaged couples, but they will still need to spend on the basics. When planning a wedding celebration they will need a:
Church, minister, or officiant
Reception Space
Bridal Attire
Photographer
Videographer
Announcements
Invitations
Bouquet / Floral Arrangements
Dance Floor
Disc Jockey / Music
Alcohol / Beverages
Caterer
Wedding Cake
Table Arrangements / Chairs
Linens / Napkins
Wedding Planning

Those are only a few of the companies that will be needed to plan a wedding. If you own a company that works closely to either of these industries, now is the time to extend your services to cater to a different demographic. I’ve heard of insurance companies providing wedding insurance in case anything happens before the wedding, they will reimburse a couple the costs they are out if a vendor suddenly cannot make it. Or financial planners seeking newly wed couples to help them get started on the right track financially. Teaching young married couples how to be wise with both incomes, so they can some day retire together.
Even an accountant is needed for many of the new married couples, simply because a joint tax return is different from filing a single one. And of course, after a wedding is paid for they will need that hard working accountant to try to maximize their tax refund. A good accountant will look at both incomes and try to find deductions wherever they can.

Newest Bride Pictures by Wes Johnson

These pictures were just so beautiful, I couldn't help but share. Miss Andria's wedding gown is made out of a crepe back satin for the skirt and the bodice. Over the bodice is French Chantilly lace. I also made the bridal party gowns. The maid of honor Sara is in a beautiful teal satin that matches the sash on the bridal gown. The other Sara is in a pleated chiffon bodice with a full and flowing skirt. Angela is wearing a sea foam tea length gown with a ruched bodice and flowing skirt. : ) Enjoy! I would to hear what you think, they looked amazing and the pictures are flawless. I totally think any one of them are ad worthy! : )
