1613: Would That Shortcut Make a Difference? with Andri Benson Founder and Owner of Always Andri Wedding Design
b'
Andri Benson has always loved to draw and knows it has helped her in dreaming up fresh and innovative designs for her wedding couples. Having worked as a creative wedding planner for the last decade, she is now bringing her artistic skills to the fore, by helping couples see for themselves that anything is possible. They really can go from dream concept to reality for their special days. Not only does she provide them with incredibly detailed and bespoke concept illustrations of how their weddings will look; but with a background in theatre design, she\\u2019s able to turn them into reality, using her skills. She finds drawing is her favourite past-time too and will often spend her evenings, curled up on the sofa sketching. Her husband of 19 years is hugely supportive and embraces her creativity. At six feet three inches, he towers above Andri\\u2019s petite four feet 11 frame. She even drives in heels so she can reach the pedals, because they had to buy a car big enough for him too! It\\u2019s the strength of her own marriage that also helps Andri understand the expectations that couples have as they embark on planning their special days. Those couples turn to her because of her creative background. She spent seven years in her previous career curating costumes at the BBC Costume and Wigs store, having completed a degree in Theatre Design at Nottingham Trent University and a foundation course at the prestigious Central St Martin\\u2019s College, London. But it\\u2019s her artistry and show-stopping designs that are really getting Andri talked about. And fellow wedding planners are now approaching her, so she can provide sketches for their happy couples too. There\\u2019s something quite magical in being able to turn dreams on paper into a reality.
\\u201ceveryone always says it\\u2019s about knowing how to do your job and the experience you have but I think it\\u2019s more than that. I think you really need to believe in yourself, I think being a business owner is as much about your mindset is your experience. It\\u2019s all very well being the best person to do something but if you don\\u2019t actually believe in yourself you can do it or believe in yourself enough to put yourself out there I think that can really hamper you as a business owner. Believing yourself you can do it you got to really work on that mindset as well as your experience and gaining that knowledge and that will really help you in business\\u201d\\u2026[Listen for More]
