TWO businesswomen have formed a new partnership to cope with the growing demand for their wedding services.

Marie Pocock, from Melksham, who runs wedding planning and design company A Day to Cherish, in Sorrell Close, has seen her business grow so much that Helen Pinkett, owner of online wedding directory Bath Boutique Brides, is taking over the chair cover and sash hire side of the enterprise.

Ms Pocock said: “It is great that there are so many wedding options but couples have less free time now to plan and research them all. That is why more brides and bridegrooms are turning to me for help.

"I have known Helen for many years and I am delighted that she has taken over the chair cover and sash hire to free me up to do more wedding planning and design.

"My wedding company has got extremely busy recently and I have known Helen for a long time so we just decided to work together."
