Have you even been injured while at work?

We all from time to time have an accident and most of the time it is minor and easy to recover. However when it is more serious we may need extra time to recuperate and heal.

Being self employed and running your own business is a risk and when it goes wrong you may be forced to stop to take time to heal. This means facing another challenge of keeping the bills paid and food on the table. If you have ever been in this situation you will understand that this can be very stressful on top of being injured.

I currently have a friend in this situation currently. He is one of my oldest friends, and if you have ever met Luke you would agree that he is one of the nicest, most loyal and hardworking people you could ever meet.

Unfortunately, Luke recently had an accident at work. He fell from a ladder landing on his back breaking a bone in his neck, in his back and several ribs. He is now recovering in hospital under the care of the NHS UK. So while he does not have to worry about medical bills, he has always made sure his family are well looked after and will of course have many other bills to pay.

All of his family and friends are helping and pitching in, if you also feel like you would like to help too please click in this Go Fund Me link.

Just before the festive period, Luke sustained multiple injuries after … Adam Stokes needs your support for Help Luke mansell-Baker and family while he heals

F + M tied the knot on February 25th in Dijon, France, and it was a wedding to remember!

The couple exchanged vows in a wonderful ceremony, and the love between them was obvious. M looked amazing in her wedding dress, and F was a handsome groom. After the ceremony, the guests enjoyed a delicious reception and danced the night away.

I had the pleasure of filming their special day, and I'm so excited to share the video with you! It's full of love & laughter. Click the link in my bio to watch it and experience the magic of M + F's wedding day.

A little photoshoot Gold Leaf Brides shop in Vence, France

Have I ever introduced myself properly? I don’t think so!

I’ve had a few new followers recently so I thought it was time to say a little hello 👋🏾

📸:

My name is Kimberly Stokes, Kim for short.
I’m a British bridal wear designer based on the Côte d’Azur in France.

I help brides who are struggling to find their perfect dress in a bridal store get their ideas out of their head and realise their dream gown, from design to creation.

My team and I also help destination brides and grooms with everything connected to fashion on the day of their wedding, from last-minute alterations to dashing out to a local shop to grab a forgotten garment or accessory! Our mission is to prevent wardrobe mishaps and help your day run smoothly.

Some fun facts about me:

1. I was born in London. I have 3 brothers (only girl 👧🏾) and was a complete tomboy as a child.

2. In college I initially studied I.T, not fashion. I worked as an I.T consultant for almost 10 years before quitting to follow my passion instead.

3. My husband and I decided to move to France just for a year to have a crazy adventure. We stuffed all our belongings into our Renault Clio and drove across (pre-Brexit 😏). That was over 8 years ago and we haven’t looked back!

4. My favourite thing about France is butter 🧈 It’s true that they put it in everything and it just makes the world a better place 😆

5. If you come to your bridal fitting with cakes/pastries/cookies I know immediately we’ll get along just fine.

(Sorry, the last two facts were about cake, but that’s just because I love cake so much!)
