Looklovewed Takes the New Zealand Wedding World By Storm

Image Based Wedding Planning Website - Looklovewed Takes the New Zealand Wedding World By Storm
Tuesday, 30th April 2013 

Revolutionary new wedding planning website Looklovewed.co.nz  is rocking the New Zealand wedding scene and changing the way New Zealand brides plan their weddings.  The visual search engine provides inspiration and ideas to help brides create their dream day, connecting them directly to New Zealand’s top wedding suppliers in the process.

Looklovewed.co.nz is entirely image based and can be searched by a number of filters including location, category, colour and ‘most popular’. Alisha Goodwin and Andrea Campbell founded image based LookLoveWed after both becoming highly frustrated with trying to plan their New Zealand weddings from overseas, using the limited information available online. They had spent hours trying to locate regional wedding suppliers online to no avail and thought there must be an easier way.

 LookLoveWed.co.nz showcases the gorgeous images of wedding suppliers from throughout New Zealand and includes wedding dresses, cakes, flowers, venues, photographers, stationery and much more.  With each image connecting the bride directly to a supplier, everything on the site is able to be booked, purchased or hired at the click of a button$1

"Following extensive industry research as well as speaking to large numbers of brides about their wedding planning experiences, the facts soon mounted up.  It was incredibly difficult to find the majority of wedding supplier’s online and almost impossible to find the good ones” said Alisha Goodwin, Co-founder LookLoveWed.  “There were a number of inspirational type Blogs out there which were very pretty, but often you couldn’t actually buy or hire what you saw”.

“Pinterest is now the 4th largest driver of web traffic in the world and is solely image based. People don’t want to read about things, they want to see them, particularly when it comes to weddings.  LookLoveWed connects brides and suppliers in a visually engaging, fun way and that’s what makes it so different to other wedding planning websites currently available in New Zealand. We think it’s time to make things easier for brides-to-be and to bring the wedding industry to them” commented Andrea Campbell, Co-founder LookLoveWed.

Bride-to-be, Evania O’Donnell, went on to say “LookLoveWed is a brides dream!  It has everything you will need to help plan a memorable day. Prior using LookLoveWed I had spent countless hours trawling through websites looking for inspiration and suppliers. LookLoveWed has cut this time down considerably as everything is in one place.  With the click of a button you can create a personalised album, which collates all your favourite suppliers.  For an indecisive bride like myself, this is sensational!  I love the Real Brides sections too!  I have the fun (but arduous) task of planning a wedding outside of the region where I currently reside. The site has helped me find a number of professional suppliers to assist me to plan one of the most important days of my life.  I have even shared my albums with my mother, sister and bridesmaid (who is overseas) so they can see my favourite ideas. It is a one-stop-shop for brides-to-be.  One word…AMAZING!  Thanks LookLoveWed for making my life a lot easier!”
