Hi there – I love your purple beautyberry pictures and wondered if you would give me permission to possibly use them as a background on a new website I’m designing? It’s for a beauty therapy business and the shop will be on a street called Berry Lane. My primary colour will be purple – so you can see how perfect it could be!
Thanks in advance.
Kind regards
Debbie
That would be fine if there was a way to credit stephigardens.com somewhere on the website with the photo. I appreciate it that you asked and look forward to checking out your website.
