What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?
One of our favorite personal touches we've seen at a wedding was a custom "memory lane" display.

What is the best themed wedding you have worked at?
One of the best themed weddings we have worked at was an enchanting "A Midsummer Night's Dream" wedding. The couple wanted to immerse their guests in a magical woodland fantasy inspired by Shakespeare’s play, and we were thrilled to bring this vision to life.
Venue Transformation: We transformed the venue into a whimsical forest, complete with lush greenery, twinkling fairy lights, and hanging lanterns. A canopy of flowers and vines adorned the ceiling, creating an ethereal atmosphere.
Ceremony Setting: The ceremony took place under a majestic floral arch surrounded by towering trees and delicate ferns. The aisle was lined with scattered petals and lanterns, leading to a fairy-tale-like setting where the couple exchanged their vows.
Reception Details: The reception was a feast for the senses. Tables were adorned with moss runners, wooden accents, and enchanted forest centerpieces featuring a mix of wildflowers and glowing candles. The soft, ambient lighting added to the mystical feel.
Personal Touches: The couple included personalized elements such as handcrafted name cards made of pressed flowers and a photo booth designed as a woodland nook with whimsical props. Guests enjoyed a dessert table that featured "forest floor" cupcakes and a cake decorated with edible flowers and butterflies.
Entertainment: Live musicians played gentle, enchanting melodies, and a surprise performance by actors dressed as fairies added an element of surprise and delight. The night ended with a sparkler send-off, illuminating the magical atmosphere one last time.
This themed wedding was a perfect blend of creativity, romance, and whimsy, making it an unforgettable experience for everyone involved.
