Ta-da! Finishing touches to complete your day “Arrival is key! We see luxury cars, horse-drawn carriages and limos regularly, but have you considered a tuk tuk to reflect your love of overseas travel, a London bus for a city wedding, or a tandem bike to remind you of your first date? There are plenty of quirky modes of wedding transport to reflect your personalities.” – Craig Cheber, Booth Nineteen “Create a photo montage of your life together as a couple. You could have this projected during the evening.” – Thérèsa Jordan, Hummingbird Events “Speak to your suppliers and find out what they can do uniquely for you. We offer the option of a bespoke prop selection and photo booth backdrop. We can also use your wedding invitations to design your photo print template to match.” – Craig, Booth Nineteen No doubt your planning checklist will already feature most of the all-important elements that immediately spring to mind the moment anyone says “wedding.” You’ve got your venue, flowers, cake, photographer, attire, catering, and so on. But it’s those extra special finishing touches that’ll make your personalities shine through and make this celebration of your love one that everyone present will remember forever. The even better news? These added touches don’t need to break to bank! We reached out to the region’s talented suppliers for their most creative ideas, sure to inspire you. “Why not have a wishing tree instead of a traditional guest book? Loved ones can write their heartfelt wishes on a ribbon tag, which can then be tied to the tree. These can be taken down after the wedding and treasured in a keepsake box.” – Alison Hieron, Creative Collections “There are ways you can make sure you spend plenty of time together on the day. For example, walk around while guests are sitting down for the wedding breakfast and thank everyone for coming, give out the wedding cake, or stand at the doors welcoming guests as they enter the reception.” – Chris Pitman, Cakes From The Soul “Hiring props to enhance your venue styling can bring your wedding palette together and bring the wow factor. Many are useful and others just add an element of fun.” – Gillian Thomas, Chair Covers of Bristol and Bath Getty images Getty images Getty images Getty images FINISHING TOUCHES 51
