Your Cheshire and Merseyside Wedding - January/February 2021 (Issue 55)

G IS FOR GLITTER You can never go far wrong with a dab of sparkle. Add a festival-vibe to your celebrations with a glitter bar for blinged-up beards and glistening cheekbones. IS FOR HARP Harp music at a wedding is the ultimate romantic touch offering relaxing background music. Southport-based Susan Lambert is professional harpist performing at wide variety of venues from open air to castles and everywhere in between, and has even appeared on the BBC. Find out more at www.weddingharp.co.uk I IS FOR INFLATABLES Brilliant fun for children and adults alike, why not hire a wedding-white bouncy castle. Check out www.inflatablebouncycastles.co.uk J IS FOR JIG Ceilidhs are so much fun they should be illegal! A great way to get all ages hitting the dancefloor for hours of fun and giggles. K IS FOR KIDS Keep your mini guests occupied all day with a craft table, or enlist the help of a professional wedding creche company who’ll make sure they’re all safe and having a whale of a time with a whole parade of super-fun activities. L IS FOR LESSONS For a first dance with a difference book yourselves some lessons and perform a choreographed routine to surprise your guests. M IS FOR MAGICIAN The perfect icebreaker, a magician will get your guests engaging with each other through a shared experience, ensuring plenty of amazed faces. We suggest close-up magician Dave Hooper, otherwise known as The Magic 1. Performing for more than 25 years he’s developed his own inimitable style of magic. You and your loved ones will witness his incredible tricks up close and won’t believe your own eyes – certainly a talking point that’ll continue long after the dancefloor has cleared and guests have dispersed. Check out www.themagic1.co.uk N IS FOR NOSTALGIA Make the most of your venue’s grounds and lay out some vintage garden games. Croquet, giant Jenga, Connect4, hoopla and hook- a-duck. Your guests will have so much fun while they wait for the wedding breakfast they’ll barely notice their tummies rumble. IS FOR OWL Invite some feathered friends to wow to the crowds. These clever creatures can act as ring bearers, or entertain as part of a falconry display alongside their avian pals. We suggest www.cheshirefalconry.com P IS FOR PHOTO BOOTH Once booked, never regretted! Goofy times from hours of prop- filled fun in a photo booth, or in front of a selfie mirror, make for a hilarious guest book that’ll have you grinning from ear to ear for years to come.
