Your Cheshire and Merseyside Wedding - March/april 2021 (Issue 56)

56 “Adding your favourite song lyrics to a reading, including your new monogram on your dinner napkins, and serving up a signature cocktail are all simple ways to elevate your special day.” “Why not include heirlooms or sentimental pieces? We planned a wedding for a couple in Cheshire last year and the bride’s father had left her a note that read: ‘I love you more than you could ever imagine. I will always make sure you are taken care of.’ They printed the note in his handwriting onto ribbon for her bouquet. It was such a beautiful way to honour her father.” “Lighting is one of the most impactful investments you can make in your wedding. From fairylights and candles to uplighters and centrepiece pin spots; paying a little attention to this element adds drama and ambience.” PERSONALISE YOUR VENUE Director of Dale Alexander Events ( www.dalealexanderevents.co.uk ), Da le Alexander, believes that adding characterful touches reflective of the couple’s personality are what will make the wedding stand out from the crowd and be memorable. He tells us more… IT'S A SIGN! Amanda Nelson of Wachadoin Events ( www.wachadoin.events ) sa ys, “Once the traditional dressings for your wedding are planned it’s good to look at some of the details that can make your wedding day unique to you.” Here she explains how sign-posting your celebrations are a wonderful way to do this. “Personalised signs are a lovely way to welcome your guests and set the scene. Placed at the entrance or in a key area they can help to create the desired atmosphere and make wonderful keepsakes.” The table plan and order of the day sign are not only essential for giving your guests important information, but also help them to feel relaxed in the knowledge of what’s coming. Our statement table plans are designed to reflect the day’s décor, plus a little about the couple.” www.alicialaceyphotography.com
