Your Glos and Wilts Wedding - October/November 2019 (Issue 17)

Sandra Trusty, owner of Fabulous Functions located in Swindon, Wiltshire, suggests to hire a bookcase or long piece of furniture to act as a focal point in a marquee that can be decorated with accessories. “Another very popular choice for these structures is a flower cloud or a floral chandelier, which really wow guests as they enter,” she says. “Alternatively, opt for the pretty flower wall that big-day photographs can be taken against.” Sandra also advises to choose a structure large enough to be able to create different zones within it. “This allows the dancefloor to be separate from the bar, and a chill-out area can be made by hiring sofas and soft seating,” she says. For an outdoor reception, giant games can be hired, which not only look great but keep guests entertained for most of the evening! A firework display provides a grand finale to a marquee wedding. Mini sparklers and outdoor fire pits can also be added.
