Your London Wedding - May/June 2020 (Issue 71)

46 FOR EXTRAS It’s the little things that make a difference. Think goodie bags, a popcorn cart or ice cream van to keep your guests happy while you’re having your photos done. Activity packs are a great idea to keep the little ones amused too. E FOR FIREWORKS For a chorus of oohs and aahs to round off your day, what could be better than a fireworks display? Opt for a professional pyrotechnics business with a fully trained team – they’ll know a thing or two about creating a wow-factor spectacle. F FOR GAMES Think croquet on the lawn, traditional fête stalls like a coconut shy, hook the duck or splat the rat; great for an English country-garden theme. Or how about a mini sports day with egg and spoon or sack races to let off steam? G H FOR HARPIST Many harpists are happy t o perform inside or out, as long as there’s a suitable shady spot with a level surface where they can pla y. Wonderfully romantic for the ceremony, it can add a serene vibe to the post-vow s drinks and reception too. FOR INTERACTIVE Get your guests talking with added extras designed to create buzz. How about a chocolate fountain, interactive seating plan or a welcome water wall? Check out all of these and more at bookings@mirrormeuk.co.uk IJ FOR J AZZ The id eal accom paniment for a sophist icated al fres co drinks recepti on or swish Gatsby- style c elebration. Don’t f orget the cockta ils! K K FOR KARAOKE If karaoke’s a step too far on your big day, how about marryoke instead? You and your loved ones can mime to your favourite tunes for great video footage without the cringe! FOR LESSO NS Not everyone’s a whizz on the dancefloor. For some, instead of a wedding highlight, it’s a moment to dread. Beat the fear factor and book some pre-wedding lessons so you can entertain your family and friends with a jaw-dropping routine. L M M FOR MAGICIAN A magician can keep your loved ones enthralled during the post-vows drinks, before and after the wedding breakfast or during any lulls in the proceedings. Check out… Duncan Swan (www.duncanswanmagic.com) W hether close-up or stage show, Duncan’s award- winning tricks are guaranteed to wow. N N FOR NO-KIDS-ALLOWED If you want your day to be child- free, make it clear from the get-go and include a polite note on the invites. It might raise a few parental eyebrows at first, but guess who’ll be the last ones on the dancefloor at the end of the night?
