Your West Midlands Wedding- April/May 2020 (Issue 67)

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 on hand who knows a thing or two about creating a wow-factor spectacle. G 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?

Wonderfully romantic for the ceremony, it can add a serene vibe to the post-vows drinks and reception too.

Make sure you book with a reputable supplier and check out their credentials so you can kick off your shoes and enjoy the fun. J FOR JAZZ The ideal accompaniment for a sophisticated al fresco drinks reception or swish Gatsby-style celebration. Don’t forget the cocktails! 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! L FOR LESSONS 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. 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 myitsmagic.co.uk 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 still on the dancefloor at the end of the night! O FOR OWLS Surprise everyone with a Harry Potter moment and have your rings delivered by owl. Check out wedding-birds-of-prey.co.uk P FOR PHOTO BOOTH Looking for something different for your big day?
