PLAYTIME We have a number of young guests coming to our wedding ranging in age from a baby to teenagers. We’ve started to get worried that we don’t have anything to keep them amused. What can you recommend we do? My advice would definitely be to consider booking a wedding crèche service. Perfect for weddings with children of all ages from 0-12 years, we offer a beautiful indoor or outdoor bell tent filled with endless age appropriate toys, games, activities, a craft station and much more. We can make any space look fabulous and when your big day is over, we’ll clear everything away. You can even hire a team of fantastic Pitch Nannies who are all DBS checked, fully referenced and experienced with children of all ages. This is ideal for taking the worry away from what the children might be up to during the ceremony, speeches and wedding breakfast right through to bed time. We provide a variety of different packages that can be tailored to your needs from bell tent playdens to cosy movie rooms.

If you’re interested in minimising the carbon footprint of your celebrations, read on! ❤ Choose reusable or compostable decorations and tableware. Simple eucalyptus branches, strings of paper flowers, ivy tendrils or even fallen branches from a local wood or park can help to transform your venue into a beautiful yet natural haven. ❤ Reduce the amount of cut flowers at your wedding day by decorating tables with living plants or potted flowers. You can also double these up as favours for your guests. ❤ Ensure your venue and/or caterer can create a menu using locally-sourced ingredients. Here, our chefs can create you a menu sourced entirely within Somerset. ❤ Consider a vegan wedding cake, or one that can be decorated with reusable materials. ❤ Provide wildflower seeds as wedding favours. Not only do these promote biodiversity, your guests will think of you when their flowers bloom at home. ❤ Donate your dress to charity after the big day, or sell it on to another beautiful bride. ❤ Use recycled paper for your invitations and on-the-day elements such as menus and place names.
