www.eddyfisherphotography.co.uk WOODSTOCK Behind the scenes For all you festival guys and gals out there, this one’s for you! Planning your big-day with a festival vibe has been growing more and more popular in recent years and we’re here for it! For music fans, this is a dream theme. Best served by an al fresco venue, this style comes to life with a tipi reception space, and bell tents for glamping. Use plenty of bold, vibrant hues for a celebratory feel with paper lanterns, streamers and macrame. Then, when the sun sets, illuminate your space and especially walkways with warm, festoon lighting. Hire a horse box bar and street food vendors to keep guests going throughout the night. Keep your attire chilled with a beautiful boho gown paired with a flower crown and relaxed, comfortable shirt, colourful or patterned braces and chinos for the gents. Live music is, of course, a must here! Arrive in style Volkswagen Type 2 Campervans were certainly present at the iconic 1969 Woodstock festival being a worldwide symbol of the counterculture. So, this cult-classic would be the ideal fit for a festival theme. Pile your bride tribe or groom’s party into one and you’ll feel like you’re off to your favourite music weekender. Something Blue Wedding Car Hire (www.somethingbluecarhire.com) has just the one in the shape of Bluebell, the 1959 splitscreen bus in gorgeous powder blue with seating for seven passengers. We also love this little beauty for rustic or beachthemed nuptials. SUMMER HOLIDAY Behind the scenes We’re all going on a summer holiday! Cliff’s 1960s fun-filled flick saw him and his mates travel from London across Europe in a red London bus. Embrace the movie’s vibe with a retro-themed wedding day. Your wedding palette will be packed with bold colours and geometric shapes will feature in your stationery. Blend this year’s trendsetting colours of yellows, browns and oranges to ultimate retro-chic effect. Walk down the aisle in a knee-length tea dress, or a gown with beautiful balloon sleeves, while your groom brings his own period touches with a paisley print tie and pocket square. Opt for a flower crown instead of a veil for a flower power edge. When it comes to the entertainment offer guests an evening of nostalgia with a retro cover band. Think British Invasion and devise a playlist including The Beatles, The Kinks, The Rolling Stones, The Who and more. First dance song, Elvis’ Can’t Help Falling In Love is one of our all-time faves. Arrive in style Pay homage to the period with Cliff’s vintage red bus to transport guests from A to B in memorable fashion, courtesy of local lovely Brighton Regency Routemaster (https://brightonregencyroutemaster.co.uk). THE LOVE BUG For an alternative 60s-inspired nod, think loveable Herbie’s first on-screen outing in 1969’s The Love Bug where a down-on-his-luck race car driver teams up with a cute little VW Bug with a mind of his own. Louise, Something Blue’s 1979 VW convertible Beetle Karmann is the perfect Herbie look-alike for your big day arrival. Check out www.somethingbluecarhire.com www.jamesgreenstudio.com 60s bonus!
