17 GLITTER BAR The perfect addition to a festival-themed wedding a glitter bar will bring all the sparkly fun. Keep it ecofriendly and look for a company that supplies biodegradable glitter. 19 THE KIDS ARE ALRIGHT! If there’ll be a lot of mini guests attending your wedding, we recommend looking into enlisting the help of a professional crèche service. Event Childcare is owned and run by Sophia Mainwaring and sister Lucy. As two of 13 siblings with 28 nieces and nephews, you could say they were destined for the roles in childcare. Based in West Sussex, the business has been in operation for more than a decade and they still come across people who weren’t aware a service like theirs existed! Sophia says, “We know children are such an important part of every event, but we also know mums, dads and caregivers need some adult time too – this is why we come to any venue and any event to provide our mobile crèche, activities and total on-site childcare solution.” The team works within the parameters set out by Ofsted and all of their nannies are enhanced DBS checked, uniformed, insured and paediatric firstaid trained. They love to work with large groups and also offer one-on-one and overnight babysits.
