What is your most memorable wedding?
There's been a few really memorable weddings, unfortunately we can't attach a photo to this text, but just imagine the most stunning wedding decoration photos that do the rounds on Pinterest. We've done a number of events like that and the reaction from the wedding couple and their immediate family is just so satisfying and memorable.
Describe your style in 5 adjectives.
Elegant, Trendy, Stylish, Unique, Inspiring
What about your business are you most proud of?
We've taken a negative situation such as COVID-19 which saw our business workload drop to next to nothing and used the time to build a showroom and new storage facility. I honestly can't imagine a better use of the time that was forced upon us. Coming out of lockdown has been an amazing experience for both us and our clients who can now visit our stunning showroom to pick out their dream wedding decoration.
What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?
Book sooner rather than later. We have so many couples approaching us with less than a year until their wedding date that we simply have to turn away. Some of them would have been perfectly suited to our services, but we cannot take on more work than we can provide.
What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?
We provided services to a VIP DJ for their wedding. They went for mirror balls on each of the tables as centrepieces, the invites were written on cassette tapes, the menus were on custom made 6" record sleeves. It was fantastic.
Describe your typical process with a couple.
There's a few steps we run through, we always start with the date to check availability, then if we're free, we check the clients initial requirements via email then follow up with a showroom appointment. If bespoke examples are required, we put something together for the client (such as a flower arrangement or table layout), then we send over the invoice. The client pays 20% of the fee and then the balance is paid one month before the wedding date. We set up on the day set out on the invoice, then collect once the wedding is over and the clients go away having had an amazing time.
What is the best themed wedding you have worked at?
It possibly wasn't actually a wedding, it was a birthday party which was jungle themed. Just imagine a huge luxury venue transformed into a jungle, with trees, gold ornaments and props, flashes of green white gold and black throughout the venue and even giant jungle animal props. It was out of this world.
What are the decorative trends with brides currently?
Colours are always leading the trends. Colours are currently still on gold with pale pastel pink, ivory and beige. This has been the leading trend for a couple of years now and will soon be moving into something new. Customers will have to visit the showroom to see what the next big thing will be!
What is your signature finishing touch?
Neon signs. We've got an enormous range of neon signs available and almost all of our clients fall in love with them when they visit the showroom.
What decoration do you think every wedding needs?
Candles!!!!
