Describe the best wedding that happened at The Kitchen Garden?
We recently held a retro music themed wedding at The Kitchen Garden. The couple used old vinyl as table decorations and table numbers. Each table was named after the couples favourite albums. They spent hours making small lego characters which acted as favours for the guests - each one personalised. The placecards were coasters with the Hollywood Walk of Fame star on the front and each name inside the star (such a clever idea). The room looked absolutely stunning with old spirit bottles full of small lights dotted around the cafe for added sparkle. The guests were dancing to their favourite tunes well into the night. Everyone was overwhelmed with the decor and the general atmosphere on the day - relaxing and informal is just what the couple wanted for their guests.
What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?
Ask for help when it comes to planning each little detail whether this be from family & friends or your chosen venue. It's impossible to do it all by yourself and that's why we are here - to make everything that little bit easier :)
What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?
I really like the idea of bringing a Polaroid camera that prints out pictures straight away - guests can then stick these into a guestbook or within a frame and write a note to the happy couple. You therefore receive extra photos of your day with all your guests in and its helps to fill out the guestbook.
