It is always very sensible to have some sort of receptacle for collecting Cards and monetary gifts. Sadly cards and vouchers get lost at weddings. Sometimes the temptation is too great and cards with vouchers or cash go missing.

It’s horrible to think the worse but this can happen! I have personal experience of a Bride and Groom opening a card from an Aunt, who gave them £50.00 cash, she suggested they open it as she wanted to make sure they had received it! The Bride thanked her Aunt, put the money back in the card and then inside the envelope and left it with the other cards on the table, the money was stolen! How sad was that? Most wedding Gifts were ordered on line but this lady didn’t trust Computers so gave cash instead – which is very common for elderly Guests!

As professionals we use various technical terms to describe different balloon bouquets, sculptures and centre pieces.
Some examples:

String of pearl arch
A series of balloon attached to line which form an arch over a top table, cake table, and present table or even up a stair case.
String of pearl arches adds a soft and romantic feel to your reception area. These are normally made using latex balloon to match your colour scheme. However you can use the foil balloons or have a double bubble to crown the arch.

It’s often the little things that people notice! So make sure your wedding has the finishing touches that will make the difference.

Top Tables

Your Top Table is the focus of attention during the meal and speeches; it is where you and your closest family and friends sit. Therefore a beautifully dressed Top table is a must for those all important photographs. Colour or pure white, the choice is yours, details like ribbon bows and Tulle look stunning! You can add balloon arches, floating clouds or giant metallic hearts linked with bridal Tulle for a romantic look. Candles set on a mirror base are an effective way of adding soft romantic light to your atmosphere.

If you are planning to have your wedding abroad then no doubt you have thought about how you will make the venue unique to you. Just because your special day will be overseas, it does not mean that you cannot get involved I the venue decoration. Obviously, you will need to check with your venue beforehand but in the past we have been asked to produce decorations for a number of exotic weddings.

Our first challenge for export was in March 2006, when Donna made contact and asked for help in setting up her new Wedding business in a hotel in Dominica – an up and coming Island in the Caribbean.

With so many Brides taking full responsibility for the design and planning of their wedding, I am often asked for ideas for DIY Wedding table decorations.

The most simple and effective method is to hire glass vases and make simple hand tied posies for each one. The posies are then yours to give away as little Thank you gifts to friends or family who have supported you.
