As a bride or groom, you want your wedding day to be perfect. Every detail matters and one of the most important decisions you'll make is choosing the right wedding car. While there are plenty of classic options to choose from, Tesla is the perfect choice for modern couples.

We sat down with Reem Executive, one of the leading providers of luxury wedding cars, to find out why modern brides and grooms should hitch a ride to their wedding in a Tesla Wedding Car. Here's what we learned.

Eco-Friendly: Ride in Style Without Harming the Environment

One of the biggest advantages of choosing a Tesla as your wedding car is the eco-friendly factor. Teslas produce zero emissions, which means you can ride in style without harming the environment. With the growing awareness of the importance of sustainable living, choosing an eco-friendly option for your wedding transportation is the perfect way to make a statement and show that you care about the planet.

Cutting-Edge Technology: Drive into the Future

Teslas are known for their cutting-edge technology, and you'll feel like you're driving into the future as you ride in one on your wedding day. From the intuitive touchscreen display to the autopilot capabilities, a Tesla is a unique and memorable way to get around on your special day. The technology is not only impressive but also adds a futuristic and modern touch to your wedding day.

Cool Factor: Turn Heads and Make a Statement

Another great reason to choose a Tesla as your wedding car is for the sheer cool factor. A Tesla is a statement piece that will turn heads and make a statement on your wedding day. It's a stylish and sophisticated way to arrive at your ceremony or reception, and you'll feel like a rockstar as you pull up to the venue. Choosing a Tesla will definitely make your wedding stand out from the rest.

Luxury and Comfort: Ride on a Cloud

A Tesla is designed with luxury and comfort in mind. The smooth ride and spacious interior make for a comfortable and enjoyable experience, and you'll arrive at your wedding feeling relaxed and ready to go. With a Tesla, you won't have to worry about feeling cramped or uncomfortable on your big day.

Tesla Dance: Fun and Memorable Entertainment

One unique feature of a Tesla that you won't find in any other wedding car is the "Tesla Dance." This is a fun and quirky feature that Tesla owners can activate in their cars. When the car is put into "dance mode," the car's doors, trunk, and lights start to move and "dance" to a song. This is a fun and memorable way to entertain your guests and make your wedding day even more special.

Reliability: No Chance of Breakdowns

One of the biggest concerns for any couple on their wedding day is the fear of something going wrong. With a Tesla as your wedding car, you can relax and enjoy the ride, knowing that the car is new, reliable, and unlikely to break down. Tesla's electric cars are designed to be low maintenance, and with fewer moving parts than a traditional combustion engine, there is less chance of anything going wrong. This means you can focus on enjoying your special day without any worries about your wedding car letting you down.

Low Noise: Arrive in Style Without Disrupting the Peace

Tesla cars are known for being incredibly quiet, making them perfect for weddings taking place in residential areas or quieter locations. With a Tesla, you can arrive in style without disrupting the peace.

Versatility: Perfect for Any Type of Wedding

A Tesla is a versatile choice that can be used for any type of wedding, from a traditional church wedding to a modern outdoor celebration. Teslas come in a range of colors and styles, so you can choose the perfect one to match your wedding theme and style. We personally love to the white Telsas owned by Reem Executive keeping the traditional colours to a modern wedding.

Photogenic: Create Picture-Perfect Moments

Tesla cars are photogenic and make the perfect backdrop for wedding photos. The sleek and modern design of the car adds an extra level of sophistication to your wedding album, and you'll love looking back on your photos and remembering your special day.

Smart Investment: A Car Built to Last

Lastly, choosing a Tesla as your wedding car is a smart investment. These cars are built to last and are a wise choice for the future. As electric cars become more popular and mainstream, a Tesla is a smart choice for the environment and your wallet. You'll be ahead of the curve and will have a stylish and sophisticated car that you can enjoy for years to come.

Safety Features: Drive with Peace of Mind

Teslas are some of the safest cars on the road, with a range of advanced safety features to keep you and your passengers protected. From the Autopilot mode to the Enhanced Autopilot features, you can drive with peace of mind and focus on enjoying your wedding day.

Innovative Charging Options: Keep the Party Going

Finally, one of the best things about a Tesla is the innovative charging options. Tesla owners have access to a network of charging stations, making it easy to keep your car charged up and ready to go throughout your wedding day. This means you can keep the party going for longer without having to worry about running out of battery.

Conclusion: The Ultimate Wedding Ride

In conclusion, choosing a Tesla as your wedding car is the perfect way to make a statement and create an unforgettable experience. With its eco-friendliness, cutting-edge technology, cool factor, luxury and comfort, and smart investment potential, there's really no reason not to choose a Tesla for your special day. So, ride into the future and make a statement with the ultimate wedding ride - a Tesla Wedding Car from Reem Executive.

Wedding Suppliers We Think You’ll Love!

Wedding Fayres We Think You’ll Love!

These are the Wedding Decor Trends you need to know about!

These days Venue Dressing is so varied and versatile you can literally decorate anything in any style, colour or theme that you want! With so much choice out there choosing the perfect venue dressing can feel daunting at first, thankfully Nicola venue dressing expert and owner of Elegant Event Designs is here to offer her expert tips on what’s hot in the world of wedding décor in 2022 and the different types of trending wedding décor for that Pinterest wedding!

Nicola’s top 6 trending venue dressing ideas for 2022.

1# Chairs & soft fabrics

Chairs can be incorporated into your décor using soft fabrics, foliage or just ribbon to add a fleeting flash of colour.

Chiavari Chairs - For Chiavari Chairs you really cannot beat a classic chiffon drape tied with a single sprig of Eucalyptus. Many brides underestimate the power of the Chair Décor as Chiavaris are beautiful on their own but once they see them themed in with the rest of their look they completely change their minds!

I have used this signature look in a whole host of different settings from hotel venues and barns…..you really cant get this one wrong!

Another favourite is using two coordinating organza sashes to create lush, full bows!

2# Add a sparkle of colour with table napkins and runners.

I sometimes recommend that for table napkins and runners when you want a stronger colour without it overpowering other décor.

Elegant Event Designs

3# Romantic lighting

The difference that lights can make should never be underestimated either and help to create a soft ethereal glow to any occasion.

4# Wedding Arches & Backdrops

Backdrops are certainly evolving from the classic Starlit Curtains and Flower Walls to the lavishly decorated Moongates and geometric shapes, the choice is unlimited. I would say these floral arches below are two of our more versatile items as they can be used as a backdrop for stunning photographs, to frame your Ceremony table at the end of the aisle, behind your top table, cake table or even just to cover a wall or feature that you would rather not have at your Big Day!

Moongates –  I cannot tell you what a statement these can make – whatever your event, the pictures you can create are stunning and last a lifetime! From ivory blossom, pink blossom or natural greenery there is always something to suit all tastes. Complete the look with some hanging lights or go bold with a Neon Sign! Definitely on Trend for 21/22 without any signs of changing for 2023 onwards!

Top tip: If you use an arch or backdrop behind your ceremony table it can be repositioned either behind a top table, cake table or as a wonderful backdrop for guest pictures.

5# Silk Flower Pomanders and Trees or a selection of both!

If you want to add the wow factor to your room then you cannot go wrong. Use them on plinths down the aisle then back onto your guest tables for the reception. The quality of silk flowers nowadays is a complete art form in its own right and is here to stay.

Elegant Event Designs

6# Flower Walls

Always a favourite and not just for Weddings! Makes the perfect backdrop to any event and dress with balloons, silk flowers, natural foliage and signs to create the most perfect photo opportunity.

For a sizzling hot summer wedding, your guests will never forget, consider our top 18 cool summer trends and Pinterest ideas you’ll love for your wedding day. From garden weddings to festival-themed weddings we have picked the best trends for any summer wedding!

#1 Decorate your outdoor wedding with quirky food and drink vans everyone will love!

Add a new dimension to your wedding day with unique bars and food vans. Or amazing bars for those refreshing drinks on a hot day. Nick owner of the White Label Bar, says:

''Our lovingly converted Mercedes horsebox & horsebox trailer 'Amélie' are custom-built bars and are complete showstoppers at any event or wedding, especially summer festival vibe weddings! The best weddings are those that do a little DIY and put that personal touch that makes your wedding different from everyone else's. That could be personalised decorations or customisable signage, mirrors, beer matts, a custom bar menu, and even labelled beers and wines!! Your guests will love it! Bars are so versatile too, the awning set up can be adapted to the space available. Seating, a lounge, a pub, a games room? You decide.
At our wedding, we decided against cutting a cake and instead had a giant cake-shaped piñata to hit! Dream big when it comes to your wedding day.''

#2 Natural Wedding Makeup

Living the last year in lockdown has definitely paved the way for a summer 2021 makeup trend, ‘less is more’. 

Get the look by using this summer’s go-to product, a demi-matte foundation. A dewy and matte combination that is long lasting and imparts full coverage but still provides a natural finish. “Whether you prefer minimalist or full glam, my advice is not to go for anything to trend-led and aim for looking like yourself,” says Jess, Bridal Makeup Artist from The Stack Sisters. 

Top tip: Make your makeup last. Ask your makeup artist to decant a small amount of your wedding lipstick into a pot so you can top up during the course of your day especially after food and drinks. 

NYX professional make up setting spray from amazon is perfect to set your make up for the whole day and is small enough to fit in your bridal make up bag.

#3 Keeping the little ones entertained with a Chaperone at your summer wedding!

Michelle from Children's Flight Chaperone Ltd provides a popular Wedding Chaperone-service for Children of all ages. Michelle says: ''You can enjoy that idyllic dream venue whilst we keep an eye on your little explorers. Let us take all the care duties and grant yourself the day-off you deserve!

We look after children from start to finish from making sure the children have a good breakfast as you focus on getting dressed; aiding the ceremony's flow by keeping the young minds engaged during key moments and entertaining them all the way into the evening celebrations. Our service aims to enhance celebrations so no one needs to hold back: everyone can enjoy themselves to the fullest, with good, safe company and sound peace of mind. Not only do we provide wedding chaperones for children but event companions for older guests who require assistance during the day. 

Keep the little ones entertained with fun wedding activity packs. Amazon have a great selection you can buy here including packs of four which include crayons, drawing, colouring book & travel games.

#4 Sentimental bespoke stationery and invites.

After a year of living through a pandemic and many postponed weddings, weddings are much more sentimental this summer! Couples are looking for a bespoke, personalised celebration and your stationery and invites can do just that! Designer Grace from Grace Emily Designs says: ''I have seen a rise in couples requesting bespoke commissions of freehand sketching to create unique wedding stationery and invites. Brides and grooms want to personalise their wedding day and stationery is the perfect way to tell a couple's love story.

Our design work varies in style and brings elegant and original stationery to their special day through drawings of their beautiful wedding venue or home. The stationary we create is sentimental and the guest books are often framed to keep as wall decor.

#6 DIY creative order of service!

Rather than printing tons of orders of services that will be may get thrown away anyway, why not create a huge outdoor sign or you wedding day itinerary that all guests will see when they arrive. Make a big statement with a simple but effective sign with crates, or anything rustic you can find! Perfect for an outdoor farm summer wedding!

#7 Decorating the surrounding nature

We are loving these day and night decoration ideas for your summer wedding. For summer and outdoor weddings think about what is around you, get your creative juices flowing and think about how you can include the nature around you to create a magical feel to your wedding day. We love this DIY photo art wrapped around a tree and you can never go wrong with romantic lanterns and twinkle lights at night time.

#8 Rugs and carpets

Bohemian rugs are a stunning wedding trend that really set off any setting. If you’re having an outdoor wedding and the ground may not be too soft, think outside the box and use some rugs to dress the floors. Whether it’s to decorate your wedding aisle, a seating area or complement a backdrop rugs and carpets give a warm desert chic ‘look’ to your wedding day.

#9 Create romantic tunnels of light.

Neon & LED lighting create a romantic ambiance to any venue or location whether inside or out.

DIY with these amazing 6m x 3m waterproof led fairy curtain lights here. You will need a plug or an extension lead close buy for power.

#10 Colourful Groom Suits.

Traditionally black or grey suits are worn by grooms and his ushers. For Summer Weddings colourful or lighter coloured suits such as duck egg blue, green or cream are just as smart. If you want to keep to a darker suit add a splash of colour from your wedding theme with a patterned suit or coloured tie.

Outdoor weddings are hugely popular and for the bohemian, festival-loving couples a festival wedding themes are a must! Make use of the outdoors this summer with tipis to party all night long in, you can really go all out with a festival wedding theme.

#13 Shorter Wedding Dresses

With the warmer weather in summer short wedding dresses, backless or off-the-shoulder wedding dresses are popular to keep cool in the summer. We love this Tea Length off the should wedding dress, or choose a lightweight floaty wedding dress as they are so easy to wear and will keep you cool all day! Always ask your bridal designer which fabrics and styles are best to wear in summer to avoid feeling clammy and sweat marks.

#14 Bunting and ribbons!

You can never go wrong with tons of bunting and hanging ribbons to brighten up any wedding location! Not an expensive choice but always so effective! We love this 40ft vintage bunting pack from amazon here. It comes in a cute little bag too and you can cut the bunting made to measure.

#15 Floor Seating

Wild souls will love this! Create a cozy wedding reception with floor seating filled with pillows and cushions! Mix and match furniture is huge in 2021 too so don’t worry about mixing it up a bit to give an even more authentic shabby chic feel to your wedding day!

#16 Add in fruits to your table decoration

Adding in fruits will look incredible at a summer wedding. Use fresh or dried fruits and add them as decor to your table for a fresh look. Leave mouth-watering bowls of fresh fruit to match your summer wedding colour scheme on tables that guest will love to have as a refreshing snack on a hot summers day! Garnish any decor with some foliage to contrast if using light or bright colours.

#17 Patterned plates & crockery

Add a splash of colour to your table settings that your guests will love. Patterned and colourful table wear, crockery and plates can really set off your wedding tables. Bronze cutlery will compliment your table wear perfectly.

#18 Summer Wedding Colour pallets!

Sherbert pops, seaside blue, greys with pops of gold and tropical colours are huge wedding colours this year. Choose bright colours that fit right in to a summer vibe.

Rustic Wedding Backdrop

We absolutely fell in love with this versatile draped backdrop from Wachadoing Events. From the colours to the flowers and matching table decor, this could be intertwined into any wedding!

The backdrop works really well with rustic, natural weddings where the couple wishes to create a relaxed, back-to-nature look.  It looks fantastic in outdoor settings, barns and tipis but is also a brilliant way to add a touch of the outdoors to more contemporary settings.

The backdrop can be dressed in a variety of ways to fit in with the wedding colours and flowers.  Details such as bunting, extra foliage or lights can be added if required.  The backdrop is usually left open which creates a frame around the couple and enhances the venue rather than hiding it.  We can also cover the open space to allow it to be used as a selfie back drop.  The versatility of the backdrop is definitely part of its charm!

The logs used to create the backdrop were sourced from a sustainable forest management program here in the UK, making it a great ‘green’ addition to your wedding!

Looking for something fun and unique for your wedding day? These wings from Wachadoin Events are perfect to bring the ‘Wow!’ factor to any wedding where the couple wants to add a bit of fun and individuality to their wedding dressings!  More than a selfie booth! The Wings provide a great photo opportunity and an excuse for all those amazing poses!

The Wings are one of Wachadoin Event’s newest additions, they wanted to create something unique that would make the wedding stand out from the crowd! Inspired by the mural wings at the Baltic Triangle in Liverpool.  The Baltic Triangle wings have been a great photo opportunity for couples and they wanted to bring the same idea to the actual wedding!  Incorporating the ‘neon’ trend we think the Wings are a great addition to any wedding!

The Versatile Starcloth with uplighting!

The versatile Starcloth with uplighting! This beauty is called Starcloth, it’s literally like a giant wedding dress with built-in lights! Spanning 3meters tall and 9 meters wide it really is a showstopper.

Sharon from Coverstory Weddings & Events says, ‘This is one of our most popular backdrops as it‘s SO versatile! It lends itself to most types of weddings, for a large number of reasons. I have used it in so many variations, it’s hard to imagine a wedding where it wouldn’t work other than outdoors or a barn wedding of course. I think the Starcloth is so popular because it really is a striking piece, it can be used to brighten a dark room, hide pictures or curtains couples may not like in their venue, it can have swags on or off have balloon garlands climbing up it floral Garlands running along the top the list goes on it’s a great piece, but its main job is being one half of my princess package which consists of my Starcloth and ceiling drapes, this is a killer look and one that is so so popular.

As a couple, a backdrop may not be thought of as high upon the couples to-do list but it really should be the photographer will take lots of photographs of the ceremony, the couple at the altar/registrar table, speeches, etc so always being sure that the background of the photographs is as good as it can be, if it’s of a wall, curtains, or partition then simply by covering it with the Starcloth your pictures will last a lifetime looking fabulous with the couple as the focal point exactly as it should be.

Sharon’s top tip:

Don’t be scared to talk to your suppliers, voice anything you love, or don’t love about your venue, or concerns you may have for the day, we are experts in our field and more often than not will be able to come up with a solution that will leave you worry-free, excited and confident to go and relax and have the best day ever.

Isabel Wallis, Hats & Tiaras, “You want to enjoy every moment of your wedding, so wearing heels for an entire day and evening could instead mean worrying about sore feet! There has been a growing trend with brides choosing a beautiful bridal shoe for the ceremony and daytime reception, then stepping into something more comfortable for the rest of the evening. The great thing about wedding trainers is that you can wear them afterwards! With your wedding shoes, and trainers, make sure you break them in a little before your wedding by just wearing them around the house for short periods. You will be so thankful you did! And lastly, make sure you have your wedding shoes before any final alterations on your dress. There would be nothing worse than discovering your gorgeous heels were too high or too low for the perfect length on your wedding dress, so get your shoes sorted quite early!”

Tequila Sunrise!

Firstly, Tequila Sunrise. Created in Phoenix, Arizona in the 1930's. The cocktail is named as it is supposed to resemble a sunrise looking into the glass. 

How to make the above cocktail, you will need the following ingredients/equipment:

Tequila (50ml)
Grenadine (up to 25ml)
Topped with Orange Juice
Ice Cubes
Orange Slice
High Ball Glass (or something similar from your cupboard)
Bar Spoon or Tea Spoon
2 x straws
Cocktail Pourers
Cocktail Shaker
Drink Strainer/Sieve

This is a short and enjoyable too! It is also very easy to make! Lets "Mix it Up" and make it:

To make this cocktail, you will need to pour the Tequila (50ml) and the Orange Juice into the cocktail shaker, with a few ice cubes, (roughly 3/4 of the way up inside of the cocktail glass).

Then shake the cocktail 10/15 times over your shoulder, so that it has mixed properly. Pour the drink into your chosen glass, (with some ice cubes), by straining the drink.

Now pour the Grenadine (25ml) into the drink. Then give the drink a stir with the spoon, slowly to get the correct effect.

Finally, garnish with a slice of orange on the top of the glass.

Relax, sit back and enjoy the drink!

Moscow Mule Cocktail.

The combination of Smirnoff Vodka and Ginger Ale invented in Los Angeles, California in the 1940's a businessman called John Martin had the purchasing rights of the Smirnoff vodka brand and he realised that the Americans were not really into vodka.

Another man called Jack Morgan, who owned a British pub in Los Angeles called the Cock 'n' Bull was apparently struggling to shift his stock of Ginger Ale and his girlfriend was said to have owned a copper factory, so that's how the drink ended up in a copper mug. If you have a copper mug, rather than using a glass at home, the copper mug makes the drink cold.

For this cocktail recipe, you will need the following ingredients/equipment:

50ml Vodka
Ginger Ale
Ice Cubes
Slice of lime (for the garnish)
Copper Mug or Tumbler Glass (or something similar in your cupboard)
Cocktail Pourer
Knife/Chopping Board
Cocktail Shaker or Jam Jar (with a lid)
2 x straw (optional)

To make this cocktail, you will need to follow these simple steps.

This is a fairly straightforward cocktail to make but also very easy to drink too.

Firstly, place a few ice cubes in the glass/copper mug, them pour 50ml Smirnoff Vodka into the glass.

To finish the drink, top up with ginger ale. For the garnish, cut a lime slice and place on the edge of the glass.

Serve with a couple of straws, if you would like too.

Kick yourself back, relax and enjoy when making your cocktails.

Screwdriver Cocktail!

Lastly, the Screwdriver cocktail. The origin of this drink from America when the oil workers used to secretly sneak in vodka and tip this in their glass of morning orange juice while working on the job. As they did not have a clean spoon to mix the drink, they used a screwdriver instead! Hence the name. 

For this cocktail recipe, you will need the following ingredients/equipment:

50ml Vodka
Orange Juice
Ice Cubes
Slice of orange (for the garnish)
Strainer
High Ball Glass (or something similar in your cupboard)
Knife/Chopping Board
Cocktail Shaker
Cocktail Pourer
2 x sip straws (optional)

To make this cocktail, you will need to follow these simple steps.

This is a fairly straightforward cocktail to make but also very easy to drink too.

Pour 50ml Vodka and orange juice into a cocktail shaker along with a few ice cubes about a third of the way up, inside the cocktail shaker.

Shake the cocktail 10/15 times over your shoulder, until properly mixed. Place a few ice cubes into the glass, then pour the drink into the glass by straining it.

For the garnish, cut a (quarter) of an orange slice and place on the edge of the glass. Serve with a couple of straws, if you would like too.

Relax and enjoy!

Why you need Live Music at your micro wedding and a Q&A with expert musician CelloUna.

Why you need Live Music at your micro wedding and a Q&A with expert musician CelloUna.

Due to the impact of the pandemic Micro Weddings are Trending in 2021. With guest limits on weddings, some couples will be scaling down their music too!  Claire from CelloUna is here to offer her top tips and answer your question on why music is such an important part of your wedding day in 2021 and how she can make your micro wedding extra special.

Why have music at your Micro Wedding?

Your wedding is a unique day.  Live music definitely helps to create that perfect atmosphere.  There are so many important parts of the wedding where music playing in the background will create a romantic ambiance!  Could you even imagine a wedding without music? Now more than ever we are craving music to make up for all the live concerts we have missed out on this past year.

Why scale down on live music?

Maintaining distances will continue to be important in the immediate future, so an individual musician or duo will be a popular and more practical choice in 2021. With outdoor weddings on the rise, individual musicians are a popular option for this summer!

A single or duo musician can go anywhere!

Pick a musician that can move with you outside for your ceremony and drinks or can even play at your garden wedding too!  The cello is easily moved to where ever you want it to be! If the drinks reception is being held in a different room we can move- outside or inside!  It is great to have music in the background as guests mingle, get involved with photos and the music will help guests relax too! CelloUna is a great option and very adaptable.

Mini concert style music is on the rise in 2021

As dancing is out of the question at the moment mini-concerts will be on the rise in 2021. Music will be more about having a sit-down experience due to the restrictions, sort of like a mini-concert. With so many concerts being cancelled in the past year, this will be an unforgettable experience for you and that your guests will absolutely love!

When should a musician play during the day?

The main requests I have are

-       Playing whilst your guests arrive.

-       A special song as the bride enters.

-       Your choices of songs as the register is signed

-       A song as the newly weds leave.

You can even still have your first dance to live music, how wonderful would that be! If receptions are able to go ahead, you can have live music or background music whilst you’re enjoying your wedding meal too.

So why choose a cello for your wedding day?

Because of it's middling range, the cello has a special sound and lives in the richest, warmest areas in music. With it’s deep layers the cello is one of the most versatile of the strings instruments. Enjoy sinking into the depths of music with it’s lowest note vibrations, yet peaking with the sweetness of the high notes too! The cello has never been more of a popular choice for weddings and really will be a performance everyone will remember!

Add your favourite music with a backing track!

Not only a classical instrument the cello can transform your favourite song accompanied by a backing track. Push the traditional boundaries merging old styles with new, offering a pioneering cool concert for you and your wedding guests.

Whether you and your partner’s song is Jazz, Pop, Rock n Roll or anything in between the versatile cello can indulge in all your musical wishes! With less guests to please you really can create a playlist based on all the music you and your partner love!

Smaller guest list – bigger emotions.

Weddings are an emotional day for all as it is. In a year when you’re not able to have everyone there emotions will be bigger than usual and music will be so much more meaningful and sentimental.

What sort of music can I have?

Every bride and grooms choice of music is very personal.  Popular choices are Pachelbel’s Canon, Make you Feel My Love (Adele), All you Need is Love (Beatles) and A Thousand Years (Christina Perri) or even Bach Prelude in G + Apres Un Reve (like Harry + Megan’s wedding!). 

Some couples have had themed weddings - there has been a Star Wars wedding!  Perhaps this isn’t for everyone!!  CelloUna can work with you to make the music choices perfect for your special occasion.

---

 What packages are available with CelloUna?

The most popular package is 3 hours, which covers: music as the guests arrive into the ceremony room, ceremony and drinks reception.

Also available is a package for up to 2 hours, which covers: music for the ceremony and some of the drinks or the ceremony alone.

The Hottest Trends in Wedding Entertainment

The Hottest Trends in Wedding Entertainment

From fire breathers to magicians and living statues, there are more wedding entertainment options than ever!

Couples are constantly searching for new ways to entertain their wedding guests and create the perfect memories of their big day.

We’ve rounded up some of the most popular wedding entertainment ideas, to give you some inspiration for your big day. Something missing from our list? Let us know by commenting on our Facebook post here!

Magicians

Keeping guests entertained between breaks is essential. Magicians have been entertaining at weddings for hundreds of years and they’re still just as popular now. Magic tricks are perfect for during the reception, waiting for photos to be taken and entertaining guests throughout the entire day.

The Red Events team recommends Kevin Jay Magician, a talented magician that incorporates comedy and even hypnotism into his magic tricks. Card tricks, disappearing acts and sleight-of-hand wonders never fail to entertain wedding guests and add an extra bit of magic to the day.

Classical Music

For those looking to add a classical touch to their big day, classical music will never fail to hit the right note with guests. Stunning string quartets, like the Serenata String Quartet, and heartwarming harpists, like Maxine Moline-Rose and the Melandra Duo, are popular choices for elegant wedding entertainment.

Those wanting to make sure the soundtrack to their wedding day will never sound out of style opt for classical music–and it’s not just Pachelbel's Cannon being played. We see many couples that request their favourite contemporary song to be delivered by classical guitarists, like the incredibly talented Mat Lomas, to add a personalised touch to their ceremony.

Hire Acts and Fire breathers

Simply perfect for outdoor, tipi or garden style weddings, the choice here will definitely turn the heat up at your wedding!! Think outside the box!  Unique selections include roller skaters/living tables/red carpet ladies/living statues/dancers/hosts and hostesses/stilt walkers/circus acts! What ! I’m exhausted !

Caricaturist

Not only something fun for your guests it is a momentum of your wedding day that your guests can keep and remember forever. Great for between proceeding’s  or during wedding photographs!

Casino Table

A perfect ice breaker to keep guests mingling and entertained is a casino table, like Sapphire Occasions, with full-sized casino tables and professional croupiers.

Glitter Bar

One of the biggest trends we’ve seen this year is the popularity of makeup, glitter & tattoo bars, like Coco Vintage, where brides and guests can get glittered up for evening celebrations.

Animals

Animals are becoming very popular additions to wedding ceremonies again. Animal lovers across England cannot resist including their pet dog, cat (and even horses!) in their celebrations, with some even bringing their animals down the aisle with them!

Dog owners are spending hours training their canine friends to be the official ring bearer of their wedding. Even cat-loving guests can’t help but delight in adorable dogs playing such an important role in the ceremonies.

For those without pets, you can even hire animals for your wedding day. Jessie’s Miniature Shetland horses are extremely popular with kids and adults alike and make for the most beautiful wedding photos.

Outdoor games

While we can’t always guarantee good weather–even in the great British summer–outdoor games are becoming very popular ways to create memorable experiences on the big day.

Wedding guests are going crazy for giant snakes and ladders, croquet, horse shoe throw, giant Jenga and even tug-of-war games enjoyed outside. Events Hire companies like Glamour Events Hire even specialise in Lawn Games to help create the perfect outdoor entertainment on wedding days.

If the rain comes falling on the day, many games can easily be played indoors to get guests of all ages mingling and having fun. Retro Arcade games such as Pakman, Donkey Kong and Pinpong can all be enjoyed indoors. If all else fails, add some sparkle to your big day with a firework show that guests can enjoy from inside or outside.

Live bands and music

Whether it’s a solo singer, duo or a 12-piece brass band, live bands and music are the ultimate way to get your wedding party going. Guests can dance to live jazz, rock and roll or even a tribute act of your favourite idol or band.

Live music sets the mood for celebrations in the day and the night. Live acts like Blue Lion Band, The Pedal Tones and Lee Gordon are extremely popular acts in the North West that can really get the party started at weddings. Sets can be tailored to your personal choices, and guests will love the unique atmosphere that only quality, live music can create!

Photo booth or magic mirrors

It’s obvious why photo booths and magic mirrors are hugely popular at weddings! These beautiful and hilarious pictures are incredibly fun and make perfect treasured keepsakes for you and your guests.

Companies like the Booth Tube even bring props to help make your photos unforgettable. Guests love the talking point, and it’s a great way to get your guests mingling with each other.

For the Kids

An important thing to keep in mind when planning the entertainment for your wedding is to keep any young kids entertained. Failing to keep the little ones sufficiently entertained can lead to unhappy parents. Fun-filled goodie bags or a play area makes it easy to put a smile on kids’ faces.

You can also hire wedding nannies who will keep your kids entertained with arts, crafts and games. Companies like Squib & Squidge help to take care of kids and make sure all your guests–no matter how old–will enjoy your wedding day!

Why is wedding stationery important for your big day?

Choosing the right wedding stationery for your big day can sometimes be daunting, as there are lots of decisions to be made. Pearl Vine Print explains why wedding stationery is so important for your big day!

The main decision to be made are; what style am I going for - traditional or modern? What colour scheme do I want? What exactly do I need? A lot of couples don't realise at first how many items there are available to give the perfect finishing touches. As a stationery designer, I can help you use wedding stationary to make your big day as perfect as you always imagined it to be.

One of the first things to think about

One of the first decisions for a newly-engaged couple is to decide on the date. Once the date has been decided, you usually want to let your nearest and dearest know with a ‘Save the Date’. This is so important as it gets the guests excited as they can start to plan for your wedding, and also gives your guests their first keepsake of your wedding day. More importantly, it the first chance to set the theme of your wedding. There are digital options but a printed one will always be more special - there is something beautiful about receiving a beautifully designed Save the Date that you can keep forever.

It covers so many parts of your wedding journey

Apart from the Save the Date, there are so many other things to consider. Everything from the lead up to the wedding; invites, RSVPs - to the day itself; arriving at the venue, the Order of Service, welcome signage, Order of Events, signs for guest book tables, menus, name place cards, seating plans - the list goes on! There's nothing more exciting for me than a bride who has lots of ideas as the possibilities are truly endless! Budget will always be considered, so all ideas are achievable - no idea is too crazy!

It's a keepsake for many

I found personally that on my wedding day, there were so many comments made on a number of things. There were comments on the order of events which everybody loves to see to give them an idea of what was going on throughout the day. There were also the name place cards which the majority of guests kept as it was another special memoir of our wedding. Even with to the menus, guests wanted to remind themselves of the food options which is nice to have. If the couple go for individual menus then that's another thing guests can keep.

How do I decide exactly what I need?

Every couple is different and that's great for me as one day I can be designing a bohemian-style, floral invite and the next day a foiled, wax-seal invite. It depends on the venue, the couple's style and even the season when they are getting married. I always like to discuss with the couple if they have any ideas in mind and then take it from there, as most usually know what they'd like. I usually start with Save the Dates or invitations and then nearer the time they might want to look at their on-the-day items. I have house collections but offer a bespoke service for those who have a clearer idea of something specific they'd like me to design.

Finishing touches

The great thing with all of my collections being customisable is that there are luxury extras which can be done as a little add on. Wax seals can be customisable too and come in an array of colours. There's also vellum wraps, monograms (an emblem of the couple's initials - like a logo for their big day) and envelope liners to send out any stationery. There really are so many options and each decision is so important!

I think the key thing to remember is that everything can be done within reason and within budget. I also offer foiling as an option too for those who love a touch of luxury as much as I do. If you'd like to find out a bit more or would like to ask any questions about finding the stationery for you, please send me a message over on my website at www.pearlvineprint.com.

The 5 Trends Brides Can’t Get Enough

Every bride wants her makeup to be perfect for her big day, but it can be difficult to keep on top of bridal trends to make sure your makeup is on point. You may hear a range of different and sometimes even contradictory tips and even if you do finally get your head around it, how do you know if these “trends” will still be trendy by the time your wedding day actually comes around? 

Thankfully, makeup expert Natalie Hehir from Makeup by Nat is here to give you the most recent wedding trends that brides can’t get enough of.

  Top Trends

Berry Lips

Bye bye nude! This year is all about making bold statements with berry coloured lips. Celebs can’t get enough of the pretty but striking confidence that berry lips radiate. It’s the perfect colour to add a feminine palette to your makeup. Finish berry lips with more subtle blusher in pastel colours for the perfect combination.

---

Dewy Highlight

Ever wondered how celebrities get that beautiful and healthy glisten, without ever breaking into a sweat? Dewy highlights give you the catwalk glow while you walk down the aisle. Make sure you use creams rather powder to highlight and give a natural glow.

---

Full Lashes

Let’s be honest, you may not get a lot of beauty sleep the night before your wedding day. All the planning, drinking, nerves - and even some tears - can result in a tired bride. Fluffy strip lashes can give picture-perfect brides the ideal frame for the eyes and draw attention away from any bags under the eye area. Quality is important here to give a high-end appearance.

---

Pink and Mauve Eyeshadow

One of the biggest trends at Liverpool Fashion week were pink and mauve eyeshadow. These shades have recently been making an appearance in bridal makeup and are the industry’s must have for 2019! For best results, apply a neutral base coat, then use a shade of mauve in the crease. To complete the look, use a highlighter just above the crease and in the inner corner of the eyes to apply the pink shades.

---

How To Get The Perfect Look

So now you know the trends. What next? Here are Nat’s top techniques on how to achieve perfect the look.

1. Eyes first. Beginning with eye makeup first makes it easier to clean up any fallout before applying your base.

2. Prime your skin. Perfect makeup looks best on good skin, so it’s vital to prepare the skin beforehand. I recommend beginning as soon as possible to make sure your skin is healthy and glowing for the big day.

3. Good lighting is paramount. Many hotels have poor lighting which makes it harder to get the makeup just right. Check the room beforehand and use a ring light where possible.

4. Best for last. The bride’s makeup should be applied after the bridal party to ensure it’s fresh and perfect. A good makeup artist should always allow plenty of time for the bride and then touch ups on the bridal party if necessary.

Looking for that Perfect Wedding Invitation?

If you have started the journey to finding your perfect wedding invitation, you will know the choice is endless. Style? Colour? Pocket fold? Printed? Handmade? If you’re looking for some inspiration or just a place to start, why not begin by having a look at the top tips for invitation latest trends? Here is Cards by Samantha’s top tips when choosing the perfect wedding invitation!

Green:

Inspired by the Royal Wedding, which was full of beautiful green and white shades, this colour is tipped to be big this year. It is such a versatile colour and as it is found in nature in abundance, it can also be teamed with lots of different trends, which are also going to be popular – rustic wood, flowers and leaves, sparkle, various shades of metallics. Green also goes well with the ever-popular blush colour.

Purple:

Very popular a few years ago, this colour is making a comeback! From the rich and exotic deep purple, through magentas, lilacs and mauves, all shades look beautiful on wedding stationery. Colour can be included in a number of ways – ribbons, dried lavender flowers (which also give the recipient of your invitation an amazing aroma!) or a simple mauve mount – purple always add a touch of luxury.

Navy :

Navy is the new black! Navy is stunning – teamed with blush, golds, silver or paler blues. It is very versatile and warmer than black, but still as dramatic. Bridesmaid dresses also look fabulous in this colour and it suits most skin-tones.

Metallics:

Metallics are not just gold or silver! Metallics are set to be everywhere and they are so easy to incorporate into your venue and table decorations. Why not combine two coloured metallics – silver AND gold go well together. Also think about copper (which has been a big home decor trend this year) and rose gold – which has also been popular this year. Metallics look lovely teamed with blush, clean white and navy and lend themselves to the geometric paper trend in invitations.

Floral and Nature:

Floral and Nature whether choosing printed florals or paper flowers and leaves to decorate your invitations, flowers are usually a big part of any wedding day and it starts with your invitation. The trend for garland decorated invitations also incorporates the floral theme, as does the green colour trend. I like using florals as the elements can be taken and used to great effect on all your co-ordinating day stationery.
