I
wanted to write today's blog post as a special thank you to one of
our lovely brides whose email made me smile from ear to ear when it
popped into my inbox this week! Carla got in touch with some fabulous
images of Vintage Twee's creations at her wedding, which took place
last September with a vintage fairytale theme. It's not often we get
to see our items 'in action' so to speak and so we are always
grateful when people take the time to show us just how they were
incorporated into their special day. So this piece is a massive thank
you to Carla and Michael, who were married on 22nd
September 2012 at Warwick Castle. All images are by the fantastic
Steve Gerrard Photography, and I think you'll agree that they are
simply stunning!
Vintage
Twee was lucky enough to create a number of fairytale themed items
for Carla and Michael, including our Enchanted Fairytale Favour Boxes. These looked beautiful lay at the place settings of the
guests, and fit perfectly amongst the gold and cream colour scheme of
the day. The boxes contained little brown organza bags which were
filled with special personalised M&Ms bought from Las Vegas on
Carla's hen do – 22 of them to represent the date of the wedding, a
beautiful idea! Carla also let us know that there were no boxes left
on the tables at the end of the evening – music to our ears here at
Vintage Twee! We love that people cherish our items as gifts, as well
as décor, and take them home as a memento of the day. 
We
also had the pleasure of creating some bespoke lottery ticket holders
for Carla and Mike, which incorporated the brown, gold and cream
colour scheme and captured the magical essence of the day. These were
placed inside bags and left at guest's place settings..unfortunately
we didn't make any millionaires on the day but £30.00 between
everyone was better than nothing! Carla also requested some confetti cones to be created from the same fairytale paper that we made her other items from. These were printed with different sayings such as Happily Ever After, and Once Upon a Time and were embellished with a gold bow. They looked so beautiful placed in a basket for guests to take! Carla's mum also got creative with some additional fairytale paper we printed, and she made origami shapes for their wish tree and centrepieces! Each tree had a different shape to match the table name, such as 'Beauty and the Beast' which featured a rose and Carla displayed her table names in Italian to follow her dad's heritage. These are so lovely that perhaps Carla's mum would like a job here.... :)
Finally,
Vintage Twee created our infamous cupcake sticks which were displayed
in these beautiful cupcakes bought from Selfridges which looked
absolutely delicious!
So
a massive heartfelt thank you to Carla and Mike for sharing these
photographs with us, they are simply stunning and all recognition
goes to Steve Gerrard for capturing our items in such a fantastic
way. And the best news for us?? Everything was so greatly appreciated
that their guests made sure that none of the items were left behind
at the end of the day, reassuring us at Vintage Twee HQ that our work
is more than just a 'favour', it is a much loved keepsake, taken home
and cherished as a reminder of a very special day.
Congratulations
to Carla and Mike on their wedding and we wish you a lifetime of
happiness together! Xxxx
