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
