We feel like words will never do this event justice, but we’ll give it a go! We had the honour of organising a very special clients wedding day this Christmas, and we decided to go with a Winter Wonderland mixed with Great Gatsby theme! The ceremony was beautiful and took place in the upstairs galleries at One Marylebone, where we used the gorgeous Chandelle chairs from Great Hire. We brought in a harpist to play during the wedding precession, and created a beautiful floral backdrop using our friends at the amazing Wildabout Flowers. Moving through the drapes into the reception, the champagne was flowing and the canapés mouth-watering – just a taster of what was being provided by our dynamic caterers Zafferano for the evening to come. Downstairs we created a Narnia-esque entrance, with real 8ft Christmas trees lining the walkway of the draped tunnel we created to lead into dinner. Again we were working with the geniuses at Wise Productions who designed custom Gatsby monogram gobo’s to project on the walls, and lit the room in gold tones to create a glamorous and intimate atmosphere. The tables were adorned with huge floral arrangements and candles in crystal candleholders, branded selfie sticks and personalised shimmering name card menus. The food was exquisite and the guests were left satisfied. Moving on into the rest of the evening, after the first dance, the drapes were pulled back to reveal a photobooth, ice sculpture, dessert station, light up letters and a casual seating area with personalised pillows! Guests danced to the beats of the amazing band The Soul Jets into the early hours of the morning. The whole event was a huge success and we haven’t even been able to fit in every detail!
