Perfect Wedding Expo Fuengirola November 2009

Here are some of our images of the Wedding Exhibition this weekend, some fabulous fashion shows and entertainment, a well laid out exhibition hall and our wintery wedding themed stand!

Having left this to the last minute we quickly put together a white and silver theme for the stand with a fairy light backdrop for that extra twinkle :) The fairy cakes did not last!
A lovely weekend had by all and thanks to Gary for our photos.

We have been invited to another wedding exhibition this weekend at the H10 Andalucia Plaza Hotel opposite Puerto Banus, we would love to see you there.

Verdict of the Perfect Wedding Expo

Just got back from a long weekend at the Perfect Wedding Expo. The first English speaking wedding show in the Costa Del Sol, my thoughts.....

Having paid a deposit for our stand and initially been excited by this innovative event, we were subsquently disappointed with the handling of the exhibitors of this show, whilst I appreciated there was a lot of work involved, I had expected more communication with the organisers and a decent website and marketing to be done.

Having realised this was not the case I opted out and was prepared to lose my deposit.

However, I was contacted by Gary Tapp, the photographer who said he would share the cost of my stand (which had gone up) and would help me man it for the weekend so after much deliberation I decided to go for it, nothing to lose.

My verdict, it was a good weekend, Saturday was busy, today was quieter, but overall, a brilliant job and exhibition put together and the organisers pulled it off. A good way to network with other suppliers in the Wedding World without having to arrange hundreds of cups of coffees for the next few months and nice relationships forged.

It is a shame that there were some people that let Wendy down with all the hard work she put into this, in particular the website designer, but as it was the first exhibition I would personally give it a 10 out of 10 for a wonderful weekend and hope it has set a precedent for more, which I am sure from the feedback this evening it will. Next year a lot more organisation from the communication and website point of view and I can see this becoming a very large featured show each year, it has my full support.

Well done to the Perfect Wedding Expo team for pulling this off despite some small grey areas. We will post some photos of the exhibition as soon as Gary sends them to me!

Is this 2009's tackiest wedding?!

I am still speechless at this wedding that was sent to me via a Greek friend, could this be the tackiest wedding for 2009. I quickly have to add we have nothing to do with this, but just had to post it :)! I don't think Martha Stewart would have approved! I would love to receive any other horrendously tacky weddings if anyone out there has some, we could start a competition! Enjoy the photos!

Calling all vampire lovers!

As Twilight and True Blood are hugely popular and the latest rage and of course it is Halloween, we found this fabulous board on It's a Jaime Thing for a vampire style wedding!

Deep reds and blacks, truly goth, and how about some ghoulish cupcakes thrown in!

Fabulous Wedding at Puente Romano, Marbella

We loved this photo of the notes hastily written down, note Jeremy's and my mobile numbers just in case!
We were so excited to finally see the photos of Carla and Matt's wedding held here at the beautiful Puente Romano Hotel.

Carla was a delight to work with and knew exactly what she wanted, we only met twice to put all these lovely details together to make the day so special.

Carla chose a lemon for her main theme that we accentuated with bright colours, pinks, oranges and vivid greens. The bridal flowers were country style handties with roses in pinks and lemons with touches of green and oranges, our pedestals for the ceremony were vivid and brightly coloured to lift the wedding, which we later moved down to the beach club for the main reception.

We made up fans with lemon ribbons and fuchsia paper roses, large confetti cones fixed to the sides of the chairs down the aisle filled with pink, orange and lemon rose petals and the rest of the petals were scattered on the aisle.

After a very moving ceremony, beautifully conducted by Andrew Hunter, the wedding party moved down to the stunning setting of the Suite Del Mar on the beach.

We used the same style country style rose arrangements placed in square vases for the table centrepieces, set on table mirrors with bright floating candles in votives and lots of pink, yellow and green table crystals, the end result was very elegant.

We tied the napkins with lemon organza ribbons and the same fuchsia rose detail as the fans and tied each guest's name to the napkins.

Our decorated cava bottles marked the girls seats and personalised cigars were placed out for the men. Yet again we found a tree for our handmade, famous table seating cards!

Our thanks to Jeremy and Jenny for these fabulous photos and to see this wedding slideshow and more images of Carla and Matt's wedding, visit Jeremy's beautiful blog

Vampire Chic for Weddings and Parties

This red and black wedding is perfect for a Gothic celebration and we love the spanish style cake.

The table names are in elaborate ornate blackframes with the names Dracula in this image, I can imagine, with all the vampire hype at the moment, of all the other table name possibilities you could come up with! Twilight springs to mind of course!

A vampire themed night would be amazing, getting away from the usual pumpkins with the orange and black theme, this theme would be far more stylish for a Halloween soiree. Image found on www.swankytablesblog.com
