Friday 13th….unlucky?

June 13, 2014 by Jo Gosling

So, we were sat in the office today thinking how odd it was that we had no weddings booked for today – the only Friday in the entire wedding season without a wedding….when some bright spark said “Well who would want to get married on Friday 13th?”   Good point…….but that got us thinking about the bad luck and good luck superstitions that are associated with weddings.

Did you know for example finding a spider in your wedding dress is very good luck – so too is rain on your special day!

Wilson the classic VW campervan was at a wedding a few months ago with a chimney sweep….meant to be a sign of good fortune at the start of your marriage – why?    Well, over 200 years ago a London chimney sweeper saved the life of King George III, the king then proclaimed all sweeps were good luck bearers – to ensure a long happy marriage a kiss from a chimney sweep on your wedding day is still believed to be the ultimate good luck.

As for the horseshoe that appears so often on a wedding day – well, it’s fair to say it is a symbol of luck – the origins of which are a little unsavoury, so for now just keep carrying those horseshoes, but don’t concern yourself too much with why!

BUT – stop press – the funniest superstition we found was “Having a cat eat out of your left shoe one week before the wedding is good luck” – oh, please let us know if you ever try this one out!!!

Basil, Morris and Wilson, a selection of our split screen campers are all out tomorrow….finger crossed we meet a chimney sweep!

Chauffeurs….experienced, professional & adored!

May 30, 2014 by Jo Gosling

We have our fair share of fabulous thank you cards & letters, in fact hardly a day goes by without someone getting in touch to thank us  ….and there are several constant themes that appear time and time again – mostly how fabulous our VWs are, the superb organisation of the VW wedding and finally how completely amazing our chauffeurs are!

Pear Tree Weddings works alongside a team of ten highly trained and skilled chauffeurs – all from a variety of back grounds ranging from Police Officers to HGV drivers, from City Bankers to Professional Translators….we work with some really interesting people!  What brings them all together is their love of VWs and their high standards when delivering a superb service on your wedding day.

The role of the chauffeur is to deliver outstanding service, whilst ensuring the safety of the passengers and VWs at all times – they will never take a risk, and they will always seek to deliver a drive that is pleasurable and memorable.  The chauffeur will usually stay in the background – there when you need them, but not in the way.

So this is how much our chauffeurs are loved – several of them have been asked to join the wedding breakfast as the couple so desperately want their chauffeur to carry on being part of their wedding day!  Quite a few of our drivers have received tips – which is not necessary (we do pay them) but is much appreciated by them!  Some of our chauffeurs have even been given Thank You gifts when they leave….several walking away from a reception with a gorgeous bottle of Champagne……and on one memorable day a driver was given a home made ‘pie’…..which he LOVED!

“We just adored Keith – he was so helpful & professional”

“Clive was amazing – he even had the right words to say when I broke down in tears!”

“Charles – a true gentleman, helpful, professional and just a joy to spend the journey with”

“Paul was just great – he made my daughter’s fairy tale wedding dreams come true”

“We can’t thank you enough for providing such a great chauffeur – he was just perfect”

If you have any questions about who your chauffeur will be, please do get in touch!

Personalise your day!

May 28, 2014 by Jo Gosling

Your wedding is truly individual – you and your other half, your family and friends all coming together at your chosen venue to celebrate your day.

Pear Tree Weddings are delighted to be able to offer some added extras to help your VW wedding become even more personal! We’ve mentioned the printed ribbons before, but there is no harm mentioning them again…. there is such a wide range of stunning colours and font options (in fact we’ve just ordered a gorgeous purple ribbon with silver printing – can’t wait to see that on the VW).  But our favourite little added extra at the moment is the personalised bunting that can go inside the campervan on your wedding day – it makes for some fabulous photos as well as a simply gorgeous keepsake!

This bunting is available in white, with your choice of colour printing – our brides have always had the love heart shape, but I’m sure something a little more adventurous could be attempted!  The choice of words is totally up to you – bride & groom names, wedding date, wedding venue, name of the VW…you choose!  Priced at £20, we need a few weeks to have the bunting produced….we think it is well worth it (which is why Morris, Wilson and Daphne all have their very own personalised versions!)

Please do get in touch for more details……. info@peartreeweddings.co.uk
