What’s on trend for 2016?

January 6, 2016 by Jo Gosling

One of the best things about being in the wedding business at Christmas time is seeing all the new ‘trends’ that “those in the know” think will be popular for the coming year!

Having waded through piles of wedding magazines (it’s a tough job, but someone has to do it!) here’s the round up of top trends for 2016!

INDIVIDUALITY – having followed wedding styles for years, brides & grooms will be pleased to know that offering a fun experience for their guests in their own individual style is the top tip for this year….

METALLICS – whether it’s glitzy golds or shimmering silvers, get them on your wedding tables!

DREAMY ROMANTIC – and to go with those marvellous metallics, to create that romantic intimate environment turn your attention to lighting, it’s going to be very important in 2016!

REMINDERS OF HOME – more and more elements of places and people that hold special memories for the couple, their family and friends will feature at the reception, making your event truly personal and individual….there are some lovely ideas of photo hanging, we love this one!

And much to our relief, it would seem that rustic is till in, those barns, boho chic styling and vintage elements will still feature strongly this season!

Winter VW wedding jobs!

January 22, 2015 by Jo Gosling

So it’s January and we’re not doing weddings…what are we up to at Pear Tree Weddings? Are we relaxing & chilling out until the new wedding season starts? Gosh no….we’re at work harder than ever – just different sorts of hard work!

We have just under 3 months every year to ensure our wedding hire VWs are in absolutely impeccable condition – we are incredibly proud of our show room standards, but it’s hard work to maintain them!  So, there are some body enhancements for each of the VW campervans and of course for Wilma the wedding Beetle….each vehicle also has a good major service, and (my favourite part) we make interior upgrades.  This year both Daphne and Wilson are having new blinds similar to those in Basil.  Wilson is also having new flooring, similar to that in Morris.  And all the VW camper vans are having some totally fabulous and exciting new buntings and cushions – the designs are simply amazing – can’t wait to share the photos with you!

We are also to-ing and fro-ing with Bruce and Bernie as they receive their total makeovers!

With all this in mind, we have to apologise if we’ve not been in the office as much as normal, although office hours are 9.30am until 2.30pm, Monday to Friday blind making & servcing dont happen in the office, so we’re out & about a fair bit taking VWs for re-sprays, servicing and at home to make 14 blinds……. please be assured though we check email every few hours & pick up messages daily – we’ll get back to you as soon as we can!

Time for VW hibernation!

December 3, 2014 by Jo Gosling

For Pear Tree Weddings it is nearly the end of the 2014 VW wedding season – we will review the year in full over the next few weeks, but for now it’s time to look forward to the next few days & the last few winter weddings.

Daphne, Flossy, Basil and Wilma (and Bruce!)  are now all tucked up tightly in their garages & barns taking it easy for a few weeks and enjoying a well earned rest before we start the servicing, detailing and titivating the wedding campervans and beetle ready for the 2015 VW wedding season….in fact today we’ll be making new curtains for Daphne – so although weddings may be slowing, the work for us just changes…..from managing weddings to enhancing & loving our gorgeous show room condition wedding VW fleet!

Over the next few days Wilson and Morris will be attending three weddings, and then they too can have a well deserved break. (Although Wilson is having new flooring and curtains – so he wont rest for  too long!).

So, other companies drive their VWs throughout the winter – why don’t we?  Well here at Pear Tree Weddings we recognise that:

– The VWs dont have ABS brakes or power steering & with the potential of icy roads we just don’t think they’re safe enough for wedding passengers
– The VWs do not like salty roads – wet salty roads are the last thing these VWs need – salt can play havoc with the paint work & under side of the vans & beetle!
– The VWs don’t have the most efficient heating – we really don’t want a shivering bride on her big day!
– ………and most importantly for us – we want a couple of months to work on our award winning fleet to ensure they are in absolutely perfect condition for the 2015 wedding season.

VW Wedding Season slows…..

November 5, 2014 by Jo Gosling

So here we are on the 5th November and we are wondering what to do this Saturday!  Although we have weddings on Friday, as the wedding season starts to slow down, we have ring-fenced a Saturday & Sunday off!!! YIIPPEEE!!!!

Here at Pear Tree Weddings we run our wedding season from March when the daffodils start to peep through until the beginning of December when the Christmas tree goes up……we know lots of you get married during the winter months, however we believe our VWs need a rest…..and if i’m quite honest, so do we!

The vintage and classic wedding VWs don’t have power steering, and they don’t have ABS braking systems….which we think are quite essential for winter road driving, but even more importantly maybe for you, they don’t have efficient heating!!!  We also don’t want the VW wedding fleet suffering from ice and salt – all in all we’d prefer them tucked up in hibernation for the deep winter months.

As for the Pear Tree team?  We’ll be working hard – we’ll be renovating & titivating the VW campervans and VW Beetle, servicing and pampering them too.  In the office we’ll be planning the several hundred weddings we already have on the books for 2015, as well as taking lots of new bookings.

As for this weekend, well, after Fridays weddings have finished the Pear Tree Family will be driving off in to the sunset for a weekend break – enjoying out first Saturday lie in for over 9 months….can’t wait!
