What’s on trend for 2016?

by

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!

Milton Keynes Wedding Show

by

Morris the vintage VW wedding campervan and the Pear Tree Team had such a great time at the Milton Keynes Wedding Show last weekend!

Clearly Morris was very popular, but so too were the little Keepsake Bears that we took along, we have Morris Bear, Basil Bear and Bernie Bear….and no surprise to hear they each live in their own VW wedding camper van.  The fabulous keepsake bears are the creation of Vikki at Blossom and Badger!  For years Vikki has hand created keepsake bears out of children’s clothing (the sorts of clothes you can’t bear to throw away and end up storing in a box in the loft!!) but has now started to make the lovable bears out of wedding fabrics, including veils as a keepsake for your wedding day.  Each bear is lovingly handmade, with your wedding date embroidered on your bear’s foot!

We love our bears, and they attracted so much attention at the Milton Keynes Wedding Show it was clear that you all loved them too!

For more details and to have a look at the monkeys, elephant, and lion designs too, pop over to www.blossomandbadger.co.uk prices start form £55.

 

Pear Tree Weddings TV stars!

by

Well, as if completing hundreds of weddings a year isn’t exciting enough – last week we were involved in two television productions!

Firstly Plum Productions the company behind Shed of the Year for Channel 4 came out to film our VW shed, and then Morris and Daphne attended a wedding on Friday that was filmed for ITV’s Lorriane Kelly show!

We are off for more filming with Channel 4 next week & then the production company will edit the footage for this summer’s Amazing Spaces series with George Clarke….we’ll be sure to let you know when the programs are due to be aired.

Time for a makeover Bernie!

This week we said good-bye to Bernie as he goes off to Rapid Rodent Racing for his external makeover!

Bernie already looks absolutely stunning thanks to his superior hand crafted interior – thanks to his awesome re-fit by camper shak – so it’s just his exterior that needs sorting.

Having sat Bernie alongside the rest of the fleet over the last few weeks we’ve decided to have him re-sprayed in a more muted vintage blue, so that he tones better with the cream and vintage green vans…..so we have opted for a lighter blue, an original 1950s Mercedes paint colour, he’s going to look simply stunning!
