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.

Behind the scenes – VW photoshoot!

June 20, 2014 by Jo Gosling

As soon as Morris came on board we had a huge amount of interest in him – being the oldest bespoke wedding VW in the UK he drew an awful lot of attention……so we held a photo shoot so that we could share some amazing images of him, alongside Wilma the VW wedding Beetle.

The Pear Tree Team went to Plum Park Hotel, Towcester for a fabulous & fun day with Ravinder Crone, an award winning and published lifestyle, portrait and wedding photographer.  We borrowed some incredible dresses from A Brides World in Northampton and the most gorgeous page boy outfit from Suitors in Buckingham……with simply stunning flowers from Emma at Signature Flowers, Quainton.

So, Ravinder Crone produced some incredible images of the VWs…..but the pictures we loved ?  The behind the scenes shots…..when the models didn’t realise the camera was still snapping away….. when it started raining and the models huddled together on the bench…… the page boy running around handing out snacks from his box of flapjacks!

But the very best shots of the day….well of course we are a little bias……surely the beautiful bridesmaid & page boy……a.k.a. Little Miss & Master Pear Tree!

“Will my dress fit in?”

March 6, 2014 by Jo Gosling

Wilma  is our superb and quite rare 1978 Karmann Cabriolet VW Wedding Beetle, with a 1600cc fuel injected engine (which gives her a very distinctive purr!)

Wilma is a “Champagne Edition”, a rare beauty with pure white body and Champagne coloured convertible roof.  The “Champagne Edition” VW Beetle was a special run, some of the last that Karmann ever made…… one of these cars was given to each VW dealer in the USA in 1977/78 as a display model!

Wilma has been a wedding girl for many years, she is very experienced and very professional…… and the big question we always get asked is “Will ma dress fit in?” (Hence she was named ‘Wilma’!).  The answer is yes, there is a lot more room than you may think, and all our chauffeurs are well trained in helping brides effortlessly get in and out of Wilma!

And for your wedding day Wilma is simply perfect – with her beautiful styling, her gorgeous paintwork and shiny chrome finished off with her subtle coloured hood – she looks classically stunning.
