The Weirdly Wonderful!

Today's blog inspiration was quirky and unusual details; 'in' jokes, thoughtful touches and details full of personality. If you are a couple who doesn't take themselves too seriously, make sure your wedding reflects that; you don't want have memories of a wedding that just didn't feel like you.
So, in celebration of a little silliness, I have compiled a list of my favourites so far...

1) The Diary Room
Think Big Brother, unless if like me, you can think of nothing worse! Feelings aside, a video recording of well wishes is a fun and thoughtful way to bring your guestbook to life, and will be something to watch back and laugh at for years to come; especially since the drink flows as the night goes on!



2)Weddington Boots
Festival or Country Fair style wedding? Outdoor venue? Chance of rain? Hello, Britain! Embrace Old Blighty's unpredictability with a pair of Weddington Boots from www.weddingtonboots.com. With prices starting at just £39.99, you can also have your boots customised! What's not to love?



3) Midnight Snacks
A little slice of relived youth with an heir of sophistication, midnight snacks are a brilliant way of wrapping up your reception and ending the night on a high note. Remember the excitement at midnight from your childhood sleepovers? Treat your guests to a little bit of that! You could have takeaway food delivered (pizzas, Chinese food) or serve up some little treats of your own. I love the idea of milk in champagne flutes and a giant cookie! Keep it gourmet by having everything in miniature, or go 'all out feast' with bacon butties or burgers and chips. Instead of having this as an extra expense, you could divide you evening catering into two.
Pictured below: Mini chip cones, mini burgers and fries with ketchup, chocolate dipped strawberries, milkshake shots and brownie bites, mini cheese toastie with mini mugs of tomato soup (LOVE THIS!), gourmet hotdogs, chocolate fondue with fruit and cookies, macaroons.

 
 
4) This is a divine idea for a vintage style wedding; table runners from old photos. Make copies of your favourite old family photos, laminate them and stick together. Who needs centrepieces? You could also do this for place settings.



5) Bucket 'o'shoes
The music is playing, everyone is dancing in their seats because their fabulous new shoes are murder.
I give you; A Bucket of Shoes. Genius. They could also double up as favours for the ladies; think coloured flip-flops or soft slippers in small, medium and large...now imagine the comedy photos!

 
 
Let me know if you have any quirky ideas of your own!
 
Until next time...
 
Have fun, make memories, enjoy life.
 
The Enchanted One xoxo
