If you are really into wedding planning, and want to have fun with everything that goes into a wedding, there are some extra touches that you can use. These are not necessary, and your wedding will be great without them, but they are fun and can add an extra touch to your big day that your guests might appreciate. One of these things is wedding stationary. You can go out and get this and then use it for all things wedding-related.

You may be the only one that truly appreciates your wedding stationary, but that is okay. So many people have given up on the written word these days that finding or having the right wedding stationary made will set you apart from the crowd. You can use this for all kinds of things in relation to your wedding. If you want to send out hand written notes with invitations, or if you want to hand write your thank you notes, having this matching stationary is a must for the touch that has been missing from correspondence for a very long time. These can be handcrafted or custom made by either a high street store or more frequently now sourced online.

There are many brides who buy printed thank you notes to use for both bridal shower thank you’s and for the wedding gift thank you notes. This is fine and perfectly acceptable, but that is not the only way that you can do things. You can order wedding stationary for these reasons and really surprise some of your guests. Those older guests who remember when everything was sent on stationary will love that you sent a hand written note on your wedding themed stationary. It is probably something they did when they married, and are sad that so many brides skip it today.

When you choose wedding stationary, you want to get something that matches your theme idea. Whether you have just chosen colors for your theme, or if you have gone with something more complicated to symbolize your love and personalities on your wedding day. If you have a picture or graphic that you have used on your invitations and you other wedding related paper items, this would be perfect for your wedding stationary. You don’t have to have stationary that matches, you find something related that ties in with what you are doing on your big day.

Use your wedding themed stationary when you send out thank yous for your bridal shower and bachelorette party (if you have one). Do the same when you send out thank yous for all of the gifts that you are going to get on your wedding day. If you choose to send personal notes out to those that you know are going to have to spend more money to come to your wedding, use your new wedding stationary for that as well. You will want to send out wedding announcements to those that could not come, so use your stationary to add a personal note to these as well. It is a classy touch that will be remembered and appreciated because there are very few that do it any more.

We  have supplied a whole range of wedding transportation through the years so whatever you have in mind contact us on and we will do everything in our power to get you what you wish.

Nowadays things have changed big time and if you want to hire unusual wedding transport then anything is possible.

Of course the majority of our clients still prefer the luxury of a limo or the timeless elegance of a classic or vintage car but whatever you need we can supply.Here we take a look at some of the more outlandish wedding vehicles’ that have been used to transport the bride and groom, almost anything is possible just ask.

Emergency Vehicles
Always fancied travelling in an emergency vehicle without being apprehended, on fire or hospitalised? Well you are able to these days – and what’s more, you’ll be able to do so on the way to your wedding!
Fire Engines, American Ambulances and American Police Cars have all been engaged as alternative wedding transport in the last few years, and as word spreads so do the number of companies providing such a service.
Some of the wedding emergency vehicles on offer here in the UK have been fully converted into lavish limousine style transport while others remain truthful to their history. All come with their own drivers and will unquestionably turn heads – particularly if you are able to sway the driver to sound the siren for a few seconds!
They certainly are an unusual form of wedding transport that will really make a splash.

Wedding Tuk Tuk
The wedding tuk tuk is the perfect alternative wedding transport for those couples planning an Oriental themed wedding, looking to honeymoon in the Far East or merely wishing to stand out from the crowd.

Fundamentally an automatic rickshaw, the tuk tuk is popular across a good deal of South and East Asia, and is a small three-wheel vehicle that gains its name from the noise that the engine creates. It’s extremely manoeuvrable (perfect wherever access to the wedding venue is tight) and can lawfully travel about UK roads. They’re unique, offbeat, make the most astonishing sound, and will really get people looking.

Wedding Helicopters
OK, wedding helicopters are fairly extravagant, but if travel by land plainly isn’t for you, then why not arrive at your wedding through the sky!

Prior to jumping straight in and booking this form of alternative wedding transport, there are some things you’ll require to ensure before renting any wedding helicopter. In the first place permission to land and take off from landholders needs to be sought beside confirmation that the times you plan to fly are appropriate. Certain additional guarantees may be needed by the hire company so be prepared, and be sure you ask all the essential questions up front.

While any helicopter you hire will be piloted, it’s improbable that the pilot will be dressed in anything too smart. If this does cause a special problem, a little more hard cash changing hands could help rectify the position.

Extreme Wedding Transport

Of course any mode of transport is theoretically conceivable. In the past, accounts of couples arriving on horseback, by canoe, in a hot air balloon, tractor, JCB, camper van and even in a hearse have all made the press. As a matter of fact, every year we see couples enquiring where they can hire unique and unusual forms of wedding transport, from miniature trains to donkeys!

Whatever type of alternative wedding transport you select make certain to enjoy it and prepare yourselves for the envious stares from wedding guests and the public that will come your way!

For many an evening disco to dance the night away is all that’s needed where others prefer live music.

Wedding party entertainment is not just for the evening either. There are many opportunities to introduce music, particularly live music, throughout the day. A nice touch is a solo singer to help the hymn singing in church and to keep your wedding guests entertained while the newlyweds sign the register. A harpist works well here too.

At the reception maybe you want a pianist gently playing in the background while you welcome your guests with a glass of champagne. In the evening a live jazz band may be in order or perhaps something a little more refined like a string quartet. Cover bands are popular, music groups who play the songs of well known artists. Or maybe just a very loud disco is exactly the ticket.

Whatever wedding music ideas you have talk to us, we have every kind of  party entertainment available to you, all you need to do is ask. Just contact us at our wedding shop in Manchester and let us help you

Here are  few suggestions to get you thinking….
