Perfect Wedding

184

A

s I’m an illustrator and

Kong’s a designer, we’re

both very creative and

decided to make a lot of our wedding

decorations ourselves. We were

aiming for a kitsch, quirky, vintage

feel, with lots of bright colours.

Each table was animal themed, so

we put a little vintage figurine inside

a clear bauble to represent each

table, along with the list of names. It

took me over a year to collect all the

vintage animals, mostly from charity

shops, eBay and car boot sales.

I also bought a job lot tea set from

eBay, and made a personalised

transfer to add to the plates. These

meant they worked as place names,

and doubled up as favours for our

guests to take home.

We used lots of artificial flowers

for our arrangements, as it meant I

could put them together in advance.

They added to the kitsch look of the

day, and saved us lots of money too!
