We actually had a process for this, which is unlike us! We started scouring as many resources as we could. Websites like Rock My Wedding were invaluable for collecting inspiration. This then got distilled into a PowerPoint presentation of mood boards for each element of the day. We then started sharing this with venue-recommended suppliers. When we were running out of ideas (and steam!) we brought Whole Lotta Love weddings on board. She really brought the whole show home for us.
Lion Dance At Multicultural Christmas Wedding
We wanted a wedding that felt truly ours. For us, that meant a civil ceremony. Following that, an exceptional meal, cocktails, a lion dance to surprise our guests, a classic wedding disco upstairs followed by a nightclub "afterparty" downstairs. Lots of this might be standard fare for a wedding. But it took place in the coolest environment we could've imagined. The lower hall was transformed into an Asian Speakeasy Boudoir (and later nightclub!), while the upper hall was a twinkly winter wonderland. This was complete with a Christmas tree (decorated by our guests), bespoke bauble place cards, foil streamers and more!
Across the three rooms, we were able to get 3 styles that reflected exactly what we wanted. The Westminster Room at the Marylebone Town Hall is their grandest room. The whole place felt majestic... Perfect for a ceremony. The upstairs hall then was a Disco-Christmas wonderland. We created fauna archways as you enter, pink-hued tablescapes, a Christmas tree that we asked guests to bring an ornament to decorate, a grant piano (& pianist!) and lights galore. Finally, the downstairs hall had an exotic, oriental vibe that invited our guests to relax, mingle and (most importantly) party.
