Wedding Bands – The Players Funny First Dance Stories

We all have a funny story to tell from a wedding we have been to, and the more weddings we attend, the more likely it is to see something funny, unusual or downright weird.Well today’s guest bloggers have seen more than most. They are  The Players, a small but perfectly formed band from Yorkshire. In their own words they firmly believe that size doesn’t matter…

They specialise in small and intimate events; as a four-piece band can fit into venues where larger show bands couldn’t, or might risk overwhelming the audience. However, they are equally at home on larger stages! They have played everywhere from castles to marquees, and from hotels to rock clubs. Individually, they have played all over the UK, Europe and the USA.

Vogue Wedding Film – My Fair Lady Inspiration

All I want is a room somewhere, far away from the cold night air. with one enormous chair, wouldn’t it be loverly…..

We were absolutely delighted to be asked to arrange, style and be a part of a series of styled shoot with the very fabulous So Sassi bridal brand. We worked closely with the So Sassi team and a very talented collection of wedding suppliers to create 3 distinct scenes showing off the versatility and sheer beauty of these gorgeous gowns. Today we are showcasing the fabulous film by Vogue Wedding Films.

We were inspired by the fabulous So Sassi gowns, Bianca and India. Sculpted lines, bold silhouettes, gorgeous textures, they called for a theme that was classic and chic, with a strong leading lady. Our brilliant wedding photographers McAvoy Wedding Photography, and videographers, Vogue Wedding Films, were there to capture every moment and we couldn’t have done it without the help of Jessie Thomson, wedding planner. Special mention to hair stylist Anna White for her to die for “dos” in this scene & the fabulous vintage china & glassware by Lavender and Linen.

Today’s film has the theme of My Fair Lady. Our ugly duckling, Eliza Doolittle is transformed into a beautiful socialite with the help of Professor Henry Higgins. Effortlessly stylish, elegant & ever so decadent, with a largely monochromatic palette, this is a dream of a film…

Thankyou to the wonderful team of suppliers involved in this shoot. We could not have done it without you….
