Wedding Fete Ideas
Are you planning a wedding fete? Do you want a touch of the biohemian This is our ultimate package for those who want a real vintage fete at their wedding. picture this: all your guests turning up at you venue to see bunting fluttering in the breeze and a "wedding fete" waiting for them to play on. As guests approach your caterer would offer them a glass of Pimm’s and we would offer them a stick of candyfloss or a bag of popcorn to eat whilst all the other guests arrive. They can then take their pick of stalls to play on. The stalls are popular with all ages and their appeal is timeless.
We can also supply hay bales for your guests to sit on complete with covers so they don’t ruin their best dress/suit! We can create a perfect fete feel anywhere with our bunting stands, we also have a massive selection of bunting in a range of colours to suit any colour schemes you might have.
We would also supply a few of our garden games such as giant connect 4, Giant Jenga, quoits, noughts and crosses and our huge tug of war rope which would make for a great group shot!
Whilst the wedding breakfast takes place we would change everything over ready for evening guests perhaps putting up festoon lighting. We also have a photobooth which will match all our other items which we can setup in the evening for you for all you guests to play with. This can come in a number of themes or be adapted to suit your day best.
As an extra special treat for guests we could set up a couple of our rustic stalls filled with goodies. Choose from any of the following: Pick and mix stall, chocolate fountains, popcorn stall, chocolate heaven stall or our cheese stall with a range of local Sussex cheeses.
