Not a time of year that jumps to mind when the word Wedding is mentioned, but what better time of year for a family celebration is there? Basingstoke wedding professionals have some ideas for your festive wedding…

Christmas Themed Wedding Flowers

Paula who creates some wonderful wedding flower arrangements all year round, suggests that a perfect winter bouquet would have beautiful red grandprix roses, hypericum berries and skimmia. For her, Christmas time has the most beautiful flowers! If red isn’t your thing, then how about lime green orchids with black baccara roses for a striking bouquet combination.

Gemma the wedding stationer uses for her Christmas invites and table settings, gold and silver ribbons, she has also been busy making bauble shaped place cards. She suggests naming tables after Christmas themes and using these images on table plans. Another great tip from her that also saves money, is to send your Save the date cards combined with Christmas cards!

Christmas Wedding Bouquet

Wine Devine recommends the Christmas tipple of Rubis.  Its is an indulgent blend of fortified red with a premium chocolate flavour. You can drink as a liqueur or as a dessert wine with chocolate puddings or drizzled over ice cream!

Paul Smith is playing hard over Christmas, he is performing his regular slots at Tylney Hall Hotel on Christmas Day and Boxing day with singer joining him to perform some Christmas Carols.  His Christmas Weddings will have him playing the Piano, the saxophone and clarinet!  Performing a huge range of work from Artie Shaw to Michael Bublé, a huge range of gentle ballads, pop or full on swing improvisations.

And lastly, what can be more festive than snow at Christmas? In Hampshire at the moment metcheck.comp are saying there is a 10 percent chance of snow on Christmas Day so you never know!

Passionate about Pampering

Their work has taken them all over the South East although based in Basingstoke, providing Pamper Days for Hen Parties, Demonstrations, Lectures and Corporate Events such as Company In House Stress Buster Days.  Closer to home of course they offer those invaluable 1-1 Holistic Treatments-an opportunity to relax, de-stress and re-balance energy. Helping people to feel good and look good is what Gail and Billie are all abot!

They both feel that taking time out for yourself, either from work or home life (or both!) is important. “Taking care of ME” does not seem to be very high on peoples’ list of priorities in today’s hectic lifestyle-but getting that all important work/life balance is vital to your overall sense of well being.  A regular Pamper might just help to tip the balance in your favour-make life a little easier and will definitely help to keep you looking younger and feeling great! we use amazing  Arbonne Swiss Botanical Skincare and Essential Oils.

Billie and Gail feel a real sense of achievement when they have pampered a group of ladies, de-stressed a workforce or even just helped one person to relax!  Billie says “I love going to our Pamper Parties! the ladies are always up beat, friendly and just waiting to be pampered, catch up with friends, have glass of wine or a cuppa and generally enjoy a chilled out evening or  afternoon! Sometimes we are there to get the Hen Party Ladies ready for their Big Night Out…..sometimes we are the night out for the ladies! We offer something for everyone and work closely with all sorts of Party People to be able to bring our clients something a little out of the ordinary”

In addition to the Pamper Parties, Gail and Billie work closely with nail technicians and hairdressers so we can pamper you on your big day too…..have a “back facial” before the day if you are wearing a backless/off the shoulders dress or even get a course of Facial treatments going so that your skin glows on your wedding day!

Feel free to call us to discuss your requirements-we are always very happy to tailor make a Pamper Event for you and your friends or to supply gift vouchers as thank you presents!
