Please Find Your Place

I've discovered in the last month or so that we are a business that people struggle to categorise. Everything in the wedding industry seems to fall under a definitive heading: catering, dress, honeymoon, venue, stag/hen night, flowers, stationery, photography etc. For various events and publications so far I have found that I have to make a choice, pick a label if you like that captures the essence of what we're about. The closest bracket seems to be 'stationery', closely followed by 'venue decoration' since both are radically different categories in themselves, it would appear that we rather fall down the cracks. We are not a stationer - although we can provide matching items of stationery to accompany our seating plans if required. I have received inquiries about providing the additional service of place cards, menus and table names and numbers which we are more than happy to do. We do not provide venue decoration - although our framed seating plans do make an elegant and impressive introduction to the entrance of any banqueting hall.

I see us as being in the business of preserving memories. Your wedding day is only a reality for a maximum of 24 hours and, thereafter, it is committed to memory forever and the best way to remember it is through the people who were there celebrating alongside you, through photographs, guestbooks and keepsakes. 

If you are planning a formal dinner, the seating plan is something that you will personally put an exorbitant amount of time and effort into. It is a social minefield that causes stress and terrible arguments. Other than the final invitation list itself, it is the only part of a wedding that involves some serious political diplomacy. But when it's done and the pieces finally fall into place, you can sit back and look that this sea of dining harmony that you have created in the knowledge that you have arranged the perfect wedding breakfast. 

It's amazing then how many seating plans then just get thrown away or end up battered and forgotten in attics and cupboards when the celebrations are over. BOYGIRLBOY will help you to preserve all of this hard work in a beautiful bespoke frame that you can treasure forever. With our help you can make something practical into a lovely keepsake that can become a serious talking point on the wall of your home. And with our matching guestbook signature frames you can showcase some of your beautiful photography and record the sentiments and messages of your guests on the day of your wedding.

I don't mind at all that we are hard to define or slot into a category. We are unique and proud of the fact that we specialise in creating something meaningful and enduring that will last for years after the music has stopped and the champagne bottles emptied. A bit like marriage...
