The Winner Takes It All

Double congratulations to the new Mr and Mrs Wood. Bride Laura won the competition we participated in in last August's edition of Wedding Ideas Magazine. The prize was to have their entire table stationery suite custom made by BOYGIRLBOY and here are some of the many lovely photographs she has shared with us taken by photographer Nicky Chadwick.

The couple chose important years in their lives with which to name their tables cleverly choosing to collage photographs from those years on their table markers. Above you can see the front and reverse views of the years the couple were born and below, the year they got married - no prizes for guessing that that was the marker for the top table. We also created complementary menus and place cards and menus for the occasion.

Laura's prize also included matching framed table plan and guestbook frame, seen below in elegant ivory with a hand-painted reverse ivory profile.

                                                                       

                           As a special touch, my dragonfly design which featured on Laura's table stationery was also incorporated into the design of her cake as well. Below is a photograph of the magnificent 4-tier affair made by Julia at Freya's Fancies who were also a participant in the competition.

Laura said: "Thank you so much for the first class service which you have provided throughout. From winning the prize to delivery of the products you have been brilliant...I was so pleased with the final result when I received the products the day before the wedding. It was so wonderful to see everything, just as I had imagined it...the products were perfect and really made our wedding feel unique and special. It is so lovely that we will be able to keep the signing frame and table plan in their frames forever so that we can look back in the years to come and remember our wedding day. Our guests really loved the idea [of the personalised table name cards]and we were able to...include photographs of those who couldn't be with us so that they could be remembered on our special day. 

Your service has been amazing, faultless and I could not have wished for anything more. You really listened to my ideas and brought them to life for our wedding day. I would highly recommend you to anyone without a doubt."

I thank you both for these kind words and wish you every success and happiness in your future lives together.

A Letter From Mr & Mrs Fricker

I received a lovely e-mail from one of our lovely May brides and her new husband and I thought I'd post it in it's entirety because - well frankly - it says lots of lovely things about us and it also contains the benefit of their experience having actually just got married. I only got hitched five years ago but I find daily that this whole business of weddings and everything that comes with them have moved on a staggering amount since then so it's always refreshing to have a contemporary view. Here's what she had to say along with some photographs she included with her message:

"Every bride wants her wedding to never end. Having a BOYGIRLBOY frame hanging proudly in our hallway, with messages of love and congratulations from our closest friends and family keeps the memories of our happiest day at the forefront of our minds. As a bride to be, you have countless tasks and decisions to make, which photographer will capture the day usually being the hardest decision of all and it was with that in mind that I chose our BOYGIRLBOY signature frame, how can we capture our day and make it last forever? Of course guest books are lovely, but what do you do with them once the day is over? 

From our first conversation I knew Jennie was going to deliver fantastic service and an outstanding product. Whilst wedding planning you have countless tasks and to do lists. So time consuming and absorbing, you often get stressed having to "chase" people. Jennie so efficiently developed the product through simple emails and mood boards and when the frame was delivered (well before the due date, hugely reassuring) we were not disappointed. As well as looking great, the frame oozes quality, the wood, mount and finish are superb. 

Our signature frame generated excitement and curiosity, we have messages from grandparents to 5 year old nephews and all those in between, absolutely priceless!! 

No wedding related decision is easy but if you want high quality products and fantastic service for the happiest day of your life - you won't be disappointed.

Happy wedding planning! 

Lynsey and Martin Fricker
