Your Manchester Wedding: BOYGIRLBOY Feature

We are very proud to have been featured in the Venue Styling section of Your Manchester Wedding Magazine this month. The article includes photographs of our table stationery, seating plans and signature frames as well as some tips and advice on personalising your big day that I have reproduced below. Our thanks to the magazine for including us so prominently and in our home town too. It was the best Christmas present we could have asked for! 

On planning the style of your day:

Think carefully about the style and feel of your wedding and take cues from visual elements such as the era of the venue, your dress and the colours of your blooms and bridesmaids' attire. Try not to be too rigid though. It's more subtle, and a lot easier, to have all the little details complement the style of your day than have everything match exactly.

On choosing your table stationery and dining room decor:

• Trust your instincts and don't let anyone tell you what you 'ought' to like.
• Shop around as costs can vary considerably and don't be afraid to ask for samples.
• Visit wedding fairs - a lot are free or have minimal entry cost. You can talk to suppliers face-to-face, collect ideas and get some fabulous discounts.
• Table stationery and seating plans tend to be one of the last considerations. Although final guest numbers for your wedding aren't certain until the big day approaches, you can still decide on the look and feel of your table designs in advance and get estimates.

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
