The Daughters Wedding

Finally, 3 months later, since I started the Business I'm back at the Blog. All is going extremely well, considering behind the scenes I have entertained 10 guests for Christmas and then my daughters wedding was last Friday.  Weddings these days, have now become a 3 day affair, so getting all the preparations ready for the big day, dress fittings, outfit shopping and doing the design and printing work, the business is still getting in business.  I enjoyed doing the wedding as it is a perfect way to showcase what can be achieved with the  printed ribbon.  The image on the left  is a display I arranged for the wedding fair in Enniskerry,http://www.summerhillhousehotel.com/wedding-venues-wicklow.htm the ribbons on the church Service booklets are printed in silver saying 'to have and to hold, the couples name and wedding date'  these just help to personalise the wedding as every Bride and Groom wants something unique.  The ribbon was used to tie tissues into bundles for the wedding guests, used to decorate the wedding tables and tie up some of the decorations in the venue. The overall effect was stunning and blended in with the wedding theme picking up the colours in the Bridemaid's dresses and Bride's bouquet.
 The ribbons added a touch of glamour in the presenting of the products while enriching the whole wedding affair. Having experience in the printing business I designed and printed the service sheets, invitations, table plans and the wedding favours.
The table plans where luggage labels tied using matching (unprinted) satin ribbon and printed stickers showing the names of the wedding guests.
When the guests where seated at the table they each received a wedding favour which consisted of a scratch card stuck onto gold printed card inside a silver envelope sealed with custom made stickers saying for richer or poorer and a space for a coin, to scratch the card with. This went down a treat with the guests particularly the ones who won a few bob on them..                                                                                         The wedding venue was absolutely superb, on arrival Drinks reception drinks where in the cellar bar of     Fallon and Byrne, based in Dublin's city centre.  They specialise in Tapas Food, so large dishes of food where brought out to each table and you just helped yourself to whatever you fancied. Sea Bass, Lamb, Beef kebabs, humous, salads, cold meats, cheeses, a feast fit for a King!  http://www.fallonandbyrne.com/section/133
