All the Fun of the Fair

I don't know anyone who doesn't like a funfair, and what a fantastic theme for an informal wedding!  If you are planning a larger wedding, there are some companies that offer a whole fairground for hire, or just one or two rides or stalls.  For lower budgets and smaller parties, traditional games like hoopla, a coconut shy, hook a duck and tin can alley are easy to set up.  And of course you need the traditional refreshments, so a burger stand, hotdogs, fries, toffee apples and candy floss are the order of the day.  What I love about this theme are the bright colours and lights, so go mad with the red, blue and yellow.

Oh I do like to be beside the seaside...

If I look out of my bedroom window, through the rooftops and trees I can see the North Sea, just! I love living on the coast and have done so in a number of places, I love the traditional seaside experience with deck chairs, prom, Punch and Judy and Mr Whippy. I didn't have a seaside wedding but I think this is a great wedding theme, colourful, fun and nostalgic.

For a more subtle beach look, using light blues to tie everything together looks very fresh and pretty.
