If you’ve never planned an event before, planning a whole wedding can feel like a LOT. Dress? Tick, guest list? Tick. Cool stuff that people will talk about forever? OH FFS! The lists out there are endless and can feel like a strain to think up something alternative and fun...and are they as cool as you? There are suppliers out there that not only add special finishing touches, with some serious Un-Wedding vibes, they will still reflect you as a couple and the experience you want your guests to have. Here are some of the Book of Love directory suppliers that are simply showstopping.

As I hope you have realised by now, the Un-Wedding Book of Love directory was created to big up the dreamers, creators & downright fantastic wedding suppliers. Here I’m sharing some of the OGs and some you may not have heard of - to sprinkle some magic on your plans. So who are these suppliers that can help you take your big day up a notch?

OK - LET’S KICK OFF WITH THE DOWNRIGHT FANTASTIC!

How about a fabulous streamer backdrop for your ceremony or wedding reception? Feast your eyes on Streamadelica’s glittery, streamer glory here! They sprinkle their magic at weddings across the UK, they’ve graced many an Un-Wedding Show wall/ceiling/stand/entrance! They can even courier your DIY streamer backdrop for you to install yourself!

Whether you’re seeking a bespoke arch for your ceremony backdrop or a ceiling full of streamers to set the scene in your main reception space, these incredible decorations will create memories that last a lifetime. These fabulous creations are reusable, weatherproof & zero waste.

TWO OF THE BIG-TICKET ITEMS - BOOZE & MUSIC.

There is a way to combine them and it’s a true showstopper. If you have room for a sequin DJ booth (MAKE ROOM!!) The Hush Club is a DJ booth trailer with a bar in. The small but perfectly formed bar is the punchy sidekick to The Hush Club package. Served from the rear of the DJ booth trailer while the tunes play from the front. Their menu offers a choice of premium classic cocktails on tap, ice cold lager, chilled Prosecco and customisable non-alcoholic options. They have Espresso Martinis. ON TAP.

Get over to their Insta @thehushclubdisco to check them out and their website to have a look at their selection of sequin trailers to hire. And if you’re wondering what kind of tunes they spin – they have a mixcloud so you can listen HERE!

If you want to see them in action get your ticket to The Un-Wedding Show at Shoreditch Studios in London 28/29 October!

SOMETHING A BIT DIFFERENT FOR DESSERT

Steph at Baked By Steph is obsessed with all things baked. She’s based in East London but non-Londoners listen up – they deliver all across the UK. They can create truly alternative gifts for your wedding favours and make baked personalised masterpieces. And to help with that extra showstopping finishing touch to wedding special day, they can source ribbons to match your wedding colour scheme and provide fully custom packaging for all your wedding treats for a bespoke experience from start to finish.

This review says it all: The cookies were the real stars of the wedding. I've had more compliments on our personalised cookies than the wedding itself, we were just amazed by the detail and finishing touches. The team went above and beyond to make the wedding that little bit more special!

FLOWER POWER

The Un-Wedding Book of Love babe Eloïse at GARAGE FLORALS really puts the show in showstopping. She creates the most incredible Asymmetric floral archways, aisle flowers and of course buttonholes & the most sumptuous, beautiful, blousy & bountiful bouquets. In addition to the pure gorgeousness and banging talent – Eloïse has an eco-conscious and seasonable floral working style. She focuses on British, locally sourced flowers and recyclable materials. We can’t recommend her highly enough – she covers London and Surrey – get in touch and talk to her. In her own words “I craft bespoke and exciting floral arrangements, using non-toxic, environmentally friendly mechanics, and promoting beautiful floral artistry at the same time. I made Garage Florals to create a safe, non-judgemental space where everyone is accepted. I want to create something for you, but with you too… together”. What’s not to love, right? 

VOWED & AMAZED

Who doesn’t love giant light up initials at a wedding. Vowed & Amazed cover this. BUT the list of other props they hire is INCREDIBLE. Huge neon rainbow? Yes please. Massive Mirror Balls? We’ll take 10. Our Un-Wedding show regular is their Til’ Death Do Us Party sign is an absolute showstopper. Head on over to their website to see the full list of props to hire for your non-traditional neon-filled wedding. Now...to hire a full size cherry blossom tree or not to hire? That is the question.

Hopefully you’ve found some inspiration for your Un-Wedding - every one of them is a dream to work with (just a brief peek at the smashing testimonials and google reviews tells you that) and we know they’ll help you with adding the wow-factor to your big day - whatever your style is.
