When you get Married it's easy to put entertainment to the bottom of your to-do list but it's really important to think about music for your Wedding as it can make such a huge difference to the atmosphere. Here's a few ideas for vintage style musical entertainment in the Bristol area.

We mentioned Shellac Sound recently and we still heart them big style for their selection of records from the 20s to 40s played on vintage grammaphones. It creates an amazing retro feel for a vintage style wedding.

                                          

If live music is more you thing but you still want a vintage vibe, then The Tender Trap could be right up your street. They are a female trio who play jazz and blues and sing in gorgeous three part harmonies. They specialise in music from the 40s to 70 and promise to bring "vintage chic" to your Wedding. Take a look at their website for some videos of them playing.

If you are looking for a glee club feel then perhaps H Club could suit you. They are a group of experienced male singers who peform a cappella (think the Warblers). They are all members of the Great Western Chorus and all of their fees go towards keeping the Chorus, which is a registered charity, running. They even play air trumpet and are guaranteed to bring a smile to your guest's faces.

                                    

The lovely Kirsten Butler, aka the Little Wedding Helper held a brilliant launch evening at the Riverstation on Wednesday and the Bristol Wedding Industry were out in force to support her.

                                                      

The Little Wedding Helper is a Bristol based Wedding styling service and Kirsten is an expert at inspiring Brides and transforming a blank canvas such as a marquee or village hall into a spectacular venue. We are delighted to be featuring an article on Wedding style from Kirsten on Bristol Wedding News soon. Kirsten had beautifully decorated the Riverstation with gorgeous touches, such as vintage suitcases, pretty pastel bunting and stunning pink flowers supplied by Emma Norton Wedding Flowers.

                                                   

                                                    

There was a fantastic ambiance created by "Grammaphone DJs" Shellac Sound who offer a really original service by playing a selection of  music from the 20s, 20s and 40s on original 78s. This would be perfect for a vintage themed wedding and would make excellent background music during drinks or dinner.

                                           

Guests at the launch were spoilt for choice with delicious food with canapes provided by the Riverstation including to die for Pork Belly as well as pretty cupcakes with sparkly icing from Cheeky Cupcakes and absolutely delicious cakes and truffles from Chocolate Delores, who we will be featuring in full next week.

                                                        

Bristol Wedding Photographer Martin Pemberton was also on hand with his camera and set up a fantastic photo booth with a range of great props from tiaras to feather boas, hats and blackboards to write little messages on. This was in huge demand all night and would be a great fun entertainment idea for any Wedding.

If you are getting married and need some help with a theme or styling your venues, then we wholeheartedly recommend giving Kirsten a call. She even promises hot chocolate for her consultations and you can't say better than that. Well done Kirsten and the Riverstation for a fantastic evening.
