Occasions

Christening and baptism decorations

A christening usually moves from a church to a hall or a house, and the styling belongs in the second half. Somewhere for the family photograph, and a table that looks like an occasion.

01

Quiet, rather than loud

Ivory, sage, blush, soft gold. Christening styling tends to work best when it is restrained, because the day is not really about the decoration.

One backdrop with the child's name across it does more than a room full of colour, and it gives the family somewhere obvious to gather for a photograph.

02

The name, and the table

Light up letters spelling the child's name are the piece most people ask for. They photograph well and they travel between the two parts of the day.

The cake table is the other one worth doing. It is where guests queue, which means it is in the background of most of the photographs whether you planned that or not.

Questions

Asked often

Do you style the church as well as the reception?

Churches usually have their own rules about what can go in, so styling normally goes in the hall or the house afterwards. Tell us the church and we will ask them.

Can you spell the child's name in light up letters?

Yes, subject to the letters being free on your date. Send us the name and the date and we will confirm.

What colours work best for a christening?

Ivory, soft gold, sage and blush photograph well indoors and suit the day. Strong colours can be done, they just read louder than most families want.

Do you cover christenings outside Bedford?

Yes. Milton Keynes, St Neots, Luton and Hitchin as well, plus the smaller towns around them.

Was a great service. Would highly recommend. With beautiful attention to detail. Really beautiful balloons. And no hassle at all. Thanks so much.

A photograph of the space and a rough idea of the colours is plenty to start. We will come back with what will work in it.
