A Spooky London Wedding At The Asylum Chapel

Well Halloween may have been and gone for another year but we couldn’t help share the superbly styled wedding shoot of “Jack and Sally” as featured on the fabulous Green Wedding Shoes blog. Getting involved in these projects is always a dream come true because our light up letters are showcased in the most creative ways and I think you’ll agree, this was one spook-tacular showpiece!

So many designers, creatives, suppliers and other talented peops came together at the Asylum Chapel in East London to collaborate on this Halloween special, coinciding with the 25th anniversary of Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas. With amazing photography from Chloe Lee Photography and design and planning by Kayleigh Keen and Valentina from The Stars Inside, this was one wedding we would have killed to be a guest at…mwah-ha-ha-ha.

But that’s enough from us, I think these images speak for themselves, trick or treat…if you dare! For more images don’t forget to hop on over to Green Wedding Shoes for the full lowdown. All images below are courtesy of Chloe Lee Photography.

Celebrating Love: Wilton’s Music Hall

Image: Lisa Jane Photography

One of the best things about our job is getting to visit some of London’s most iconic and distinguished venues. Places we would never normally explore. Last year we had the wonderful opportunity to supply our light up letters at Wilton’s Music Hall for a wedding which felt like a little bit of a dream come true.

It really takes your breath away as you walk in. You can almost hear the Music Hall days ringing in your ears with such a sense of history. At the same time it feels so understated, tucked away in East London.

We provided our light up letters A & T for the bride and groom Annemarie and Tom (ironically our own initials too!) and also our beautiful 4ft red loveheart.

This was initially placed upstairs in a bar area and then was moved down on to the stage for the evening entertainment provided by Chaz and Dave. We would have loved to stay and party! The photos clearly show it was an amazing evening (thank you so much to Lisa Jane Photography for capturing the special occasion and letting us use the stunning images).

And here’s a quick history of Wilton’s Music Hall. Situated in the east end of London, it was originally 5 houses built in the 1690s and combined by John Wilton in the 1950s. Over the years it has suffered bombing and dereliction. Eventually it became popular with artists for video shoots, Frankie Goes to Hollywood’s Relax being one. When so many of London’s status buildings are being replaced by modern flats, I’m so glad this still survives.

In 2013 the Heritage Lottery Fund and other donors raised the money to make the building structurally sound and the project was completed in 2015.

If you get the chance to visit Wilton’s Music Hall you really must, this hidden gem in East London is totally amazing. Thank you so much again to Lisa Jane Photography for capturing the images so beautifully.
