Take 10, Take 100, Take 1000

One experience that I truly enjoyed was the wedding show Mr. Flamingo and I took part in. I must admit it’s hard work being in front of a camera. Not only do you have to talk as though there is no camera around, but there are many many takes.
Can’t forget the touch ups.
The filming of the show was done in three parts. The first was an interview with Mr. Flamingo and I where we had to explain our theme and the issues we’d encountered throughout planning. We had several issues, but they took care of the following for us:
- Figured out how to display our escort cards
- Hid the neighbouring building (visible when we were on the terrace)
- Figured out how to display our lamps and made us a photography corner
- Hid the wall behind the head table (where the dividing panels of the hall were usually stored)
The second part of the taping consisted of a DIY project with the host. I did this 2 days before the wedding and I had no idea what was going on. Once I got there I was so happy. We worked on the display for our escort cards.
The third part is was the big reveal the day of the wedding. That was when we actually got the chance to see what awesome work they’d done. And awesome it was.
Here is a sneak peek:
Behind the head table
The escort card display (6 foot Manzanita tree in a mirrored box)
with REAL chandelier swags (and it’s mine! Hurray for gifts)
The exterior photography corner
Camouflaging neighbouring company
You saw right, that is the exact chandelier from our invitations. I was blown away when I saw that…talk about carrying the chandelier theme throughout the wedding. Don’t ask me how they did that, they never asked me for the artwork. I guess I will find out when I see the show.
I learned that our show will be the season premiere of their 4th season. I don’t know yet when it will air, but once it does I promise I will try my best to upload it to the internet!

Wow, that is incredible! I would love to see it when it comes out.
Wonderful!! Can’t wait to see the premiere!
can’t wait to see the show! How fun!
That’s awesome to be the premiere show. You must get it uploaded. As for the chandelier wall treatments, maybe they had them custom-made from http://www.whatisblik.com/.
How fun! I love what they did with all of the chandeliers!
Quick question: Do you think it added extra chaos to your day? Or did it relieve some tension to have someone else looking out for you?
I love what they did with the chandeliers, that looks so cool!
@Miss Pomegranate:
I would say it was no tension at all. I was surprised, plus it was actually fun. I feel like I was a dork talking to the camera but maybe thats just me and come editing ill be like ive been doing it all my life.
The things they did wasnt something I would of paid for myself… budget didnt allow it. So they made my wedding better and pretty and I didnt need to dish out the money. So thats a great feeling.
I hope you put it on You Tube!
I love your finger waves….sooo pretty!
Nice, that’s pretty cool to be the season’s première, I can’t wait to see it.
[...] overall feel and look that I wanted for our reception site was easy: vintage and glam. The wedding show people did a great job of adding some extra glamour elements to the decor, but the hard work paid [...]
