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:

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!
