You’ve got the venue, but how do you ensure the look and feel is really you?

Hire in a few props of course.

These lit-up signs by Vowed & Amazed scream faded Americana; reminiscent of the tarnished beacons of abandoned motels or gas stations you’re more likely to see littering the roadside of Route 66.

Perfect for adding a bit of edge to your wedding – imagine them propped against a scuffed-up wall for a hint of rock n' roll cool – they’d make for a striking photo backdrop; an altogether cooler alternative to the obligatory wedding photo booth.

Recalling the bulb-lit mirrors of old theatre dressing rooms, these giant letters would be a great talking point at your wedding. Hire your initials for £190, with a free “&”.

Alternatively, this large funfair style heart (hire £145), which comes emblazoned with you and your fiancé’s names, has a swinging 1950s rock n’ roll vibe. The lights come with a dimmer, so you can adjust the mood as the evening wears on.

With a hint of cabaret cool, this giant love sign (hire £250) would look striking by a grand staircase. Alternatively you can request additional letters to create a word of your choice. Or why not keep it simple with a few stars? Hire solo from £100, or as a duo for £280.

All of these dazzling motifs are the work of husband and wife set designers Vowed & Amazed, who specialise in building and hiring theatrical props for weddings, parties, stage and TV. They also offer bespoke wedding props built to order. Perfect for creative types eager to put their stamp on the big day.
