We are so excited to share this blog from Locate To Create who, like Touchays are a family run business who has a passion for weddings and events.
Holly the owner and creator of Locate To Create loves all things furniture. She likes nothing more than finding a unique and quirky item to help you to create your own personal wedding or event. Along with her props she also offers a full event styling package, oh and we should say she, and the whole family, are a joy to work with!
Catering and props are becoming increasingly more diverse but also linked. The modern couple has an appetite for unique, interesting and quirky menus, however long are the days of traditional seated affairs. The modern client desires the presentation of the food to match the creativity of the event and this is exactly how Locate to Create can make your special day extra unique working alongside Touchays.
Here at Locate to Create we offer both prop/furniture hire in addition to event styling. Our stock ranges from tables and chairs, seating areas and backdrops to even some weird and wonderful one offs. The majority of our stock is based on rustic, vintage and boho theming, all elements that can go hand in hand with wonderful food made by Touchays.
In recent years the migration from traditional three-course seated meals has resulted in the need for more elaborate ways of displaying and offering food and drink to guests.
Using props and pieces of furniture to display/offer food at a wedding is an amazing way of injecting fun and excitement into the day, whilst also allows for theming and styling to be cohesively planned. Of course, L2C still cater for traditional eating arraignments, with both round and wide trestles on offer, Touchays have plenty of real-estate to get creative and serve their delicious food.
Here at Locate to Create we adore working with Touchays, our imaginative and creative minds work so well together, constantly pushing each other to design new and interesting menus/props. An example of this is our handsome Dennis three in one backdrop. The versatile backdrop can hold glasses of bubbly, doughnuts or canapés. Clare has now worked with Dennis more times than I can think, but with each encounter, Clare gets more and more creative with her treats.
Covid has brought much change to the wedding industry, no more so than the way food and drink is consumed. The need to be seated whilst eating and the constant search to minimize human interaction has encouraged a new wave of minimal contact dinning, further placing emphasis on displaying/offering food and drink. Dennis again is the perfect backdrop for doing so, allowing for efficient, clean and stylish food or drink serving whilst also allowing for dynamic venue styling, potentially screening off areas.
To experience the full creative collaboration of both Locate to Create and Touchays, then the L2C styling packages might be what is needed. With a variety of options available, the team at L2C can prepare a mood-board incorporating not only cohesive venue styling, but also innovative ways to present and offer Touchays simply stunning food.
