Hey everyone... my H2B is a firefighter so i want to encorporate this into our day. Not really sure where to go with it tho!!!!!

He'll be wearing his undress and *maybe* arriving in a vintage fire engine (friends dad has a RR phantom convertable so he wants to arrive in that) and other than that i cant think of anything!!!!

Maybe thought of cutting the cake with an axe... what do you think??

Great theme!

Heres some ideas for you:

Colour scheme: red, orange, yellow
Table centrepieces: plastic fire fighter helmets, with the top cut off and a floral arrangement placed inside them
Favours: mini fire engines
Stationery: incorporate a small fire engine into the design or have them made/make them on red card
Cake topper: personalised one of you and h2b in full uniform
Table names: after things like station, engine, blaze etc



Although this is an American site, it has a few ideas

I also found this, so there are things about:

Hi,

My H2B is also a firefighter and we are incorperating this theme into the wedding. I have a vintage fire engine, fire engine favour boxes for the children, and also a fire engine wedding cake.

It's going to be cool as not many know about this.

My ex husband is a D Officer, are you having a gaurd of honour?
Years ago one of his mates had some sort of fire extinquisher cocktail fountain, looked amazing. But no idea where it came from sad.gif
They also had first dance to fireman Sam! I know that won't appeal to all, but actually it was great!

Fab theme biggrin.gif My dad is a retired fire fighter. Have you thought about 'Fire Brigade' by The Move as a first dance? Try this link all you have to do to hear it is press play on the screen and make sure the volume is up on the pc laugh.gif

Red and silver might be good as colours and if your h2b wants to arrive in the car, you could maybe arrive in the fire engine.

Hello, just seen this reply and this is the cake i've got i found it ages ago and my cake maker is doing it for me (except the little girl as we haven't got kids yet). How cool is that cake? I've also got a lovely vintage fire engine (see picture) my H2B's grandad drove this when he was in the service and it's been beautifully restored.
