Mirror balls are an absolute must for the success of contemporary love parties. They will spark up your day with positive energy for the night’s entertainment and sexy looks, may it be a dancing floor or a customized bar service.
As the wedding day has its stages from vows to cutting the cake. Your wedding cake shall be a grand statement of a sweet moment and your vows shall follow the story of the event. You can design your wedding dress with soft sequins and a flawless mermaid-style bottom that perfectly matches any groom’s black tie appearance. Once the dinner begins, the less official part of the wedding opens. It is a moment of makeover. A sexy jumpsuit for the bride and a change of hairstyle into rich “Hollywood” style curls is our proposal. Play around with your jewelry and do not avoid shiny rocks!
