From sit-on moons to whole wooden chapels: why you need alternative wedding designers Into The Wild style

Remember the gorgeous big pink moon that greeted you as you entered 2019’s show, and the huge totems that flanked our catwalk? They were made by Wild and Wonder, who’ve come together with the inimitable Joey from The Wild Fox - who created the insane florals that surrounded said moon and made us all swoon - to become Into The Wild Style. If you’re looking for streets-ahead style, mind-blowing innovation, the answer “no” to never be said in answer to a question starting “I’ve had an idea - can we…?” and a bloody riotous giggle to keep you out of wedding planning stress - these gals are for you, no question. They’re the kind of gals who build a chapel for their own wedding. A whole wooden chapel, to go inside the venue. No biggy.
