Making a White Wedding

George Watts: With all about making your dreams become a reality, but there’s one thing even we can’t control, and that’s the weather until now; now we have the power to really turn your fairy tale into reality. Now we go any further, I have to ask you how you came up with the idea; now I believe there was a kitchen table involved. Darcy Crownshaw: Well, the kitchen table came later and this space for a company, only that company was asked to supply snow; and it was just a small order, but it wasn’t really worthy after involved, and so they allowed me to supply the snow in my own time, as long as it’s been a part of work. And 25 years later, we’re here, the largest snow company in the world, we’re locked it as in 20 countries now. A kitchen table is basically where I started my business when I left my fulltime job, and when working for snow in 1982, and everything was done on the kitchen table; we didn’t have a computer over less were handwritten, we used to paddle the samples of snow on the kitchen table. And in my first year, after leaving a very nice and well-paid job, I actually turned over 980 Pounds, it wasn’t much evening 1982. George Watts: So you’ve told me did about some of the Hollywood living TV plot on Darcy Crownshaw: We started snowing 1982, but our first snow for movie was in 1984 for a film called Company of Wolves, and in the last 10 years, I would think that you see a film made in the last 10 years, that has snow in it, then there’s probably a 90% chance that it’s snow business snow, or snow business upliftment or snow business snow upliftment and technicians George Watts: Okay Darcy, time for some snow magic, what exactly are you going to show us today? Darcy Crownshaw: Well, we’ve put 168 types of snow, which is more types of snow in the Eskimo type of words for; I’m not going to show them all, I’m just going to show you a few of relevant weddings and the kind of locations of weddings are held at, off we go. George Watts: Okay, Martin; now this looks like a fire hydrant, but it’s actually snow that’s pouring out there, isn’t that? Martin: Yes, it’s right yet George Watts: And see, this causes kind of crazy it builds like snow thick but what is that thing coming out of here? Martin: What we’ve got, we’ve got paper products called snow salt and water, on the outside to bond it together, make sure it doesn’t blow away George Watts: And I kind of guess when you’re sort of you’re putting snow on the field, it’s an, you know, and snowing up the space, you know, you must get some pretty strange reactions Martin: Yeah, people love it, it tends 2 people up on a rainy day, and it’s something different, they don’t see a lot of it in England George Watts: Oh, wow; and you see now it really does feel alike; it’s snowing Darcy Crownshaw: Although the falling snow, we don’t use this, we got faster machines falling snow which I’m going to show you in a minute. Now this is really our snow dressing materials, its’ so durable, and we pop this into the air and we’re high winds it will blow everywhere. With lots of this snow in any color, so if you want the pink for example, we’ll do a pink wedding for you. George Watts: Okay Darcy, it’s the moment I’ve been waiting for, the crème de la crème, it’s time for the snow scene; now this cheeky bit of a coup man here in front of me, I believe it’s, how will it happen? Darcy Crownshaw: This is called snow falls, and this is what we do with the falling snow; what a falling snow is made of materials, it’s almost like making bubble bath, so it can get in your eyes, it can really take, it doesn’t hurt, and it disappears by itself so there’s no clear up; so you can kind of, you can have laid snow and falling snow. Well you’ve got a really, really nervous back there, you could just have falling snow, and by itself it’s quite magical; and it’s worth by a lot trickery as cat wizard would have said, literally turn on the fire, see that in the air, and then a click, this is the snow; and we can make the snow larger or smaller just by turning the knob. George Watts: Now this must be absolutely fantastic for a wedding, I mean, this is amazing; this is fantastic; we’ve got real snow, but it’s like real snow, it’s amazing. Now this must be absolutely perfect for a wedding, the bride and groom have just got married; they’re just leaving the church and then welcome this absolutely spectacular scene of romance Darcy Crownshaw: You said it George Watts: Wow, it’s really, really something amazing, and it looks real Darcy Crownshaw: It falls nice and slowly, and best of all it’s just no clear up and it’s very, very easy; you simply turn up, plug it in and wave machine around, you got snow everywhere. We normally try and guide people towards falling snow because there is a lot lesser or a lot less work, a lot less stress and a lot better value for money in reality.
