Bride Of The Year Samantha Moaby and her finance Paul Webb meet Katie Bizley, of Smiles Party World. Ref: 76871-62OUR Bride Of The Year couple will be showered with hearts at their wedding reception.

Samantha Moaby and Paul Webb's wedding reception will be decorated with balloons from Smiles Party World Decorating Service.

And shop owner John Phillips has some great ideas to make sure the guests are dazzled.

The shop, based in Cheney Manor, will be giving the couple £400 worth of pink and cream balloons.

Mr Phillips, 55, has been working with balloon design for four years.

He said: "It's such a fun trade."

His enthusiasm means Samantha and Paul, both 32, of Archer Close, Kingsdown, will not be disappointed with the design.

He said: "We're going to do four columns, which are very attractive."

Two of the columns will make an arch at the entrance to the reception room at the Goddard Arms Hotel and two next to the stage.

Mr Phillips said: "What is really special is the columns at the stage will have clear balloons on the top.

"They are going to be filled with small pink and cream hearts, filled with helium.

"During the course of the night they will slowly rain down from the ceiling."

He thinks they will be released when the couple have their first dance.

Samantha was delighted with the designs Mr Phillips has come up with.

She said: "It was great, I didn't even know you could get balloons like this.

"John has got lots of brilliant ideas and he was really excited about doing it all."
