A glitter wedding charity auction!
Fancy winning a sparkly festival hat and matching drum from this glitter wedding shoot?
Nathalie from Buttercup Bus told us:
“The glitter bug concept was originally created by Hannah at Oh Snap UK. Originally Buttercup Bus and Hannah were paving the way for a business partnership. The challenges of 2020 sadly meant that this could not happen – but it was with her blessing that we continued with the idea. In acknowledgment of our friend’s idea, Buttercup Bus wanted to raise money for a charity that would provide meaningful and positive kudos, rather than just a name check. We have decided to do this by raffling one of the festival props made by Buttercup Bus in the shoot – the festival sequin hat and matching drum.”
How exciting! You can find the auction details here!
