Thoughts and Crosses

Wedding and event decor hire from Bridge of Don, Aberdeen

Thoughts and Crosses is a decor hire and signage business based at 100 Newburgh Drive in Bridge of Don, Aberdeen. It supplies decoration, stationery and styling for weddings and other celebrations, with coverage described as Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire. The company presents its service around a simple division of labour: clients select the pieces, and the team handles the setup.

Its work is organised into five areas: wedding decoration, wedding stationery, an audio guestbook, a photobooth, and celebrations and parties. The site also keeps a gallery of venues where its decor has been installed, which gives an idea of the settings it works in.

Decor, backdrops and table styling

The hire catalogue covers ceremony and reception elements rather than a single product line. Among the items named in the material are pillars for the aisle, a runner, chair drops, a wooden arch (available without flowers) and flowers for tables. Floral backdrops and table hire also appear as categories of work.

Setup is part of the service. Clients describe the team arriving before the wedding to install the pieces so the ceremony and reception are ready in advance, and the company frames its offer as handling the installation once the selection is made.

Personalised signage and stationery

Signage is a distinct strand of the business, described as bespoke. The stationery range listed on the site includes welcome signs, reception signs, order of the day signs, table plans, table numbers, favours and bridal party gifts. These sit alongside the decor hire and can be coordinated with it.

Audio guestbook and photobooth

Beyond decoration, the company hires out an audio guestbook and a photobooth. One client account mentions a photobooth and a phone box supplied for the evening portion of a wedding, with the resulting photographs described as capturing memories of the day.

Award recognition and client feedback

The site displays a Venue Décor Provider of the Year 2025 award, presented at the Top Tier Wedding Awards, with the award imagery credited to Zoe Rae Photography. Individual category images are credited to Chloe Burns Photography (venue decoration), TJ Christie (table hire), Sophie Alexandria Photography (floral backdrops) and By Rhea (personalised signage).
