Very cute custom! If I had thought of it, I could have done something similar for my brother's wedding. except the girl he married is from mexico, so it would be a little harder, because the skin on her neck wouldn't be the right color.
Anyway, nice job!

You could have used the Mediterranean figures set 7981 for the skin differences.
  Forget about all of the other stuff,....all we need is the reintroduction of the 3526 Fire Engine!

On the ethnicity issue, I'm mostly disturbed that there is only one African in the entire Africa theme...   ???

As for the wedding theme, for my brothers wedding last summer, I needed to do some quick customizing to represent my non-Caucasian sister-in-law (and to represent the tattoos!  ;D)



 very nice customs  :)9   i've never seen a bride with tatoos  :lol: :lol: :lol: very good  :)

I love the wedding theme, but also wish there were more guests etc.
We made our own bridesmaids using this lady
30 14 1570 - Princess, captured by dragon
With different styles of hair I think she fits in well as a bridesmaid ,,,,,,

 yes that's true , because most of the themes don't go very well so they have to stop them ,but the wedding i was thinking it would stay for one or 2 years more the piano the church  :'(

The fact that themes don't continue for a long time doesn't mean that they don't sell well.  Playmobil operates to a different policy nowadays compared with earlier times by introducing new themes for a relatively short time and then withdrawing them.  The Romans, for example, certainly seemed to sell well but are no longer in the German catalogue and so will soon vanish from the other catalogues.  However, Playmobil still have the moulds and so they can re-introduce the theme again at no extra cost other than the materials for making the sets.

well that's good in a way point many of the new sets are not that nice today so it's good to see new things althought the romans stayed for a while the system x castles stayed for a while where do you base that playmobil operates this different policy nowadays ? and in the past they were themes that stayed for a year
