Andy & Lucinda...a wedding full of memories..

It was lovely to take a trip down somebody else's 'memory lane' at this weekends wedding! Andy & Lucinda married at Norbury Church in Derbyshire and followed with a reception at Smallwood Manor, Lucinda's childhood prep school. It was lovely to hear guests stories of days spent at the school and watch them find their names on the plaques on the walls! It was such a personal day for everybody and a privilege to be part of. 









My lovely daughter Meganne came along to assist me and took all these photos. I think she did a great job!



Andy & Lucinda chose a very rustic, vintage style for their day whilst still making the most of the school surroundings and theme...beautiful solid wood dining tables and benches, blackboard table names of classes, lots of natural moss and candles, herb favours for guests and centrepieces of mason jars filled with vintage tone roses, astilbe and herbs. I made gorgeous linen table runners which added a lovely natural base for their table design.









I decorated the cake in the same rustic vintage style...



Guests could leave messages for the bride and groom using this amazing vintage typewriter!






I handmade this personalized wedding sign for Andy & Lucinda and it turned out great! I make these to order so if you are interested in having one for your special day just give me a call!



I wish Andy & Lucinda all the best for their future together! Thanks for stopping by!

Hannah & Ali

Hannah & Ali have got to be one of  the most gorgeous couples I've had the privilege of working with...so much fun to be around and full of so many creative ideas for their wedding! It is always such a pleasure to have the chance to help create so many details that truly reflect the personality of a couple. The gorgeous photos are provided by Jade Alana Photography ...always amazing!! Hannah looked absolutely stunning in a Kula Tsurdiu dress...


Hannah chose a beautiful, summery yellow, green and white colour palette and we created a lovely garden style ceremony and reception complete with bunting, hanging lanterns, whirly windmills and pots of daisies!! Hannah wanted a really natural looking bouquet so I used lots of lovely daisies, alchemilla mollis, chrysanths, sweet peas, gypsophilia and craspedia tied with vintage style cream lace. 





I made a matching buttonhole for Ali using fun 'billy balls'...



Hannah chose simple bouquets of gypsophilia, handtied with yellow gingham ribbon for her bridesmaids who looked absolutely stunning!





Hannah and her dad arrived at the wedding in the coolest wedding car I've ever seen...and perfectly colour co-ordinated!!



The ceremony was so lovely and welcoming...I used rustic crates and painted flower pots at the start of the aisle and lined the aisle with shepherds crooks and bunting made by Hannah's mum & friends!



Hannah asked me to create a canopy for the wedding ceremony which was so much fun to make! I decided to use a mixture of gingham, lace and organza ribbon to reflect the style of the other wedding details and
trim with bunting...my lovely husband climbed some very high ladders for me to hang it as I'm definitely not one for heights!! It was so worth it...it looked like it was suspended in mid air and was such an amazing feature!





Hannah and her mum spent months collecting bottles, jars and quirky containers for the reception which looked amazing filled with flowers!






Even Ali got involved, creating all the table number stands from lego!


Hannah made a gorgeous table plan using a vintage stepladder...



It was such a perfect day for a perfect couple...thanks Hannah & Ali for letting me share in all its loveliness!
