A few months ago I worked on an amazing shoot with some super talented suppliers in the grounds of Thrumpton Hall. It was all about bo-ho, braces, bow ties and some gorgeous bikes belonging to our amazing photographer Lee Garland. We were so pleased to have the shoot featured on Rock my Wedding! You'll find a full list of suppliers after these gorgeous images sent over by Lee...

I created this lace canopy for the outdoor table setting and used hessian on the table to give a rustic feel to the shoot. I painted wooden boxes on the table in a beautiful mint colour (which I think is going to be a really popular colour in 2013!) and filled them with coral and cream roses, dahlias and peonies and mint succulents with lots of silvery foliage and thistles. I even made bow tie style napkins to match the groom and page boy's accessories! Lots of wooden crates and an old barrel for the yummy punch added to the rustic style.

Hope you enjoyed this shoot as much as we did and feel inspired to re-create a relaxed outdoor style for your big day! Hopefully the British weather will improve so that we can see more outdoor weddings!!

I had a great time today at Save the Date Magazine's Wedding Open Day at The Carriage Hall in Nottingham. So many lovely brides and amazing suppliers! So I thought I'd share a few piccies to show you what I've been up to...

I've been making lots of new signs recently...here's just a few!

I decided to do a very vintage, rustic table and loved the way it turned out...lots of lovely bottles wrapped in lace and soft peach ribbons, wooden stands, soft garden blooms and a few glam candlesticks!

For my second table I did lovely fresh green and white flowers in vases wrapped in lace..

Here's a new table plan I've been working on...

I was so pleased to have a stand next to the lovely Natalie of Yummy Little Cakes ...her cakes are amazing and taste as good as they look!! (I know...I sneaked a few samples at the end of the day...absolutely divine!) Here's a few from her stand today!
