Emily & Darren...

 It was such a pleasure to be part of Emily & Darren's wedding a couple of weeks ago. It was a wedding full of personal details, quirky vintage finds and gorgeous vintage tone florals that definitely reflected their unique style! They married in their local parish church in Quorn village and followed with an amazing reception at The Carriage Hall, in Plumtree, Nottingham. I can't wait to see their official photographs but couldn't resist showing you some of the details! 
For their ceremony I created a feature arrangement using a gorgeous vintage wooden box provided by Emily, and filled it with these lovely autumnal hydrangeas and vintage tone roses and personalised it with their initials...such a lovely idea!

I am totally in love with these colours! At the Carriage Hall I created table centres using lovely cream candelabras and floral wreaths and also a collection of vintage cream urns for the mezzanine tables.

The Carriage Hall is such a beautiful and versatile wedding venue and I loved the opportunity to create this stunning ceiling of twinkle lights and paper lanterns in the mezzanine area.

The reception was filled with lots of lovely details including a natural twig wishing tree, sweetie table and cupcakes served on vintage glass cake stands...

On the bar, I filled a vintage champagne bucket with more gorgeous flowers...

So I hope you've enjoyed this little sneak into what I get up to on a weekend...I thoroughly enjoyed this wedding and getting to know an amazing couple and I wish them all the best for their future together!!

Stancliffe Hall Christmas Ball

I was so pleased to be asked to take part in decorating this event in November. Stancliffe Hall, in Matlock, Derbyshire, is an unbelievably beautiful wedding venue that has been completely refurbished to the highest standard and will be available for weddings this year.

It turned out to be quite a challenging task for me due to the sub zero temperatures and snowfall in November as my area to decorate was outside the front entrance!! After 4 hours out there it took me an hour in a nice, hot bath to thaw out!! I love my job but that tested my commitment! I'm glad to say that I survived and was really pleased with the result. Here's a few images, courtesy of Jade Alana Photography for you to enjoy!
