Boo!!

Hello Folks

Its been a while since we posted on our blog ( I know way too long) I can only put that down to being so busy!!!

Due to the seasonal nature of our profession, the weeks and months just roll by. Normally we gear up for the season to start in April but in 2011 we had our busiest January on record and things just never eased up….till now…10 months later.

We have played such a great part in so many weddings this year and worked with some creative brides. We have maintained our high standards, exceeded on quality and contributed to some truly exquisite weddings.

Here are a few of my favourites

Prestwold Hall

Out tailor made covers fitting perfectly as always

We are still innovating and introducing little special touches that make all the difference.

and the delightful Stapleford Park

There are lots of exciting things happening in preparation for 2012, so we aim to keep you posted soon.

Christmas Cheer

So it’s all over for another year and didn’t it go fast!!! I thought I was busy with all the family preparations but imagine if you were organising a wedding too!! Well all our Christmas bridal couples did a brilliant job of having everything planned well in advance and I love to see a bit of the Christmas theme brought into a wedding.

And what better way of adding a touch of jovial spirit to your wedding with these fabulously festive arrangements on the back of the chair covers. Each aisle chair was adorned with these mini arrangements secured by the sashes.

The sashes are a luscious berry red which is very fitting for Christmas time.

Fresh flowers, berries, acorns or silk flowers can be used to add extra detail to the aisle chairs, let your imagination run wild.

A Sparkling start to 2011

Who doesn’t like a bit of sparkle?

Especially over the festive period? So hats off to our first bridal couple of 2011 who added a few glimmers and shimmers to their venue styling. If the rest of their wedding was this shimmery it would have been a very pretty affair.

Out with the green unsightly chairs and in with some glitz and glamour if you please!!

These chairs are covered in our perfect fitting ivory chair covers and embellished with our ivory organza sashes. But the fun doesn’t stop there, diamante rings are added to accentuate the shimmering theme running through this beautiful wedding.

The details really do make all the difference and these diamante rings glisten like little jewels

The chairs were set for a civil ceremony and the overall colour scheme was ivory with a touch of silver and a kiss of pink as you can see so beautifully coordinated in the floral arrangement here

The diamante detailing continues with an elegant cake with pearlised icing and diamante ribbon

And you probably can guess whats coming next!!! No sparkle themed wedding would be complete with…… The twinkle backdrop.

A round of applause for pulling together an elegant stylish way to dress your wedding venue. Look and learn!!!

Details details details

Once you have your wedding date and venue booked, the big ticket items reserved and spread the word to all your friends and family the fun can really start as you think about the smaller details. And oh how we love the details, the little individual touches to your wedding that make it one of a kind. Here are a few little tasters that we came across.

I just love the attention to detail here for the men. Firstly the sunshine yellow colour coordinated tie and button hole matching most eloquently with the brides playful bow – so very well thought out. A big tick.  Secondly the patterned tie, handkerchief and cuff links are a real winner. Good to see the men are not forgotten.

Enough to bring a smile to anyones face, these delightful forks engraved with ‘Mr & Mrs’  perfect for tucking into your wedding cake. A lovely touch to the sole of the brides shoes with the addition of the bride and grooms initials. Amazing how the little items can have a big impact.

A couple of foody ideas here. Brilliantly individual cupcakes which are so detailed I would struggle to choose which one to devour and why not add fruit mint or edible flowers to your ice cubes for the ultimate summer drink.

Now we think one of our brides got all the details just right this year with her vintage themed wedding. Coordinating lace on her name cards and lace sashes on her chair covers, combined with floral tea cup candles made a perfect table setting – argh we love working with stylish folk!!

………….and how could we forget to mention one final detail, each female guest had a beautiful peach coloured rose tied to the back of her chair – now thats detailed planning!!!
