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!!

In January I was asked to style a 'winter wedding' photo shoot at the Carriage Hall in Plumtree, to be used for their new wedding brochure. It was another chance to work alongside my amazing friend and photographer Jade Alana so I knew the results would be amazing!! The Carriage Hall was once the old Plumtree station goods shed, but has been converted into a stunning venue for weddings and special events. If you haven't been there it's definitely worth a visit!

I decided to use soft duck egg blues, ivory lace, silver and mercury glass against the beautiful brick interior of the venue. I put up the Christmas tree (again!) and decorated with glittery white poinsettias, mercury glass baubles and handmade fabric hearts that I spent the week stitching together!!

I even roped my husband in to make me a wedding sign to compliment the tree!! Secretly I know he loves doing these things despite the frowns and general sighs of "what on earth are you making now??"
I made little place cards of duck egg blue dupion silk overlaid with glittery white cotton lace with a matching wrap around the napkin and duck egg blue tablecloths with lace panel overlays.

I borrowed these beautiful silver beaded tealight shades from my mother in law whose house is an Aladdin's cave of goodies!!

Beautiful white roses, lisianthus, freesias, ranunculus and gypsophilia along with silvery blue eucalyptus were arranged in a variety of silver goblets, cake stands and mercury glass vases giving a really fresh vintage feel to the shoot.

I created a wintry alter table using a console covered in the same overlays and used a lovely big silver mirror to reflect the light and soft glow of twinkle lights and silver candlesticks...
