Eleanor & Stephen's amazing Thrumpton Hall wedding!

This has to be one of my all time favourite weddings...I knew from my very first meeting with Eleanor and Stephen that this was going to be a little bit different when we started talking about taxidermy and antlers as part of the decor!! They had so many unique ideas and I knew the Great Expectations theme would work perfectly in the surroundings of Thrumpton Hall. I created a sumptious wedding breakfast table with old, mismatched candelabras, busts, antlers, vintage vases, moss, trailing ivy...even owls and skulls!! Eleanor's father even provided 'Frank', who sat in front of the head table! The gorgeous images were taken by Lee Garland who is just AMAZING! Second shooting for him was Georgina Stokes. I was so pleased when this wedding was featured on Rock My Wedding...hope you enjoy!

Huge thanks to Eleanor & Stephen for letting me be part of their day and for being such a pleasure to work with!

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!
