Hen's Weekend

We often get clients that are looking for a hen weekend idea that can include friends, relatives, mothers of the bride and groom, aunts and grandmothers. How about organising a Pink Afternoon Tea at the Athenaeum in Mayfair, London for all your close female friends and family? I was there last week for a friend's birthday. The lounge area is stylishly furnished and you could easily while away a few hours there. Afternoon tea starts from £26.50 and includes sandwiches, freshly baked scones, toasted crumpets, tea cakes and cakes. The cake selection is served from a tempting dessert cart that includes a range of cakes, biscuits and pastries. They will also serve glasses of Kir Royale to start the tea party!

Stunning Stationery

I visited the Designer Wedding Show at Battersea Park on Friday. There were lots of companies at the show giving brides plenty of stylish inspiration for their wedding day.

One company that I came across was Emily & Jo Stationery. They have do bespoke designs as well as have a range that you can pick from. Here are a couple of my favourites:

Winter Weddings

We organised a beautiful wedding in December for Julie and Andrew at Knightley Court at Fawsley Hall in Northamptonshire. The wedding started at 4pm in the afternoon with civil ceremony followed by mincepies and glasses of mulled wine to keep the guests warm. They sat down to dinner in the Saunders Room which was decorated in reds and greens. The guests then danced to a live band. The guests were lovely and it was a pleasure to be involved with their wedding. It was lovely to see the whole wedding come together after 15 months of planning. Meyer and Rene from M&R Photography were there to capture the day and produced some stunning photos. A selection are below:

Inspiration - Outdoor Bunting for Weddings

I recently came across a company that designs, makes and hires out bunting for wedding and events called The Big Beautiful Bunting Company. They have a range of designs including a lovely silk heart shaped pendant - perfect for a Valentine's Day inspired event
and also some that would look great at a marquee country inspired wedding.
