Suzy and Duncan married mid Summer. They wanted a Vintage Tea-Party and so this is what we did…

Castle House was decorated with pots of potted herbs, fragrant jasmine and ivy – these sat alongside our specially commissioned black wrought iron lanterns holding ivory church pillar candles. The four posts were wrapped with seasonal foliage and ivy and dressed with wild flowers, whilst country garden flowers were tied at the ends of the pews

Low level floral posies dressed the terrace tables surrounded by pretty vintage crockery and cake stands. Guests enjoyed croquet and garden games on the lawn whilst listening to the music from the fantastic jazz trio, before going over to the Orangery for the evening party and hog roast!

Laura and Niel married in early March. They wanted a Contemporary Wedding with accents of majolica blue, warm olive and slate.

So this is what we did…

Castle House was styled simplistically with small and medium silver lanterns; we added  moss to the bases of these and lay a ring of orchids on top. Small glass votives holding orchid heads were also placed around the lanterns alongside clear glass tea light votives.

The alter window display comprised of curly willow, green cymbidium orchid stems, white dendrobium orchid stems and white calla lilies sitting within a clear glass vase lined with leaves

Emily designed simple floral ties for the ends of the pews comprising of a single calla lily, one stem of dendrobium white Orchid and a stem of green hypericum berries, which were tied with a silk majolica blue ribbon tie.

Guests wrote their wishes on cards and attached these to an olive tree, which took pride of place in the Great Hall. Laura and Niel added some really personal touches, they made and brought in the table name cards and their favours which were home made gin (for the men) and potted rosemary (for the women).

Charlene and Will married early Summer last year. They opted for a traditional English Country Wedding using pastels and plum as their signature colours.

To create this relaxed feel we used a range of glass vessels, jugs, buckets, jam jars and bottles to hold wild flowers and simple fragrant floral pew end ties were tied to the ends of the pews in Castle House.

Guests enjoyed bouncing on the space hoppers and playing jenga and crouquet during the drinks reception!

Pamela and Alex married early February 2013. They came with the brief of wanting a ‘modern decoration comprised predominantly of light and silver’ and so this is what we did..

We aimed to create a quite traditional wedding with a Contemporary twist working with pools of natural light. We used aluminium lanterns, glass and silver hurricane lamps to light the house. In the Great Hall we designed a simple floral display sat within a grey stone vase of Amaryllis, Calla Lilies and twisted willow; this was alongside lanterns holding ivory church pillar candles and two smaller similar floral displays.

The Wedding Breakfast was within the stunning Saloon and we dressed every table with a large trumpet vase, with clear dew drops and cut stems of Amaryllis and twisted willow, this was finished with decorative chandelier glass crystals. The displays were sat upon mirrored plates which helped to reflect the candlelight back into the room; every table held a collection of staggered height candles sat upon silver candle plates and tea light votives within silver speckled votives.

We created a candle lit walkway along the main drive to guide the guests over to the Orangery for the party; for this we used a collection of medium and large silver lanterns holding pillar candles.
