David & Lee got married at St Giles Church in West Bridgford followed by a reception at Grange Hall in Radcliffe on Trent. Their wedding was such fun to be part of because it was filled with so many personal details that made every guest feel so welcome and part of their celebration. They had thought of everything...a vintage bus to transport guests between venues...an ice cream cart and Pimms reception on arrival at the hall...a childrens play area in the reception hall for the younger guests...home made jam favours and much more!
It was great to have the chance to design and create details to compliment their style...a lovely, relaxed, country vintage feel...so out came my sewing machine and plenty of fabric and here are the results!
First on my list was 180 metres of bunting...the longest 180 metres of my life!! But it was definitely worth it!
I swagged the bunting from central poles in the room to the edges creating a ceiling canopy over the tables. I also created a 'fence' of bunting using shepherds crooks in large pots in co-ordinating colours to give a real garden feel to the room...
I created a table plan using a shabby chic cream frame, vintage style floral fabric and hand written luggage tags...
I dressed the tables with lace cloths, handmade fabric place cards and various vintage style containers filled with roses, peonies, soft pink astilbe, ammi and lisianthus.
David & Lee chose these gorgeous vintage railway postcards for their table numbers which looked great in these shabby chic stands!
The home made jam favours were adorable...
They had the cutest wedding cake that I topped with a cluster of peonies
Sweets...yum...
Lovely big tubs of hydrangeas, roses, ammi and peonies...
Entertainment during high tea was provided by the incredible voice of
Simon Partridge, vintage vocalist singing songs of the 1920's, 30's and 40's.
All in all, a fantastic day...congratulations David & Lee!! Hopefully I'll be able to show you some official photos soon of the bride & groom so come back soon for a peek!
