💒 Did you know... it was as a result of our wedding planning experiences & on-the-day wedding decor stresses that we started The Memory Knot Company??? Our tag line is, "We tie everything together to create the perfect occasion, with lasting memories!"... a memory knot!

Andrew likes to sum up our romance by reminding others that "you'd get less time for murder!" 😉 Personally, I'm still waiting for my medal 🏅

As the saying goes, "Every love story is beautiful, but ours is my favourite!" 💑 ... Apart from the fantasy one I have with Ryan Reynolds, but we'll not go there 😻

We look forward to what the next 18 years have to offer & now we're off to celebrate 🍾 🥂

It was a pleasure to play our part in decorating for Pippa and Chris' wedding on Sunday at the beautiful Langley Castle Hotel and Restaurant 😍 Weddings are always a special day to treasure, but Chris and his groomsmen certainly made it one of the most memorable... they arrived in style, skydiving in to the wedding!! 🙌

We all know planning a wedding is super stressful... this new programme airing in 2023 sounds like a great watch 👀

**MASSIVE ANNOUNCEMENT GUYS!**

Been dying to tell you all about this for months now but it’s been top secret - I’m in the middle of filming a super exciting, brand new show for BBC Two alongside Fred Sirieix and Raj Somaiya made by BBC Studios

So the official news has just gone out and here are the headlines for you…

“Master of Ceremonies (working title) will see eight wedding planners battle it out to prove they are Britain’s next best wedding expert as they design spectacular ceremonies for six couples.

Dragons’ Den star Sara Davies, First Dates favourite Fred Sirieix and wedding industry expert Raj Somaiya will be the judges and mentors - overseeing the planners as they create dream weddings for our couples. Throughout the competition they will send home the weakest planner until just two remain in the final where the planners will face one final challenge to decide who will be crowned the winner.”

We started filming last week and OMG it’s just the most amazing show! We’re shooting more this weekend and I’ll keep you posted as much as I can in stories so keep an eye out! Watch this space!

Hi everyone 😁 Just a quick Facebook update for anyone who has sent us a FB message or tagged us in a post recently... we have discovered that our FB business page has changed [again] and new settings have been in place that we were not aware of, since May 🤷‍♀️

It appears that notifications for messages/tags had been turned off [now turned on again] and an auto-response had been set-up [not by us]... So, we haven't seen your messages and you have had a strange/blunt reply that we didn't send you 🤦‍♀️

Apologies if you thought we were ignoring you and we have replied to all the messages now [I think]. Please feel free to get in touch via WA instead on 07949 941220 or give us a call, as we'd love to hear from you to discuss your enquiries further. Thanks, Jaimie and Andrew X

RAIN... otherwise known as 'confetti from the sky' apparently! Combine it with freezing wind and the end result is 2 x cold and soggy venue stylists 🤣

But as with all negatives, there's always a positive... our pretty fairy lights on the gazebo at the stunning Armathwaite Hall Hotel and Spa for Charlotte and Kieran to celebrate their marriage with a romantic smooch Armathwaite Hall Weddings 😘

The talented (and possibly more damp) Jason Chambers Photography captured the moment beautifully 📸 This fabulous photo will be 'one for the lounge wall' for sure! 😍

It's said to be good luck to have rain on your wedding day, as a wet knot is harder to unravel 🍀 Congratulations to Mr and Mrs Mundy and we wish you all the best for a happily married life! 🥰

April 12th is a good day for 2 reasons...

2️⃣ today, we received a lovely email congratulating us on being recognised as 'Outstanding' in the décor category of The Wedding Emporium Business Industry Awards 2021... the positivity is greatly welcomed after such a tough year for the wedding industry, so thank you for this unexpected 'pick me up' 😍

We've been busy behind the scenes, re-organising the diary and our showroom ready for lots of wedding planning consultations... it's hard to believe that we'll soon be back to doing what we love and can't wait to see all our engaged couples to help them plan their venue decor 😍

Recently, we were thrilled to be asked by Macdonald Leeming House to style their beautiful venue for a photoshoot... alongside our other business, Simply Bows and Chair Covers - Cumbria & West Northumberland, we styled the restaurant in elegant blush and peach tones for a wedding ceremony and wedding breakfast. We also decorated The Blue Room for a smaller ceremony and wedding breakfast to suit those more intimate weddings, dressed with trendy dusty blue shades to compliment the room.

It was a super busy few days and it was lovely to be 'back at it', working alongside the venue's fab team and great suppliers like Peter from Peter Ostrowski Photographer Cumbria... his photos are brilliant and here's a sneak peek 📸
