How can you not be completely obsessed with this baby shower brunch setup? 🍼

We wanted to create something elegant yet relaxed, a space where guests could sit back, enjoy a long brunch, and really take in the moment. The soft lilac tones, layered textures and natural greens brought such a fresh garden feel, and the florals tied everything together perfectly.

Ready to see how we completely transformed this space for part two of the baby shower? Here’s a little hint… there’s a serpentine table involved 😍

You see the end result; I see the journey it took to get there...

What you don’t see is the days before overseeing the marquee build, the early morning set-up, the last-minute tweaks, the quiet checks before guests arrive and the late-night breakdown when everyone’s gone home. I couldn’t have done it without my incredible team and the brilliant suppliers who brought M&J’s wedding at Cliveden House to life.

Instagram shows the beautiful end result, but behind every moment is hours of planning, problem-solving and teamwork. It’s hard work, but I absolutely love it. Helping my couples have a day this special is why I do what I do. 🤍

I’m still not sure how we made this work, but we did...

Having an outdoor ceremony is always a gamble, but it turned out beautifully. With less than 45 minutes to set everything up, it was pretty intense but we all worked together as one big team to make it happen, all with a calm demeanour! I couldn’t be happier with what we created for M & J’s wedding at Cliveden House. This historic estate, with its sweeping grounds and timeless charm, was the most magical setting for their day. Seeing everything come together and watching them celebrate surrounded by so much love was truly special.

We work closely with our corporate clients to understand their goals, target audience, and brand identity, ensuring that the event aligns with the company’s vision and objectives

From the moment we discuss your initial ideas, we hold every single choice accountable to that vision. This means every single detail from the production setup, the wine list, the seating plan, is deliberately selected because it serves your ultimate purpose. Nothing is left to chance.

And the rebrand event was no exception. There was a lot that went into making the event relevant to Amie’s story so far. The fabulous new logo was surrounded by smaller icons, all of which represent something personal to Amie, so we incorporated many of these throughout the event. The focal point for the drinks reception was a flower stall, as that’s where Amie’s career began, and guests were able to take home a bunch of flowers at the end of the night. We had a giant black and white logo in this space and everyone was encouraged to colour a section in so they had a small part in making a mark on this special day. And so much more...

So trust me when I say, we are conscious and intentional with every part of the design and planning process from start to finish. This level of focus is how we deliver truly exceptional events.

Bespoke or made to measure—do you know the difference?

The word ‘bespoke’ in particular is so often misunderstood and misused, but understanding the differences can help you make an informed decision about what would work best for you when you embark on your wedding dress journey.

1. Made to Measure: This involves taking pre-existing patterns and altering them to fit the client’s measurements. The process typically starts with a standard size, which is then adjusted based on individual measurements. While it offers a better fit than off-the-rack options, the design choices are somewhat limited, as the styles are generally predefined.

2. Bespoke: This is a highly personalised approach where the garment is created completely from scratch based on the customer’s specific requirements. Multiple and extensive measurements are taken and then a unique paper pattern is created by hand. The bespoke route offers endless customisation possibilities on styling, design choices, fabrics and finishes. Each piece is then uniquely hand-crafted, ensuring a perfect fit and personal style.

The choice between the two depends on your budget, time constraints, and the level of customization desired. Each option has its merits, catering to different needs and preferences.

Esme’s wedding collection was created using the bespoke. Working with the dress designer , a series of outfits to span the weekend were designed to suit Esme’s exacting requirements. It was an in-depth and lengthy process but each piece was exquisite and the craftsmanship incredible. Esme’s main wedding day dress included various accessories that could be added or taken away to adapt the look throughout the day. We also had a bespoke tartan designed that was made into a mini suit for Esme’s son; bow ties for the Groomsmen and also sashes for the bridesmaids. A unique crest was designed by hand and then used to make cufflinks and buttons.

TAKE TIME TO DREAM: Yes really! What do you want your wedding day to look like?

How do you want your guests to feel? What sort of atmosphere do you wish to create? What would make everyone this the day is a true reflection of you both? What’s most important to you?

These are all valuable questions you need to consider after getting engaged and as you’re about to begin that journey into finding your perfect wedding venue. If you don’t give yourself space and time to dream and imagine, then you can easily be overwhelmed looking at venues that aren’t right for you.

These are just a few of the many questions we ask our couples when they come on board with Cranberry Blue as it helps us to understand who they are as individuals but also as a couple and what sort of venue would make the perfect backdrop to their special day.

Mistakes Couples Make When Choosing Their Wedding Venue:

1. NOT DOING SOME GROUNDWORK FIRST: Ascertain what your wedding vision is; would you like an outdoor summer vibe, or a magical winter one? Do you dream of saying ‘I do’ in a church or by a lake? Do you see yourselves in a country house, barn, modern city hotel etc? It’s also imperative to put an initial guest list together so you have an idea of what size venue you need.

2. NOT BOOKING A WEDDING PLANNER FIRST: Finding your perfect venue is a daunting task so wading through 1000s of options & then trying to sift through all the information can be overwhelming. We have the insider knowledge so can provide a shortlist of handpicked options. We also know what questions to ask.

3. NOT UNDERSTANDING THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A DRY HIRE OR ALL-INCLUSIVE VENUE: Both have pros and cons. A dry-hire venue essentially means you’re hiring the event space only (usually with some accommodation), but you will have to bring everything else in, which is a lot of additional work but will provide you with flexibility. An all-inclusive option such as a 5* hotel means they will provide the food and drinks, basic furniture, linen and in-house tableware, along with staff on the day. Easier but perhaps not offering the flexibly you want.

4. NOT CONSIDERING THE WET WEATHER BACK UP OPTION: Ok, so your dream is to get married outside on the lawn, but you also need to be happy with their inside option in case it rains. If you hate it, then the venue really isn’t for you.

5. NOT ASKING IF THERE ARE ANY RESRICTIONS: Is there a set time the party has to finish? If so, is there anywhere to continue for an after-party? Does the party room have a noise limiter? Can you have fireworks, real candles and is confetti allowed etc?

HELLO FROM ME! 👋 I thought now would be as good a time as any to introduce myself to our new followers at the start of the New Year.

✨I founded Cranberry Blue just over 16 years ago now (yikes, that’s just freaked me out!)
✨ Where did our brand name come from? We originally just focused on weddings (before expanding into all manner of other events), and our logo used to be a butterfly. Cranberry Blue is in fact a type of butterfly and in some cultures they represent love and marital bliss. 🦋
✨ My approach and vision has always been to create once in a lifetime experiences, and for each event to be truly personal to every client. 🥰
✨One of my favourite things about my job is the creativity involved and transforming spaces into something magical and seeing our clients having an amazing time 🪄
✨I love flowers and a ‘more is usually more’ mentality! 🌺
✨Attention to detail is everything 💫
✨I always get emotional when I see my brides in their dress for the first time 👰‍♀️ 👰🏽
✨I have 2 young children who keep me on my toes (a 9, going on 15-year old daughter who shares the same birthday as me and a little boy who’s 6) 👧 👦
✨I love any excuse for a party - I’m not good at early starts but I love late finishes! 🥳
✨I’m a complete shoeaholic but I was once told, always wear great shoes ‘cause when you dance on the table it’s the first thing people see’ - such good advice 👠
✨I love a spreadsheet and have been known to add something onto a list, just to cross it off 🙈
✨I’ve been told I can on occasion come across as having a tough exterior but I’m a sensitive soul at heart 💓
✨I’m unashamedly a perfectionist which goes hand in hand with my OCD tendencies but is worth it to see the end result
✨ My favourite drink would be a glass of rose in the summer but I’m very partial to an Espresso Martini 🍸
✨ If I wasn’t an event planner, gosh what would I do? I genuinely don’t know 😂

Enough about me, what about you? Drop me a line to say hi! 👋

WINTER WHITE:
If you’ve recently got engaged and are starting to think about when you might like to get married - consider how the seasons can really shape the look and feel of your special day. Winter weddings can often be over-looked for the summer months which I think is a shame as this time of year can offer so much in way of inspiration. Winter styling can take various forms, however one of my favourites is an elegant snow white look (as in the colour as opposed to the Disney character!) Take this wedding we created for Laura & Jon - the wintery wonderland backdrop provided a magical setting for them; white trees lined the aisle and framed doorways; their table plan was a statement white tree with hanging es**rt cards and we even created a hidden ‘Narnia’ that opened up after dinner.

NAUGHTY OR NICE LIST? On the eve of one of the most important days of the year, we reflect on this delightful party we created earlier this month. Full of festive magic and wonderment for a group of lucky little guests, they were entertained by the elves and Mrs Claus, gingerbread decorating fun and were even visited by the big man - Father Christmas himself!
