Incorporating colors into your wedding decor can indeed feel intimidating, but it’s all about balance. A subtle change, like a colorful tablecloth, can completely transform the ambiance without being overwhelming.

To achieve that bright yet elegant look, consider pairing bold tablecloths with neutral or complementary tableware. You could also add pops of color through centerpieces, napkins, or glassware.

A thoughtfully designed, colorful tablescape can create a warm, inviting atmosphere that reflects your personality without feeling overdone. Go ahead, embrace the color!

Why is a venue stylist so important to your day!

When you book a venue stylist, they are there to help bring your vision to life!

You'll have multiple meetings with them to discuss your day and how you envision everything. They will create a mood board based on your input, ensuring a timeless and elegant wedding styling.

They take away all the extra stress you might feel if you were doing it yourself. On the morning of your wedding, they come to the venue and set everything up, so you don’t need to worry about a thing. The next day, they return to take everything down.

I came across The Orchard years ago (well before being engaged) and had my heart set on it for my wedding. This is the only venue we visited and we were blown away from the moment we arrived, it’s even more beautiful than the pictures.
Tanith and her team are incredible, they went above and beyond to accommodate every request. I had a vision to offer a seated BBQ sharing meal (Big Easy style) which is something they haven’t offered before but we’re more than happy to support and it did not disappoint. The food was delicious and the chef went out of his way to provide recommendations and to meet on many occasions to discuss our plans. The venue itself has so many beautiful features, the bridal lodge is stunning and a perfect area for the bridal party to relax while getting ready. The main room is breathtakingly beautiful without needing any additional decor and has the added bonus of a bar within the room to avoid losing guests throughout the evening. We had a live band and separate sax player all night and our guests were still dancing at 2am wishing the night didn’t have to end. The Orchard continued to make small decor changes since booking and every time we visited we fell in love with it a little more. Three weeks since our wedding and the guests are still complimenting the stunning venue. We can’t wait to book again in a few years for my big birthday. Thanks again Tanith, Callum and the team. You helped make a potentially stressful day run so smoothly without any hiccups and we are extremely grateful for all your support x
