Llwyn Country House

Being asked to showcase some of our stunning pieces for one of their elite wedding fayres was so exiting and was truly magical.

The guests were greeted at the wedding breakfast entrance, and then through to the bar and ceramony room.

A mix of fresh spring summer greens, cream organsa and taffeta chair sashes, wrapped the clotted creams fitted chair covers and were tweaked and had their own hand made mini flower bouqets and ostrich feathers.
With matching table runners laden with garlands of mixed varigated ivys and matching flowers laid across each table,the different height silver candlabras took centre stage for the centre pieces.
Nestled in between were silver tub style candle holders with large pillar candles, and of course there were plenty of twinkling faerie lights for the evening ambiance.

Aisles of matching chairs filled the breakfast room
for guests to walk down.
Each corner was dressed with props and decor designs.
Be it a vintage wooden stand topped with a beautiful old gramaphone player, or a fire surround filled with candlabras and
fresh floral garlands.

Large 6ft candlabras, bay trees wrapped in faerie lights,cream metal lanterns and matching cream candlabras provided extra styling to stimulate the imagination, and ideas to mix and match designs.

In the ceramony room,had a more of a rustic organic wood feel,with a twist of old gold french vintage, merging both the outdoor and the beautiful interior.
Huge wooden light up LOVE letters were dresses with our beautiful old book bundles wrapped in lace and vintage print materials,then filled with bouquets of flowers.
While old gold gilded frames sat on the floor and tables being filled like pictures.
My old heavy rustic wooden table was topped by a fusion of vintage cut crystal and old gold candle sticks,seating plans with rustic wooden disc seating designs,woodengiant chalk board order of service on old painters easel stands.

There was vintage China for that Alice In Wonderland cocktail tea party hen do,baby shower or even an anniversary.

Hand made jute hoops to hang from our 6mtr x 3 mtr ice light up back drop,vintage typewriters,
stacks of old leather suitcases.
So many little treasure were hidden around,
you just had to look😉.

Winding branch back drops filled with the windows with delicate hanging flowers ready to take outdoor for those memorable photos, secretly hidden in between the trees for an eclectic bespoke experience.

💖Another beautiful memory💖

Beautiful rustic themed wedding styled and set up in such a perfect hotel.

Clotted cream lace hoods wrapped their chairs and a mix of roses and peonies,
carnations, accessorised each chair.

The low rise centre pieces fitted perfectly in their wedding breakfast room.
Large waxed wooden platters were filled with lots of hessian and lace jars filled with a mix of light pastel and cream flowers.
Matching votive candle holders
For mini candles,wooden waxed table numbers, flowers and foliage garlands wrapped in twinkling faerie lights entwined each centre piece.

Our large wooden card box had pride and place on it's own table,and was wrapped it in garlands and faerie lights.
Matching full centre pieces candle votives, and framed card sign finished off the design.

Everyone was greeted by our giant wooden guest table seating frame and easel at the entrance,which was
embilished with large corner bouquets and draping ivy.
Lots of individually hand painted frames informing the guests of their seats,also had matching design inserts with the seating details.

Village Hotel and Spa

When I was previously contacted by a lovely couple who had been given my name, as other companies couldnt fulfil their vision I was over the moon and felt very blessed.

Many conversations and meetings later,and a full showcase of different mock up designs with many rich colours,heavy black satin fabrics, vintage glass,
old books,
pewter, silver frames,flowers giant plumes,
many candlabras, and even venitian masks, giant arch ways my work was done and the vision they wanted was achieved.

Their gothic venitian steam punk theme was set in motion.
We set up the day before all the way through till the night time.

The flower palette was a mix of burgundy,old gold,and rusts.
Large cream roses and peonies,trailing ivy,gerberas,
were just a few in the mix.

Large burgundy ostrich feathers and flowers filled silver candlabra centrepieces,
with trailing ivy wrapping around down the stems to the bases.
Each table had a mix of different one off vintage pieces from pewter engraved oval tea urns to old silver frames filled with flowers and long handled venison masks embellished with steam punk cogs and crystals.
Silver tub glass candle sticks,and vintage books wrapped and embellished sat on each table.
We just had to do a few extra touches,like light all the differnt size candles for them to drip on to the candlabras,as they weren't being lit in the venue.

The chairs had fitted jet black covers and wrapped in gold tafetta sashes.

The aisles were lit up with large silver lanterns, mini floral bouquets, foliage and trailing ivy which edged the length of the aisle before the couple were greeted by the huge wooden hand made gothic arch.
Layers of black tafetta draped around the arch in different swag heights,and puddled the floors.
Matching flowers and foliage garlands wrapped around,while more layers of tulle and sashes cradled the giant ostrich feathers and masks to add another dimension.
They had a huge white light up backdrop behind the arch which was set up in the morning.

6ft giant silver candlabras and 4ft candlabras stood at the front of their arch again wrapped in ivy.
(More battery pillar candle were added to the candlabras before the ceramony).

5ft wooden light up LOVE letters set the ambiance on their journey down the aisle.

Guests were treated to our giant 7ft candy cart,filled with sweets galore,and of course there was lots of twinkling faerie lights.

What can I say about the cake table but wow.
I was truly lost for words.The cake was a work of art absolutely beautiful, nestled inside my design set up.

Our giant swan stand was filled full of yummy Ferrero Rocher,and dresses with a matching long flower centerpiece.
There were lots of treat boxes, and our large white tree had beautiful vintage key favours for each guest hanging from the branches.
The heavy
Lockable card box was dressed with matching mini bouquets and faerie lights, extra gothic metal trays were filled with more ferrero rochers and yes I may have snaffled one on walking past 🤫😉.

The staff at The Village Hotel and Spa Swansea were brillaint.Thank you for making us feel so welcome.xx

More special memories.xx

When your given the opportunity to design, style and make bespoke one off pieces with no holds bared it's such an amazing feeling.
And yes sometimes quite humbling that your are trusted 100%.

Metal and paper cogs,vintage military buttons,clock findings,vintage glass beads and hand made jewellery was the design,any ideas of the theme.🤔🤩.

It was fresh summer florals with a steam punk pop.

This was my vision on a mans vintage pocket boutonniere and ladies matching corsage.
If your wondering what a boutonniere is,its a different style of corsage which is usually pinned onto lapel jackets for weddings.
These boutonnieres are easily slotted into the gentlemans or ladies left top pocket
instead of pinning the back of their collar rim jackets to attach a normal corage.

I hand made and decoupaged the main frame for the pocket boutonnerie and covered with vintage papers and edged with ink.
Every flower was strategically placed and added.
I sculpted and made metal detachable accessories, so after the fresh flowers had wilted each metal part could be taken apart for a keepsake memory of their special day.

The accessories were quirkily hidden in and around both pieces for that fun twist.
A steam punk tie pin,and detachable matching metal bookmarks were made to add to multiple books.
Also a military button pin for a keep sake.
The fresh flower ladies corage stems were wrapped in wire work,and a abstract frame was made to cradle the delicate flowers.
When they had wilted, the cage work could be removed and added to your next bunch of vased flowers as an adornment, or even made into a brooch.
I also snuck in some book charm pieces.
Hanging from the cage were hand made bespoke earings,which I could easily turn into key rings and phone charms.

I also made a few extra pieces for friends so they could enjoy the fun and be part of the theme.

Another beautiful memory.

One of my favorite eclectic out of box themed weddings was
a mix of pop culture(media,
gaming,music, films)
A twist on Alice,Round The World,fae,
fantasy,
whimsical and a few more.

Pastel lilacs,sage green,dusky pink,cream,
muted blues,garden greens were a few of colours that were blended together.
The palette of these colours were truly beautiful.

My giant vintage sewing table served as the perfect cake table decorated with tulle, flowers and vintage crystal cake stands.

Delicate pastel sashes adorned the wedding chairs, twinkling faerie lights with an array of matching flowers filled the giant birdcages.
These sat on giant mirror bases reflecting the faerie lights along their wedding aisle.

My french vintage giant plaster frame was wrapped in ivy and a background of twinkling faerie lights set the magical evening backdrop for photos(yes it was moved for the evening).

A mix of candlabras were hidden around the whole venue giving lots of ambient romantic lighting to all corners,tables,
staircases,and
entances.

Old school sweets filled the sweet shop style stand of the venue with lots of hidden decor to feast your eyes on,even when looking up you could spot the hot air balloons.

All of the centre pieces had their own theme, complimenting the vision for their wedding.

This was truly magical,
Court Colman Manor was the most perfect place, surrounded and set in such beautiful grounds I could of happily moved in.😊

Just one of my many Beautiful memories working with this classic boutique country house,which is nestled in secluded pristine grounds.
The food is devine and staff are always welcoming attentive and nothing is to much trouble.

I loved the romantic colour palette for our beautiful bride and grooms special day.
We made lots of aromatic fresh bay,rosemary and fresh foliage garlands,lilacs lavender,purple thistle, silvers,cream Roses and forest foliage,were draped around giant silver candlabras and trailing ivy.
Vintage crystal candle sticks,silver votive candles sat on large mirror bases.

Large twinkling Bay trees lite up the wedding cake room,and their delicate cake sat on out giant 3ft silver light up cake stand, cream cake slice and knife were at hand and adorned with giant cream Mr&Mrs Letters.

Silver grey tables runners and chairs drapes pulled the whole design together and flowed through to the ceramony room.
Large silver lanterns dressed the Aisle and our giant 6mtr silver twinkling back drop made such a pretty back ground for their
"I do's".
Outside nestled in the trees was our handmade french vintage framed PhotoBooth.
Lots of matching floral decor and flowers adorned every frame and metres of silver grey tulle framed the backdrop.xx

The staff as always were extremely helpful, and nothing was to much including my lovely coffee.

Lots of neutral shades of green,creams,
natural hessian and wicker were the colours of the day,with a relaxed style and design.

Clotted cream fitted chair covers were wrapped in heavy hessian drapes, overlayed with delicate light sage green organza sashes.

🏮🕯An array of latterns for table centre pieces were wrapped with delicate ivy, as they didnt want flowers.
Tall floor standing metal bird cages were added for a mix of cards and memory notes to be placed .
