Hayley & Stuart, 25th of May 2019
Hayley & Stuart chose our silver-grey chair dressing to suit their grey and dusky pink colour scheme. We dressed the ceremony in a different orientation to the way we usually do things in the Imani suite, with the aisle running across the room rather than down from the garden. We set up an angled backdrop to follow the curve of the windows and then decorated the bride's walk down to it with our white aisle runner and arch. Dressing the arch with more silver-grey sashes and sprinkling just a handful of silver and dusky pink petals over the aisle pulled everything together for a subtle, classy finish.
A quick turnaround after the ceremony, where we spruced things up a little and set out matching silver favours, had the room all ready for Stuart and Hayley to share their first meal together as husband and wife. (The happy couple chose not to have a top table and stuck to a round table instead. This is a great idea if you fancy something a little less formal, or you're a bit shy about being on display at the top of the room.)

Steve & Sue, 8th of March 2019
Our starlight backdrop was a last minute addition to this gorgeous gold wedding and we think it made all the difference.
Hayley & Sam, 17th of November 2018
Hayley & Sam chose navy for their wedding in Lazaat's Monsoon suite. Our navy satin always looks sleek and stylish. Our starlight set added a romantic twinkle to the ceremony and our aisle runner with colour-coordinated rose petals lifted the room nicely for the bride's entrance.
Lauren & Tom, 2nd of November 2018
For this wedding the bride chose a combination rustic/vintage theme. Our rustic tree slice centrepieces and hessian and lace table runners were perfect for this look. Our 9m ivory backdrop set the scene for the wedding party and twinkled gently through the day and night.

Caroline & Jay, 6th of June 2018
We provided our Victorian post box as a last-minute addition to this couple's home wedding reception. Not only did it keep their cards nice and safe, it also made a gorgeous feature that fit perfectly with the couple's rustic, neutrally toned theme.
Angie & David, 14th April 2018 - Monsoon
Angie & Dave chose a very stylish navy colour scheme for their big day. We really enjoyed doing this one and we think that the satin and starlight looks really sleek and crisp. We provided chair dressing with covers and sashes; plus our complete starlight backdrop and table skirting set. The bride finished her aisle with a few contrasting yellow rose petals.
Simon & Nicole, 25th September 2017 - Imani Restaurant
Simon & Nicole opted for a gentle lilac colour scheme for their wedding, and let the starlight do the talking. The overall finish was soft and subtle but the colour of our taffeta sashes and the floral accents in the centrepieces held their own.
Jeanette & Garth, 19th August 2017 - Monsoon
Claire & Ryan, 19th August 2017 - Pavilion
We provided table runners and tree slices for Claire & Ryan's rustic wedding.
Sophie & Danny, 10th September 2016 - Monsoon
Our starlight set added the wow factor to Sophie & Danny's wedding. This job was an interesting one as our bride accidentally booked us for the wrong date. With just a week to go until the wedding we were able to tweak our schedule to fit in the extra work alongside three other weddings already booked for the same day. We were so pleased to be able to come through for our bride and groom.
Kerry & Nick, 7th August 2016 - Monsoon
Pretty in pink, this wedding was great fun. We provided the couple's table plan which took pride of place on our white, wooden easel. Our starlight backdrop and table skirts set off the reception suite and our white runner and pink petal art provided the perfect romantic touch for the ceremony. Colour-coordinated Belgian chocolates added a pop of colour (and a scrummy treat!) to each place setting.
Claire & Adam, 22nd April 2016 - Pavilion (pre-refurbishment)
Our bride for this wedding was looking came to us with an interesting theme in mind. As the couple were due to marry abroad she wanted to work a subtle travel theme into the dressing for the day, while still keeping a vintage/shabby chic theme overall. When we heard that floral suitcases were the idea for the centrepieces we sourced our gorgeous floral sashes to compliment them. The bride's own shells and our hessian table runners gave a sense of the beach, and alternate lace sashes lent some softness.
Charlotte & Stuart, 27th June 2015 - Monsoon
Our starlight curtain lifted the decor and provided the perfect backdrop for the wedding breakfast. Our white carpet with gentle scattering of rose petals accentuated the aisle.
Bianca & Michael, 1st March 2015 - Monsoon
The soft peach theme of this wedding was a lovely colour to work with. As well as our starlight set we provided centrepieces, peach favours, and peach petals.
