Kirsty & Andrew, 26th of November 2021 - Pavilion
For Kirsty & Andrew's wedding we provided a twinkling starlight backdrop, our rustic LOVE letters with heart, and crisp white chair covers. We carried out a turnaround service between the ceremony and the reception, during which we re-installed the backdrop and LOVE letters in the other half of the pavilion, ready for the wedding breakfast. We love how striking our letters look in this suite - they're such an eye-catching feature and really hold their own in the space.
Laura & Brandon, 26th of November 2021 - Imani
Laura & Brandon held their wedding in the Imani suite and we dressed the room to the nines for them in elegant shades of navy and gold - and lots and lots of blossom! Our new style LOVE letters with heart O made a great impact in the room, and a sprinkling of light from our starlight set complemented the wintry weather outside.
Rachael & Jamie, 7th of November 2021 - Pavilion
Our lovely couple are both big Game of Thrones fans and wanted to incorporate that into their dressing. 'Winter is Coming' was the key phrase for the big day. The bride's vision was to create a winter forest setting and this is what we put together with her.
We used elegant, ruffled white linens for their chair dressing and turned the room into a beautiful forest of blossom with our stunning trees and arch. Our dance floor, LOVE letters, and starlight backdrop with matching table dressing made the whole room twinkle with light. A statement floral arrangement for the top table finished the room off perfectly.

James & Jodie, 31st of October 2021 - Pavilion
For James and Jodie we provided a pretty set of décor with a country-rustic style to suit the season. We dressed their chairs with crisp white covers and our beautiful, rustic hessian bows. A white aisle runner and our lush green floral arch set the scene for their ceremony. We set the waiting reception room with one of our top-of-the-line starlight backdrops and elegant skirting for the top table. A quick turnaround and a move of the arch so it could be used for photos through the day, and we were wedding breakfast-ready!
Luke & Laura, 23rd of October 2021 - Monsoon
Luke & Laura married in the Monsoon suite and chose a brilliantly bold colour scheme of rich purple and sunny yellow. Our ivory flower wall with 'Happily Ever After' signage gave them a romantic background for their ceremony.
Natalie & Michael, 16th of October 2021 - Imani
Natalie and Michael opted for a rustic theme for their big day. Our beautiful burlap bows instantly brought that rustic, country feel to the Imani suite. Our blossom trees and twinkling starlight curtain gave them a light and delicate backdrop to their vows. We think this setup looked particularly gorgeous with the sunlight flooding in from the courtyard garden behind them.
Katie & Neil, 2nd of October 2021 - Monsoon
Our couple wanted a wedding with a twist and it was very important to our bride that their modern ceremony incorporated traditional pagan elements. With getting back to nature in mind, we dressed the Monsoon suite with our rustic hessian sashes, added a scattering of autumn leaves to our crisp, white aisle runner and let our stunning flower-strewn foliage arch do the talking as a fabulous focal point at the top of the aisle.
Over in the reception room we provided rustic table runners to match the couple’s chair dressing; our rustic easel for their table plan; and our lush green foliage wall as a backdrop for family photos. A white backdrop and matching table dressing finished the room and balanced the organic feel of the room with a little touch of classic white wedding.

Sean & Victoria, 19th of September 2021
Victoria chose shades of blush and pink for her special day with Sean. We loved putting together this pretty pink ceremony setting for them.
Trudy & Mark, 15th of August 2021 - Monsoon
We used a beautiful deep purple shade for Trudy and Mark's wedding dressing, to complement the wedding party's outfits and the colours in the bride's bouquet.
Jaime & Simon, 1st of August 2021 - Pavilion
Maria & Kris, 19th of June 2021 - Imani
John & Rachel, 22nd of May 2021 - Monsoon
John and Rachel's wedding was our first event after the restrictions on gatherings were lifted in spring 2021. Our white trees with delicate blossoms and crystals paired perfectly with their subtle silver and white colour scheme, leaving the whole room light and airy for their special day.
[A short break for the coronavirus pandemic.]
Corporate Event, 12th of October 2019 - Imani
A corporate party with a stylish monochromatic colour scheme. We were happy to work with our client again for their end-of-year party after working with them back in 2017. It's always nice to get the chance to work with a client for a second time.
Charity Ball, 12th of October 2019 - Pavilion
Our work for a charity ball held as part of Baby Loss Awareness Week. Our pink canopy blossom trees flanked the doors and gave 255 people a special entrance. We finished our flower wall with pink and blue blooms for the lost little girls and boys.
Lauren & Martin, 11th of October 2019 - Monsoon
Beautiful burgundy and starlight for Lauren & Martin's big day.
Rebecca & Christopher, 5th of October 2019 - Monsoon
Rebecca & Chris married abroad and then hosted their home reception at Lazaat when they returned to England. Our blue-green sashes and matching chocolates were the perfect colour to bring a sense of the seaside back home from our couple's sunshiny Cyprus ceremony.
Hayley & Stuart, 25th of May 2019 - Imani
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.)

Amy & Steve, 12th May 2019 - Monsoon
We mixed hessian, lace and shades of pink to create a look for Amy & Steve somewhere between rustic and shabby chic. Our chunky tree slice centrepieces were just the thing for the big guest tables, and our suitcase stacks brought a little something special to the top table. Our twinkling starlight set added some extra sparkle to their day.
Maddy & Luke, 19th of April 2019 - Imani
Maddy and Luke opted for an elegant shade of navy for their big day. As well as dressing their chairs we dressed up the room with a starlight backdrop and finished the aisle with a scattering of rose petals to pave the way for the bride.
Steve & Sue, 8th of March 2019 - Imani
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 - Monsoon
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 - Pavilion
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 - Monsoon
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
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.
