A Wedding At Belle Epoque

Jules & Lee

Got Married

at

Belle Epoque in Knutsford

There is the most gorgeous "secret" garden and Jules wanted it to look like a fairy grotto at night

 So we went to work hanging tealight holders from trees

Lots of hanging heart tealight holders

The lillies smelled divine

Draped fairy lights over arches & lanterns on steps

The garden is filled with fabulous flowers

We grouped lanterns together

We filled the place with lanterns to give that magical glow

I wish we'd seen it at night it must have looked magical

We even filled birdcages with candles

 

Lots of tealights and pearls

Each table was dressed differently

Vintage pink glass tazzas

Silverware & Cake Stands

Bird Cages

I love this pink art deco glass vase

There was lisianthus & roses

Adored this ornate gold mirror that was on the stairs

Lots of pink vintage glass

And our luggage table planner, decorated with vintage rhinestone brooches, pearls and all sorts of other prettyness.

Congratulations Jules & Lee

We loved every minute of dressing this beautiful venue for you.

It's been a while...

It's been a while...

Too long...

But we have been busy bees, what with moving into our new unit at Woodend Mill, more of that in a later blog post, meetings with brides, and spring wedding fairs, a new dog, a new kitten, having the honour of being included in the wonderful photography group of ladies known as The Click Collective,  wigwamming with the hilariously funny & hugely talented the click collective   ... we can't believe Easter's been and gone!

Well they do say time flies when you're having fun!

So to get me back into the swing of things gently, I thought I'd show a few images from the recent wedding fair we did at Event City, we were so lucky to share a stand with the incredibly talented Lynn of Hairbows Wonderland whom make the most beautiful brooch bouquets, hair accessories and all manner of gorgeousness.

Keep Your Cool...

Having a marquee or back yard wedding?

Need to keep your bubbly or beers cool?

Why not hire our vintage galvanised tubs/baths to do the job...

Fill with ice...

Plonk the bottles in...

Afternoon Tea...

Last Sunday saw us up at Heath Cottage Wedding Fair, where we had a stand and our vintage crockery was used in the afternoon tea room...



You had the choice of a slice of cake or one of these gorgeous cup cakes with a cup of lovely yorkshire tea, served in our pretty vintage china cups

Or you could have "high tea" which consisted of  finger sandwiches and mini cream cakes served on our 3 tier china cakestands, all with a cup of tea of course

Every commented on the crockery and said how much better tea tasted out of "proper" china cups
