Maternity leave

If you follow me on Twitter or receive our newsletters you probably know the news, but I’m soon to embrace a whole new project by way of a little junior arriving into our world.

With this in mind, the office is temporarily closed to allow me some maternity leave from 2 December 2011. We plan to re-open our doors again in the summer of 2012.  Wish me luck, I am a tiny bit terrified!

The wedding of Kay and Nima – colourful brights

Today, I’m excited to show you some images from one of our summer weddings. Have you got your shades ready? Warning, it’s bright with a capital B!   We think it’s a great example of how two colours might not often be seen together but how fantastically they can work for the adventurous.

We are thrilled that this wedding is featured in the current issue of Perfect Wedding  magazine.

This is the wedding of an infectiously fun American/Persian couple based in Kuwait who decided to marry in the UK.

Not in London though; the bride had her heart set from a very early age on a classic (but with a twist) English country wedding and so to work we went. 

It had to be Oxfordshire and had to be a beautiful ivy-clad mansion house and well we just had to have a marquee.

Of course it wouldn’t have been an English wedding without rain which did mean that the outdoor ceremony (largely Persian in style, tradition and décor)  moved inside to the stunning Baronial Hall.

But it didn’t matter a jot as guests were able to enjoy some time outside enjoying drinks before heading into the most eye-poppingly colourful marquee design. 

Orange and lime green is not a colour palette that we immediately threw together but it worked beautifully from the pom pom lanterns to the matchbox favours and the bright sunny gerbera floral designs, to the carefully styled placement card table, not mentioning the tongue-in-cheek reference to Aladdin’s magic carpet in the design of the wedding cake.
