Cutture specialise in bespoke designs and they are forever coming up with new concepts and working with clients on unique products that involve using their laser cutting machine.

Here are just a few examples that they have produced recently.  I particularly like the perspex menu card for a stylish and contemporary table setting in say a trendy City venue. I’ve seen a few perspex cut products in the past and always been a bit unconvinced but with the right design and expert cutting, they really are show-stoppers!

It was important to Amanda and Merrill to design a really special marriage ceremony and lots of attention was paid to each aspect of the ceremony to thrill and warm the hearts of their guests in everyway from sight to smell to sound.

There was a stunning and luscious central arch built painstakingly by the talented team at Hybrid Flowers accompanied by other freestanding and ledge-top arrangements elegantly lined up along the aisle.

The Kingdom Choir were a huge hit as they sung Amanda in to ‘Songbird’, and hailed the happy couple to ‘Signed, Sealed, Delivered’ naturally!

A symbolic unity candle was lit by the couple from individual candles lit by both the bride and groom’s mothers to signify the coming together of two familes into one.

Flowers and elegant detailing were a huge part of this warm winter wedding and we’ll show much more on that in a future post.

Thanks to White Gold Weddings for the use of these images.

We love our new home which is very handy for access to our many country weddings, but don’t fear, we will still regularly be seen “in town”. I’m a Londoner who absolutely loves the city so I won’t be kept away for long periods!

For today however we will definitely be staying office-bound with 5 inches of snow to be admired from our office window.

Revised contact details will be appearing on our website soon but old address and phone are still operational.

We’ll be back in the office from 4 January!

Mark seems to be enjoying greeting his guests at the church in Chiswick.

 Rachel and her father arrive in the immaculate silver/grey Rolls Royce Phantom.

London’s renowned Elysian Singers were especially hired to perform during the ceremony as Rachel has a love of amazing choral music.

The marriage was sealed with a kiss.

We hired a red routemaster (with personalised blinds) to whisk the guests out of London to the reception at Great Fosters, Surrey.

 And no journey is complete without some liquid refreshment.

And next time, we’ll be covering the reception, design and details.

 Thank you to  Lloyd Dobbie Photography  for capturing the day so well.

It comes in handy for all sorts of little last minute touches which make a big difference. We therefore find ourselves a little addicted to ribbons and love some of the offerings on one of our favourite sites Cox and Cox. Their spools of ‘Luxembourg Ribbon’ in delicate shades of pink, sage green, ivory and chocolate are lovely to wrap around napkins, or decorate glasses with pretty little bows. We also really like the ‘To Have and To Hold Ribbon’ made in soft ivory and old rose pink; it’s great for tying around flowers or special gifts.

And if you’re ribbon addicts like us (and are based in London) you might like to drop by Barnett Lawson. It’s a little gem of a place and a real treasure trove full to the brim with ribbons and trimmings galore.
