19th September 2009 - Addington Palace - On the Day Co-ordination

We had a fantastic co-ordination day at Addington Palace on Saturday complete with lovely sky lanterns. For this wedding we co-ordinated the day and also did the flowers aswell as the Wedding Cars. Everything went according to plan apart from a lost panel of a dress which we magicked from an interesting place and a rather unsturdy cake which we managed to reassemble for pictures so that there were no problems with the cake during the meal.

I also met a chimney sweep for the first time at a wedding this was an old tradition and this gentleman also brought his lucky black cat for effect. He was fully trained to stay on his shoulder and pose for pictures aswell. This is a tradition that goes back 200 years, it was considered lucky to see a sweep on your big day and considered to bestow good luck and happiness upon you.

All went well, Elizabeth and Paul were a lovely couple to work with enjoy Sri lanka well done on the first dance and make sure you show us the pictures when you return.

18th September - Cooling Castle Barn an on the Day Co-ordination and Chair covers

On friday we did a fabulous On the Day Co-ordination at Cooling Castle Barn which goes down as being one of my favourite venues for sheer excellence. It is a personal venue which is sooo flexible. It has a ceremony room permanently set up inside incase of rain, my clients were lucky to have perfect sunshine for their ceremony, followed by a hog roast later. The venue is a lovely stunning barn setting for a wedding which creates a lovely atmosphere. The staff are so helpful and accommodating, one to look at if you are looking to get hitched in kent for sure. It also has lovely photo opportunities, and Jules Holland lives next door how cool is that??

18th September - Tiffany Blue Theme Brandshatch Place

We like the brandshatch place reception room as it is quite a blank canvas. For this wedding we provided hurricane lamps, chair covers, and the candleabra centrepeices.
