Caitlin & Jeff's Wedding - 9th July 2010

Congratulations to Caitlin & Jeff who celebrated their marriage at Ringwood Hall Hotel on Friday. Their guests made the most of what was one of the hottest days of the year whilst the chocolate fountain and white chocolate cake tried their best not to melt!!
Caitlin & Jeff took advantage of an On-The-Day Coordination package, handing all their arrangements over to me two months before their big day so they could relax and enjoy the run up whilst I liaised with the venue and suppliers to ensure everything was set for a perfect day.
The highlight of the day for me was definitely the ceremony taking place outside, although we did have a room set up ready inside the hotel just in case!!
Here are some photos I took during the set up, the official photographers taken by Chris Saunders from Now Then Photography will be uploaded onto my gallery pages soon.
The 96 napkins that I rolled and decorated. Simple but affective.
Gorgeous flowers by Orchis Floral Design and chair covers with green sashes from All Seated
Delicious whits chocolate cake by The Cake Booth and Chocolate Fountain by Mirage (Lisa from Mirage pictured below)
Congratulations to Caitlin & Jeff, it was a pleasure to be part of your day. Lisa x

Nafeesa & Paul's Wedding - 4th July 2010

Their wedding day on the 4th of July 2010 was actually seven years to the day that Nafeesa & Paul started dating! So a very special anniversary in more ways than one.
Nafeesa & Paul live in Canada and decided to return to their hometown of Derby to celebrate their marriage, they first got in touch with me about eighteen months ago to begin planning their big day, starting with a venue search and after I suggested numerous options they set their heart on Shottle Hall Country House Hotel, and who could blame them, It's beautiful! Back in Canada, they put the rest of their wedding plans into my capable hands, through many emails it all came together in time for their return to the UK a month before the wedding where we finalised all the details.
It was an absolute pleasure working on behalf of Nafeesa & Paul, their day was perfect! I wish them all the best for their future as they head back to Canada to enjoy married life!
Here are a few photos I took during the set-up on the morning of their wedding. Together we had decided upon the dramatic and modern colour scheme and I was so pleased with how everything came together!
