Picnics-

I’m claiming 2022 as the year of the party! The year we catch up properly with friends and family. Just on our house we have big birthdays, big anniversaries and christenings to celebrate! Not to mention the Queens Jubilee and an extra long bank holiday!

The picnic enquiries are coming in fast and the setups are perfect for those garden celebrations. The hen dos, the romantic evenings, the gatherings with friends!

I also colab with @nikkitapdesigns_hire for bigger hire orders and @thebountifultable for all things food grazing!

Hi there!

I’ve had a lot of new followers lately and thought I would pop on and say hi and thank you for coming to my corner of Instagram.

I am currently on maternity leave, enjoying a slower pace of life. Even if my out of office keeps turning itself off!

Instead of telling you some facts about myself I thought I would share some of my dreams, put them out there into the universe and see what comes back.

I would love to have my work appear in Vogue and not pay for it! Ever since I was a teenager Vogue was my bible I kept every addition until I moved house and couldn’t take my library with me. Their fashion editorials have always been a huge source of inspiration!

I would like to publish a book, I’ve got a couple of ideas and I am definitely thinking something photo heavy. I have written a couple of help guides that I need to get out into the world but they keep getting pushed to the back of the to do list.

I would love to see a tiger in the wild, a childhood dream I still hold dear.

What are your dreams?

Ceremony Spaces-⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀

Ceremony Spaces-⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
One of my top tips for couples when it comes to a ceremony space is to think about something to frame you. It can be a back drop, an arch or a display on either side. Don’t make it to small that the space becomes cramped, or to big that you become lost in it. Creating a focal point will help stand you out from the background, look amazing in photos and perfectly end the aisle.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Just a little reminder I am on maternity leave until June and after that only have a few key weekend dates left. So please don’t delay getting in touch. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

That happened right?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As I look forward to 2022 and start making plans for this years weddings. The craziness of 2021 seems so far away! Remember when it was actual government policy that guests at weddings had to be seated to be able to have a drink? So many last minute changes were made, extra seating drafted in, table plans for so many of last years weddings changed on a daily basis in the run up to a wedding as the rules were ever changing!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We created this lounge area for S&A, with furniture drafted in from @nikkitapdesigns_hire we managed to seat 80+ guests for their drinks reception whilst we turned the room around next door. We added drapes from the beams of barn to help soften and lighten the space.

Tablescape-

You guys loved the table plan I shared earlier this week so it would be rude not to share more of this stunning wedding. S & A hired for their tables white chiffon table runners, brass candle sticks, glass tealights, and brass edge frame table numbers. On the day @ivyandjones.eventstyling and I were on hand to set it all up and turn the room around following the ceremony with the help of the phenomenal Karin from @strattoncourtbarn (you have never seen a woman setup 6ft heavy trestle tables so quickly!)

Table Plans-

2021 was the year of the table plan over here. Every one was different, everyone incorporated elements of the couples day so was entirely unique to them! This one for S & A used blooms from @theflowerstory and was a burst of colour as guests entered @strattoncourtbarn

Thanks for sharing the pics @storyandcolour

Christmas Countdown-

Christmas is my favourite time of year! I love the build up, the sense of anticipation! I must confess I think I prefer Christmas Eve to Christmas Day. The excitement in this house is off the scale, tomorrow we bake, we sing carols and we sip champagne!

I loved creating this Christmas door for @chicheley_hall, here’s to it being the first of many! It was definitely a challenge creating this at 38 weeks pregnant and huge thanks to @tytheflowers and @ivyandjones.eventstyling for being my right hand women!

Festive Feels-⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Real wedding inspiration on the grid today with this festive December wedding. A & M had a full design plan and I worked with @flowers_at_fifty_eight and @harness_and_co to create a vision that was full of candle light and fairy light. As the sun set and the light changed the clear span came alive and the hanging greenery installation full of tealights and disco balls became more and more dramatic.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I love a winter wedding!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Real Wedding Feature -
This most gorgeous real wedding is live on @rockmywedding today. Kathleen & Adam were married in the grounds of her family home, with clear span marque and lots of DIY touches. Hired from me were pieces of boho furniture, geo lanterns, Persian rugs, jute rugs, brass candle sticks, chalkboards and copper frames. I love seeing how these pieces were mixed into Kathleen and Adams vision. This was a seriously creative couple! Kathleen even made her stunning dress!

Newest Team Member-

I’ve been pretty quiet this past week and I cancelled all my social media posts. I wanted a real break away to be fully indulged in this little one. Welcome to the newest TWE crew member Eliza. Promptly arriving 1 minute into her due date. She’s feisty & strong willed so will fit right in!

Christmas Table Styling-

Who goes all out on their Christmas table styling? I’m not going to lie I love a full table packed full of detail, place names are always a must! Last year I went all out on styling a table as it was just the 3 of us so loads of room to get creative. Now I just need a bigger kitchen to be able to have all the veg displayed and styled like the table 😂

I loved styling this Christmas campaign for @crafteditions. Shot by @fionakphotos

Maternity Leave-

The out of office is on! The social media is scheduled and whilst I’m not as prepped on the admin as I would have liked, at 39 weeks it is time to step away for a while. I have pushed my body to breaking point & my brain has become less and less able to process more than one job at a time. I am so relieved I got this far, that the weekends wedding was amazing and baby did not make an early appearance.

I don’t think when you are self employed it’s ever easy to have a maternity break, especially in this industry where the FOMO impulse is so strong. But I am so looking forward to being forced to slow down for a little while. I have got an awesome team of freelancers representing TWE over the next few weeks and months so I know the business is in good hands. Email responses will be minimal until 12th Jan when someone will be regularly checking in. If anything is urgent please just holla, I’m never far away!

1st December!

Which means it’s the start of my favourite month of the year and I can now start spamming you with Christmas content!

So excited to share this tablescape with you, shot as part of @crafteditions Christmas campaign. I love styling for brands.

This is me- I haven’t shown my face for a while

This is me-

I haven’t shown my face for a while so thought I should come on and say hi! This is me doing what I love, finishing off a grazing table at @holdenbyhouse ready to be filled with cold meats and breads. This was the last wedding of my 4 wedding weekend and I’m still smiling, my hair may have gone a bit mad, my makeup non existent, my feet sore but honestly that was one of the best and proudest weekends of the year!

So a few interesting facts about me, I used to be a fashion designer before embarking on this crazy venue stylist journey. I’m currently obsessed with biscuits! I’m happiest by the sea side, watching the waves chills me out! The White Emporium is having a rebrand and I can’t wait to take this next step with the business!

Thanks for capturing me @terriloriphoto

Friday- ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Where the hell has this week gone? From juggling a poorly child to an exciting install at Chicheley Hall I feel like I have accomplished zero off my to do list!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My inbox is bouncing this week with so many real wedding galleries so huge thanks to all the photographer pros and my couples who have been kind enough to send me some⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
imagery to use! Next week I will be on the social media scheduling and swooning through all the amazing galleries! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This year saw my first ever visit to @kingscollegedining for the wedding of E&J. The main hall is stunningly dramatic and I worked with E&J to collate a gorgeously elegant setting to really showcase the venue and them as a couple. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As well as booking my design plan services they also hired all the glass candle sticks, blush pink table runners, window mirror table plan, wooden plinths, signage, lanterns, glass cylinders with faux candles and loads more. This was one of those weddings when you opened the door and just went wow! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Happy Monday-

Ever have those days when things don’t quite go to plan? Meaning the rest of the week looks a little precarious? Yep that is today!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’ve heard a few people talking about snow as well which I love but need to hold off a couple of weeks! So when I was scrolling through my phone trying to delete some of the 15,800 photos I have this pic seemed like the perfect pick me up to share!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Dreamy picnic styling and the most amazing cake! Also seriously listing after the garden candles!

TWE supplied rugs, cushions pouffes and rattan furniture. All available to hire on their own or as part of a styling package.

Hire Guide-

I’ve been updating my hire inventory guide and it should be all good to go tomorrow! Hands up who wants a full PDF of my hire collection? The website is a good place to go as well but it’s having a revamp and will be relaunched next summer so in the meantime my hire inventory is the best place to go for all the inspo!

Drop me a message if you would like a hire inventory guide emailed over?
