Abbey is off to see her reception venue this week. The venue is a beautiful old country house with exposed brick walls. I’m really excited about the venue as it suits Abbey and is a blank canvas to work with!

Abbey has also chosen her invitations this week- a lovely soft gold design with a slight handmade feel which will suit her wedding perfectly. She’s ordered her favourite flower- the frangipani in silk bouquets.

For Abbey’s wedding I envisage the room filled with candles- a neutral canvas with touches of green. Sheaves of wheat, spring colours, handmade touches and a feeling of a spring country celebration. The scent of fresh blooms and comfort food, light soft jazz in the background and a definite feeling of love in the air!

Guests to arrive at the church on a sunny afternoon, to be handed beautifully designed booklets and bubbles.

Here’s a little inspiration for Abbey….
