I work out of a gorgeous little converted cottage in centre of Gatley village where I make and sell boutique goods. I also do Weddings! Come over for a visit and check out our gorgeous selection of gifts, traditional sweets, ladies accessories and home decor - or pop in for a chat about styling, planning or supplying your wedding. I’m just down the little alley behind the Sadagar, look out for the pink sign!

There's something about a church aisle that no modern venue can quite replicate ⛪
That architecture, that light, that sense of occasion. Our job here was simply to honour it 🤍

White hydrangeas for softness. A draped floral arch to frame the altar. Sometimes the most powerful styling is knowing what not to add ✨

What would your dream aisle look like?

𝗥𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝘃𝘀 𝗟𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗧𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲𝘀 🍽️

Choosing your table layout? It's not just about fitting people in – it affects the entire vibe.

**𝗟𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗕𝗮𝗻𝗾𝘂𝗲𝘁 𝗧𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲𝘀:**
- More dramatic styling opportunities (runner down the center!)
- Creates community feel, everyone's connected
- Perfect for industrial warehouses and barns
- Better for cascading florals and statement pieces
- Guests chat across AND along the table
- Our fave for: Relaxed, festival-style weddings

**𝗥𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝗧𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲𝘀:**
- Classic, formal, traditional
- Better for venues with columns or awkward layouts
- Easier conversation (everyone faces center)
- Individual centerpieces make bigger impact
- Perfect for grand spaces like Stockport Town Hall
- Our fave for: Elegant, traditional celebrations

**𝗦𝘁𝘆𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗶𝗽:** Long tables need height variation (tall candles, low florals, medium elements). Round tables can go all one height or all varied.

What's your table vibe? 🤔

Planning your guest list? Here's how numbers affect your styling 👥

One of the first questions we ask: "How many guests?" Because it completely changes your styling approach. Here's what to consider:

𝗜𝗡𝗧𝗜𝗠𝗔𝗧𝗘 𝗪𝗘𝗗𝗗𝗜𝗡𝗚𝗦 (𝟮𝟬-𝟱𝟬 𝗴𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝘀):
- Every detail gets noticed – invest in quality over quantity
- More unusual venues become accessible
- Guests interact closely with your styling
- Perfect for intricate, delicate details
- Your styling budget goes further per person

𝗟𝗔𝗥𝗚𝗘 𝗪𝗘𝗗𝗗𝗜𝗡𝗚𝗦 (𝟴𝟬+ 𝗴𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝘀):
- Impact from a distance matters more
- Repetition creates visual cohesion (think matching centerpieces)
- You'll need bigger, bolder installations to fill the space
- Focus on dramatic focal points over tiny details
- Strategic budget allocation is key
- Simpler per-table styling works better

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗸𝗲𝘆 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲?
Small weddings let you go deep on detail. Large weddings need broad visual impact.
Neither is 'better' – just different styling strategies to make your celebration feel intentional and beautiful.

**𝗣𝗿𝗼 𝘁𝗶𝗽: Decide your guest count early, as it affects venue choice, styling budget, and overall design approach.

Two venues, one vision, and feedback that makes every late night completely worth it 🤍

Lisa and Paul trusted me to bring their day to life across both the town hall and the golf club, and getting to be part of something so special for them means everything.

Thank you both for trusting me with your day. Wishing you a lifetime of happiness 🕊️

𝗡𝗮𝗽𝗸𝗶𝗻𝘀: 𝗦𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗱𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗹, 𝗯𝗶𝗴 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 🍽️

Honestly? Napkins are one of the most underrated styling elements on a wedding table.

Here's what they can do:

𝗔𝗗𝗗 𝗖𝗢𝗟𝗢𝗥: A colored napkin on a white tablecloth instantly introduces your palette without overpowering.

𝗔𝗗𝗗 𝗧𝗘𝗫𝗧𝗨𝗥𝗘: Linen napkins feel elevated. Cotton feels clean and crisp. Both look beautiful for different reasons.

𝗔𝗗𝗗 𝗣𝗘𝗥𝗦𝗢𝗡𝗔𝗟𝗜𝗧𝗬: How a napkin is folded or styled says a lot. Simple and elegant. Relaxed and loose. Tied with ribbon or twine. Each tells a different story.

𝗙𝗥𝗔𝗠𝗘 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗣𝗟𝗔𝗖𝗘 𝗦𝗘𝗧𝗧𝗜𝗡𝗚: A well-styled napkin pulls the whole table setting together.

Such a small thing. Such a big impact 🌿

💅 👩‍🦱 While you're getting ready, sipping champagne, and doing your hair, here's what's happening at your venue:

𝗘𝗔𝗥𝗟𝗬 𝗠𝗢𝗥𝗡𝗜𝗡𝗚:
We arrive, assess the space, and get straight to work. No waiting around, no second-guessing. We've planned this setup meticulously.

𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗕𝗨𝗜𝗟𝗗:
Linens first. Then furniture placement. Then the layers of styling that bring everything to life. It's methodical, intentional, and oddly satisfying.

𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗗𝗘𝗧𝗔𝗜𝗟𝗦:
Every place card in the right spot. Every candle positioned precisely. Every floral arrangement exactly as designed. We don't rush this part.

𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗖𝗛𝗘𝗖𝗞𝗦:
We walk through the space multiple times. From the entrance. From the top table view. From a guest's perspective. Details look different from different angles.

𝗕𝗘𝗙𝗢𝗥𝗘 𝗪𝗘 𝗟𝗘𝗔𝗩𝗘:
A final check with your venue coordinator. Everything confirmed. Every detail signed off.

𝗪𝗛𝗘𝗡 𝗬𝗢𝗨 𝗔𝗥𝗥𝗜𝗩𝗘:
You walk in. You see it for the first time. That's our favourite moment of every single wedding.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂:
Enjoy your morning. Completely. We've got the venue.

That's what you hired us for 🥂

The most meaningful weddings we've styled have one thing in common: personal touches that tell the couple's story.

Here's how to weave sentimental details into your styling beautifully:

𝗙𝗔𝗠𝗜𝗟𝗬 𝗣𝗛𝗢𝗧𝗢𝗦
A display of your parents' and grandparents' wedding photos near the entrance. Guests love them. They always start conversations.

𝗠𝗘𝗔𝗡𝗜𝗡𝗚𝗙𝗨𝗟 𝗙𝗟𝗢𝗪𝗘𝗥𝗦
Your grandmother's favorite flower worked into your centerpieces. Your late father's buttonhole recreated in your bouquet. These details matter.

𝗛𝗘𝗜𝗥𝗟𝗢𝗢𝗠𝗦 𝗔𝗦 𝗗𝗘́𝗖𝗢𝗥
Vintage china passed down through the family used as bud vases. A grandmother's lace incorporated into your table runner. An old map of where you met framed as signage.

𝗠𝗘𝗠𝗢𝗥𝗬 𝗧𝗔𝗕𝗟𝗘
A beautiful, intentional display honoring those who couldn't be there. Done with care, it becomes one of the most visited spots in the room.

𝗬𝗢𝗨𝗥 𝗦𝗧𝗢𝗥𝗬
The café where you had your first date, the song playing when you met, the place you got engaged. These become table names, signage, personal details that make guests smile.

Is there a sentimental detail you're hoping to include? 🌿

Hire people you trust. Then actually trust them.

The couples who enjoy their wedding day most aren't the ones who controlled every detail until the final moment. They're the ones who built a great team and let them do their job.

Your photographer. Your caterer. Your stylist. Your florist. They've done this before. They want your day to be perfect just as much as you do.

Book good people. Communicate your vision clearly. Then let go and enjoy every single moment.

You'll never get this day back 🤍

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲: 𝗦𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲, 𝗯𝗶𝗴 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁 🎂

Your wedding cake gets its own table. That table gets photographed constantly. Yet it's often styled as an afterthought.

Here's how to make it work beautifully:

𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗧𝗔𝗕𝗟𝗘 𝗜𝗧𝗦𝗘𝗟𝗙:
Round or square, draped or wooden, the table style should complement your overall theme.

𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗚𝗢𝗘𝗦 𝗔𝗥𝗢𝗨𝗡𝗗 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗖𝗔𝗞𝗘:
- Fresh or faux florals that mirror your centerpieces
- Candles at varying heights for depth
- A small linen or runner beneath the cake stand
- Personal touches (framed photo, meaningful objects)

𝗛𝗘𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧 𝗠𝗔𝗧𝗧𝗘𝗥𝗦:
If your cake is low, raise it on a stand. The cake should be the star, not fighting for attention with everything around it.

𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗠𝗜𝗦𝗧𝗔𝗞𝗘:
A beautiful cake surrounded by nothing. It looks lost and unstaged.

𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗪𝗘 𝗟𝗢𝗩𝗘:
Treating the cake table like a miniature styled vignette. Everything around it tells the same story as the rest of your wedding.

Has your cake table been included in your styling plan? 🎂🥂 🎉
