A Woodland wonderland wedding fayre
Such a success!
Well, what a beautiful autumnal fayre we had, the house and Gillyflower were decorated to perfection in both a wild and whimsical woodland theme, and a modern, structured neon explosion; the most beautiful balance of natural and fun which summed us up flawlessly.
Some of our absolute favourite suppliers and friends gathered to show us all how stunning autumnal weddings can be, along with a gang of the best wedding photographers known to man, who very kindly documented the day- thank you so much to Nikki Cooper, Rob Tarren and Laura Power! Here’s some of the inspiration they captured on film...
Rebel & The Rose and Hollie Freeland styling teamed up to create a beautiful modern entrance on the steps...
Inside the house
Rebel & The Rose, Hollie Freeland and Lovestruck creative pulled off the ultimate 'old meets new' wedding tablescape in the drawing room. Neon pink, tropical leaves and acrylic wedding menus looked surprisingly at home against our backdrop of ancient ancestors...
Drinks flowed (delicious autumnal prosecco with berries and flavoured gin!) and Emerald paper design looked very cosy painting beautiful watercolours in the corner.
I licked you so you're mine
Lovestruck creative's fabulous bespoke neon sign went down a treat, Adele made sure everyone knew it really was 'licked' not 'picked' by remaining there with her tongue out for the duration (no not really)
We were so honoured to have Abi Phillips playing us all down the aisle! What a voice...
Nero String Quartet were back with their emotive string soundscapes, didn't they blend beautifully and time themselves wonderfully with Abi?
Shibumi
Upstairs the beautiful Ruth (Another Guise!) laid out a rainbow of soft cashmere and shimmering silks
Sadly none of our photographer friends seemed to step foot in the smoking room to find the beautiful dresses by My Eden, they were something to behold.
The Coach House
The sun came out and shone warmly through the coach house windows putting a spotlight on Cotswolds Spa and her fantastic prize draw... Did you enter? We'd love to know who won!
Amber Persia
As soon as you stepped foot in The Gillyflower the explosion of flowers and foliage by the incredible Amber Persia was apparent...
But the stunning autumnal feast for the eyes didn't stop, with endless flowers, berries and autumn fruit, and hundreds of candles.
Thank you Amber Persia, what a transformation!!
My Baking chick's delicious macaroons and beautiful wedding cake fused beautifully with the autumnal banquet...
Gillyflower fun
We had some fantastic entertainment to keep us amused throughout the day including Darren Campbell, The LBJBs and Luke Nukem on the decks...
Gillyflower meadow
Outside despite missing the Silver trailer photobooth and earth events, the show went on with delicious street food by Box Fresh and Pizza Monkey, fun and games by Every Event Hire and sublime hygge styling by Wedding Creations UK.
New Elmore Canapes
Throughout the day we were testing out some of our very best new canapes from our brand new menus, they went really quickly each time so we're guessing you enjoyed them! Which were your favourites?
Team E loves you
As has become traditional we ended the day with a group shot, and we think this one is the best yet... You're a star Rob!
What did you think? Did we convince you to have an Autumn wedding? Did you work out which room to put which guest in? We love hosting you all so much we might just have to do it again soon... Watch this space.
Lots of Love,
Team E x
