A Vintage Wedding

We had a wonderful day at Pipewell Hall, Northamptonshire styling a truly Vintage Wedding. Pipewell Hall is a romantic seventeenth century mansion set in beautiful countryside and  offers a very individual wedding experience. The Hall and grounds can be hired exclusively and following our inspiring day is well worth a visit!

Your wedding is probably one of the biggest events you will ever plan, the responsibility is sometimes daunting. Surround yourself with people who share your vision to help your day run smoothly. We had a great team to work with on the day and pay tribute to them below, if you want people you can trust on your wedding day then we recommend you give them a call!

The Styling was kept very natural, we used a classic 1950's Tandem bike (available to hire on the hire page) and filled the basket with hydrangeas and the crate with wedding fans (wedding fans can be found on the accessories page). 

Vintage suitcases are a clever way to add interest, here we filled them with flowers but they also work well filled with wedding cards or just stacked in a corner.

Wedding fans are a lovely way to pass on details about the day to your guests. For Will & Chloe's fans we added a Timeline of the day to the back with their names and date to the front.

Drinks dispensers are the perfect way to draw all your guests together for cocktails. Two or three large drinks dispensers side by side will take less re-filling and give you the opportunity to add a variety of cocktails and colour. We displayed the drinks dispensers on a painted dressing table, also available on the hire page. We have a large variety of drinks dispensers.

Hanging pink and white tissue pom poms from the trees adds an element of fun

Hanging jam jars from shepherd hooks for an easy way to add floral decoration to a large area. Shepherd hooks can be found on the hire page

Jam jar cocktail glasses are a lot of fun, we added each guests name to a tag tied to the jar with simple twine.

We used antique keys with pretty tags tied with a pink ribbon. 100 beautiful antique keys laid out each with a printed tag is a thing of beauty. Your guests find their name and 'Unlock the Key to their seat'. 
Nerissa Eve has a vast collection of antique keys available for hire to help you spread your wedding costs.

The table setting was kept traditional with chrome candelabras dressed at the base with seasonal flowers and thistle, mercury candle holders and mercury tea-lights kept the look light and we used a selection of our mis-matched vintage crockery as vases. The overall effect was very pretty.

We used one of our hand carved oak swings to add some outdoor fun and create the perfect photo opportunity

Hand carved and hand painted signs really add to the vintage theme. The sign post can also be hired, it is a really useful way to display all your wedding signs.

We designed a Liquid chalk board with the wedding breakfast menu

Pipewell Hall has a fabulous lake in its ground, with the house as a backdrop this is a lovely photo opportunity. The lanterns framing the pier bring the whole look together.

The Bridal Bouquet matched the theme perfectly, lovely seasonal flowers with natural ferns and thistle.

Hanging a crystal chandelier outside in the trees is a lovely way to set a scene. We used vintage lampshades but we also supply the chandelier without the lampshades. Styling an outdoor tea party for the Bride and Groom for a bit of fun.
