Literally one of the best perks of having this little company is the joy from seeing the professional pictures of our props set up and looking rad in their full wedding setting. It’s just the best.
These detail shots are from a late September wedding by JMA photography at Waxham Great Barn near the cost in South Norfolk.

The table decor was a mix of bright florals by Swaffham Florists who filled our vintage brass vessels and bowls with a mix of seasonal flowers and succulents. Mixed with pineapples and retro travel postcards this rocked. You might just spy the off loose antler too. Ecclectic table props at its best.

The ceremony saw our indoor wooden arch with popping pink blooms and an aisle with persian pink rugs finished the look. I adore this against the soft textural barn brick walls.

Our drinks station with striped straws added some fun to the welcome drinks and we helped with some hand written signage for the welcome and order of the day too.

The awesome light up signs are by The Vintage Wedding sign company, who we’re also the bride and groom! Huge congrats to Nadine and Andrew, hope you are both loving married life.

Does this wedding float your boat? Are you throwing the rule book out the window for the ultimate in relaxed wedding decor?

AUTUMNAL WEDDING INSPIRATION AT GODWICK GREAT BARN.

barn-wedding-venues-in-norfolk-godwick-great-barn-wedding-80

So many of you will know my connection with Godwick Barn from past posts. I work there as one of their wedding planners as well as running LL, I’m super lucky to call this beautiful barn my work place. When James the owner of Godwick started planning his own wedding there in October last year I was so thrilled and excited to be a part of the day. Some of our little lends we’re taken to the barn on the set up day and I helped Aimee, the lovely Bride-to-be, with a few details.

This wedding is full of beautiful autumnal barn inspiration, seasonal colours, blooms and food. Wonderfully rustic and relaxed, the barn really hasn’t looked better. From the wooden tables to the trailing foliage and modern calligraphy signage this wedding was always going to steal my heart.
I just adore the colour mixes, the bright red berries with rich forrest green foliages and lots of berry tones against white highlights. These colours coupled with the midnight navy blue bridesmaids dresses and gents in traditional tweed is such a fab way of working with the natural seasonal tones for an Autumn celebration.

So many stunning details, I’m sure you’ll enjoy this….

IN-HOUSE STYLING WITH GODWICK GREAT BARN.

So I am totally buzzing about a new partnership with one of my absolute favourite Norfolk barns, Godwick Great Barn. Many of you may know I already work at Godwick as one of their freelance wedding planners and adore the barn and all its majesty, I’m really rather lucky to call it my work place. I love working with newly engaged couples, helping them along with their wedding planning journey so I can’t wait to take on an additional role as ‘Godwick Barns in-house styling consultant.’

I’m kind of obsessed with decor and with all those little styling details that make weddings so personal to each couple. I’m really excited to be able to offer Godwick couples an initial venue styling consultation when they first book the barn to talk all things wedding style for the best part of an hour. Couples can use it as a chance to find out how to make the most of the space and start thinking about what they want to achieve with their wedding decor.

I love finding out what makes a couple tick, their loves and life together that might inspire how they transform the barn. It can be a little daunting at the start of planning when faced with a big blank space, all be it a very beautiful one, so a little guidance of what works and what’s gone before can really get the creative ideas swirling.

If you’re a new Godwick couple I look forward to meeting you really soon, come loaded with any ideas, Pinspirations and anything you both love.

INTIMATE CHAUCER BARN MID-SUMMER WEDDING.

Oh summer, I cannot wait to see you again. Mostly because we get to help set up and style more Norfolk weddings. It’s going to be fab.
We loved meeting and helping set up Julie and Matthews intimate pretty, pastel wedding at Chaucer Barn with our ‘Lend-a-hand‘ set up package in North Norfolk last summer.

Here’s what Julie had to say about us lending-a-hand.

“I loved thinking about the wedding and had an idea in my mind of how I wanted it to be, but I hated not knowing how to achieve it! Penny helped with this no end, both when we visited her to look at her collection of lends and when she lent a hand the day before to set everything up. She knew Chaucer Barn well so could visualise where we could put things and how much space there was and where etc.”

“I thought of our wedding as classy traditional, with a touch of modern vintage (if you know what I mean!). Lots of hessian and lace. If you have a vision but, like me, aren’t sure how to bring it to fruition, then I’d absolutely recommend chatting to Penny about your ideas and she is so unbelievably creative and can add so many brilliant ideas!”

“The lend-a-hand set up took the pressure off and helped me to get super excited about the venue! Penny really helped bring the wedding to life and I was so impressed by how out of her way she went to intertwine the things we had hired from her with the bits and pieces I’d sourced myself.”
