venue stylist | the little lending company

The Summer season is beginning to now ease off for us so it’s time to start sharing a bit more of the ‘incredible Summer of 2016’ (this is what it shall now be known as! Starting with this totally epic day captured by Mr Phill photography, who I think I have a slightly obsessive photography crush on…

This wedding was all about the details, when the Laura the bride got in touch for me to help style the barn with her I was so excited. A totally new venue for me and after a 2 hour venue walk round meeting we had some big plans and ideas. Laura was a true DIY bride and nothing was too big a project, from the dozens of little origami birds behind the cake to the hand painted terracotta pots on the tables and of course that hand written paper table plan…I arrived on the day and was already in awe!

Please enjoy these images of a wedding that I adored being a part of, I have such great memories of the set up day spent with Laura and Tim’s family and friends. I dabbled at floristry with market and garden grown flowers and had a ball setting up props; from the lit up hanging ladder for the sweets, the macrame backdrop behind the band, the boho corner…it was all just so me. I may not say it enough when I’m inundated with hire to wash and pack and an overflowing inbox, but I love what I do.

The stylist in me gets so, so excited when creative photoshoot opportunities arise looking for rustic and alternative touches. You might have noticed how busy we’re been over the past few months on our Instagram, not just with shoots that we have created and styled to share our inspiration with you guys but with commercial shoots too. Just this week we had the BEST day setting up a rustic chic Xmas set for a magazine, I mean wow! More on that soon…

I’ve been so enjoying developing my creative eye on other shoots with businesses and venues too. Back in July, we we’re over at Godwick Great Barn adding a few ‘finishing touches’ to their stunning new ‘Schlamping huts.’ (A conglomeration of glamping, champers and shepherds!) Alongside Constance Roses’ beautiful blooms we added just a little pretty from the range, rolled up our vintage bike and did a little hand written signage.

You can read more about these fab huts over on Coco Wedding Venues blog. And, if you’re looking for unique accommodation for a couple of nights, Godwick’s Schlamping huts offer just that in the midst of peaceful Norfolk countryside.
