Vintage Typewriter | the little lending company

Back in August we were asked by the gorgeous Emma at Coco wedding Venues with her rather fabulous wedding blog to style feature that was right up our alley. ’15 Rustic Wedding styling tips.’ Of Course I jumped at the chance and couldn’t wait for a day setting up our wares at Godwick Great Barn in the middle of the Norfolk countryside.

The beautiful barn backdrop and remote setting was a rustic prop hire companies dream space. We asked Summer Love Photography to take all these stunning photos and The Country Garden Florist to bring along her fresh florals to help us pretty the props. A big thanks to Rose and Glory Cake company too for the dove grey stacked cake.

There is never just one idea for our props, and we’re all about thinking outside that styling box for new and exciting ways to use our timeless treasures. From our much loved vintage bike to our working typewriters there’s sure to be something to inspire your styling for all those relaxed wedding venues you’ve chosen. Filling cubby holes with old storm lanterns to troughs stashing your favours, cute crates filled with blankets to DIY tipi’s topped with antlers and foliage…I’m going to let the pictures do the talking.

Be sure to read our top tips on Coco Wedding Venues for styling your barns, meadows, paddocks and tipis with our array of informal decor that will really nail that laid-back look…

We’ll we’re heading straight for it. Love it or have it, there is just no escaping Valentines Day.

Each year there seem to be more cards, chocs and flowers filling the shop floors to shower our loved ones our affection. But I’m stepping away from all that and looking at the beauty of the written word to let my favourite know just how much he means to me.

I wrote a poem on the inside of his wedding day card and thought about every word and line to really tell him how I felt. Is there anything better to evoke emotion than a heart-felt poem to show you care?

I came accross a wonderful poet who’s use of words in his short poems and Haikus I really connected with. Tyler Knott Gregson.
It was his typewriter series that I loved, taking just a few minuites a day to type on his antique typewriter onto any scrap piece of paper lying around; an envelope, a ripped book and even monopoly money. And he hasn’t missed a day since starting.

Knott Gregson says ‘I love words more than any other art form. I think it’s the fact that everyone is given the same 26 letters and that all creativity comes from putting them together in different ways, forming them together in ways that feel beautiful or feel ugly or feel however you are trying to portray them feeling.’

He writes mainly about love and his reasons for it – ‘I think, and always have thought, that love is the reason we’re here. I think it’s the answer to the question as to why we are what we are. All kinds of love, romantic, platonic, familial, whatever, to give out love without any regard on getting it back…it’s the reason.’
