Wedding Experience at Kent Showground, Detling

Well what a day of two halves...we had a sunny morning on our side of the pavilion, and a really chilly afternoon.  We also had a stand of two halves....vintage on one side and contemporary on the other, which gave a wide appeal.

Following the trend for vintage chic, we designed one side of the stand using muted colours, lace, multi-petalled flowers, old marmalade pots and tea tins, cut glass vases and birdcages.   Inspired by my love of buttons which came from my grandma's button box, we used buttons in bouquets, on the handles and sprinkled on the lace tablecloth....

Here are the bouquets from the vintage side....

...and the tablecentres.

And on the other side of our stand, we used purples, blacks and a hint of lime green as the colour palette.  We used more structural vases for tablecentres, incorporated wirework and used more exotic flowers. 

Here's the bouquets from the contemporary side...

...and the tablecentres.

We found most people preferred one side to the other, but I think the overall preference was a balanced one which we hadn't predicted.  Thanks to everyone for their lovely comments, and apologies to all the people we couldn't talk to as it was absolutely packed!
