At The Tab Venue, Austin Street, Shoreditch, London, E2 7NB

The creativity of Jez and Terence’s wedding day: they used a small suitcase as the ‘letterbox’ for the cards from guests and nicely styled easels at the entry to display the order of their day. Once every one was seated they brought the easels to the front of the room next to the stage. They hung many delicate banners above the tables and as centrepieces they placed vases with flowers and fairy light lit wine bottles. On top of the plates they laid out their menu, embroidered napkins and place cards.

The wedding cake was a naked victoria sponge with edible flowers. It was placed on the stage as a focus point, surrounded by flowers.

In MC Motors you can decorate as you want. Beer bottles has been used as flowers pot, the greenery to decorate the centre of the table, the cutlery has been put in a jar, the napkins and a branch of rosemary were knotted by a rope with a cordon having the name of the guest for the placement with a branch and we put a candle on the table.

These objects have helped to do a rustic decoration. The menu has been written on the venue chalkboard, we used a greenery to decorate the venue, the cake has been displayed on the piano with wedding photos of each generation.

Thanks from the brides :

“We just wanted to say a MASSIVE thank you for Saturday. Everything was just as we’d hoped and it all ran so smoothly that I actually managed to let go of control and enjoy the day (something that I’m not very good at!) The tables looked beautiful, all our guests commented on how fantastic the food and drink was and it just ran like clockwork.

Thank you also for packing everything up for us to collect on Sunday morning – that was completely brilliant.”

At MC Motors, Wedding Venue : 28 Millers Avenue, Dalston, E8 2DS

MC Motors is the perfect venue to get creative with! LED candles were placed all over the venue to create a warm ambiance. Feather pens & notepads were left next to a little letterbox on a rustic table for guests to leave written messages. A chalkboard board displayed where the guests could find their seats. Wine bottles had stick candles inside, chic vases with animal faces brought character to the flower bouquets, little gold animals speckled the tables and an additional small flower vase finished the spectacle off.

At Ecology Pavilion Wedding Venue : Haverfield Road off Grove Road, London E3 5TW

Avi and Emma had elegant, crafty decorations. They used flowers and wooden hearts to decorate the venue’s columns and orange festoon lights on the walls.

The tables had a goregous pop of colour from the hanging orange and burgundy napkins which they alternated between each guest’s seat.  As a surprise for the guests, the placecards were on top of little gift boxes which held a favour for them. Each table’s centrepiece had a vase of flowers placed on top of a wooden board, fine gin bottles and a little recipe.
