As you know, we had the honour of providing covers at Eynsham Hall for the TV show Brides on A Bus, showing on WeddingTV.  Next week, the Eynsham Hall episode will be screened!...If you have the time, do try and catch it!!  Eynsham Hall is one of the loveliest wedding venues in Oxfordshire, so it will be a good chance to see the grandeur of the place, even without visiting it!

We are back from holiday and the office is open again after closing for a week!  Tough getting back into the swing of things again, when we spent nearly every day on a beach in hot, hot weather!!  But heh!..must get back into it!..and so we did!..with a lovely purple wedding at the Randolph the other weekend!  The bride chose a gorgeous dark purple colour, which looked lovely in the room!  I love the colour purple!...and it seems to be a popular colour choice this year!..(along with pink, which is always seems to be popular!)

 

Just wanted to mention the Eynsham Hall wedding fair on Sun 28th!  I think there are afew wedding fairs going on the same day, but if you do have time to visit, please do have a wander around!  Even for a little stroll round the gardens for those not getting married!  The weather was quite pleasant today, so am hoping it will be the same tomorrow!  There will be stunning floral arrangements by Melanie at Faith in Flowers based in Witney too!  Lovely lady, and she does gorgeous table arrangements, that we've seen at afew weddings!
If you have time to visit Eynsham Hall, it's Sun 28th Feb from 11am-4pm.  Have a lovely day!...

Last weekend, we also have the privilege to cover a wedding at Phyllis Court.  The bride chose crystal organza chair wraps, and the room just looked lovely!...shame the florist hadn't yet delivered her flowers at that time, but the room looks so pretty, just with the twinkly fairy lights!  I love fairy lights!...lighting really does add ambience to a large room!...and gives it that extra special touch, especially when the evening draws
in!  Another lovely wedding!...

On a much happier note!...Wedding TV has confirmed that the new series called Bride on a Bus will be aired from Monday 15th February 2010!  Catch the first episode to see what it's about!


We were so thrilled to have been asked by Eynsham Hall to provide our chair covers for the day!  It was fun to see the room transform into something stunning!...You should see the floral arrangements by Riche De Fleur!  Very modern and definately provided that WOW factor!

Now I don't usually get mad, but when I do...I feel the need to let it out!!  (Better than keeping it in right!?)
I had the misfortune of coming across a new start up chair cover company, who is basically using some dirty tactics to get themselves some business!! Now, I have no problem with more competition- far from it! But the way this other company are going about it....in my opinion, is totally underhand!  I won't go into details of who they are, though I believe they are based in Thame......but let's just say, should our paths cross in the future, they will not be receiving a warm welcome from me or my team!!  Personally, I don't rate highly of companies who don't even have any of their own work to show on their website- yet claim they are the preferred suppliers to most wedding venues!? Clearly something not quite adding up there!!  But that's just me!

Really- sometimes it shocks me just how low people will go, to better themselves!?  Now I truly know the meaning of "its a dog-eat-dog world"!!

Rant over!....I think I need a cuppa tea and some chocolate.  (Breathe...and now count to 10.....)

And so the wedding fair season begins again!...This time kicking off at Eynsham Hall, which is one of the nicest venues in Oxfordshire. There were alot of new brides coming through today, very busy generally all day...and I hope everyone found something for their wedding!!
I always enjoy taking part in wedding fairs, as it's a chance to meet the brides in person, and also lovely to catch up with other suppliers in the business!..(esp the cake people, as they always have cake tasters for us to sample!! Yum!!)  Unfortunately, I totally forgot to take any pics, because it was so busy!....but if we do another fair later in the year, I will make sure to take some to show you how a day at a wedding fair progresses!

Will be possibly doing another wedding fair at some point....so please come back and check for details!
 

Another year has gone!...doesn't time fly when you're having fun!?  I can't believe we have now moved into a new decade!  It doesn't seem that long ago when I finished uni, but that was now 9 years ago!!...and now married with a little monster- oops...I mean angel!!  I hope everyone had a fantastic christmas break and saw in the year new in style, whether in a pub or indoors!

We had our annual Secret Santa giving amongst my closest friends just before christmas, and I was totally stuck for ideas as to what to buy for my "receiver"!  But I knew my friend had a sweet tooth, and never turns down a pretty cake!...so I asked Cathy at The Cupcake Baker to create me afew cupcakes as her Secret Santa gift! The cupcakes smelt delicious (was very tempted to eat one but had to hold back!!!)...and were a mixture of chocolate and vanilla cupcakes, with christmassy coloured icings!! So gorgeous!!! Anyway, basically they went down extremely well!....and unsurprisingly, she guessed who had arranged these little delights, as it was "so me" apparently!  I am so predictable.....but I do love a good cake! :-)  Here's a pic of the cakes!....and a definate thumbs up!

Had a fantastic birthday celebration at the weekend at Oxford's new Roof Top Restaurant at the Ashmolean Museum!W: www.ashmoleandiningroom.com
Food was delicious and the interior decor of the restaurant was lovely- panoramic views of Oxford through walls of glass!..Looks stunning!...and definately a lovely place to eat for a special occasion!  Would highly recommend the place!..especially the duck cassoulet! :-)

We covered a lovely wedding at Lains Barn last weekend!  Haven't been there for awhile, so it was nice to go back and do a wedding there!  Bride had lovely classic colour of ivory and green- the florist created stunning wedding flower balls that hang high in the beams of the barn!  Totally gorgeous!!

We were lucky enough to cover a wedding at Four Pillars Sandford on Thames last weekend, and I must admit I do love the burgundy/dark red colour!  It just looks lovely and romantic!  After all, red is the colour of love!  But whilst I was there, I saw some amazing pedestals created by the wonderful peeps at Fabulous Flowers in Oxford!  They were very sculptured in style, and looked almost like peacocks! Pics below!  They were so original too, as I had never seen pedestals done this way before!  But definately a wow- for those guests entering the room!  Lovely work yet again, Fabulous Flowers!!
 

Met a lovely lady who runs The CupCake Baker at a wedding in Oxford the other weekend!  Her cupcakes looked soooo good!  So if you're needing some sugary cupcake fix in general or for a special do!...please do check out her website for some yummy goodness!
