Dior’s Magical Labyrinth.

6th February 2017

The magical Haute Couture 2017 Spring Summer collection from Dior will surely inspire the creatives of the wedding world, it was so beautiful. Created within a tent was a garden within the gardens of the Musée Rodin. The entrance gave away clues and transported the guests to a magical environment with a mass of foliage that covered the walls and floors creating a woodland dell. Then a labyrinth of box hedging, paths of moss scattered with leafs and rambling hedges came together to make a modern maze. Its twists and turns, reflected in a stunning mirrored ceiling, provided the moss-covered route which…

A little love…

2nd February 2017

Yesterday was an absolute joy. After weeks of preparations, creating new designs and perfecting the show room we finally reached 1st February. The day in the diary when Rachael Connerton was coming!!! And it was an absolute dream…we had ‘such fun’ in the words of Miranda! Rachael’s work has always been an inspiration and from our first telephone chat years ago we just seemed to connect. Her work is a ‘mystical mystery’, how does she make something look so incredibly beautiful? Well after a day with Rachael I feel as though I have been left under a spell, I am no…

My Secret Pleasure…

18th November 2016

The post has just landed, an uninspiring heap that you’re rifling through, a hand full of the usual bills, bank statements and take away flyers, when you catch a glimpse of a thick luxurious envelope. ‘Is it my birthday?’ pops into your head, then vanishes as the reality of just another Wednesday dawns. So what is inside this rather lovely surprise, a beautiful hand enticing mystery, who’s written to me? In an era of emails, texts, Facebook, Twitter and numerous other social media messaging services, a personally hand written letter has become a rare treat in our digital world. Could it…

Paris Love Bridge

17th November 2015

Tying a “love lock” on to the Pont des Arts before throwing the key into the River Seine beneath became a true declaration of love. Faye and James, ‘true romantics’ got engaged and added their love lock to the Paris bridge. But part of the bridge’s railings collapsed under the weight last year, so sadly close to one million locks, weighing 45 tonnes were removed. Last February on Valentines Day Faye and James managed to add their 3rd and final lock before they were all taken away. They asked us to create a design with the bridge to reflect their story with…
