ONCE UPON A TIME
The perfect theme for bookworm brides, imbue your wedding with wonderfully wordy details for this climactic chapter in your own love story. Taking Young & Battaglia's beautiful 'White Bookshelf' wallpaper as the starting point for the design concept, this theme combines crisp white, old books and bespoke artwork for a stylish and evocative aesthetic.
Paper chains and jam jar lanterns, made from the pages of broken books, hang from the beams, while table numbers and a 'ring book', crafted from old books, comprise fabulous focal points. Upcycled books make for coolly innovative props, while book pages used to create the table runner echo the colours in the aged stonewall of the barn.
The literary loveliness continues with the stationery: covetable bookmarks double up as place settings for guests to treasure. Simple white jugs complement the white blooms, while personalised artwork and a vintage typewriter on which guests can type messages to the bride and groom add a quirky twist. The result? The perfect setting for your happy ever afters.

WELLY WEDDING
Imagine escaping from the hubbub of modern life to the secluded climes of Trevenna's complex of barns, tucking into a relaxed dinner party in the farmhouse the night before the wedding and exploring the grounds - in your wellies!
Ideal for nature-loving couples, the wildly beautiful moorland setting of Trevenna inspired this playful country theme which combines seasonal flowers, natural textures and light-hearted details.
Filled with vibrant blooms and foliage, Wellington boots placed on pretty floral table runners make for fun table centrepieces, while the slate tablemats double as innovative place makers. Blending rustic colours with welly and foliage motifs, the bespoke stationery sets a chic country tone, from the invitations to the vintage suitcase table plan. The old apple carts and vintage style bench create a unique focal point - ideal for photos during the reception or simply a place to kick off your wellies.
