{Delbury Hall}

When choosing a location for your event or wedding, it is important for you to shop around. If you find the perfect venue but it's out of your price range, shop around and find out what the competition is offering. Talk to the venue and be honest about your budget, see if you can remove some of the trimmings and DIY it. The best way around making the most of what your budget can offer, is to talk to your vendors. 

A fabulous local Shropshire venue is Delbury Hall, their packages are fantastic and the location perfect...

{Tea and Roses}

 

I am a firm believer in cupcakes and all things tea and crockery related. When I stumbled across Tea and Roses, a Shropshire based crockery and accessories hire company, I was elated. Their vintage ethic is perfect and their prices fabulous. What better way to celebrate in style than with vintage settings? 

A bit about Tea and Roses....

"Tea & Roses began life in the heart of the beautiful Shropshire countryside. We are based on a family farm and our business is run from our 300 year old timber framed farmhouse.

Our name is inspired by the constant use of the rose over the centuries in many of our English crockery designs. Our collection includes many pretty floral designs from the 1800s onwards. From delicate Victorian blush roses, hand painted Art Deco daisies to bold bright 1960s roses, a feast of designs. Makers names include, Wedgwood, Clarice Cliff, Royal Doulton, Paragon, Royal Albert and Tuscan Ware to name but a few.

Tea and Roses was created by Deborah Meredith who has always had a passion for vintage design and ceramics. Having trained in Art and Design and Conservation and Restoration she decided to share her passion and creative skills with others."

Here are just a few of my favourite of their pieces. They're certainly one to bookmark! 

{Rowton Castle}

One of the largest challenges when planning an event or wedding, is to find your perfect venue.

Rowton Castle outside of Shrewsbury is a great location set amongst the rolling Shropshire Hills. It's a great location that hosts dozens of weddings annually, their packages are priced accordingly to the fabulous and professional service they offer. Like any venue though, they provide a fantastic canvas with which to build your day upon, it is your choice of flowers, décor, paperwear, that tailor your day to suit you.

Here are only a few images, have a peep at the rest of their galleries for more....

When it comes to bridal jewellery and accessories, you have to be confident in the knowledge that they will shimmer and shine accordingly. In terms of accessories and jewellery, I am yet to find a bespoke crafts person in Shropshire to top Julieann of Julieann Beads. Her collections are such that they can be perfectly mixed and matched to be tailored to your needs. 

"Julieann Beads are a design led, family business based in Shrewsbury, Shropshire. Founded in 2005, our unique and distinctive wirework jewellery features handmade glass beads, freshwater pearls, Swarovski crystals and gemstones sourced from around the world."
