Our event design brief from Kate and Leo was to create a rustic country wedding on the South Bank. This is a venue with a phenomenal view, but is iconic for its modern, concrete-based architecture and therefore set us quite a challenge.

Inside, the “white box” was transformed with a real grass floor, colourful, festival bunting and festoons zigzagging throughout the ceiling, combined with our rustic furniture. A swagged festoon backdrop provided the setting for the ceremony and draping was used to soften doorways.

Kate wanted to create a crèche and cinema area for the kids and our box hedge screens provided the perfect partition to screen off a section of the room for this purpose. This also served the purpose of providing privacy to the entrance of the Suite, where glass walls and doors open onto the landing.

The internal courtyard was turned into a chill-out zone, with sofas, a large cover and further festoon lights. Cut birch archways, rustic crates and props completed the look.
