This wedding was challenging logistically, as Nichola had set her heart on celebrating her marriage at Botleys Mansion, but the venue was unable to accommodate all of her guests for the ceremony. She therefore decided to have her guests seated outside on the lawn, with just the bridal couple and registrars positioned inside the doors for legal purposes.

With access only 3 hours before the ceremony was due to begin, we worked together with our marquee supplier to install a roof-only marquee on the lawn. This provided cover for the guests, whilst creating an attractive backdrop for the ceremony. For venue styling, we dressed the marquee with colourful hanging lanterns and the aisle was lined with candle lanterns. Draping covered the external doors and a draped backdrop provided the perfect ceremony location whilst hiding the function area behind.

Indoors, the peach themed event design continued with soft ivory draping to hide the wooden doorways and brick walls, using a bespoke framework to enable an unrestricted view throughout the entire space. Pinspots illuminated the table centres and uplighters set the mood, while more lanterns lined the staircase and lit the gardens. Our crystal candelabra graced the tables and perfectly complemented the venue’s crystal chandeliers overhead.
