A rustic barn wedding with vintage styling .

This gorgeous vintage themed wedding took place in a lovely old flint barn setting .We teamed our antique books with our 1940`s teapots which held a gorgeous array of English scented flowers - sweet peas, big, blousy peonies, stocks and English herbs.

Their gorgeous scent filled the rustic barn with their heady and delicious scent .

 

 

Bird cages filled with cream chunky church candles added to the vintage look .Traditional English honey jars hand tied with cream silk ribbon surrounded the floral arrangements to add romantic night time flicker..

Handmade table names and whimsical bird place settings each printed with their very own literary quote completed the picture.

Venue- Upwalham Barns ,West Sussex 

Flowers - Rosehip floral Art 

Vintage chinaand accessories, antique books,tea light ribbon jars, white wrought iron antique bird cages ,vintage seating plan plus the styling of the event- Splendid Days

 

Pretty Vintage

Hello! 

Today when the temperature was below -5 I made this little collage to remind myself that spring is slowly getting closer. 

This adorable teapot was a real find, just so pretty with the added glamour of a little bit of gold! I can`t tell you how excited I was when I found it in the antique store.The gorgeous Irish linen tablecloth is all hand embroidered and really quite beautiful.The shade of blue is just lovely.

Anyway I hope it makes you feel a bit spring like too, it certainly worked for me!

Goodwood Revival 2011

http://spriggsflorist.blogspot.com/2011/09/its-vintage-year-at-goodwood-revival.html


This year we were asked to get involved in the amazing Goodwood Revival courtesy of the very lovely Spriggs Florists in Petworth .


It was a very vintage affair and the lovely china we supplied was filled by Spriggs Florists with beautiful flowers in gentle plums and soft pinks.Teapots surrounded by teacups and milk jugs filled with flowers took centre stage on each table .There were also lots more amazing vintage floral arrangements dotted around to complete the look.


Shabby chic French dressers were styled with more vintage goodies and old fashioned black and white pictures and photographs  hung from the walls.Faded colourful old books hand bound with ribbon and even well loved shabby old teddy bears completed the very authentic vintage look .

Do visit the above link for lots of inspiration if you are a lover of vintage.Spriggs have also very kindly offered to send on some more photos so do check back soon as there is lots more to see!
