Tucked away within the walled garden of Heckfield

Tucked away within the walled garden of Heckfield Place, a sunlit glasshouse set the scene for a leisurely family picnic luncheon—a celebration of love, legacy, and the simple joy of gathering together.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
With a farm-to-table feast served beneath trailing vines, guests dined at tables dressed in patterned linens, their pale blue and lemon hues echoing the lush summer palette of the season.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Freshly cut florals, bursting with delicate wildflowers and fragrant herbs, brought an organic, effortless charm to the tablescape, while hand-painted stationery tied every detail together with understated elegance.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Adding to the magic, a fun roaming band moved between the tables, serenading guests with soulful melodies and impromptu singalongs—turning a relaxed afternoon into a memory-filled celebration of life’s most treasured moments.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A gathering filled with warmth, laughter, and the timeless beauty of Heckfield’s exquisite surroundings.

A Moment for the Dress ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

A Moment for the Dress
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Some gowns make a statement, others whisper.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Schuyler’s @oscardelarenta gown was a masterpiece of understated refinement. Sculptural yet soft, modern yet timeless, it moved with fluid grace, embodying the quiet sophistication that defined her wedding day.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
No embellishment was needed, no excess—just exquisite craftsmanship, a silhouette that spoke volumes, and a bride who wore it with absolute ease.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Years later, this gown remains just as breathtaking, just as iconic. Because true style is never fleeting—it’s forever.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Designed with intention. Worn with grace.

Some celebrations are best experienced in motion—laughter rippling through the air, champagne glasses clinking, and music weaving its way through a sun-drenched glasshouse. This family picnic luncheon at Heckfield Place was one of those moments.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Set within the walled garden, guests gathered for a beautifully relaxed affair, where farm-to-table dining met effortless elegance. Pale blue and lemon-hued florals danced in the breeze, patterned linens softened the space, and the warm glow of summer wrapped around every cherished conversation.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A roaming band brought an added layer of joy, moving between tables, encouraging impromptu singalongs, and ensuring the energy never wavered. With every note, every shared glance, and every bite of the exquisite seasonal feast, this gathering was a true reflection of what we love most—thoughtful, immersive celebrations that linger in the memory long after the last song has been played.

An Unforgettable Evening at Heckfield Place ⠀⠀

An Unforgettable Evening at Heckfield Place
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A night filled with love, legacy, and pure celebration. For the Caudwells’ 40th wedding anniversary, we designed an intimate yet opulent gala dinner that captured four decades of memories in spectacular style.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Inspired by the elegance of a Parisian jazz club, the setting was rich with deep ruby hues, layers of velvet textures, and cascading florals, all aglow in soft candlelight. Every detail was thoughtfully designed to feel indulgent yet effortlessly inviting.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But the magic didn’t stop at the aesthetics—the energy of the night was unmatched. With a non-stop musical journey, guests dined to the sounds of world-class performers before the celebration carried through to a late-night dance floor like no other.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A truly immersive experience, where every element came together to honor a love story that has spanned four incredible decades.

Did somebody say Valentines? I have to say I’ve never been one for all the fuss. Maybe I’m not such an old romantic after all.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But family celebrations, marking and celebrating life’s key milestones - well I’m 100% here for those.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Like this 40th wedding anniversary-the third famous gathering we’ve been entrusted with by the Thomas family. From 60th birthdays, to their son’s wedding and now their own wedding anniversary. It was an evening filled with love, laughter, and the effortless elegance that defines our signature style.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Heckfield Place provided the perfect setting, where nature, heritage, and heartfelt hospitality came together in seamless harmony. We infused the space with ruby-hued accents, organic textures, and lush florals, a reflection of four decades of love.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Guests dined in the warm embrace of the Hearth restaurant, indulging in a fire-cooked feast curated by @skyegyngell, while the atmosphere was made even more magical by hand-drawn illustrations from @jessrosebird—a keepsake of a night to remember. And, of course, no celebration would be complete without an unforgettable dance floor moment, soundtracked by @djcharlesmusic.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
To be entrusted with life’s most treasured milestones time and again is the greatest honour. Here’s to a love story that continues to unfold and to many more years of joy-filled celebrations.
