Wedding Gin Bar and 1000 Paper Cranes for a Stylish Outdoor Wedding at Millbridge Court

What Made Our Day Unique

We wanted to make the whole day as personal to us as a couple as possible, which meant going against the norm. From our friend Stefan reading our vows and promises, having 1,000 origami birds, a nod to my Persian heritage, styling based around our home and lots of stationery creations to a G&T stand, flowers in gin bottles (we love gin!), copious amounts of Espresso Martini's, cat decor (more of our true loves) and even a chip shop station – yes... posh scraps and chip butties were to be had by all! Every part of our day from ceremony to speeches, music to decor, food and wine, was chosen because it's what defines us as a couple rather than what's on-trend.

Inspiration & Styling

The moment we stepped into Millbridge we knew it was the perfect venue for us. It's a wonderfully modern barn with beautiful gardens and a blank canvas to create a truly personal feel. Being a stationery designer and having a keen eye for interiors I immediately had a vision for what we would be able to create in the space and how to bring our personalities through the styling and decor. With help from both of the mum's, I worked closely with our incredible florist Hannah Berry, to create a wild, bohemian look and feel, with lots of foliage and big wispy flowers hanging from every area of the venue. I then created tablescapes and stationery using a mix of textures and acrylic, playing on our love of monochrome, grey and all things copper. We wanted a very relaxed, unique and memorable vibe and I think we achieved this well.
