Sweetie Table at Maidens Barn

When I was working as a Registrar, I spent a lot of Saturdays and Sundays at the beautiful www.maidensbarn.com conducting weddings.  So this weekend it was great to set up a sweetie table there for Clare and Gaven Brace's wedding. It's funny seeing a venue from a different perspective and I actually found it even more beautiful.  Before, my colleague and I would come in the side door, spend about an hour in the ceremony room then leave. But on Saturday I pulled up in the courtyard, smelled the heady aroma of climbing roses and really appreciated how beautiful Maidens Barn really is.  I took my daughter with me to help set up the table and on the way pointed out all the village pubs that we'd stop at between weddings - aah it was a great job!  There are always stories attached to various weddings at the venues we'd travel to, the Maidens Barn memory was when we were conducting a wedding outdoors and there was a wandering pheasant behind me.  Trust me, it took all of my concentration to focus on the job whilst being terrified of the feathery terror behind me!  I know, I'm such a wimp but I just have an irrational fear of birds.

Anyway, back to the sweetie table - this wedding turned out to be a colaberation with my favourite wedding professionals.  Hayley at www.hayleyruthphotography.co.uk was the photographer, Jo at www.daiseyley.co.uk made some very cute bunting to match the table for me and Emma at www.abespokedesign.co.uk was the artistic genius behind the invitations and table seating plan. And of course Katherine who owns and organises weddings at the fabulous www.MaidensBarn.com .  So lovely to work with you all again! xx
