Rooms, tables and flowers, set for guests
A closer look at the reception rooms, ceremony seating, seasonal florals and tabletop details the studio dresses and checks before the doors open, from the first laid cloth to the sugar roses waiting for the cake.
Act 01
Reception rooms
Dining rooms dressed ahead of guest arrival, with sightlines, chair spacing and table numbers checked against the seating plan.
-
Long tableAn estate banquet table in white linen with a pink napkin folded at every place, gold chairs drawn in, candle jars down the centre and a numbered card to guide guests to their seats. -
Room dressedRound guest tables laid with blush napkins and gold chairs, each with its number standing in the centrepiece so guests find their places quickly and conversation carries across the room.
Act 02
Fine details
Wedding bands, ceremony flowers and the small keepsakes of the day, arranged with quiet care.
-
BandsA rose-gold band and a white-metal band resting on a bouquet of cream carnations beside a curve of diamante, kept safe during the morning's preparations. -
VasePeach roses, white stocks and eucalyptus in a silver vase at the end of a row of pews, placed to frame the aisle without blocking a single guest's view of the vows.
BallroomMoulded plaster, a gilt chandelier and marble columns: the kind of historic room the studio walks through with a couple, checking capacity, light and acoustics, before a floor plan is drawn.
Act 03
Ceremony and tea table
Historic ceremony seating set for a smooth processional, and a reception tea laid out before guests sit down.
-
SeatingCurved rows of timber seats on cast-iron frames beneath three stained-glass windows. The ceremony is planned around the hall's own curve, so every row keeps a clear sightline to the couple. -
Dessert tableA two-tier china stand of meringues, mushroom tartlets and ribbon sandwiches beside cut-crystal glasses and a jar of foliage, timed with the caterer to be ready as guests arrive.
Dining roomA panelled dining room laid in white against a bay of leaded windows, with silver candelabra down the table and a green fringed lamp hanging low. It is held for one wedding at a time.
Act 04
Place settings
Linen, glassware and sugar work chosen to match the room palette and welcome every guest to the table.
-
Autumn tableGold chargers, ringed napkins and cut glass layered over a burgundy cloth, with an autumn arrangement of roses and orchids standing behind at a height guests can talk past. -
Sugar rosesRed sugar-paste roses with green leaves laid out on a wooden board, finished by hand before they are set onto the wedding cake in the reception colours.
