A few weeks ago, waterside Lincolnshire venue, Stockwith Mill, opened their doors to welcome wedding planning couples and showcase this extra special wedding venue. When I say that Stockwith Mill is steeped in history, I really do mean it; mentioned in the Domesday Book no less, the water driven corn mill originally dates back to 1086.

For the open day, an amazing group of suppliers assembled to style the venue with a Serene Garden Theme. Heading the transformation was Rea from Confetti Sweethearts so, with no further ado, I will hand over to Rea to tell us more about the inspiration;

“To style the venues blank canvas and compliment the natural surroundings, I wanted to create an outdoorsy vibe with a relaxed garden feeling. Including lots of plants and subtle pops of colour. The colour palette I chose was very calming with sage green and lilac, and the decor I selected to decorate the room was very natural with a fresh feeling. The design began with the incorporation of my handmade wooden ladder to create a statement in the room with trailing ivy as it would be in a real garden setting, with on trend lampshades hanging down.

On the tables I wanted the decor to be quiet simple, with sage green and white chiffon table runners & wicker charger mats for a natural vibe. I used aged terracotta pots with plants in and created some dried floral arrangements with lots of lavender, thistles and star flowers to add a delicate touch. I added tea lights for a soft warm glow of candle light too.

I designed a new stationery collection to compliment the theme with a delicate floral design. I used lilac foil on the menus, and mint foil on the place cards with a sage green wax seal to add a touch of the wow factor and tie everything in.”

Huge thanks to Rea for sharing with us, enjoy a few pictures from the day…
