Yesterday we had an utterly fabulous wedding reception in The Chimney House… Ambiently beautiful by day guests came to celebrate the beautiful wedding of the new Mr and Mrs Evans.
We had been planning this particular wedding for months – and had spent ages deciding the styling and vibe and tiny details. We had suggested the bride gave her friends some bespoke made favours – which had been made by hand in ceramic and imprinted with vintage lace…We HEART Emilou Makes who rustled up these delights and had scribed a special message onto each one from the happy couple.
We stacked The Chimney House out from head to toe with daytime candles and lots of pink scented roses with huge blooms. The table was literally creaking beneath the weight of our finds and treasures which we used to accessorise the HUGE wedding feast that 52 guests tucked into.
Note the clock on the table was set to 11.30am the time the guests officially said ‘i do!!’
Coco had utterly surpassed themselves with wonderful delights from the kitchen… Pre- feast – our guests nibbled cocktail salmon and dill cakes and Sicilian rice balls and refreshingly bite-size feta & watermelon skewers and scooped Prawn Cocktails and sipped Gazpacho shots matched with ice cold Perrier Jouet.
A fine feast was served up for guests which was designed to be sophisticated and chic but with some tasty Chimney House classics…Guests were raving about food which had been matched with white, red and lashings of champers…
Platters of large prawns & dressed crab with a lime mayonnaise had centre stage before…
Rib of Beef and rack of Spring Lamb stole the show served up with warm herby new potatoes and creamy potatoes dauphinoise and divine Spanish green beans with garlic and parsley, fennel orange salad and peas with lettuce and spring greens.
Guests laughed and delighted in speeches before diving straight into 2 mega mountains of Profiteroles with Raspberry Coulis
Special gifts were given to the grandchildren – again made in ceramic and with beautiful inscriptions…So CUTE!!!
There was such a lovely romantic vibe going on… Friends, family – loved ones… Just gorgeous!
Groom’s speech!
Much merriment and affection!
Bon Voyage Mr and Mrs Evans… They are off on The Orient Express… SOOOOOOO Romantic!!!!!
We’re loving Sheffield in transit from gloom to bloom… So thought we’d collect a couple of fav shots taken over the last few days of in and out and round and about…The Chimney House has been booming – and we’ve got a mega busy couple o weeks ahead of us…We feel pleased that there is indeed life outside The CH…Although saying that we have been rustling up a few rather gorgeous looking events so we’ve included those tooo.
