‘Fancie’

From The Tree Hotel, Sweden to The Chimney House, Sheffield

Tuesday, August 28th, 2012

Only sometimes do we get venue envy… It’s not often – but when Sara and Tom came to see us to arrange their post wedding party at The Chimney House they told us they were hot-footing it to Sweden to marry at  The Tree Hotel we went more than a little green!

We are super lucky that they have shared their fab photos with us from their beautiful day…Which was hosted amongst the true beauty of trees and swathes of romance.

We absolutely LOVE Sara in this shot…And adore her look which is as stylishly bohemian as it is understated and chic…We were also delighted when she wore her dress to The Chimney House for her post-wedding party for the new mr and mrs and 50 of their nearest and dearest.

We wanted to capture the floral and green depths of nature in our florals for the party to reflect the romance of matrimony in a tree house made for love. We used tall stems and big glossy blooms to emanate tall trees with their leaf canopy!

Beautiful florals matched with red brick hues gave the feel of the room a magical tone matched with the earthy realism of the Island location of The Chimney House with the multitude of green and vegetation surrounding the waterways.

Sara and Tom indulged their playful side with sweet treats and paper bags so guests could help themselves to old fashioned sweets after the huge wedding supper we provided…including huge joints of roast hams and plump herby potato salads, matched with cheeses and Kelham made pork pies.

They had also commissioned from the wonderful Fancie – a wedding cake of delight with mini cupcakes – perfectly mouth shaped to pop in nice and quick!

To make sure this was a proper Sheffield party Sara and Tom had personalised Hendersons Relishes for each guest to take away as wedding favours

We’ve included some shots from The Tree Hotel as well to show the absolute ethereal gorgeousness of the location.

Mirror Room…Which is our fav pic and the UFO room below…

We suggest going straight to their site for the lo-down on the hotel and why it was built high up in the trees…It’s a gorgeous story and well worth a peek!

Thanks to Sara and Tom for their gorgeous weddings pics and also for their kind words…We wish you wonderful married bliss in your new love nest…And Sara best of luck in your new job!

‘Sara and I had got married in a small ceremony in Sweden the week before, so we wanted a venue in Sheffield to celebrate with the rest of our family. The Chimney House was perfect – relaxed, romantic, and everything else we could have hoped for. Sally, Kirstin, and the rest of the staff were amazing, meeting with us beforehand to plan the menu (which was delicious), and the layout for the night. Everything went off according to plan, and our guests commented on what a fantastic night it was. We have nothing but great memories of it all. Thank you all again, you made our night…’

Fancie

Tuesday, March 16th, 2010

Fancie is without a shadow of a doubt the best and utterly roll on the floor to have your belly tickled maker of cupcakes in the entire kingdom. She also likes small dogs called Mini and talking about The Chimney House (stealing my bits of stories…) toilet doors, lights and table… she’s got it off to a fine art… any hoo – back to cakes. Light as air and buttery to perfection cupcakes will feature as a part of afternoon tea for our visitors to The Meeting Room and The Front Room.  They are also available to order for meetings… served in a cake tin naturally. Fancie’s cakes are made fresh every single day in the bakery of delight and her ingredients are particularly carefully selected and each batch are tested for lightness, depth, colour and topping size. We like brands who are insistent on perfection and it’s not until you’ve scooped the frosting off the top, nibbled around the edges, taken the cake case off  and gobbled it down will you understand. Someone ( who will remain anonymous)  told me the other day – she had a Fancie cupcake in the car with her… and she literally couldn’t wait till she got home… pulled over in a lay by and consumed at speed… that dear friends is a case of cupcake addiction – pleasure without an ounce of guilt….
