Hello everyone! I hope you had the loveliest of weekends. It’s been gorgeous here and I’ve spent some time in the countryside over the last couple of days… reflecting on how beautiful nature can be, as the leaves begin to change to glorious reds and autumn shades. Today’s feature continues on from last week’s beautiful woodland wedding fairytale at Owlpen Manor. I was honoured to supply calligraphy for this ideas shoot, which was put together by the very lovely Fiona Campbell and Kat Forsyth alongside some more star wedding industry names.
The images here show ideas for styling a fairytale wedding with a very natural theme – delicate florals with a rustic touch, quintessentially English quotes and table settings with just a dash of Shakespeare! If you’d like to incorporate any of these ideas into your own wedding day then do get in touch. There’s a full supplier list a little way down the page with links to everyone involved.

Quotes and signs make lovely decorations for displays and tables on your wedding day. Another by me – see more of my calligraphy at Calligraphy-for-Weddings.com

I need that teapot!! Calligraphy quotes by me, vintage porcelain from Mrs Terrence, flowers by Ivy Pip and Rose

The rather spectacular cake is by Peggy Porschen – my calligraphy menu feels humbled to be in such lovely company!

What could be more quintessentially English than calligraphy quotes from Shakespeare? Dotted around your wedding venue these are a lovely touch (and look gorgeous framed after your wedding day!)

Do check them out for your wedding supplies – many work nationally and are based in the London area.
