    We’ve had a few bright and colourful boards recently, so I feel it’s time for something more subtle and understated.

It’s so quirky and looks like it was great fun to be a part of – I particularly love the kissing booth and the bride’s totally unique fashion style! (more…)

    Sadly the summer seems to have deserted us here in Essex at the moment, so today I’ve designed a colourful board that hopefully will bring some sunshine to your day. I’m thinking uber-chic city venue with lots of funky decorations, and a photo booth and jukebox entertaining guests throughout the day.
