Stunning Summer Wedding Day #marriedatmillbridge
When the likes of MBC Partners Philippa Sian photography, Bubblegum Balloons & Bex from Blush Floral Design are brought together for a Wedding Day, we just know that the Venue will look utterly breathtaking & that every last detail will be captured so perfectly… & J+T’s Wedding Day turned out to be just as spectacular (if not even more spectacular) than we had anticipated.
The gorgeous florals & styling details started from the entrance with Bex creating cascading floral arrangements which overhung the doorway & these beautiful touches continued throughout the Barns & into the gardens. The Archway in to the Arbor Garden was adorned with blush, pink & white blooms; white rose petals lined the aisle & two elegant arrangements situated in copper vases framed the Arbor. The perfect styling and backdrop for a Summer’s Wedding Ceremony!
J+T’s vision for their Wedding Breakfast came to life so wonderfully. The Bubblegum Balloons installation of giant pink metallic & peach balloons along the beams of the Barn was such a showstopper & extra touches such as Glimmer & Thread’s sequin table runners & glamorous Louis chairs (provided by Academy Furniture Hire) created such a luxurious look. Adding to that luxury was Bex who created abundant dome centrepieces bursting with peonies, hydrangeas, roses & eucalyptus.
The amazing Philippa Sian Photography was the Bride & Grooms chosen photographer, & as always with Philippa, every last detail & all of personal touches were captured so amazingly & the love & emotion of the day is translated beautifully in her pictures.
Thank you to Philippa for sharing the wonderful images of J+T’s day with us & thank you most importantly to Mr & Mrs Maunders for allowing us to be a part in your incredible celebrations! Wishing you so much happiness in your married lives together! Xx

Romantic Summer Wedding Day #marriedatmillbridge
In August of last year, we hosted the utterly stunning Wedding Day of Mr & Mrs Levey & we’re very excited to be sharing a selection of images from E+L’s special day below.
The vision that they had for their Wedding Day was so romantic; a vision that was optimised in their Ceremony flowers which were created by Seventh Heaven Events. Two beautiful floral urn arrangements, abundant with blowsy white, peach & blush flowers framed the Ceremony Barn, they also had delicate floral pew ends & rose petals lining the aisle for E’s entrance. The sensational arrangements didn’t end there, as Seventh Heaven also made abounding centrepieces for each table, the soft colour palette of which went perfectly against the white table linen & metallic vases & candle holders.
The Wedding Cake, which was such a gorgeous focal point in the Dining Barn, was created by Rachelles Cakes. A three tiered, marble effect cake with gold leaf & stunning handmade flowers. Such a delicate, show-stopping design & oh so elegant.
The Bride & Groom thought of every little detail when planning their day & their stationery really took centre stage. Particularly the incredible acrylic engraved ‘Welcome to our Beginning’ sign hung by our bi-fold doors, which was later replaced with their exquisite seating plan, all created by the talented duo that are Two Little Birds.
In charge of capturing all of the beautiful details & the love & emotion of the day was Leanne Jade, who did so perfectly from those special getting ready moments, all the way through until the the first dance. Thank you to Leanne for allowing us to share Mr & Mrs Levey’s day & the biggest thank you of all goes to E+L for allowing us to be a part of what was such a special day. Wishing you so much happiness in your married lives together!

April Wedding Day #marriedatmillbridge
On Saturday 3oth April of last year, Millbridge Court had the privilege of hosting Mr & Mrs Smith’s beautiful, sunny Spring Wedding Day.
H&C’s chosen florist was the amazing Carrie Macey from The Topiary Tree who created such gorgeous statement arrangements for the Ceremony Barn which had pops of coral amongst the neutral green & white flowers & foliage. The Dining Barn looked elegant with gypsophila & blush roses in jam jars, some painted by hand by the Bride herself & succulents in rustic wooden log holders.
In charge of making the Bride & the Bridal Party look extra glamorous was MBC Partner Carolanne Armstrong & Mr & Mrs Smith’s photographer was the phenomenal Sophie Duckworth. Sophie captured every aspect of the day so beautifully, from the Ceremony (oh, that natural light), both the daytime & nighttime couples shots, the Bridal Preparations… not to mention that S’mores Station reaction (you’ll know the one when you see it) & much more, every image really is exquisite.
Before we show you a selection of breathtaking images by Sophie, here are some really lovely words from the Bride & Groom themselves.
“Hi Everybody at Millbridge and Kalm Kitchen,
We both wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone for all of the work you put in to our wedding. Everything went so well and the day was better than we ever dared to imagine. You all made us feel so comfortable, Millbridge itself looked incredible and the food and service was perfect. We do not exaggerate when we say all of the guests were commenting on how good the venue and the food were. The day being so special was in no small part thanks to your teams and we are both very grateful. Thanks also for the card you slipped in amongst the ones from our guests, it was very kind.
Thanks so much again. You gave us a day we will never forget!
Helen and Chris.”

Elegant Summer Wedding Day #marriedatmillbridge
As we move in to this chilly time of year, we thought we would take a look back at J+D’s wonderful August Wedding Day; a Wedding Day which involved a sunny Arbor Ceremony with most romantic blooms, a gorgeous Patisserie Bar, a show stopping balloon installation & so many happy, smiling faces.
J+D had a really beautiful vision for their day with an elegant colour palette of whites, greys, soft greens & peaches. Creating the floral arrangements that would help to bring their vision to life was the super talented Bloomin Gayles who adorned the Arbor with a sensational cascading eucalyptus & foliage installation, along with two pillar arrangements bursting with delphiniums, roses & white hydrangeas. The beautiful floralising continued within the Dining Barn with Gayle creating gorgeous alternating centrepieces which were complimented perfectly by the soft grey table linens & white napkins chosen by the couple. And adding even more wow factor to the Wedding Breakfast setup was Bubblegum Balloons who created a phenomenal hanging installation along the beams using peach & metallic pink giant balloons.
The Bride & Groom chose to make the most of the interactive menu options that the fabulous Kalm Kitchen offer to Millbridge Court couples & had carve at the table Lamb as their Main Course & a rather gorgeous looking Patisserie Bar, made all the more beautiful by Gayle’s flowers, for dessert. The perfect menu choices to allow guests to mingle & interact throughout the Wedding Breakfast.
Capturing every styling detail, personal touch, spectacular floral arrangement, gorgeous couples shots & all of the happy moments in-between was the wonderful Philippa Sian; a photographer that we have had the pleasure of working with on multiple occasions over the course of the past year & who always brings the most wonderful energy to any Wedding Day.
Thank you to Philippa for letting us to share a selection of her beautiful images & thank you also to J+D for allowing us to play a part in what was such a beautiful celebration! We wish you both so much love & happiness in your married lives together.

September Tasting Evening
This week, we’re sharing with you all a selection of gorgeous images taken by the lovely Jasmine Andrews, of the food, drinks & the beautiful setup from our September Tasting Evening.
We love the opportunity that these evenings provide for our couples, not only because they get to try & choose their Wedding Menu but also because they are able to see the Venue in action & at nighttime, they can also gain Wedding inspiration from a handful of fabulous MBC Partners, as well as getting to see the team once again & they can also meet other Millbridge Court couples who they can chat to & share their thoughts & ideas with throughout the evening.
Creating the breathtaking tablescape was our newest MBC Partner, Eden Blooms, a Farnham based Florists who we have had the pleasure of working with on many occasions over the past few years, & who created such intricate & delicate jars of flowers, in wonderfully vibrant & deep autumnal colours on the day of our tasting. Complimenting the change of seasons further was their use of metallic pumpkins & candle holders, as well as a beautiful moss wreath which hung from our shelves. Adding the final touches to the table setup was the one & only Judy Broad Calligraphy who made such exquisite place cards using gold ink on deep blue card which matched the blue & silver striped linens so perfectly.
Serenading our wonderful MBC Brides & Grooms throughout the evening was Tristan Mackay, an amazingly talented musician, singer & songwriter who we always adore working with & listening to.
Lovingly bringing the menu to life was the always outstanding Kalm Kitchen. From the canapés, to the sharing plates, to the intricately plated dishes & the Patisserie Bar (complete with cascading florals by Eden Blooms no less), everything looked, smelt & tasted divine.
Thank you to everyone who we worked alongside to create yet another wonderful Tasting Evening & to all of our lovely Millbridge Court couples who attended, we hope you had the most fabulous evening with us!
So, without further a do, here are Jasmine’s gorgeous snapshots of our September Tasting Evening! Happy browsing.

The Millbridge Court Autumn Preview 2017
On Sunday, we hosted the Millbridge Court Autumn Preview; an event we host twice a year for our MBC couples, so that they can see the Venue filled with breathtaking Wedding inspiration, as well having the opportunity to try some delicious food & chat to the Millbridge Court Partners showcasing their beautiful work.
We are always completely in awe of what our wonderful Partners create on the day & last weekend was certainly no exception. Creating exquisite tablescapes & arrangements throughout the Venue were Paula Rooney, Carrie Macey (The Topiary Tree), Bex Morgan (Blush Floral Design) & Hannah Berry & showcasing their gorgeous & intricate Wedding Cakes were Andi Freeman & Ellie (Milk Street Kitchen) whose setups looked ever so gorgeous with extra floral touches provided by Blush Floral Design.
Kalm Kitchen once again created a jaw-dropping Patisserie Bar alongside Hannah Berry flowers, complete with a hanging branch installation, orange & metallic pumpkins & seasonal blooms. They also launched a new & innovative food stall… The Pretzel Bar!
The photographers who joined us for our preview were VLA Wedding Photography, Philippa Sian Photography & The Springles; photographers who are always such a pleasure to work with, are immensely talented & all have such distinctive looks. Alongside them, we also had Hannah Aldridge (Hannah Films) showcasing her gorgeous Wedding Day videos for our couples to see.
Adding to the ambience was Thom Morley who serenaded our Brides & Grooms throughout the day and we also had the pleasure of having the ever so lovely Gemma Milly joining us & displaying her stunning stationary.
Thank you to Kat & Ash for taking the time to take such amazing images of the day & we are so excited to share them with you below. Thank you also to the Philippa Sian for sharing her beautiful images with us also, many of which we have shared on our Instagram feed… so if you don’t follow us already, you can find us under the profile name millbridgecourt.
Happy browsing, lovely readers!

Spring Wedding At MBC #marriedatmillbridge
This week, we are sharing with you all Mr & Mrs Pursey’s Spring Wedding Day; a day that involved a team of fabulous industry professionals & so many really stunning & carefully thought through styling details.
With the Spring weather on their side, S&A were lucky enough to have the very first Arbor Wedding Ceremony of 2017 & in charge of making the Arbor Garden look extra beautiful on the day was The Flower Pocket, who created gorgeous blush & white floral pew ends which lined the Arbor aisle.
The inside looked equally as breathtaking with S&A choosing to have two banquet tables running down the length of the Dining Barn, a setup that really accentuates the length of the Barn & the floor to ceiling glass wall. The tables were then adorned with light grey linens which complimented the soft floral colour palette perfectly & The Flower Pockets continual foliage arrangement that ran down the centre of each of the tables looked utterly stunning. Adding further to the gorgeousness of the day was Mr & Mrs Pursey’s elegant Wedding Cake created by MBC Partner Ellie from Milk Street Kitchen, complete with white buttercream & gold leaf (no less).
Their chosen Photographer was the wonderful VLA Photography who always takes so much care in capturing the all important details of the day & never fails to take such brilliant shots of the happy couple around the Millbridge Court grounds. It is always such a pleasure to have VLA joining us & thank you to Jon for allowing us to share his wonderful imagery on our blog.
Lastly, but by no means least, thank you to Mr & Mrs Pursey for letting us share in your amazing Wedding Celebrations! It really was a privilege & a pleasure & we wish you so much love & happiness in your married lives together. Xx
