Donington Park Farmhouse
If you’re dreaming of a relaxed, countryside wedding with character, Donington Park Farmhouse ticks all the boxes. The Threshing Barn is full of rustic charm, with exposed brick walls, beams and atmospheric lighting, it’s an ideal space to layer with warm candlelight, statement florals and natural textures.
We love styling this space with draped fabrics, foliage runners, and our signature real wax LED candles in glass cylinders to bring softness and elegance to the natural backdrop.

Kedleston Country House
For couples seeking a more refined setting, Kedleston Country House offers a timeless Georgian feel with a modern twist. The Orangery, with its large windows and soft neutral tones, is a dream to style: light, bright, and incredibly versatile.
We often work with delicate florals, gold details and elegant tablescapes here, enhancing the natural light and historic charm of the space. It’s perfect for a romantic, modern-luxury look.
Shottle Hall
Shottle Hall is one of Derbyshire’s most-loved venues, and with good reason. The Coach House is ideal for couples wanting a blank canvas with a rustic-luxe finish. High ceilings, wooden beams and neutral tones mean you can really make the space your own.
They’ve recently added a beautiful new barn space that’s perfect for the wedding breakfast or evening reception. It’s a large, modern barn full of character, with statement glass windows that let in natural light and offer stunning countryside views. It’s ideal for couples who want modern barn styling with a soft, romantic feel.
We’ve styled this venue in everything from soft blushes to rich autumnal tones and the layout makes it easy to reuse decor from ceremony to reception, adding to its appeal for eco-conscious couples.
Stretton Manor Barn
A contemporary barn venue with countryside views, Stretton Manor Barn is all about clean lines, open space and modern finishes. The barn itself is light-filled and spacious, offering the perfect backdrop for both minimalist and more detailed designs.
We love using statement floral installations and structured aisle styling here, pairing them with crisp linens and layered lighting to elevate the space without overpowering it.

The Hidden Hive Tipis
Set within the National Forest, The Hidden Hive is a magical venue that brings the outdoors in. The ceremony takes place in the Honey Bee Barn - a rustic, romantic setting that’s perfect for soft draping, floral accents and candlelight.
Afterwards, guests move into the three spectacular giant tipis, complete with a cosy snug area, where we style with ambient lighting, relaxed lounge set-ups, and natural textures. Whether you want whimsical boho or woodland romance, this venue is full of possibilities and it’s one of our absolute favourites to get creative in.
