15 Oct Cotswold Tipis September 2019 Open Day Photos

Our September 2019 Open Day took place at Denfurlong Farm, a fantastic venue in the heart of the Cotswolds near Cirencester.

Cat Stephen Photography at the Cotswold Tipis Open Day

We feel so lucky to have had Cat from Cat Stephens Photography join us. Cat’s photos are artistic, full of texture and real. We knew Cat’s photos before we’d met her – she has some absolutely stunning shots from weddings and engagement shoots. One couple’s photos actually made me cry… it’s happened to us all, right? Photographers have to be personable, they need to get on with you and your partner and your family, and effortlessly be in the right place at the right time to capture some of the precious moments of your wedding day.

Cat arrived early and got her photography stands set up before anyone else had arrived, and it didn’t take long for her warm and bubbly personality to come through. Turns out, Cat was an absolute blast to have around on the day and we really enjoyed spending the day with her.

All of the photos below were captured by Cat Stephens Photography.

The Lily Pad Florist

We didn’t actually meet Gemma until the Open Day itself, we exchanged of a few emails while Gemma was on holiday and she kindly offered to join us. Gemma had said that she had some ideas for something really cool, and honestly we didn’t know what to expect.

Gemma quietly set to work on arrival and completely blew us away with her creations. A lush tropical hanging piece hung from the tipi frame above the head table with wide reaching ferns, delicate white flowers and hanging amaranthus. A tall, vibrant flower garden stood by the entrance (inspired!) and her bohemian bridal bouquet in burnt oranges and white with that incredible King Protea! I.N. L.O.V.E.

Wild & Brie Grazing Tables

Grazing Tables have been really popular overseas for quite some time. I believe the trend began in Australia for these dense and indulgent tables covered in breads, olives, dips, meat, chocolate, fruit, chocolate and anything else nibble-able. Of course, Grazing Tables can be made to order, to suit all palates and all dietary requirements.

Jess began creating Grazing Boxes for friends and family, then Grazing Tables at Christmas and Parties. Now, she’s one of the few wedding and events caterers who specialises in this mouth watering feast for the eyes.

A perfect addition to tide people over until lunch or dinner is served, Wild & Brie’s Grazing Tables are completely bespoke so you can discuss with Jess how much you food you would like to be provided.
