Christmas Wreath Workshop and Afternoon Tea

I had the pleasure of being asked again to photograph a wreath workshop and afternoon tea, for promotional content.

The workshop was being run by Kelly from Delphi Flowers, which is based in RIngmer. The delicious cream tea was supplied by the lovely ladies at Connie and Cooper Catering. The decorations and beautiful vintage tableware was supplied by Helen from Betty Loves Vintage, and this all took place at the stunning venue of Milwards Estate in Laughton.

It was a lovely way to spend an afternoon. It was a fun and Christmassy thing to do. I highly recommend if you’ve never done one to try it out. This one came with the added bonus of a delightful cream tea afterwards. There were delicate finger sandwiches, scones with jam and some stunning cakes, not to mention my favourite, C &C sausage rolls.

It was such a calming atmosphere, with Christmas music, mulled wine and everyone enjoying spending time together. We had the addition of the friendliest cat joining in on the festivities too. As I can’t take photographs and make a wreath at the same time, my lovely husband and daughter joined the workshop, and they made us a beautiful Christmas wreath. It was so lovely to be able to do some fun festive activities together.

As if they day wasn’t already fabulous enough, on our way out there were the most gorgeous Shetland ponies. I will add a photograph, but its not the best as it’s only from my phone camera, but I had to share a photo.

I was lucky enough to get to have some of the amazing food.

It was such a lovely atmosphere, with Christmas music, mulled wine and everyone enjoying spending time together, unlike last year when it all happened over Zoom.

It was so nice to be out again and doing something other than being at home. I look forward to being able to experience more fun things, hopefully life can get back to normal soon.

Santa's little helper

As I don’t have a studio I am unable to offer those kind of photographs, but I really wanted to take some Christmassy photographs of Hudson, my great-nephew. So thanks to a white bed sheet and some fairy lights on my bed we managed to take these. Hudson was an absolute star, He had an occasional moan but could be calmed with dummy breaks. My niece had bought his little outfits from local shops and I got some of my Christmas decorations out the loft. We hadn’t planned to put him in the Santa sack, we tried to put him in a Christmas stocking but he was too big, so we got him in the sack and filled it with Christmas toys. It was just magical, as he then fell asleep in there. It was a truly fun afternoon and I can’t help but laugh and smile at the photographs that we got. One of my favourites is him with my niece and he looks like he’s just about had enough of having his photo taken…enough Auntie Becky.
