It's that time of year again....

So the wedding season is getting a bit less frenzied and here at VandV our minds turn to Crimbo!!
We are of course doing a annual wreath making workshops along with some new additions to the timetable. Check out the website for details www.violetsandvelvet.co.uk
We are also lucky enough to be dressing a few venues locally with our garlands, wreaths and all round loveliness.
Earlier on the year we did a gorgeous little Christmas shoot at the barn with the talented Kate from www.vintagestylehire.com and the ever so lovely Claire Naylor www.clairenaylorphotography.co.uk
The results are quite lovely and should give you a bit of inspiration for your Christmas table. A lot of the pretty bits are  available from www.vintagestyleliving.co.uk a new venture for Kate.
Enjoy!

The workshops are now up and running so I thought it'd be a good idea to get all the dates along with the prices out there for everyone to see!! For any more details or to book, please give me a shout.
