Top Event Planning Services in Portchester, Hampshire

What can I say about Laurel Designs except from WOW! I should start by saying I was a bit dubious about upgrading my original 'wish list' to the full styling package but I am SO glad I did, it was so worth it. We got married at Silchester Farm in Nov 22.
From my initial meeting with Carol, the sense of relief after the meeting was indescribable. I was concerned about the whole day 'coming together', the smaller details and the set up and Carol just eased all of that. Her passion, creativity and vision was everything I needed and I couldn't wait to work with them!
I then had the pleasure of meeting Zoe (and x3 beautiful Boxers!) during our final planning meeting face to face where we firmed up the details ahead of our wedding. Silchester was a big venue with different areas but they sprinkled so much rustic charm and beautiful designs across the place. My personal favourite parts were the wooded arch with lights for the alter, the tables - just WOW, we had a burnt orange runner with lots of candles and dried flowers, and the table plan and entrance set up to welcome guests was so special.
We cannot thank the team enough for their hard work, patience and attention to detail, we had the best day and a huge part of it was due to Laurel Designs. Thank you so much, Amy and Louis x

Sadly the florist we had booked for our wedding was unable to complete the work due to illness, so we were a little worried we wouldn't find a new florist just a few months before the wedding.
We contacted Carol at Laurel Designs and she instantly put us at ease, saying they would do everything they could to try and help out. I met with Zoe the florist the following week to discuss our hopes for the floral arrangements and I instantly felt in safe hands. My ideas were a little all over the place and she offered great advice and I trusted her completely. She quickly sent us a mood board the following day and went above and beyond to check we were happy. Zoe added candelabras and signage to complete the styling.
On the day, I cannot explain how thrilled we were with the flowers! They exceeded any expectations we had previously, and it was clear that Zoe had put many hours into creating such beautiful arrangements. They looked wild and natural, and smelt amazing! My bouquet was so so beautiful and we were just blown away. So many of our guests were complimenting the flowers and they really did make the venue look so beautiful. On the day Zoe and Carol even moved the arrangements for us from the ceremony area to the drinks reception so that we could make the most of them and nothing was wasted.
The next morning we collected some of the arrangements and gave them out to family members. Our grandparents were so chuffed and the flowers still look and smell beautiful in their living rooms now, over a week later!
Not only did Zoe and Carol go above and beyond leading up to and on our wedding day with the floral arrangements, but they were just lovely people to be around and it felt as though they were genuinely excited for us both. We absolutely loved working with them and would recommended Laurel Designs to anyone planning a wedding or looking for great styling and/or flowers! Thank you again Zoe and Carol x

WOW!! From start to finish, both Carol and Zoe were super friendly and helpful. We helped design the stationary for our day, Zoe provided the most gorgeous flowers for the venue and bridal party and the turnaround throughout the day was seamless. I honestly cannot recommend this little business enough. It took the stress away from the day and the venue looked spectacular with the floral arch, the table centre pieces and all the extra little touches. Don’t hesitate to book a consultation and then BOOK THEM for your wedding, you won’t regret it. Thank you so much to you both. Love Michelle & Adam xx

Laurel Designs did the flowers and decorating for our wedding, both at the church and the reception venue. They did an absolutely fantastic job, we were so over the moon with how everything looked 🥰 can’t recommend them enough if you need any flowers or decor for your big day!

From the bottom of our hearts, my husband & I would like to thank you sincerely for all of your hard work on our wedding day!

I know the wind was an absolute nightmare, but you styled the venue to absolute perfection despite the awful weather, and we were soo happy with how it all looked. I am still SO blown away at how gorgeous the top table was!

Finally, my bouquet was GORGEOUS and I am so excited to have it preserved!!

I will be recommending Laurel Designs Studios to all of my friends and family. You both are so talented and I am so happy we trusted you with the styling of our venue.
