​
We will however be happy to put your own sparklers on the display stand for you.
Styling your décor
We are very happy to style your own décor. We charge for this at an hourly rate.
In order to calculate the time required we will need a list in advance of all items and quantities plus details of where each item sis to go
.For guest table items we would ask that these are place in boxes or bags per table including any place cards.
For items such as favours and children’s activity packs we ask that you provide a note of which table the individuals are on and that any favours that are allergy related, age related are named clearly to avoid issues.
Due to the number of weddings we style. we cannot always store large quantities of couple’s own décor in advance.
We would ask that where possible decor is left at the venue either the night before or on the morning of the wedding.
We collect any of our own décor the day after the wedding.
Most venues will strip down décor and place in an agreed area of the venue.
We will collect our décor and leave yours for you to collect.
If all of the décor is yours and your venue does not strip down, you must let us know in advance if you would like us to return to strip down and pack your décor for you otherwise, we will assume you will do this yourselves the morning after the wedding
Garden Games
All of our garden games are checked and cleaned after each wedding to ensure they are at their best for you.
If the weather is expected to be bad through out your day and you are unlikely to use them, we would ask that to prevent too much damage they are moved inside and stored for collection.
If there is light or intermittent showers the games can be left outside.
We politely ask that our games are treated with respect and that any children are supervised to prevent unwanted damage and for the safety of children.
We ask that the games are either inside the venue for collection if inclement weather or where they were put out if the weather is good ready for our collection
.If we have to spend extra time searching around grounds for items, this will incur an extra charge.
Our games can only be set up in private grounds of venues that are open to your guests and not accessible to the general public.
.Audio guestbook telephones
Our full size telephone box audio guest book is not available for hire only.
Due to health and safety and insurance, the box must be set up by Lily Rose and cannot be moved within the venue or taken down once it has been set up .

Floral arches and most of our wooden arches are 7ft tall. Please ensure that there is adequate height in your venue to accommodate this.
Floral arches cannot be place under door frames as this damages the arch frame.
They can be placed either side of a doorway.
Our floral arches are for indoor use only.
Sweet station / Donut wall
Our sweet station is of course a favourite with children (and adults) we ask that children are supervised as some of the jars are quite heavy and and are glass.

We can try and accommodate most allergies or you are welcome to purchase all sweets yourselves and we can add signs relating to allergies to the sweet stand.

Bookings/ Cancellations / changes to bookings.
​
We ask for a £50 booking fee for all bookings.
This is non refundable as it is there to secure your date in our diary and your chosen décor. It will however be deducted from your overall bill.
This prevents us from offering that date to other couples to ensure you have the security of your booking.
If you have to cancel your wedding, please contact us as soon as possible.
We understand that sometimes things are unavoidable and we will consider each case on the circumstances but as a general rule the booking fee is not refundable if you choose to go with another supplier, etc.
With circumstances such as the death of a very close family member, pregnancy, ill health of bride or groom or circumstances such as covid, we will of course work with you. In these circumstances we will be happy to transfer your deposit to another date .
Your date is not secure until the booking fee has been paid . We will pencil in your date and let you know if we receive an enquiry for the same date should you wish us to do so, giving you the opportunity to still secure your date.
.Choice of décor
Once you have chosen your décor and paid your booking fee, your decor will be reserved for you for your date.
If you have secured your date with a booking fee but not decided on your décor, please be aware that you may miss out on some items as we do offer hire only so there may be another couple who book the décor for the same date.
Once you have made a decision on your décor, please let us know and it will be reserved for you.
Changes to orders
Any changes to orders must be notified to us as soon as possible.
Any changes within 8 weeks of your wedding date will be charged for as the décor will have been held for you and we will not have been able to offer to other couples.

​
Set up is £40 per hour which is for two of us to set up your décor. If your venue requires a turnaround in the same room, we do have to charge for the wait time in addition to set up but will work with your venue to keep this to a minimum.

We do not work at heights other than for setting up arches and dressing low beams as we are not insured to do so.

That’s the boring bit over and we would like to say that we have only had a handful of times where we have had to ask for damages in over 400 weddings and worked with so many couples throughout the Pandemic to change dates and décor to assist them through the unsettled times
Obviously, we all need rules and regulations, but we hope you understand the reasoning behind ours and they don’t impact too much on your decision to work with us.
