Your Berks, Bucks and Oxon Wedding - June/July 2024 (Issue 107)

OAK AND WARD OFFER RUSTIC TABLES AND TABLETOP SERVERS This supplier of exquisite handmade furniture and ancillaries is based in Oxfordshire where the pieces are created in the workshop located near Banbury, using materials from sustainable sources. The smart rustic tables are unique, offering attractive and sturdy folding metal legs engineered to be wobble-free. The team are committed to making products in the most sustainable way possible. Because the tables don’t require cloths, clients can rest assured that they’re not contributing to further damage to the environment by fuelling the use of phosphates in the commercial cleaning of them. The legs are laser cut for repeatable accuracy and all tables are EHO friendly, with no gaps in the boards and are finished with a food-grade varnish. In addition to supplying both round and trestle tables in pine and solid oak, they also offer individual tabletop servers allowing for a full-service buffet to be placed on every table. Another great idea for weddings is the solid oak laser-etched table name placeholders. Not only are they unusual, but they can function as timeless and practical gifts for guests to take away and use as a mobile phone cradle or a photo plaque. www.oakandward.co.uk www.instagram.com/oakandward HARRIS & BLOOM SHOWCASES NEW DESIGNS Wedding stationer Amy Harris of Berkshire-based Harris & Bloom loves to work on high-quality designs featuring plenty of luxury details, as shown on these elegant stationery suites. Each piece is handmade and offers a selection of studio designs which are perfect for customising. Couples can also request a fully bespoke service if they have a vision in mind. Her wedding work includes pretty save-the-date cards and invitations plus on-the-day stationery and wedding signage with custom-made table plans. She says, “Wedding stationery should be perceived as an investment into the wedding day and something to be cherished.” Other handmade ideas include using handmade, slightly fluffy paper, name cards that double up as drink tokens, envelope liners, hot foiling and letterpress printing. www.harrisandbloom.com www.instagram.com/harrisandbloom www.facebook.com/HarrisandBloom 60
