Few wedding backdrops can rival the drama and romance of Lulworth Castle. Set in the heart of Dorset’s rolling countryside, this magnificent 17th-century castle offers an unforgettable setting.

From the grand approach through the parkland to golden-hour photographs against the castle’s historic stone walls, every corner feels effortlessly cinematic.

Timeless architecture, breathtaking views and a sense of occasion from the moment guests arrive — it’s easy to see why Lulworth Castle remains one of England’s most sought-after wedding venues.

A setting as unforgettable as the day itself…

The wow factor is that unforgettable moment when guests arrive and instantly know they’re somewhere extraordinary.

It’s not about extravagance for its own sake; it’s about creating surprise, delight and a sense of magic through beautifully considered details.

At Henry Bonas, we create those moments that guests talk about long after the party ends. ✨

T I P I S

From golden daylight to glowing amber nights ✨

By day, our tipi tents feel effortlessly rustic chic - layered with natural textures, earthy greens, and burnt orange tones that sit beautifully against the landscape. As the sun sets, the transformation begins…

Soft amber lighting flickers through the canvas, fire pits glow, and the space becomes warm, intimate, and inviting. Rugs, throws and soft furnishings create the perfect cosy atmosphere for guests to gather, unwind, and linger long after dinner over cocktails by the fire.

A space designed to feel just as magical at midnight as it does at midday.

Another truly unforgettable party!

An intimate summer dinner at Kirtlington Park - long tables dressed in soft pinks and whites, overflowing with figs, pomegranates, grapes and the freshest seasonal fruits as a nod to the start of summer.

Guests gathered for a beautifully relaxed evening, with candlelight flickering across the tables and a delicious three-course dinner by @cellarsociety served against the grandeur of this stunning Oxfordshire setting.

Fresh, elegant and quietly abundant - exactly the kind of evening we love to create.

London’s Rosewood Hotel was transformed into a world of Parisian decadence for an unforgettable evening of partying. Guests were immersed in the glamour of Montmartre, with burlesque dancers and singers performing iconic favourites including Come What May and Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend.

The stage shimmered beneath a bespoke heart-shaped backdrop, framed by dazzling Eiffel Tower and Windmill bar sets. Rich red striped satin cloths, flickering candlelight and ornate lamps set a scene of pure romance and drama.

An evening where every detail whispered spectacle, style and splendour.

When the formalities are complete and the music takes over, something shifts.

The lighting softens and the dancefloor comes alive.

At this wedding, we transformed a marquee into something far more immersive - a garden ceiling installation overhead, delicate pendant bulbs casting a warm glow, and perfectly balanced dancefloor lighting that carried the energy late into the night.

It’s often the detail guests don’t consciously notice, but always feel.

And in that moment, when everyone is dancing - we step back (just for a minute) and take it all in!

Another unforgettable weekend. ✨

As evening fell over the Malvern Hills, the atmosphere shifted entirely.

Framed by sweeping views across the valley, the marquee came alive as the pianist opened the evening with a high-energy set that had everyone on the dance floor before the last of the light had faded. What followed was an effortless transition into a live percussion set, building into a vibrant disco that carried the party late into the night.

From dancing beneath the starlit sky to the energy inside the marquee, it was the kind of evening no one wanted to end - the perfect close to an unforgettable wedding weekend. ✨

Earlier this year we shared a glimpse of this exquisite wedding in the Malvern Hills and as we get closer to summer, it feels like the perfect moment to revisit one of this season’s most memorable occasions.

From the elegant outdoor ceremony accompanied by a live string quartet to the champagne reception by the pool, complete with oyster shucking, every detail was thoughtfully considered to create a weekend of effortless luxury. As dusk fell, guests moved into a bespoke marquee on the hillside, where panoramic views over the valley framed an unforgettable evening. ✨

With spring engagements now happening, many couples are beginning to plan their own wedding weekends for 2026 and beyond. If you’re newly engaged and looking for a designer and planner to craft something truly exceptional, we would be delighted to hear from you.

The sunshine this week feels like a little glimpse of summer here in England…

We hope you all had a wonderful Easter weekend - full of long lunches and time spent outdoors.

A recent garden celebration for our clients captured this mood perfectly - soft yellows and blues, effortless tables, and an atmosphere that carried gently from afternoon into evening.

Soft pastels, timeless elegance, and the promise of spring…

@leonorasmee’s wedding was a vision of sophistication, where every detail was elevated by a refined palette of spring pastels.

The floral artistry of @johncarterflowers brought understated elegance to every bloom, with blush pinks, powder blues, and gentle greens.

Celebrating Easter and the season in its softest, most refined shades - wishing everyone a wonderful weekend!

This summer we transformed our client’s walled garden into an enchanting celebration of love. Inspired by Shakespeare’s magical world, we brought the beauty of the garden inside the marquee - weaving fresh fruits, garden vegetables, herbs, and luscious flowers into every detail. 🌿🍇🌸

Guests gathered around one long banqueting table, serenaded by roaming musicians, while sharing exquisite food and delicious wines late into the evening. A night of laughter, beauty, and timeless romance.

This summer in the Cotswolds, the rain poured, but the party never paused. Guests dined in tipi tents adorned with chandeliers, fire pits, and falling foliage, surrounded by romantic red florals.

A roaming band brought music to dinner, before fireworks lit up the skies. The night danced on with a DJ set and live percussion - the tipi was alive with rhythm, laughter and cocktails!

As the night drew to a close, guests wandered back to the pop-up glamping village. By morning, they woke to delicious bacon rolls and fresh coffee - the perfect finale to a truly unforgettable party.

A beautiful spring baby shower in the Cotswolds 🌿

A good garden party comes down to a few things done well: cold cocktails, fresh oysters, and a relaxed garden full of friends.

Our oyster shucker worked his way through the crowd with buckets hanging from his belt, opening oysters to order with quick, practised hands while cocktails made their way around the lawn.

Simple things, done well, make for a very good afternoon.
