Counting down to the summer season with this golden Cotswolds lunch party. Yellow and white stripes, rattan textures, and abundant florals set the tone for a long afternoon where every detail whispered of sunnier days ahead.

With ice-cold rosé and a vibrant Ottolenghi-inspired menu, it’s the kind of summer moment we can’t wait to recreate.

Love was in the air this weekend, and it did not stop raining - proper British romance at its finest.

But as this beautiful moment at Ragley Hall proves, a little rain only adds to the magic. Umbrellas up, champagne flowing, and the rain completely ignored.

There is something wonderfully cinematic about a wedding in the rain - intimate, atmospheric, unmistakably British. When the love is this strong, the weather simply becomes part of the story….

The entrance sets the tone for everything that follows. At Henry Bonas, it is never simply about arriving - it is about creating an unforgettable moment.

From leaving the church by horse and cart, rolling through the Dorset countryside, to drawing up to the drama of Lulworth Castle, this journey marked the start of an unforgettable evening.

Beneath a beautifully curated floral archway, their first steps inside were perfectly framed - a photograph, a statement, a memory in the making.

Because arrival matters.

Earlier this summer, we hosted a party inspired by an enchanted forest - with a marquee transformed into a woodland wonderland.

The enchanted forest theme carried through every detail, from bespoke stationery and natural toned tableware to immersive entertainment and abundant florals. Arrangements in soft pinks, lilacs and deep woodland greens spilled across the tables, while towering tree-like displays created a canopy overhead. Layered with moss, trailing foliage and the gentle glow of candlelight, the scene felt as though guests were dining on the forest floor beneath the moonlight.

An unforgettable evening of enchantment…

Last year we brought bold nostalgia and bespoke design together for an unforgettable “80s themed” 40th birthday. Guests were immersed in the era from the moment they arrived…

A roaming band brought the 80s energy playing all the greatest hits, while the room was illuminated with larger than life 80s icons - from Madonna and Prince to Pat Sharp and Adam Ant!! Every detail reminded guests of the 80s era… Rubik’s Cube poseur tables, Pac-Man stationery, and cassette tape name place settings. Even the illuminated tables added a retro twist of fun and elegance to the dining experience.

The evening unravelled with a neon disco themed photo booth, retro cocktail bar, and a DJ booth styled like a giant boombox. The Top of the Pops inspired dance floor, complete with truss fittings and silver disco balls, provided the perfect setting for guests to dance the night away.

Designing and delivering immersive themed parties is where Henry Bonas truly excels - transforming concepts into beautifully executed, one-of-a-kind parties!

Another truly unforgettable evening executed in luxurious style!

A magical winter wonderland came to life in the Cotswolds for a glamorous joint 50th celebration. Guests were greeted with a champagne reception and delicious canapés, setting the tone for an unforgettable evening. The winter glam theme sparkled through every detail, from the sophisticated cocktail bar to the decadent bowl food. As the night unfolded, the energy soared with dancing, fueled by the beats of a DJ accompanied by live percussion. Espresso martinis added a touch of warmth to the festivities, creating the perfect atmosphere for celebrating this milestone in true luxury style. A night to remember!

Candlelight is one of the fastest ways to turn a party into something far more romantic.

For this winter 50th, we created a ceiling of candles suspended inside a marquee set within our client’s garden. As night fell, the atmosphere shifted into something darker, warmer and more intimate, with the flicker of candlelight making guests feel as though they were dining beneath the stars.

Perfect for Christmas, when everything should feel a little richer and more indulgent.

The marquee was designed to sit comfortably within its surroundings, wrapping around the existing Cotswold stone wall so the garden became part of the room, creating a space that felt effortless and entirely at home in the garden.

A setting designed for unhurried evenings. Candlelight never tries too hard, and that’s exactly why it works.

Another unforgettable evening ✨

We had the privilege of designing and delivering this gorgeous wedding in the heart of the Cotswolds - a setting that perfectly captures the romance and elegance of winter at its finest.

Guests dined beneath the moonlit sky and the star-lit lining of a lakeside marquee. Tables glowed with layers of candlelight, from tall candelabras to the soft flicker of tea lights, while abundant green and white florals brought a natural softness.

As night fell, the lakeside marquee offered a striking view of the laser show as it lit up the waterfront, marking a spectacular transition into the evening’s party.

For the first dance, we created a dramatic drop reveal, unveiling the couple in a way that felt elegant, unexpected and truly memorable. What followed was an unforgettable party. With guests filling the dance floor, cocktails flowing, and energy soaring well into the early hours. It was the kind of night people will be talking about for years to come.

At Henry Bonas, our passion lies in crafting exceptional weddings, each entirely bespoke and thoughtfully curated.

For couples getting engaged this Christmas and dreaming of a 2026 wedding, our team is available to bring your vision to life. As industry experts, we thrive on short lead times and deliver extraordinary quality, whatever the timeframe.

Earlier this year we shared a glimpse of this exquisite wedding in the Malvern Hills and as winter draws in, 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 winter 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.

Last week’s rain has brought back memories of one of our favourite events - an immersive, underwater themed party that transported guests to a world beneath the waves. At Henry Bonas, we’re all about creating experiences that captivate the imagination and this event was nothing short of extraordinary.

The reception kicked off in spectacular style with a shipwreck bar, where bartenders dressed as sailors served sea inspired cocktails. Stilt walking mermaids entertained guests, while a lively sea shanty band set the perfect nautical tone. But then, the sea turned violent - waves crashed and lights flashed. Pirates, brandishing swords, appeared from the mist and led guests through a cascading waterfall and into an extraordinary underwater dining tent.

Inside, ship portholes offered views of the deep ocean and jellyfish lights floated overhead. The dining tables draped in deep blue linens, were adorned with coral accents and flickering candlelight. Fishermen humorously sold fish to delighted guests while scuba divers swam around the room.

At Henry Bonas, we love creating experiences that transport guests into another world and this evening was truly unforgettable! ✨

For Jackie & Leo’s Warwickshire wedding, we transformed an orangery into an enchanted garden - cascades of wisteria, crystal chandeliers, a hand painted chequered floor and a bespoke wooden table stretching the length of the room. Soft creams, sage greens and touches of gold created a scene of timeless elegance 🤍

A truly magical celebration in the Warwickshire countryside - thank you @jaxcey1229 & @leomahon28 for trusting us to bring your vision to life.

This weekend guests gathered in tipi tents and partied into the early hours as fireworks to music lit up the night sky ✨

As the nights draw in we celebrate the start of the winter party season - a moment to embrace the colder months ahead, when roaring fire pits and the glow of candlelight make the countryside feel truly magical!

Another unforgettable evening for the Henry Bonas team….

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.

This summer we had the pleasure of hosting a very special 3-day party at the magnificent Kirtlington Park in Oxfordshire for overseas guests seeking the ultimate quintessentially British experience.

From elegant private dinners to live bands, opera performances, gun dog displays and more …. every moment was designed to immerse our guests in the Great British culture and beauty.

A highlight of the weekend included a private guided tour of Blenheim Palace, where history and grandeur set the perfect backdrop for unforgettable memories.

We were thrilled to work with the brilliant @cellarsociety, who provided the most exquisite food throughout the weekend, dining that was as creative as it was delicious.

A truly magical weekend celebrating Britain at its finest.

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.
