T H E D E T A I L S

For this 40th, the smallest details were designed to feel as considered as the biggest.

The starting point was a gorgeous dinner plate with delicate pink florals. From there, @the.millustrator created a bespoke hand-painted design for the bar, the same motif then carried through the menus, personalised matchboxes and illustrated cocktail menus.

One beautiful idea, woven throughout the party.

Because it’s the details and the consistency of them that bring the whole design together.

THE ART OF THE CALLING CARD

A beautifully old-fashioned detail that we still adore.

Small, hand-calligraphed envelopes are arranged at the entrance, each bearing a guest’s name. Inside, their table number … an elegant way to guide everyone to their seats while discreetly keeping track of who has arrived.

Ours are beautifully illustrated and hand finished for us by The Millustrator - one of those tiny details that makes an arrival feel just that little bit more special.

Let them eat Pavlova…

A sparkling tower of berries and meringue, served in silver coupes.

Because a birthday cake should always make an entrance.

A playful palette of pastels - powder blues, sage greens and soft pinks, with flashes of orange, layered with fabulous florals, candelabras and candlelight.

Colourful, feminine, fun and fabulous.

A little piece of Italy in the heart of the Cotswolds. 💚🤍❤️

For this beautiful Italian birthday party, set against the rolling hills of the North Cotswolds, we wanted the celebration to feel completely connected to its surroundings.

We created an enchanted space that brought the outside in - layers of abundant foliage overhead, romantic pools of candlelight and tables overflowing with delicate pastel florals.

As daylight faded over the hills, the whole room began to glow. Warm, intimate and just a totally magical - as though the Cotswold landscape had simply continued inside.

A very special setting for a very special evening.

A summer evening, beautifully spent

To celebrate our client’s 21st birthday, we transformed the gardens of their family home into an elegant outdoor dining experience.

A single banqueting table stretched across the lawn beneath crystal chandeliers suspended from foliage-wrapped arches, while vibrant summer flowers brought colour and warmth to every place setting. As guests sipped cocktails in the evening sunshine, they enjoyed a relaxed dinner overlooking the house before the party continued with dancing on the terrace to DJ Carly!

There’s something wonderfully special about entertaining outdoors in the British summer, when thoughtful design, beautiful surroundings and great company come together so effortlessly.

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. ✨

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. ✨
