Bugle House 💞 very proud to be a recommended supplier at this gorgeous venue, alongside some incredibly talented suppliers and genuine industry pals.

It’s such a beautiful venue and the team there will make sure your day is unforgettable. A true mixture of timeless glamour and fun. As their iconic neon sign down in the basement bar says, “what happens at The Bugle, stays at The Bugle” 🪩🕺🏼💃

I can’t wait to get cracking on some 2027 weddings here…

A pastel romance at New Place 🤍🌸

A vision I’ve had in my head brought to life. Soft pastels, delicate florals, beautiful details and a little bit of drama! all set against the gorgeous backdrop of New Place Hotel.

I absolutely loved organising and photographing this styled shoot and bringing together such a talented team of suppliers. From the powder blue tablescape and romantic pink florals to that incredible dress, statement cake and veil shots, every detail came together beautifully.

And of course, we had to finish with a little smoke bomb moment at those iconic gates 🤍

A huge thank you to everyone involved in making the vision happen…I couldn’t have created it without you.

What a day!

Saturday was spent at the beautiful Alverbank Hotel celebrating L & B as two cultures came together, bringing their Persian and English families into one. It was such a privilege to capture every moment of such a love-filled day.

A huge thank you to my amazing second photographer, Kelly.

Congratulations again, L & B! Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness. xxx

A pretty, green ombre wedding cake from a stunning marquee wedding near Stonehenge a few weeks ago. I was so pleased with how well it matched the decor.

The bride said:

"I just wanted to share the wonderful experience we had with Laura's Kitchen Cakery for our wedding cake. Laura truly went above and beyond for us, from the very first email, her attention to detail and genuine care was clear. The cake itself was absolutely stunning and tasted incredible; it was a huge talking point at our wedding, with so many guests complimenting both the look and the flavour. Laura matched the design perfectly to our wedding decor, which really helped to make the day feel extra special.

The whole process was seamless and stress free, with Laura always quick to respond and incredibly helpful when it came to decisions about design and logistics. Even after the event, she handled the return of the cake stand and refund of the security deposit efficiently. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience, Laura made everything so easy and enjoyable.

If you’re looking for a reliable, creative, and talented baker for your special occasion, I can wholeheartedly recommend Laura’s Kitchen Cakery. Thank you again, Laura, for your hard work and the joy you brought to our day!"
