Florists 

Ok, we admit it - we're a bit biased when it comes to florists as we are lucky enough to work closely with Jan from Daisy Chain Florists in Quedgley. Jan provides us with all the beautiful floral displays at our studio, and her wedding flowers are second to none.

Jan offers a generous 10% discount to all Blenheim Photography customers too so speak to her today for a quote - 01452 886511 or click HERE to visit her website !

Wedding Jewellery 

Wedding Dresses & Lingerie 

Again, we're biased when it comes to lingerie and wedding dresses - Lindsay and Lee from Angels Carrying Savage Weapons create the most beautiful made-to-measure corsets and wedding dresses we have ever seen - totally unique and each one hand made and cut from their own patterns. A few of the female members of our team have been customers of "Angels..." and we can vouch first-hand for the pure quality and utter gorgeousness (is there such a word?) of their clothing.

Check out their website by clicking HERE and transport yourself back to that glamourous time from the forties and fifties when real women had curves and were sensual and beautiful.

Hair & Beauty 

We are lucky enough to be able to use Sanchia Finlay’s make-up services at our studio and for many of our wedding bookings, but as a freelance make up artist she is also available for you to book directly for your wedding or event. Sanchia is a Mac Pro member and a Member of the Guild of Beauty Therapists and in Summer 2007 most recently qualified as an airbrush make up artist at the Media Make Up Training

scarlett are a professional band available to provide music for your event. They play a wide selection of music from the last 5 decades and can cover particular song needs if required. Their typical set consists of two parts each lasting approximately 1 hour but they can change this again at your request. Their availability is always worth checking, even for last minute arrangements, as it is typical for dates to move and change allowing them to fit shows in at short notice on occasion.

We have worked with scarlett on many occasions and can't recommend Sarah and the band highly enough - in fact we have been using their cd as background music in the studio ! Click HERE or on the logo to go to their webite and listen to sound clips from one of their sets..
