Holly & James — Their story

A dreamy summer celebration

Holly and James’ wedding at Merriscourt was the epitome of romantic summer elegance. Surrounded by the venue’s beautiful countryside setting, their day embraced soft, timeless styling with a palette of fresh greens, crisp whites and delicate hints of blush and peach.

The vision was to create a celebration that felt light, romantic and effortlessly inviting. To bring this to life, I styled both the ceremony and wedding breakfast spaces, carefully layering beautiful details throughout the venue. The standout design feature was the flowing ceiling draping, which transformed the space and created a soft, ethereal atmosphere from the moment guests arrived.

The floral design complemented the styling perfectly, with delicate blooms adding movement, texture and softness throughout the day. Combined with elegant stationery, candlelight and thoughtfully styled details, the result was a wedding that felt both refined and wonderfully relaxed.

One of the things I loved most about Holly and James’ wedding was how seamlessly every element worked together to create an atmosphere that felt romantic, welcoming and completely personal to them. The day was filled with warmth, laughter and beautiful moments shared with family and friends. A perfect example of modern romantic wedding styling at Merriscourt, this celebration was timeless, elegant and full of charm.

Kind words

What Holly & James Said

"We had the absolute pleasure of working with Katie Kellett for our wedding at Merriscourt in Chipping Norton, and I can honestly say she was phenomenal. From the moment we met her, Kate understood our vision and brought it to life with such elegance, creativity, and attention to detail. The venue looked breathtaking—every corner was styled to perfection. Kate’s eye for design is exceptional, and she managed to blend our ideas with her own flair to create something truly magical. Our guests couldn’t stop complimenting the décor, and walking into the White Barn for our wedding breakfast felt like stepping into a dream. Kate was also incredibly professional and warm throughout the process. She made everything feel effortless and was always one step ahead, ensuring the day ran smoothly. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your wedding like her own masterpiece, Kate is your person. Thank you, Kate, for making our day unforgettable. You’re a styling superstar!"
