Inspired by a lifelong passion for art, surface pattern design and beautifully crafted functional pieces, Heart Art Crockery Hire is a British designer-led wedding styling and crockery hire business based in Bristol.
Every designer crockery collection has been designed by founder Nikki Ashton, whose work has previously been showcased in John Lewis. Beautifully paired with carefully sourced linens and thoughtfully curated styling pieces, each collection is created to achieve elegant, romantic tablescapes that feel timeless, refined and uniquely personal.
Known for beautifully considered styling and meticulous attention to detail, Heart Art Crockery Hire believes that the smallest details often make the greatest impression. Every table is thoughtfully curated with an eye for colour, texture and balance, creating settings that not only complement each venue but also reflect the individuality and vision of every couple.
From intimate celebrations and stylish afternoon tea wedding receptions to larger wedding celebrations and special events, Nikki offers a warm, personal service from the very first conversation. Taking the time to understand each couple's ideas and aspirations, she works closely with them to create beautifully styled settings that are as memorable as the occasion itself.
Inspired by the words of William Morris,
"Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful."
This philosophy continues to inspire every collection, every carefully chosen detail and every table setting created by Heart Art Crockery Hire.

Meet the team
Hello, I'm Nikki, the founder and creative mind behind Heart Art Crockery Hire.
Creativity has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. From a young age, I was always drawing, and that passion naturally evolved into a creative career centred around art, design, and a love of beautiful detail. Over the years, my work has included designing collections that have been showcased in John Lewis, an experience that further strengthened my passion for creating thoughtfully considered designs.
Today, that same creative approach is at the heart of Heart Art Crockery Hire. I carefully design and curate elegant table settings, combining my own designer crockery collections with beautifully sourced vintage linens and thoughtfully chosen styling pieces to create settings that feel both timeless and personal. I believe every celebration deserves beautifully considered details that reflect each couple's individual vision, and it is a privilege to play a small part in such a special occasion.
As William Morris so beautifully said:
"Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful."
This philosophy has stayed with me throughout my creative journey and continues to inspire every collection and every table setting I create.
I look forward to meeting you and hearing all about your plans for your special day.
