VENUE STYLING 51 FILE Style Want to wow your wedding crowd with a venue styled to perfection? These Essex businesses are here to help GET STYLISH WITH DECORATIONS “Boho is still a big wedding trend, evolving recently towards geometric party props and retro shapes,” says Laura Celiz from Braintree’s Rock The Day. “Pampas grass and dried florals are key to this look, with the gorgeous fusion of bespoke elements and natural materials proving very popular. Carefully selected theme and party props can make or break this trend, with boho-style dome shaped backdrops in warm earthy colours, as well as wicker and bamboo lampshades, dyed muslin drapes and runners. The flowy and free-spirited boho decorations, used with an emphasis on organic elements and nature, make it a favourite for many.” DO “Stick to your theme and colour palette.” DON’T “Do too much. Remember: sometime less is more.” CONTACT www.rocktheday.co.uk GET STYLISH WITH FLOWERS “We’re seeing many couples opt for loose, more natural blooms,” says Kelleyann Phythian from Wethersfield’s Honeysuckle Flowers. “Roses, hydrangeas and peonies remain popular; however, couples now want seasonal and locally-sourced, too. For a wow factor you can’t beat a large flower arch above the ceremony doors. Aisle meadows, flowers placed on either side of the aisle, draw guests’ eyes along a sea of blooms leading to the altar or ceremony table. If having round tables at your reception, use tall table displays with tumbling flowers and foliage for drama. If using long tables, one continuous centre arrangement with repeating blooms adds an opulent feel.” DO “Be honest about your budget, so your florist can design your flower package accordingly. There are ways to save money, such as faux flowers and reusing displays.” DON’T “Waste money decorating areas that won’t be seen much. Nobody needs a flower on their napkin.” CONTACT https://honeysuckleflowers.co.uk www.threeflowersphotography.co.uk https://pengelly-photography.co.uk https://pengelly-photography.co.uk www.elizabethjayneweddings.com www.elizabethjayneweddings.com www.elizabethjayneweddings.com
