Your Bristol & Somerset Wedding - June/July 2023 (Issue 95)

FESTIVAL A festival vibe is the ultimate expression of you. All bets are off and fusty old traditions are thrown out of the window. Consider hosting your celebrations in the great outdoors à la your favourite summer music festivals, and look for tipis or sailcloth tents for cover. Style with as much vibrant colour as possible and bags of fresh features such as streamers, bunting, disco balls, hay bales, barrels, wooden signage and festoon lighting.

It looks great paired with plenty of fresh foliage, green, copper and grey tones. Or why not add a splash of contrasting purple to really make it pop?” – Vickie Elliot, Sage and Belle, https://sageandbelle.co.uk Sage and Belle © https://helenrosephotography.com Sage and Belle © https://helenrosephotography.com “Rich, warm rust tones are more versatile than you might think. Featured in chair drapes, napkins or within floral displays, these hues give a warming feel perfect for autumnal nuptials bathed in candlelight. However, we’re also seeing them used to accent lighter summer designs. Used in small quantities set against a light base colour, rust and terracotta tones really pop and offer an edgy, contemporary look. Introducing terracotta pots, rust coloured tea lights and even flowers such as toffee roses, painted latte carnations or dried varieties, is a great way to achieve this look while keeping a light and bright overall feel.” – Holly Allman-Lopez, Ambience Venue Styling, www.ambiencevenuestyling.com Ambience Venue Styling © www.opperhillphotography.co.uk Ambience Venue Styling Bath Ambience Venue Styling © https://mapleandfleur.com VENUE STYLING 51
