Your Gloucestershire and Wiltshire Wedding- Page number 52 - October/November 2021 (Issue 29)

Meet the expert: Sandra Trusty is the owner of Fabulous Functions, a wedding planning service based in Wiltshire specialising in transforming venues for weddings and celebrations. Sandra says: Mini meadows (pictured) are the perfect choice for styling your venue for a small wedding ceremony because they are so versatile. They can be placed in front of the ceremony table or used as aisle décor and then transferred to the top table or cake table during the wedding breakfast and reception. Not only do they look pretty, but they can also be gifted to guests at the end of the evening. Why not consider using dried flowers in some of them that will keep as a reminder of the wedding?

Hannah says: Micro weddings give couples the option to host a scaled-down event spending quality time with a hand-picked selection of their loved ones. Dressing a venue for a smaller wedding can be an emotional experience because everything seems more intimate and magnified and the table decorations, place names and favours can be more elaborate because there’s often a larger budget available to spend on those all-important finishing touches. A sweetheart table used as the top table is a beautiful addition that allows the happy couple time to sit together and share precious moments. There’s always the option to host a lavish party afterwards with a larger guest list.
