Your Kent Wedding - Page number 60 - July/August 2021 (Issue 97)

60 TABLE DÉCOR Daniel says, “Tall centrepieces increase height making the space look full with impact and an edge of drama. Perfect for high spaces like marquees.” Natasha tells us, “Your tables will occupy a significant amount space, so don’t neglect them. Use exquisite items from glassware to sumptuous high- quality linen and furnishings to lend an exceptional look and feel.” GET PERSONAL Natasha says, “Your wedding is about reflecting you as a couple, so beginning with a blank canvas is a fantastic opportunity. Discuss what elements are important for the both of you to have included, then use these to create statement features. For example, a beautiful floral display or a sumptuous dessert table. This way you’ll build key areas and provide focal points that double as fab photo hotspots.” Melanie agrees, “You don’t want your wedding to look like every other and that’s the beauty of starting from scratch. It allows you to bring in your personal style that doesn’t have to stop at colour alone. For example, if you have a love of all things vintage, then include retro-style furniture and rustic props. Or, perhaps you lean towards modern and sleek vibes – no problem, simply incorporate contemporary sofas with plenty of mirrors and glass. LIGHT THE WAY Natasha says, “Clever use of lighting really helps to create the right atmosphere. Illuminating key places during the evening will add drama as well as an alternative look as celebrations progress.” Daniel agrees, “Uplighters bring a colour palette together while creating interest and beauty. They make a space appear theatrical, warm and vibrant, without being over-the-top.” Shelly Pence for Pearline Events w ww.maxeenkimphotography.com
