Your London Wedding - January/February 2022 (Issue 81)

BEVERLEY WILSON, BEVERLEY WILSON FLOWERS www.beverleywilson.com Dressing a mantlepiece… This creates a beautiful focal area. From adorning with simple greenery, to an abundance of candles adding beauty and elegance, to a full-on large statement floral mantel design. Staircase designs… A staircase is a perfect way to make a stunning entrance. Adding florals to simple handrails immediately upgrades the look and feel of your event and brings glamour on its reveal. You can create designs with greenery, lush florals and simple candle and petals arrangements. The combinations are endless. Centrepieces… A venue with tall ceilings could accommodate large centrepieces and a mix of high and low arrangements brings variety and interest to your tables. Glass vases and stands, are perfect and don’t restrict vision. Incorporate candelabras, cylinder candle vases and metal stands to add drama and luxury. Banquet and long tables lend themselves to table runner styles, with either tall centrepieces, foliage and flower runners, or an abundance of small bud vases filled with flowers along the entire length of the table. Candle decor… Decorating with candles makes a beautiful and warm atmosphere and if your venue allows it, naked flames create a mysterious and uber glamourous finish to your floral designs. LED candles are an alternative and there are very real and authentic candle varieties available. Candles create accent lighting and you can use various styles – floating, taper, hanging candles, tealights, candle sticks and candelabras. Aisle and chair decor… The aisle is such a special area of your wedding and simple décor elevates it. Chair decorations also frame your aisle. Line your aisle with petals, flowers and candles for that wow-factor. @federicamarte @federicamarte www.hiramtrillo.com https://spostophotography.com www.boatengphotographic.com https://laurenfairphotography.com www.cmorevision.com www.fringe-photography.com www.cmorevision.com POPULAR FLOWERS AND FOLIAGE… • Ranunculas - Italian Ranunculi is widely available in the UK.
