Your Midlands Wedding - February/March 2026 (Issue 102)

SPRING MENU IDEAS Work with your caterer to create a seasonal menu. Keep canapés light and striking and for the main meal, consider options such as asparagus tarts, pea and mint risotto, corn-fed chicken supreme, herb-crusted lamb, grazing boards, floral salads and citrus desserts. Natural glow Keep makeup fresh and effortless with a dewy base, soft eyeshadow and gentle blush. A subtle pop of colour on the lips complements the springtime vibe. sueryder.org unsplash.com@gettyimages Confetti magic After you tie the knot, the confetti throw is a beautiful, celebratory moment. Choose biodegradable paper or dried petals in apricot, blush or pale blue. Ask guests to toss them up, not at you, as you don’t want a mouthful! SEASONAL BLOOMS With an abundance of seasonal flowers, you’re spoilt for choice! Think peonies, ranunculus, tulips, anemones, sweet peas and hyacinths – perfect for pastels or bright pops of colour. Loose wild arrangements, especially with wildflowers, add a romantic touch. unsplash.com@itsbrunoagain STYLED TABLES Mix textures like linen, ceramics and wood, layering in flowers, herbs, seasonal fruit and pastel glassware. Add candles or lanterns at varying heights for a whimsical, romantic vibe. unsplash.com@gettyimages unsplash.com@lillianette SPRING WEDDINGS 27
