Your North West Wedding- February/March 2022 (Issue 72)

“Sage green was a popular trend in 2021 that will continue into 2022. Couples will embrace the hue and incorporate it into their décor with items such as velvet table cloths and napkin dressings.” – Mel Kilner from Add a Little Sparkle Lancs Ltd. The latest wedding trends Dreamy décor “This year will be full of botanical setups with fairytale lighting and lots of candles. The must-have limewash Chiavari chairs will look great with lots of foliage, greenery and pampas grass.” – Victoria Rawlins from Blossom and Bows Event Hire. www.instagram.com/blossomandbowseventhire and www.jameshicksphotography.co.uk We’ve been on a rollercoaster of restrictions, social distancing and guidelines over the last few years and as a result, the wedding industry has constantly been adapting. In this feature, we wanted to explore how wedding trends have changed and what’s set to be popular in 2022. www.florenceandvera.co.uk www.fleurdesigns.co.uk and www.anthonyivesphoto.com “Romantic fresh eucalyptus with David Austin white roses and lots of gorgeous candlelight is a popular look. Barn venues will be decorated with sage green chair drapes and glass standing candles that frame the aisle.” – Jennifer Pritchard from Fleur Designs. “The tick-box exercise of including everything is a thing of the past. Couples are keeping their guest lists lean, and why not? Restrictions during the pandemic have meant that numbers had to be kept smaller, but the trend for this continues, keeping things more personal and lowerkey than ever before. The introduction of elements to the tablescape is definitely on the up! Charger plates, mixed linen and napkins, gold cutlery and glassware are all huge parts of the detailed styling couples are choosing to have. The finer details are becoming much more important.” – Kate from Florence & Vera Events. www.addalittlesparkle.com/lancashire and www.instagram.com/shaunpeckham “Lot of couples gravitate to botanical and rustic themes. This seems to stem from the increased desire to be more sustainable and use more natural materials. Pampas grass, eucalyptus and wooden items such as slices or grates are still firm favourites. I expect we will see linens and lace replace the traditional organza and taffeta chair sashes and table runners.” – Dai Watson from Allure Venue Styling. www.allurevenuestyling.co.uk www.wordstoglow.co.uk “Here at Words To Glow, we think bespoke backdrops that can be personalised with neon messages, surnames, or Insta-worthy quotes will continue to be popular.” – Jenni Toothill from Words To Glow. 75 VENUE STYLING
