HOT TOPIC: wedding worries Our experts solve your problems PICTURE PERFECT I’m nervous in front of the camera and was wondering if booking a pre-wedding shoot would help, what are the benefits? A pre-wedding shoot is a great idea, especially if you’re feeling nervous about being photographed. It will give you an idea of how your shoot will go on your wedding day, but as it’s usually an hour-long session you can take your time, relax and hopefully have fun. The other advantage is you’ll have photos to use on your invitations, around your venue and on social media. Christina Davies www.fish2.co.uk www.fish2.co.uk SAY IT WITH FLOWERS We’re having a relaxed wedding; how can we reflect this in our flowers? Flowers are a great way to reflect how you want your wedding day to feel. If you want a relaxed and natural day, you can do this by using seasonal and wild flowers in simple, organic arrangements for a more free-flowing and natural appearance rather than the traditional structured look. Use the venue’s features to create a natural flow with the flowers. For example, if you’re having a barn wedding, a milk churn filled with wild flowers wouldn’t look out of place. Likewise if your venue is a country house, placing flowers on the fireplace will give a I’ve always been here look. If you’re feeling overwhelmed by your flowers, speak to your florist. They have lots of experience and will be able to make suggestions and help with decisions. Abbey James www.fleursandink.co.uk www.mickcookson.com EXPERT ADVICE 55
