Often the most exciting part of wedding planning, it’s also hard to know where to start. We caught up with some Essex venue stylists to get the lowdown on dressing three types of wedding. So take these ideas, and run with them… rosedecorstyling.co.uk fairytale-finishes.co.uk A quintessentially English garden wedding “A few carefully selected items can add pretty glamour without being flashy. We love our ivory heart lanterns and bay trees for an al fresco feel.” – Gemma Waters, Fairytale Finishes “We’re seeing a rise in the wild, unkempt garden look and I love it! It’s all about using varying textures. For the eco-conscious, this theme is ideal for mixing in upcycled elements and mismatched antiques.” – Rosie Obeney, Rose Decor Styling “Choose rustic décor pieces such as wooden LOVE letters to tie in with a countryside location.” – Emma and Scott Mead, Aurora Pearl “Flowers are an absolute must for this theme; imagine everything from individual hanging stems to large floral arches. English blooms such as roses, ranunculi and stocks are perfect. You don’t need to tie the knot outside, you can just bring the outdoors in.” – Rosie Obeney, Rose Decor Styling “There’s a definite rise in couples incorporating more colour into their big day and this theme lends itself brilliantly to that. I adore a mix of bold and neutral colours; blush, mint and lavender can work really well together. Add a pop of colour to bring the setting to life.” – Rosie Obeney, Rose Decor Styling Greenery combined with twinkling chandeliers will give an A Midsummer Night’s Dream vibe.
