A PORTRAIT OF LOVE Abby Laing at A Little Brush says, “As a watercolour artist specialising in custom wedding venue portraits and bespoke stationery, I believe one of the most meaningful finishing touches a couple can add is a hand-painted illustration of their venue. It’s a beautiful way to celebrate the place where they said, ‘I do’ and brings a truly personal, artistic element to the day. Our bespoke artworks can be displayed at the reception – often near the guest book or cake table – used across all types of stationery from save the dates to on-the-day signage, and later treasured as a keepsake in the couple’s home. We also create custom pet portraits, which are incredibly popular and add a charming personal touch to wedding décor and printed pieces alike.” PLACE, SET, KEEP Rosie adds, “Create a focal point in each place setting that also serves as a keepsake. My range of gold papercut decorations is a perfect example – they’re quick to place, take just 10 seconds to set around the table, and really stand out. Each one can be customised to suit your wedding theme. In recent years, we’ve created designs featuring butterflies, bees, and dragonflies – we’ve seen a real buzz around bees, thanks to Bridgerton and the English Regency trend! We also offer bespoke options, from specific flowers to elements inspired by your wedding stationery. These decorations become a beautiful, eye-catching feature on the table, and guests love taking them home – whether they’re tucked into a memory box, pinned to a board, or even framed and displayed.” SEATING WITH STYLE Weddings can be long events, so it’s essential to have a dedicated area where guests can retreat for a quiet moment to catch up with loved ones or rest before hitting the dancefloor. Prop hire is a perfect eco-friendly and cost-effective way to create a cosy seating area, incorporating sofas, rugs, cushions, blankets, and more. Work with your venue to find the ideal setting that’s close enough to the action but still offers a sense of calm and comfort, giving guests the perfect balance between celebration and relaxation. TOWER OF LOVE Victoria adds, “Macaron towers are a stunning alternative to traditional cakes, or they can serve as a beautiful focal point on a wedding reception or dessert table. Not only do they catch the eye, but they also offer guests a chance to indulge in a sweet treat, creating an interactive experience for all.” https://nikkiwatkinsphotoandfilm.com https://azurecreative.co.uk https://unsplash.com/@anitaaustvika https://nikkiwatkinsphotoandfilm.com 42
