They are versatile and can be reused throughout your wedding day.” – Abbey from Fleurs&Ink. “DIY styling and re-purposing flowers is becoming popular with couples wanting to find innovative ways to make the most of their wedding flowers, such as repurposing ceremony flowers as table centrepieces at the reception. Not only is this more economical for couples, but it’s also better for the environment.” – Indie from IndieBloom. “Tapered candles and bud vases are a more cost-effective way of dressing your table, but they look more elegant than jam jars. Tapered-coloured candles help add height and colour to the table décor.” – Jemma from Jemma Khan Studio. www.designhutweddingandeventstyling.co.uk VENUE STYLING 65
