Your Surrey Wedding - October/November 2019 (Issue 79)

FUN IN THE SUN My wife-to-be and I are looking for a wow-factor honeymoon destination with lots of fun activities. Do you have any suggestions? Mauritius is the ideal place for honeymooners. There’s lots to do such as scuba diving, massages, golf, paragliding and buggy trips around the island. I suggest you look for a travel expert who can book everything for you and ensure your trip is perfect. Take a look at the Victoria Hotel & Spa. It’s nestled within 10 hectare of tropical gardens on the north west side of the island and stretches over more than a kilometre of white sand beaches. There are 40 bedrooms available with amazing views of the ocean and a range of luxurious amenities.

Blush is on-trend at the moment, it’s a great colour that will complement any time of year. Flower arches are also popular. They look amazing and create a fantastic backdrop for your ceremony.

Do you have any suggestions? s There are lots of beautiful arrangements and hues available this time of year, including soft creams, warm burnt oranges. hydrangeas, dahlias and feathery astilbes. s Avoid flowers that look too Christmassy and look for pastel shades and rich natural tones. s Use seasonal pods and berries to lift and add texture to your blooms. s Remember, you can use different components to add interest, such as pheasant feathers and fresh fruit. s Incorporate naked branches like contorted willow or foliage picked from a hedgerow. s If you’re looking for inspiration, go for a stroll on a lovely frosty morning and take in the different colours of the landscape.
