“This year, I believe that couples are understanding that weddings can be sustainable and the importance of making ethical choices for their big day. By choosing to hire instead of buying, companies are reducing single-use products and waste to recyclable components wherever possible. Couples are aware of the footprint their wedding may create and are making conscious choices.” – Lesley from White Fern Weddings. “Statement florals, whether these are floral gateways or statement urns, are going to be big and wild in 2024. Couples are bringing the outdoors in and creating the wow factor with installations that reflect the way in which flowers grow.” – Emma from Emex Events. DÉCOR Dreamy The latest venue styling trends If you’ve booked your venue, then the next thing you’ll be thinking about is how to style it. With so many options available, this can seem like a daunting task, but the most important thing to remember is that any space can be transformed with even the simplest of details. To help give you some inspiration, we’ve asked local suppliers for their 2024 trend predictions. “Thinking about the space as a whole can really help create maximum impact. We're seeing brides and grooms opting for varied-height centrepieces rather than matching ones to draw the eye around the room and create interest at different height levels, creating that real wow factor.” – Emma Wall from Emex Events. www.emexevents.co.uk & Adam Lynk Photography www.emexevents.co.uk & www.dmcclane.com www.emexevents.co.uk & Adam Lynk Photography www.whitefernweddings.co.uk & www.christinasarah.com “We are seeing a lot of colour this year, from bold brights to whimsical pastels. Couples are really experimenting with colour for their big day and we are here for it. We will still see classic looks such as black and white and green and white coming through this year, but in my opinion, monochromatic vibes will never go out of style.” – Lesley Stokes from White Fern Weddings. www.whitefernweddings.co.uk and www.nelliephotography.co.uk Getty Images Candles provide the ultimate wow factor. Opt for tapered-coloured candles to help add height and colour to your décor. VENUE STYLING 49
