FUR BABIES WELCOME! I’d love to bring my fur baby, a golden cockapoo, to our wedding but I just don’t know how to broach the subject with the venues. Is this a common ask? Don’t be nervous, this is becoming a standard question at viewings lately, as more and more couples want their dogs to be involved in their weddings. At That Amazing Place we love dogs and are totally dog friendly. They can even stay overnight, so you won’t have the worry of who will look after them whilst all your family and friends are celebrating with you. Angie Roberts That Amazing Place www.thatamazingplace.co.uk FESTIVAL QUEEN I’m having a festival themed wedding and want something to entertain the guests in the afternoon/evening. Do you have any suggestions? At a festival everyone likes to let their hair down and feel in the party spirit, so how about a glitter bar! Kids and adults will love it. Lucy’s Glitter Box has a biodegradable glitter bar, getting everyone in the festival spirit and then a photo booth to capture the special moments, creating a wonderful memento for your guests and a fabulous guestbook for you! Lucy’s Glitter Box is in a converted sequinned horse box, how more festival can it get?

For the real wow factor when you walk in the room, go big on florals and mass foliage for a wild and natural look. Hiring silk flower centrepieces can be more cost effective than fresh allowing you to go bigger for a smaller price. Choosing a good supplier that uses good quality silk flowers is a must, and your guests need never know that they’re not real! Ensure your display is on a transparent vase or a stand that doesn’t block the view when your guests are seated. Geometric stands are perfect as you can see right through them when sat at the table and they give a lovely height for that all important gorgeous silk flower display! Little details are also important – choose some candles at the base or hanging candles for that extra romantic touch. Mix and match! If you have over 10 tables, consider pairing with matching low centrepieces to give a mix of heights and interest in the room. And finally, don’t forget to consider your top table. Choose a luxury arrangement that complements your centrepieces, this could be an arrangement at the centre of your table, or a full-length floral runner for that added pizzazz!
