HOT TOPIC Local experts offer stellar advice on wedding dilemmas ALL IN THE DETAIL We’ve just started wedding planning; what are the latest venue styling trends? Styling themes centred around the already popular colours of sage, forest and emerald greens, as well as dusky pink are always great options. These colour schemes combined with candles, foliage and neutral flowers complemented by touches of gold are very on-trend and will be around for a while. We’re also experiencing a growing trend for a relaxed and bohemian theme with chic touches. Think natural elements meet elegance with dried grasses, pampas and other dried flowers with earthy peaches and pale pink tones. Table décor will be set out in a more deconstructed, informal and versatile way to create many interesting features for your guests with various rustic gold candlesticks and glass bud vases with matching sprigs of flowers for that truly vintage feel. Bright colours and fun elements are starting to appear in venue styling and décor, with pops of orange, bright pinks, reds and yellows. My favourite trend is the return of glam disco balls, where the light bounces around the room and gets your guests into a party mood. We’re expecting this to be a big trend going into 2024. Jackie Aimson | Dreamdecor www.facebook.com/dreamdecoreventhire BEAUTIFULLY BOHO We’re having a boho-style wedding; how can we incorporate this theme throughout our day? Boho-themed weddings have an effortless, whimsical and romantic feel about them. Nothing screams bohemian more than a floaty dress full of lace with stunning long sleeves and a low back. A tipi can create the perfect set-up for your bohemian style while bringing in many earthy tones within the flowers, like bunny tails and pampas grass. These colours work well with many tones like pale peaches, greens and even autumnal colours. Adding vintage Turkish rugs, peacock chairs, vintagelooking sofas and throws can set off that free-spirited vibe when decorating your venue. Dream catchers and macramé also ooze that bohemian vibe and will work well within the tipi set-up. You could even use macramé for table runners. The choices are endless when choosing this theme; even a woodland would work perfectly and has a whimsical feel.
