Your Herts and Beds Wedding - June/July 2024 (Issue 104)

FLOWERS 53 FINISHING TOUCHES SUSTAINABLE CONFETTI It’s important to be conscious of the confetti you choose from a sustainable standpoint, but there are biodegradable options. Choose petals matching your palette and your confetti throw photos will be on point!

This can manifest in delicately coloured lace, handmade silk flowers and unique embroidery and beadwork on the gown or veil. Your loved ones will delight in the close-up effects that these artisanal details create! I love making silk flowers and petals for my bespoke gowns. I frequently work with talented embroidery artists to elevate your look to extraordinary levels! This means that you can have whatever flower, emblem or initials embroidered onto your wedding dress, making it instantly more personal.

Each choose your own favourite or ask your bar supplier if they can come up with something bespoke. ICE CREAM Perfect for summer weddings, ice cream trucks or bikes are a great alternative to traditional desserts with various flavours and toppings – it’s also great at cooling guests down.

A floral arrangement adorning the banister as the bride walks down the stairs, the tiny flowers in the hair, the pocket of flowers to make the groom feel awesome or the flowers that adorn the cake will add the wow factor. It doesn’t have to be big or expensive, it’s just a little bit of imagination. Just a touch here and there can make the difference.
