HOT TOPIC THIS TIME IT’S PERSONAL! The county’s experts offer stellar advice on personalising your nuptials IMAGINE ME AND YOU Mercedes from 4YaParty Weddings and Events (www.4yaparty.co.uk) says: One of my favourite ways to personalise weddings when decorating is with photos. It’s the perfect way to show your favourite moments from your relationship or a time line of significant events throughout your years together. Perhaps you had an engagement shoot and you’d like to show the resulting images to your guests. Some of the most popular ways to display these is in your centrepieces. We’ve incorporated frames with our table centres or even hung them from the centrepiece itself. We’ve used photos to form an element of the table number displays in the past too. If you want to make a bold statement of your love, our neon frame with string lights is a beautiful way to display images all lit up. What better way to make sure your big day tells your personal love story than by sharing it through photos? https://assassynation.co.uk THE STORY OF US Nicky Clements from Nicola Rose Weddings & Events (www.nicolaroseweddingsandevents.co.uk) says: Your wedding day is a once-in-a-lifetime event that should reflect your unique love story and personalities. Here are some ideas to help you personalise your wedding. • Start with your invitations. Include all the necessary information for your guests, but also consider adding a fun infographic detailing significant moments in your relationship, from when you first met to when you got engaged and moved in together. • Writing your vows is an intimate and personal moment to share. If you feel daunted, the internet is full of helpful ideas to get you started. • Take inspiration from royalty and consider having an image that holds special meaning embroidered onto your dress, veil or pocket square, such as a picture of your pet or the place where you got engaged. • Create a signature cocktail that is inspired by a wonderful holiday or your upcoming honeymoon. • Having a wedding website is an excellent way to provide your family and friends with helpful information, such as local hotels, directions and parking. It’s also a great place to share fun and fabulous details about your love story as a couple, including gorgeous photos. With a little planning and creativity, you can personalise your wedding to tell your story and make your day truly special. www.florenceberry.com EXPERT ADVICE 67
