Expect to see awe-inspiring hanging floral installations, arches, and large table centrepieces.” – Joanna Ward, Inspiration Decor “Bridal bouquets will continue to lean towards the relaxed, less formal variety with lots of greenery and a looser style.” – Fiona Sharkey, Ashdown Events We’ve seen more couples embracing the champagne tower, and some opt for this as an alternative to cakecutting. An opulent symbol of celebration, there’s something of the old-school Hollywood to them. “When it comes to styling elements and props, we’re all for the clashing trend! A mismatch of design offers a less formal feel to a wedding. It can be done in a multitude of ways, a contrast of patterns, fabrics, textures and colour. There’s something very beautiful about juxtaposing chic cut glass with rustic vintage metals.” – Sally Gallis, Luna And The Lane WITH THANKS TO OUR EXPERTS Fiona Sharkey, Ashdown Events, www.ashdownevents.co.uk | Joanna Ward, Inspiration Decor, https://inspirationdecor.co.uk Sally Gallis, Luna And The Lane, www.lunaandthelane.co.uk Inspiration Decor © www.thesoulofmylens.co.uk Luna And The Lane © https://annamariestepney.co.uk VENUE STYLING 69
