Your Sussex Wedding - April/May 2024 (Issue 108)

54 WILD WEDDINGS! “These days a church or registry office wedding isn’t your only choice,” says Natalie from Watermill Wolves. “Now, weddings are a personal reflection of who you are and people love the chance to go wild, making something truly unique and special. Our wolfy team have appeared at castles, marquees, forests, even graveyards! And as for themes? Game of Thrones, pagan handfasting, fantasy forest, gothic romance, haunted Halloween, even traditional Indian – our furry friends have added personal flair and drama to many special occasions. From guest greeting to ring bearing and aisle running we’ve offered it all and had unforgettable experiences along the way. From the groom’s dream of charging from castle gates, sword drawn with is wolf pack, to the bride wanting to just sit in the flowers for a wolfy cuddle. Our affectionate, socialized pack offer an intimate and dramatic connection with nature and the wild that lives inside all of us.” © Debbie Sanderson Photography BLOSSOMING ROMANCE “There are many ways of personalising your wedding florals whether it’s including favourite or meaningful flowers, or stunning focal blooms with the wow factor that guests will remember,” explains Andrea from The Art Bunch. “This gorgeous couple loved being outdoors, walking and hiking, which was a huge part of their relationship. The bride’s favourite colour was yellow, so I designed a very foliage-based concept bringing in pops of the hue, as well as orange and white using lots of seasonal flowers to really reflect nature and bring the outside into the venue. “The main focal point for the ceremony was a large, deconstructed archway to frame them as they took their vows, which really reflected them as a couple surrounded by nature. The florals then moved to frame the entrance to the reception, again creating wow factor and somewhere for guests to have their photos taken with the flowers as their backdrop. “These kinds of displays are certainly showstoppers and will definitely need a good budget, but they create an impact to be remembered.” www.daleweeksphotography.co.uk www.daleweeksphotography.co.uk Prop hire is the most eco-friendly option for wedding décor and embellishing your space.
