You’ve got a palette to pick, a theme to decide on, props to hire… it’s what Pinterest was made for! First thing’s first, sit down together and have a chat about what you want your wedding day to be. Are the two of you hankering for a relaxed informal, perhaps rustic or festival vibe? Or have you always dreamed of a grand, elegant and luxurious formal affair? The direction and the atmosphere you envision for your celebrations will naturally have guided you to your venue, and in turn will give you a direction for styling it, as will your budget of course. Whatever you have to spend, there are ways to bring your vision to life, you just have to be realistic. A venue stylist will have all the experience, creativity and tricks you need in their arsenal. To get your foot in the door of this world of possibilities, we decided to take a trip down memory lane via our real weddings and shoots to see what trends emerged in 2024, leading us into what might be popular in 2025.

Worthing Dome shoot, issue 109: Venue styling by www.hireyourday.co.uk and flowers www.flowers4worthing.co.uk 1 2 4 5 6 Green was popular in 2024 with a variety of hues forming the base of anything from a sophisticated modern aesthetic to a romantic rustic celebration. Often paired with white or gold for a touch of warmth, this versatile colour synonymous with nature created a light, fresh feel for our real wedding couples’ nuptials. Oh-so chic and understated, black and white was a heavy hitter in the palette world among those modern, glam, blacktie couples. Blue too made a regular appearance, whether it be the main colour or an underlying accent. The most popular bar none was a dusky shade likely enjoying its moment into the sun thanks to Bridgerton’s Wedgewood, Regency tones. www.sarahwilliamsphotography.com www.sarahwilliamsphotography.com https://vpphotography.pics www.costaweddings.co.uk https://vpphotography.pics FLOWERS 61 VENUE STYLING
