How to dress the trends S t y l e i t o u t Y ou’ve done a lot of the hard work, and now it’s time to think about venue styling! Often the m st exciting part of wedding planning, it’s also hard to know where to start. We caught up with some of the region’s best stylists to get the lowdown on dressing three different trends. We wholeheartedly believe a wedding should reflect you and your partner – so take these ideas, and run with them… METALLIC LUXE Luxe: noun expensive and of high quality; luxurious “Incorporate metallic elements such as vases and votives, which look particularly striking against white and pastel colours.” – Stephanie York, Monet Events “Combine glamorous metallic with soft tones to even out the look, and use sequin tablecloths for extra glam. For the tables, try tall floral candelabra with twinkling tea lights at the base.” – Emma Fews, Elf Occasions “You can hire mirrored tabletops to reflect your centrepieces and lighting around the room for real wow factor. We also love charger plates, gold cutlery and stylish glassware for a luxury feel.” – Stephanie York, Monet Events “Your table plan will set the tone of your reception as it’s one of the first things your guests will look at. We create gorgeous mirror plans in metallic frames – perfect for getting selfies in the reflection!” – Emma Fews, Elf Occasions elfoccasions.co.uk | themenagerielifestylephotography.co.uk elfoccasions.co.uk | farries-photography.co.uk fairytale-finishes.co.uk fairytale-finishes.co.uk starryeyedweddings.co.uk | thepeonystudios.com facebook.com/whitelaceevent1 “We love using oversized foil fringing for a statement focal point. Mirror balls, stars and metallic paper decorations really pull the look together. Finish off with a fairylight curtain for a warm, glowing backdrop.” – Hayley Clements, Starry Eyed Weddings “I love walking into a venue with high table arrangements on mirrored plates with scattered diamantés on the table. It’s so elegant and reflects beautiful colours around the space.” – Victoria Makepeace, Simply Stunning Flowers 73 VENUE STYLING
