It’s wonderful to convey your personalities and create a magical environment for you and your guests, but if you get swept away in the moment and your beautiful reception space starts to take on the appearance of an explosion in a paint factory, it’s difficult to turn back. On that note, we decided to consult the region's venue styling professionals to find out how they turn venues into veritable wonderlands using masterful strokes of controlled colour. Get the look Simple white styling is on trend at the moment and as we saw in Kirsty and Adam’s beautiful day in issue 46, it’s brilliantly effective and elegant. lesleymeredith.co.uk ▼ Ever thought of using light to paint the venue in your shade of choice?
