Items for hire include rose gold, champagne and silver sequin table cloths, bunting and elegant ceiling drapes. “The archways don’t always have to be predominantly made using flowers, they can combine different types of foliage that won’t wilt in hot weather.” “Aisle runners in soft colours are becoming very popular, like a subtle version of the red carpet,” says Cat. “Lanterns are currently trending at summer weddings, and hurricane ones look fantastic lining the steps of an outdoor aisle,” Cat says. Cat Chadwick, director of The Devon Wedding & Event Company Ltd also predicts how floral archways are here to stay. “These can be full floral installations or with the top half covered with blooms and the bottom comprising elegant chiffon draping cascading to the ground.” The Devon Wedding & Event Company Ltd, 01626 864 486, thedevonweddingcompany.co.uk @devonweddingco gettyimages.co.uk gettyimages.co.uk Cat is also seeing a demand for colourful chair sashes in strong satin hues. “This material allows them to be tied easily and the bows stay in place,” she says. “Why not tie side bows on the chairs lining the aisle runner for something a bit different?”
