ALL IN THE DETAIL Props and lighting make a huge difference when it comes to creating ambience and are great for the wedding photos too. Think strings of twinkling fairylights to transform an outdoor space and flickering lanterns to line the aisle. Suffolk-based Giant Gestures offers everything from blossom trees and floral arches, to giant light-up letters, welcome signs, backdrops and bespoke décor too. Owner Rebecca Oliver says, “It’s easy to sometimes get carried away styling your wedding when venue stylists and prop hire companies can make it not only stress-free, but eco-friendly too. Signage such as mirrored seating plans and giant letters can add an elegant, sophisticated look to your day and are all are reusable. Even bespoke decor can be dismantled and reused and we often repurpose things so there’s little waste.” Visit www.giantgestures.com www.gemmagiorgio.com These LOVE letters in the courtyard of Suffolk’s Hengrave Hall give the outside space an extra romantic feel. GREEN IS THE NEW BLACK Love for greenery just keeps on growing. Lashings of foliage and living trees help bring the outside in; perfect for a natural, country-themed wedding. At Norfolk-based Posh Plants you can hire real olive, bay and birch trees to decorate all types of venues from stately homes to gardens or for the ultimate fairytale wedding, their fourmetre tall faux birch trees are ideal. Owner Sue Huckle says: “I think both settings (pictured) encompass the Georgian/Regency period and reflect the Bridgerton vibe that everyone’s loving right now!” Visit www.poshplants.com for further information. The soft blue-green, grey shades of Posh Plants olive trees tone in beautifully with the Georgian style decor of the Orangery at Sibton Park. Norfolk’s historic Holkham Hall is always a favourite for a classical wedding. 57 VENUE STYLING
