Your Gloucestershire and Wiltshire Wedding- Page number 53 - June/July 2021 (Issue 27)

Your day dressed your way STYLE ME PRETTY FABULOUS FLOWERS Fi Passey from Corky and Prince wedding florist based in Kempsford, Gloucestershire, tells us all about the trends for big-day blooms this season. She says, “Floral towers or columns are becoming increasingly popular with couples looking for a versatile alternative to a floral arch. These designs can be placed at the entrance to the venue (as seen here at stunning Gloucestershire establishment, Elmore Court, www.elmorecourt.com) or as a backdrop for the ceremony. Unlike a floral arch, these arrangements can be moved to the wedding reception, after the ceremony, to create a focal point or frame the top table.” Fi continues, “Flower meadows are fantastic design options for the aisle – either in a church or ceremony venue. These floor-based designs can be created in a range of styles - from natural wildflower-inspired shapes to more classic and elegant ones. After the ceremony, these blooms look beautiful placed on the floor in front of the top table or around the cake and card tables.” LET’S CHAT: 07740 589 640, www.corkyandprince.com www.facebook.com/corkyandprince, ww w.instagram.com/corkyandprince BOTANICAL THEME Sandra Trusty from Fabulous Functions UK is a wedding designer and venue stylist based in Swindon, Wiltshire. She tells us, “We have teamed up with wedding venue Wrag Barn in Swindon (www.wragbarn.com) an d Wiltshire-based photographer Steffen Milsom (www.steffenmilsomphotography.co.uk) to create a beautifully intimate setting for an outdoor wedding ceremony and an indoor wedding breakfast, sure to be very popular for micro weddings this summer. These ideas are being recreated for some of our couples who are now able to go ahead with their wedding plans. The arches are proving very popular and can be customised for each different theme.” Sandra continues, “The botanical theme is trending at the moment with couples wishing to bring the outdoors in. We achieve this fashionable look by creating an overhead canopy using a variety of lush foliage and then echoing the theme in the table garland for the centrepiece.” LET’S CHAT: 07511 842 451, www.fabulousfunctionsuk.com, www.facebook.com/ukfabfunctions, ww w.instagram.com/ukfabfunctions https://red maplephotography.com https://red maplephotography.com https://red maplephotography.com https://red maplephotography.com https://redm aplephotography.com VENUE STYLING 53 
