A wedding day is yours to plan and embrace personalisation, from choosing a unique venue like a wedding tent or a colourful, on-trend theme. Details including butterfly accents, those inspired by the Wild West and disco fever are all options. All of these are brimming with texture, patterns, dainty details, large statement pieces and most of all, they’re full of fun.” www.etiquetteevents.co.uk; www.facebook.com/etiquetteeventstyling; www.instagram.com/etiquetteeventstyling www.capturedbykatrina.co.uk www.naomijanephotography.com VINTAGE VIBES Professional and experienced wedding planner Melanie Jane from Melanie Jane Weddings & Events covering the Cotswolds collaborated on the styled shoot featured on page 43. When it comes to new trends popping up at wedding celebrations this year, she tells us, “Audio guestbooks seem to have become a real hit for weddings this summer. Not only do they look great, with different styles ranging from vintage telephones to retro phone boxes, they offer an excellent alternative to a traditional guest book, allowing you to hear the emotion in your guest’s messages which you can then cherish forever. Such a simple but very effective addition to the day! www.melaniejaneevents.co.uk; www.instagram.com/melaniejaneevent Photographer, www.redmaplephotography.com; audio guestbook, Platinum Music & Events, www.platinummusicevents.co.uk VENUE STYLING 53
