HOT TOPIC Local experts offer stellar advice on spring wedding PLANNED TO PERFECTION Spring is a wonderful time to get married, with its blooming flowers and fresh spring air, but the weather can be unpredictable! It’s a good idea to have a backup plan in case of rain or other inclement weather. If you’re planning an outdoor element during your big day, then speak with your venue to ensure you have an indoor option available for a quick turnaround if the sky starts clouding over. Additionally, to ensure your guests are comfortable, provide blankets for cooler evenings, and consider having some indoor areas available for guests to warm up. Celebrate the season by selecting flowers and food that reflect its beauty. Spring brings a variety of stunning blooms like tulips, daffodils, and hyacinths. Pair these with delicious dishes such as grilled salmon, roasted chicken, and fresh seasonal salads. Prioritising locally sourced and seasonal produce for your menu and flower displays is not only good for the environment by reducing transportation emissions, which we are all about, but it also should also save you money. Anouska Parsons | Raggy&Boo | www.raggyandboo.com STYLED TO PERFECTION Using wild and colourful spring-like florals to dress statement décor pieces is an absolute must for any spring wedding aesthetic. Choosing light colours such as our white-painted frames and mesh backdrops, and adding your coordinating florals across them will ensure your day ties together beautifully. Whether you opt for a custom neon sign with your names, or some romantic wording that resonates with you both, it can provide the perfect backdrop to many parts of your day when dressed in spring florals, including at the top of the ceremony aisle, behind the cake table or as a backdrop to the first dance. Then continue to use accents of the florals wherever you can, such as around your cake, just like in this spring ‘Daisy Daydream’ set-up.
