VENUE STYLING 65  Style FOR ALL SEASONS As the calendar ticks round, take inspiration from the flora, fauna and feel of your wedding date – top London stylists show us how Assumpta Vitcu of AVE Creations on a summer scorcher The colour palette: Natural greens and seasonal brights The venue : Nash Conservatory at Kew Gardens or The Great Conservatory at Syon Park. The details: Bespoke, fragrant and seasonal florals, crafted into statement displays such as arches and centrepieces that aren’t structured but follow a more natural and organic shape will be prevalent in 2020. Brides and grooms are increasingly more eco-conscious, hence leaning towards a more natural look. AVE Creations | avecreations.com ayangurung.com NEW AWAKENING Lorna Reeves of MyOhMy Weddings on a spring a-ding-ding The colour palette: Rich greens, pop of blue and tiny white flowers The venue: Manicomio, Chelsea or Spring at Somerset House. The details: This season is all about new beginnings, the lush green of new growth, the burst of bluebells and snowdrops and the scent of spring. Fill your venue with fragrant rosemary or mint that will warm as the room does and remind your guests of your day for years to come. Spring isn’t about billowing flowers, it’s tiny buds peeking through; the promise of something amazing. Keep fabrics light and gauzy for an air of romance and ground your palette with rich greens, which will allow the tiny buds and pops of blue to sing. Think texture – a boucle fabric to echo spring moss, or silk skirt unfurling like a petal.
