Your Midlands Wedding - August/September 2024 (Issue 93)

VENUE STYLING 59 www.mustardyellowphotography.com In 2024, blush pink and ivory made a comeback as a popular colour scheme, but nothing beats the timeless elegance of a classic white wedding. While wedding styles may differ, white and ivory flowers paired with sage green accents remain stylish, adding a touch of sophistication to the occasion. Bright colours may catch the eye, but there’s a unique beauty in contrasting ivory blooms against green foliage. - Vanessa Henderson, Floral Jazz https://mikelly.co.uk Being based in rural Shropshire, our brides are in touch with nature, and we have lots of requests for seasonal colour palettes and a bend of locally grown with Dutch imports; this is always a winning combination as it allows us to choose the best seasonal blooms, should it be peonies in May and June or rusts and reds with plenty of seedheads for autumn brides. - Kimberley Steffen, The Petal Bar Ltd Bold colours are in! Bright pinks and oranges add energy and joy to weddings, perfect for creating a festive atmosphere in floral arrangements and table settings. - Kara Owen, Kara-Mia Venue Styling The trend is moving away from traditional ivory and sage green hues towards a more diverse range of colours. From soft pastels like lilac, peach and soft blues to bold shades like hot pink, purples and oranges, there’s a growing popularity for mixing and matching different colours. I teamed up with Ambience Nottingham for the styling. - Emma Whittle, Mayflower and Lily www.th-photography.co.uk www.mustardyellowphotography.com Metallics, especially gold, have generated much interest, especially combining with black and white styling. While grooms aren’t fully embracing the ‘black tie’ look, black suits are definitely becoming more common. This creates a simple yet elegant style that looks stunning throughout the entire day. I teamed up with Ambience Nottingham for the styling. - Emma Whittle, Mayflower and Lily There’s a growing demand for shades of purple, whether combined with blues, pinks, creams or a combination of all three. Remember that incorporating lighter tones alongside darker shades can enhance the overall arrangement and make the other flowers pop. - Vanessa Henderson, Floral Jazz This year, many brides have been incorporating vibrant pops of colour into their softer colour schemes. The inspiration behind this couple’s colour palette came from a stunning wedding dress worn by one of the bride’s closest friends. Adding cerise pink brought depth and made the softer pinks stand out beautifully. The bride opted for a lovely cascading bouquet, which was a delight to put together, and the fragrance of the trailing Jasmine was simply divine. - Allyson Martin, Bloomery https://kathryngoddardphotography.co.uk
