EASY WAYS TO SET THE TONE ▲ TRULY ROMANT IC There’s nothing better to set a scene then candles, not only are they affordable and symbolise romance, but this little touch is a small and simple way to make a huge impact. If you have little ones running around or are worried about having real ones, place them in glass jars or lantern – LED candles are the next best thing. ▲ L IGHT ING I S ESSENT I AL ! I can’t stress how important lighting is on a wedding day, it’s the perfect way to add atmosphere and transform a venue – think fairylights, light up signs, lanterns, lightbulbs and more! Have fun with it and even experiment with fun colours to match your wedding theme. ▲ FLY ING HIGH Are you looking for a bit of fun on the big day? Balloons are an excellent way to add something different and bring your venue to life. Get creative with colours, sizes, designs and let your imagination run wild. Use them in multiple ways such as centrepieces, backdrops, balloon walls, and they look amazing in pictures. ▲ GRAND DES IGNS Drapes are a great way to add style and drama to any wedding and can be used to soften edges or hide spots. They also look great in doorways and windows! By using textures such as chiffon, poly premier or poly satin, the whole space will feel more personal and cosy. ▼ F LORAL BEAUTY Flower arches are a great way to set the perfect scene, incorporate your theme, colour scheme and impress your guests. After the service, the arch can be used again as decoration for the reception. VENUE STYLING 75
