Your North West Wedding - Feb/Mar 2020 (Issue 60)

Our experts solve your problems CROWN OF GLORY I’m getting married next spring and would love to incorporate some of the season’s best flowers into my hair. Do you have any ideas of how I can do this? There’s an abundance of beautiful blooms available during spring that would be perfect for your wedding. ❤ For a classic look, a single statement bloom could be pinned into a chignon or bun. This style also works well with a floral comb. ❤ A loosely braided style can be enhanced by the addition of floral pins or vines. Dried options and gypsophila would work perfectly. ❤ If you’re having a bohemian-themed wedding, then a flower crown is a must-have accessory! These can be made with virtually any type of flower, from large statement pieces such as peonies and roses to more delicate options like daisies, wax flowers and forget-me-nots. To ensure your crown will last throughout the day without wilting, opt for artificial blooms. With a vast array of faux flowers available, it’s often hard to tell the difference. These can even be matched to your bouquet. Julie Berry, Flower crown specialist flowercrownmagic.com WEDDING WORRIES LET ME ENTERTAIN YOU We’re looking for some quirky entertainment to keep our guests entertained. Do you have any suggestions? If you’re looking for something a bit different for your wedding, I suggest you look into clay pigeon shooting. You could organise a shooting day before your nuptials as a way of letting your guests get to know each other. Alternatively, the groomsmen could blow off some steam on the morning of the wedding by blasting clays or doing some archery. If your guests are staying overnight at your venue, you could organise clay pigeon shooting, archery or even axe throwing for the morning after. Whichever option you choose it will make your big day stand out. You could even organise an event for your hen or stag do.
