PERFECT PALETTE PICKS What flowers would be suitable for our summer wedding? Summer is a perfect time to get married, as the flowers are in abundance and there is plenty of choice. Embrace the season; roses are at their best as are British wildflowers, which are a great way to soften and add lovely texture to your florals. Look for blooms such as sweet peas, delphinium, stocks, cosmos and nigella, to name a few. They come in a variety of intoxicating colours and scents. If you like pinks, think about adding hints of light blue, as it will bring a magical touch to your colour palette. The choices are endless, but try and utilise the best of British blooms during this time, as nothing quite beats the look that they give. Jemma Khan www.foragefloristry.co.uk PICTURE THIS How can we ensure our photographer is the right fit for our big day? When planning your wedding, you need to do some research into who you are booking. For example, are they within your budget? Is their style for you? Can you build a relationship with them? The wedding industry is full of talented suppliers with different skills who cover various areas. When booking your photographer, they need to be reliable, friendly and up for having fun on your wedding day. You could hire ‘the best’ photographer out there, but they may not have good social skills. Before booking your photographer, follow them on social media and meet with them and make sure you are 100 per cent happy before making the deposit.

What’s set to be the next big trend in the world of wedding photography? Wedding photography is moving away from posed and stiff images to a more natural and candid style. This will allow your personalities to shine through, making each image unique, showing a true, authentic reflection of your day. I love the candid style as I get to capture natural moments that show the joy and emotions of the wedding, along with moments that would normally get lost or missed. Another trend is smoke flares, these add a unique element to the images and are always a lot of fun.
