“A great way to interpret monochromatic is to use variations in tones of the same colour. To create a striking design, use an ombre style progressing from lighter to darker shades. This can be incorporated into everything from your napkins and signage to the groomsmen’s ties and your other décor.” – Amy Evans from MillieBuds. www.detailstyling.com & www.jobradbury.co.uk “Blank space and modern typography for your wedding stationery are important if you’re looking for a clean, pared-back look. Adding layers of card or vellum to your table stationery, such as menus, will add a touch of luxury for your guests. Or if you want to add a shaped stationery design, such as curved, this will add contrast to the overall look.” – Maria from Detail Event Styling & Design. “A variety of textures and mixed tones is key. I recommend you consider this throughout all your design elements, from the wedding attire to the stationery and all the small details on your tablescape.” – Maria from Detail Event Styling & Design. A dreamy setting The latest venue styling trends If you’ve booked your venue, then the next thing you’ll be thinking about is how to style it. With so many options available, this can seem like a daunting task, but the most important thing to remember is that any space can be transformed with even the simplest of details. To help you create the wedding of your dreams, we’ve asked local experts how to style three on-trend themes… “This theme offers elegance and sophistication and can be styled in a modern way with details making all the difference. Whether you choose a clean aesthetic or a detailed tablescape, you can create an elegant and luxurious design. For an effortlessly chic look, use black in subtle ways alongside different white tones. This will give depth and warmth to what can sometimes be a cold colour palette.” – Maria Jakulis from Detail Event Styling & Design. Monochrome www.detailstyling.com & www.jobradbury.co.uk www.fleursandinkfloristry.co.uk & www.oliviajmorgan.com www.detailstyling.com & www.jobradbury.co.uk www.detailstyling.com & www.jobradbury.co.uk “Consider adding black through the smaller details, such as a silk ribbon around your wedding bouquet and black cutlery or plates. Getting the balance right with the colour tones is easier if you add touches of black rather than going big with the hue. For added warmth, consider candlelight; you can never have too many white candles for this theme.” – Maria from Detail Event Styling & Design. “A monochrome wedding can be an elegant and sophisticated choice that exudes timeless beauty. Using a variety of flowers and textures is key to creating interest in your floral arrangements. Think about adding textures within the styling of tables, such as draping linens, lace and textured cards for the stationery. Incorporating metallic accents like gold, silver, or copper can break the monotony and add a touch of glamour to a monochrome theme. Consider metallic vases, candleholders, or tableware to complement the floral arrangements. Lighting also plays a vital role in setting the mood. Use soft, ambient lighting to enhance the monochrome theme. Consider fairylights, lanterns, or candles that complement the floral arrangements.” – Abbey James from Fleurs&Ink Floristry. www.unsplash.com/ @anitaaustvika VENUE STYLING 55
