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. Luckily, we’re blessed in the North West with some incredibly talented suppliers, so the world’s your oyster. Begin by deciding on a colour scheme or theme for your day. Do you and your partner love the great outdoors or want to incorporate your favourite film series? There are lots of ways that you can have a theme without it being over the top or tacky. If there isn’t a particular idea that stands out to you, opt for a colour scheme instead. Is blue your favourite colour? Why not incorporate the hue into your napkins, bridesmaids’ dresses and flowers? Ask your venue for their suggestions on how to style the space; they’re the experts after all. When looking for a venue stylist, the best thing to do is reach out to companies that have created looks that are similar to what you envision. Ask to see images of their previous work and read reviews from previous couples to make sure that they can deliver what they’re promising. To help give you some ideas, we’ve rounded up local stylists and asked for their tips for creating an on-trend celebration. Happy planning!
