We’d hang cream drapery from giant chandeliers to the corner of the room. The tables would be adorned with metre-high candelabra wrapped with roses.” – Simon Gerrard, Crescent Moon “Combine rich gem colours with metallic touches through mirrors, frames and signage. Traditional floral arrangements balanced with greenery sit perfectly next to elaborate centrepieces. A touch of glitter or gold leaf gives a luxe edge to place settings and menus, while velvet or silk ribbons add glamour to favours.” – Fran Baxter-Hunter, Hunter Gatherings “Think champagne fountains, ice sculptures and canapés on mirrored trays. Imagine flowers cascading from tables to the floor like fabric, candelabra with tall candles and silk-covered favour boxes sitting alongside exquisite tableware and crystal glasses. I’d also love to see a monogrammed aisle runner scattered with petals and candles.” – Kelly Harmer, Oh So Kel “Our wisteria tree, hung with crystals, would look amazing shimmering in the light. Chill- out furniture should be classic in style in a rich, grey linen material. Don’t be afraid to include touches of gold to pair perfectly with a cream palette.” – Simon Gerrard, Crescent Moon VENUE STYLING 61 “Once you’ve chosen your colour scheme, splash out on flowers and silk. Silk is luxurious, pleasing on the eye and falls beautifully. You can intertwine it with your floral displays and create elaborate garlands. For a less expensive alternative, look for faux-silk ribbons.” – Catherine Cooke, Bertie’s Bows
