Your Bristol & Somerset Wedding - Feb/Mar 2020 (Issue 75)

Our experts solve your dilemmas HOT T OPIC paulfoliophotography.com GREEN WITH ENVY Q What new venue styling trends can we incorporate into our 2020 wedding? Heading into 2020 with the fresh start of a new decade, we are becoming more conscious of our environment, and this awareness is being reflected in current wedding trends. Keep it classical while bringing the outside in using a palette of sage green and white with accents of clear glass items. I also love vintage glassware as it gives an injection of colour to the table. Collect it yourself or hire it and embrace its eclectic nature with different sizes, textures and colours. Quite often handmade, it’s a lovely nod to artisans of years gone by. It’s a great idea to reuse and recycle products that we already have, making it current and helping to look after the planet at the same time. Chloe Kennedy | Kennedy Events & Weddings kennedyevents.co.uk SPRING INTO ACTION Q We want a pretty springtime feel to our wedding. What flowers and styles would you suggest? This season evokes pastel colour designs in a traditional style alongside soft linens, pinks, peaches and whites. Consider a beautiful hand-tied bouquet with white avalanche roses, cream and pink lisianthus and baby blue eucalyptus to finish. For your centrepieces, I’d suggest tall, flowing arrangements with calla lily brasilia, eucalyptus cinerea, alstroemeria gigi cream and pistache foliage alongside cream amaranthus and David Austin Keira roses. Team this with long or short stem vases filled with pink peonies and white avalanche roses in the middle of the tables, which allows guests to chat and interact over dinner while admiring your gorgeous florals.
